Uh... 73% acceptance rate at UTSA to 59% at UNT. 60% retention rate at UTSA to 79% at UNT. 9% 4-year graduation rate at UTSA to 22% at UNT. 12% of students live on campus at UTSA to 19.3% at UNT. ...these stats are even more impressive because we have a lot more students. UTSA has 8 nationally ranked programs...UNT has 20 nationally ranked programs. UTSA has no top 50 ranked programs...UNT has 5 top 50 ranked programs. UTSA has less of an athletic budget than UNT. Keep in mind those rankings don't include our music and hospitality programs which are some of the best in the country. And our journalism program, the only nationally accredited program in Texas. Shall I go on? We do have a better endowment than you as well. We have similar research numbers (logical, since we are not a science-heavy school historically) and similar acceptance requirements. As do all the schools in Texas. We are way superior academically. It's not even an argument you can argue. Oh, and small school? Really? More students attend UNT than UTSA....... Also, you can't argue professor worth, there's no statistic for that. Although I likely doubt that you have better professors than us.

You finally slipped and pushed the troll bit too hard with the UAH reference, because no one would use arguably the worst loss of the last 8 years as their battle cry and mean it, right?

Had to kick down my bathroom door, but it is on now.

They just showed the US in the staging area and who was there front and center throwing up the claw?!?!! JQ!!! If I knew how to make a vine of it I would, but I don't, so I won't bc I can't.

No one is stopping you. Go ahead.

yes excuses from an AD, whose ass should be on the line for the numerous crappy hires piling up

I'm done fighting this. I simply explain it to my kids that y'all do know that a raptor's claw has four Talons, not three, but its how the new generation does it, and to imagine that the fourth talon is the curled up one ready to spring out. Rick

Don't legitimize the troll. He really isn't even worth a response, people. The mere fact that he is on here in the off season shows how desperate he is for anyone to recognize his craphole program.

Crow?

Exactly where is your right hand when you watch these?

I'm not worried about giving a new coach a fair shake. I'm worried about the direction of the program for the next 2 years. I really want to buy season tickets next year. The AD could do something or they could do nothing to make my mind up.

utsa sucks. This dude is an idiot. Someone posted statistical facts stating that North Texas is a better academic institution by a wide margin. Yet this dude gets on here with his jibber jabber with no references except personal opinion. As far as him never hearing about North Texas, that's BS and he knows it. Just remember though, utsa lives under the thumb of UT.

Insane.

Completely disagree here. You have a former head coach sitting on the staff. While all the assistants have to support Benford publicly, what they think privately may be an entirely different thing. Things would be way different with a different head coach, even if it was an interm from this current staff.

I can't believe this is a thread.

The 2010 kids were freshmen that year. They were here before Dodge got fired.

The 2010 class had just one winning season and never won a conference championship. If I could choose which career I could have as a college player, I would take the career of the class of 2000 over the career of the 2010 class.

I hope moving forward any and all replies to you are just images. I'll kick the efforts off. Cheers, Dude!

Just saw a short clip of Johnny before they walk out in opening ceremonies....and he was throwing the eagle talon!!!!! Hope somebody else saw that

Benford Bin Fire coincidence?

REVENGE

First off: Stop calling people names. It is childish and counterproductive. Can you not understand that the people on this board are the diehards? This isn't the 1%, It's the .1% Of course people on here are going to drive long distances to go to UNT games, that's what we do. But guess what, 99% of the alumni aren't diehard fans. And if you ever want to sell out Apogee, hell, have to expand it, you have to get the non diehards to come on board. So you traveled to a bunch of football games? Congrats. How many swim team events did you make? How about the best program we have, soccer, did you make the trip to Norman last year to watch NT Soccer cream OU? How about the Texas Legends? They are short drive away, how many minor league basketball games did you make last year? What, none? Because you aren't a fan of them? MOST OF OUR ALUMNI DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR TEAMS! Acting like a bunch of self righteous jerks isn't going to attract them. We need to make these events attractive. Mac and the team are doing their part. Do yours. Don't call alumni who don't make the trip pathetic and call them pussies. Buy them a ticket, offer to host them, go out of your way to make sure they have a great time at the game. They will come back once they see what they are missing. Or, look down your nose at them, just don't drive people away by calling them names, it's the least you can do. PS: Oh, and I am pretty sure you can't brag about being a Mean Green road warrior unless you made a trip to the Kibbie Dome.

Is that a requirement for the job?

Do we respond from the last couple of games? Who are we kidding - we're gonna get rolled big. I probably won't even bother to listen, and everyone should know, that is saying a lot.

OK. So we should all just "cram" these insinuations?

Jaylen Veasley @TauaaloTj15 future teammates? — Jaylen Veasley™ (@BIGACE54) February 8, 2014

Actually, we are recruiting a level above them. They got lucky on a QB. He's gone. Why do we even give a crap about this craphole anyway?

No lead is safe with this team, but I like the way we've looked.

Good Work Guys Here's what we are apparently looking at for 2015: UNT said they only takin 2 Safeties, 4 Wide Receivers, & 1 Quarterback in our class so we was like… http://t.co/A8sZdvlqIP — Patrick Sneed #⃣2⃣1⃣ (@Webe3hunna) February 8, 2014

Putin's response to Johnny flashing the Talon during last night's opening ceremonies? Bathroom imprisonment. Johnny's response?

I think this is very well done.

It's really just endowment, and since the endowment is low the restricted research is low. They go hand in hand. We've hit the other metrics they use. Problem is we discouraged donations for years, so we're just playing catch up. Which is why schools like Texas at San Antonio and San Marcos River College have caught up or even passed us. We're all starting from the same place in that regard. Hopefully Smatresk can push that endowment high very quickly like he did at UNLV.

On in a minute! Go USA! GMG!

I've watched this about a thousand times now.

Johnny Quinn at opening ceremonygle talon just now?

Hearing the truth instead of delusional takes hurts, huh?

I expect to win. I can't make that any clearer. You play to win. You don't play to keep the score respectable or to feel good about yourself, but to win. If we lose, but played to win then so be it. But if we fold up like a lounge chair at any moment in that game and this includes play calling and player mentality then I will be disappointed.

Want to, plan to, just haven't. Don't know much about it.

Tank Kelly chose UTSA over UNT too. Then Fresno State flipped him the last week.

Not quite--Dickey beat them in his last season here, costing SMU and Phil Bennett a bowl bid, as they finished 5-7. The next year, Todd Dodge's team lost a tough one in Dallas, which was Phil Bennett's only win that year, which was his last.

I give their leadership a ton of credit. Hiring Larry Brown to coach at his age, when he hasn't coached college basketball since 1988, and also buying off Jankovich to be the coach-in-wating from his Illinois State head coaching gig took some major boldness and dollars to commit. I get that they have money to throw around down there because of their alumni, but the boldness part, at least for now, is really paying off. Next year, when the AAC loses Louisville, SMU might just be one of the top 4 teams to win that league, with Cincy, Memphis, and UConn. That is incredible to type, much less believe, but it really does make you realize just how dormant their hoops program was under Doherty and the coaches before him. Shocking how much coaching actually matters, huh? (See Brown at SMU and Benford at UNT)

RIP MBBall Bits.

Except for rankings of bands and drum lines.

It's no different than your games against Arizona and OK State.

If we don't win this game, Benford should be fired. Oh wait, that used to be funny.

I'm seriously wondering if we beat last year's win total.

If you're brother, or any of his teammates feel the same way, I would prefer that they stay home on Aug. 30th. I can't understand why anyone would have less expectations of their team and/or program than the fans/alumni of the Appalachian States or ULM's of the college football world.
