  1. If Eastern Michigan joins them do we take over the number 125 ranking or do we have to stay at 127?

  2. Traveling last night on business and happened to be staying at the same hotel as the men's golf team...Hilton Garden Inn in Texarkana! Nice Mercedes van to travel in with a nice big eagle on it! Took a pic, but can't seem to be able to post it. Saw folks from UTSA and UTEP there also.

  10. I thought I made out like a bandit at the garage sale. Spent $10 on C. Dan Smith's game ball from the 2006 SMU victory. Got a very nice polo. And the big catch for me was Lairamie Lee's black jersey from the Halloween game against Rice in 2013, where he had several stops during the 8 play stand, including the 4th down sack that sealed the win. I've missed Lee's physical style of play the last few seasons.

  12. Loved this statement from the twitter. "Idaho football expected to make unprecedented move from FBS to FCS & Big Sky, sources confirm" I certainly can't think of any other schools that willingly moved one step down from the top classification of college football. Can anyone else?

  14. So exactly how is it good for UNT that Kansas or Iowa State or Colorado can come down to DFW and run these camps and get in with the HS coaches and recruits? Because I don't see one damn thing good about it for us. We should already be talking to kids and HS coaches in East Texas, South Texas, and West Texas.

  15. While there are some college football teams that face tough schedules, there are also teams on the other end of the spectrum. And while an easy schedule doesn’t necessarily guarantee wins, here are 10 teams who statistically should face less pressure in 2016: UTEP ADVERTISING Buzz: If we’re talking easiest schedules in college football, UTEP has to lead the discussion. The Miners face just two teams that were bowl eligible last season (Southern Miss, La. Tech) and one team from a Power 5 conference (Texas). That’s good news for a program that dipped from seven wins in 2014 to five wins in 2015. Toughest games: at Texas (S10), Southern Miss (S24), at Louisiana Tech (O1). t

  17. Speculation. But it really should be fact. Alas... I agree, until otherwise proven, all those players leaving last season is on the coach (particularly given all the rumors surrounding her exit at her last job), after all a big number of them were not graduating so the youth of the team is likely not a given but a problem she created. Because of that I am very reluctant to allow for the youth argument in her favor, to me she basically had to show results immeadately. And missing the tournament when it is at home is a really bad look too.

  20. Well, I don't sit in the Club Level nor do I have a suite. I sit in the stands. I also do not leave during the 3rd quarter. I am not lookjmg for another Jerry World, but a functional stadium that is fan friendly and possesses good sight lines and the amenities to make the visit enjoyable. Apogee beats all of these hands down. Of course, now you add in team performance and the setting where the stadium is located, neither of which improve the facility, to bolster your argument. Let's call this what it is, you are taking the tact of a few other posters and refuse to give credit where credit is due because it has the University of North Texas attached to it.

  22. This is a conference based decision, not something faculty/student driven. They simply can't afford to buy enough homes games like ND and BYU can, and they don't have the service academy cache to sell to alumni like Army can. Without revenue sharing and conference scheduling they would starve to death in FBS. Very sad day for their alumni.

  23. Seems like there was another Buyers catch that made the MGP video. But agree, the one they called out of bounds was a great catch. Wish that ref would have been in Austin in 1988. GMG

  26. New Mexico State should drop down as well. I applaud these schools for facing the music. The NCAA and bigger schools, really, upped the ante by marrying into television marketing. The bigger schools took advantage of it; others were slow to catch on. Some, like Baylor, got lucky by being able to freeload off the Big 12 for a decade before finally finding the right coach...who was willing to recruit the criminal element necessary to keep up with OU and Texas. Boise State caught lightning in a bottle by beating Oklahoma 10 years ago. But, that was long ago and never got them an invite to hang with the cool crowd schools. TCU fought like hell on and off the field to get an Big Boy invite. Gotta admire that. They are the true outlier from the beginning of the shake up that began in 1995/96. Idaho, New Mexico State, Eastern Michigan...at some point, you have to look around and ask yourself whether the millions of dollars the school is kicking in to keep the football program afloat at FBS-level is worth it. It really hasn't been for these schools. Keep the money for academics and quit tilting at the football windmills. No shame in having a competitive FCS program. One will have its QB drafted in the first round this year. Can't blame them for the drop down. If they win more games, it'll be better for their fan bases.

  28. This guy gets it. It was interesting to see North Dakota Fans in Dallas having a good time before their team played for the FCS national championship in Frisco. We may see Idaho fans back in this area sometime in the future, but that's some highly competitive football where they'll be playing.

  29. I feel bad for the Idaho fans out there. I think they are simply a victim of location and population in this new age of FBS football. They are just too far from their only possible FBS option (the Sunbelt), and they haven't generated enough support while playing second fiddle to Boise State for the past decade. I see an ESPN "30 for 30" coming.

  31. You could have made that claim about Fouts. But there is no way there is any FCS stadium close to Apogee. Take a look at what are considered the best FCS stadiums today: App State's Kidd Brewer Montana's Washington-Grizzly NDSU's FargoDome Apogee is miles ahead of them.

  32. Please show me one recent post where I have said how great we will be this fall. Just one. While you are at it, please show me one where I accept us losing? Again, just one. While you are at it, show me a recent one were I have stated that it isn't time for RV to go.

  37. The surprise this year is they started out as well as they did. Horrible CUSA record is what you would expect when all but 4 of last years team left the program. I don't know what happened last year but there were definitely severe problems that may or may not still exist. Anyone who thinks that kind of exodus was not because of the coaching staff, is delusional. I hope this years collapse is due to inexperience and not some type of reoccurrence of whatever happened last year. With RV you never know, but a competent AD would certainly be closely watching this team.

  39. The ability to host the satellite camps where we're targeting is absolutely good for UNT. The only thing not good for UNT is that other schools can come around and have a camp. In that case, it's up to our coaches to out-recruit those other schools for these guys. That's where Trice screaming about UNT becoming "the U" of DFW could use some stoking and trumping up by Littrell & co. The guys LATech and UNT are after in DeSoto will have opportunities to attend each camp (unless LATech is dumb enough to have theirs on the same day/s as UNT). It's up to our coaches to wow the players and sell them on their vision for UNT over Skip's vision for LATech.

  42. No not related in any way shape or form. I've posted about many other things on this board, Shanbour being the most recent topic of discussion. I think the staff and media crowned Morris early. Everyone assumed he was the guy and will be the guy. I'm not so convinced. I just think Shanbour is a better fit. If you would like I can talk about how inept RV is and how much of a failure North Texas athletics has been for the past 15 years. Just trying to have engaging offseason conversation

  43. Ok here is why I give the edge to Morris at this time. This has nothing to do about who will win more games, or who is better, or who has more experience. Nothing to do with size. I'm ok running Fine out there at 180 *if* he can play. Cause we don't know. This is about ability and what I've seen only in practice. Shanbour's got game in the intermediate range, and can pick a zone apart. Morris is on par, but has better placement, but I need to see more of Shanbour to be certain. Their throws are different, but they get the job done. Shanbour also has the added dimension in the run game. Morris has suddenness and works the pocket very well to extend a play, but can only run in a straight line and is not as quick or fast. Morris can throw on the run (to the right) with good form. Shanbour has shown he has that ability. Morris has more anticipation on comeback routes, and 1-on-1 matchups. He does, however, misread the 1-on-1 too quickly sometimes and bails. Needs to trust his receivers more and sling it. Shanbour is more of a gunslinger (I like gunslingers). I need to see more from Shanbour in the deep range (Morris has better touch and placement on the outside), and I need to see way better accuracy and touch from Shanbour in the short range. We are going to be passing to our backs out of the backfield plenty, and to TEs out of wheel routes/flats (there are other h-back routes, but i'm talking short range stuff). RBs and TEs were having to make adjustments to Shanbour's passes, losing momentum or dropping the pass. He has to improve this facet due to the fact that it is apparent that we will need him to execute this many times a game. Morris is better than him in this phase of the game. In the end I need to see more out of Shanbour outside the hashes, work the pocket more and step up, and I need to see him improve passes over the RBs shoulder. If we go Shanbour, or if we go Morris, playcalling will be different. Shanbour had several designed runs called up for him. I think Morris had 0. The willingness for coaches to dial up plays based on their players' respective abilities excites me.
