97 and still kicking it. Pictured with Craig Way here.

"Decommits and commits to Texas St". Lord have mercy! Lose a top commit to Texas State-San Marcos. What did I tell you guys about Coach Kinn?

Great write-up. Thank you. Saw this statistic on Twitter: Adeyi and Maclin are killing it. Going to need both to break some tackles and steal some yards this Saturday against Tulane.

Thanks @UNTLifer -- that is helpful ... but disappointing info. We had some GREAT memories taking the kiddos to the homecoming parade each year back in the day, them loading up on candy pre-Halloween, etc. In fact, we had so much fun we started inviting non-UNT family friends who brought their kids as well, we all ate at various restaurants in the Denton town square pre-or post parade ($$$ for local merchants) and now my oldest is going to UNT as he enjoyed the games and parades so much he has fond memories of the place. Wonder how many possible future students and lost $$ to local businesses they are forfeiting with this stupid policy? But, y'know, sustainability. 😞 🤢

I was just watching today's press conference, and there was a lot of praise for our new kicker Noah Rauschenberg (Brett must be working up an article on him, thus all the questions about him). It just got me to thinking how we got him from Baylor and Jake Roberts went to Baylor, so it worked out almost like an NFL-style trade. Normally kickers aren't that high priority, but Coach Morris was talking about how valuable it is to have a kicker you can have confidence in from 55 yards. And I'm not sure how big of a role Jake Roberts would be playing in our new offense anyway. So what say you--good trade?

Excellent trade. An elite kicker can be a real game changer and we have one of the best.

You forgot to "cc". president@unt.edu I am retired from a State Agency. I learned a long time ago, to get the e-mail address of someone's boss when I wanted to make sure that I didn't get ignored or didn't want boilerplate responses.

My daughter is at UNT and she has not said anything about protests or anything, I might ask her next time I chat with her. Seems to be more located at the Ivy Leagues and Liberal Arts schools.

The hornets will be stirred, so I’ll get in before the inevitable lock. I don’t know about UNT but there have been no protests on either side at my daughter’s college. Not sure they’re as widespread as represented in the media.

Early HS commits? Might be a waste of time.

Everyone should email the school. One squeaky wheel can be ignored. Hundreds are more difficult.

So our schedule currently has: The NCAA TOp 10 team x2 NIT runner up 4 others receiving votes (MEM, St Johns, MSST, Boise) A top tier A10 team (fordham) Potential for Dayton/LSU, and Houston Not too bad

Puts some perspective on Darden's monstrous 2020 run. Maclin has 8 TDs throught he first 6 games. Darden had 11.

I’m going to require you to kindly delete this username as you sir are no Green Lantern. My Ray upvotes will prove this to you beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Here is the email I just sent Christa, I was given your contact information to ask about the Homecoming Parade. I am an alumnus with 2 degrees from UNT. My wife and I always enjoyed going to the HC parade, and were disappointed when it was cancelled….in part, we were told, to Covid. I can get that. Now I being told that it is because of the lack of participation, too much clean-up, and environmental issues. That, I do not understand. Universities across the country have HC parades. How do they avoid these issues? Clean up is not a valid excuse. Regarding participation, I will agree the crowd has shrunk over the years. I would put that on the University about promoting the event, not only to students, alumni, but the surrounding community. The economic impact is surely a hit for business on the square. Get creative. Have the Greek community compete for prime spots on the route with competition….do something. Those of us who donate to the University and athletic department were not consulted on this decision. UNT refuse to do the things that make other Universities stand out as the standard. UNT needs to be part of that standard. Can you please explain why we are not having a parade? Not a boiler plate answer, a real explanation as to what factors lead to the decision. Who is the person that we need to reach out to regarding this? Please help those of us who want this understand. Thank you, Steven King

Hurray for Bill! Everyone with an interest in NT broadcasting history should read Bill's book "Play by Play." He also was one of the authors of "When the news went live: Dallas 1963" about the coverage of the Kennedy assassination. Look at that famous picture of all the reporters lined up when the Dallas police brought out Oswald for a midnight press conference - there's Bill on the front row!

The cherry on top is that the Dia de los Muertos festival has a parade with floats but UNT homecoming occurring on the same day in the same city won't have one due to "sustainability."

There are some really useless staff in the North Texas admin that need to go away. Not understanding or implementing the parade just shows how bad it is. Same with the cannon and many other things.

Me + 1 Unt allotment is almost sold out

Would probably be the single best offer list we've ever seen on a commit. Not gonna happen, but obviously would love to be proven wrong.

Big game against ranked opponent UNT 38 Tulane 31

Who is partying in New Orleans this weekend? I know Me plus at least 4 in our group.

But, what is the mood on campus re. the tragedy in Isreal? Any protests or show of support either way? Seeing what's going on around the country at other college campuses, I'm wondering if our students are engaged.

Is this a real question? The University of North Texas or Texas State-San Marcos? Yeah, I can certainly question his judgement.

Derek Football has two sons just 12-16 years from college. I hope we're starting to recruit them soon.

Tech - recent years Baylor Kansas Houston Gonzaga Arizona Kansas State-recent Not a bad potential top 7 for basketball. Cincy and OKst are historically good, and TCU is on the rise. Best basketball conference?

deleted it.

Are you sure that person wants his identity publicly revealed?

Thank you in advance for your hospitality. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is an excellent guide on how to end up back at your hotel room short of any cash and other valuables you left with. That said, seeing as how you're only looking out for visitors, I'm sure this is all safe to follow. Considering how friendly the locals appear to be, particularly after midnight, would you mind suggesting how much cash to carry? I wouldn't want to misrepresent where I come from by not having enough on me. Thanks!

I can tell you there has never been the political level of what's going on at the Ivies, or even UT (UT has a gigantic jewish community, and a huge palestinian org) . We had some small protestors protest some Israeli speakers, but nothing like you saw at Berkley, NYU, Columbia, or yes, UT. And I was at UNT during Operation Cast Lead in 2008 There was the one-off small protest near the Union. And maybe 3-5 articles focused on Palestinians. But nothing where Jews feared for their lives. More apathy than anything. Honestly I fear that Jews in Europe/Latin America will get the brunt of retribution when it comes to antisemitic attacks once Israel launches the planned ground invasion. And I really fear that 1 million Palestinians are going to be completely displaced because of this

I noticed the day of the dead produces only the scented smell of pine wood boxes. Wait, they cut down trees? GMG

Bill Mercer is the first person I associated with North Texas. When I watched the occasional game as a kid in the 1970s, I recognized him from the Saturday Night Wrestling broadcasts on Channel 11. One of the all-time greats in DFW sports broadcasting and a well-deserved inductee into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.

Looking forward to seeing who plays Bill in the upcoming movie about the Von Ericks, The Iron Claw.

The best!!

It’s the “who to”, not the why.

What email did you send it to? I will participate in this quest

How many of you currently know an 18 or 17-year-old boy? They change their minds more often than a butterfly changes directions! He could have a girlfriend now that is going to SWTSU. He could have buddies that want him to join them there. There are any number of reasons completely unrelated to football that can and do cause people to change what school they plan to attend.

How is this possible? Did we lose our receipt????

Great Interview! I’m getting very excited about this upcoming season!

Has the Homecoming parade gone the way of the dodo bird?! I get it during the Covid year, but does anyone know why there are no more parades?!

After dismal play early in the season and a campaign of terror by my better half, I was roped into another event instead of going to New Orleans. I hope someone drinks their weight in Purple Drink at Lafitte's for me.

115 is the visitors section, at least that is where my ticket is

North Texas 34 - Tulane 30 Tulane has had to come from behind by double digit deficits in the past two games against UAB and Memphis. They also allow 249.8 passing yards per game, ranked 100 in college football per the NCAA website, however, they've only allowed 7 passing TDs. Statistically somewhat of a bend don't break defense where their run defense clamping down having allowed only 4 rushing TDs all year. UAB and Memphis both struggled in the second half with Memphis having scored 21 by the 10 minute mark of the 3rd and being shut out the rest of the way and UAB scoring 20 in the first half and 3 in the 2nd half. We'll need to counter whatever second half adjustments Tulane makes because that's where their games have been won.

You guys are reading the thread in hindsight. The people are posting in real time. There will always be a big disconnect from post game highs (or lows). The discussion thread is a play by play that will see each play as raw as it is. Should posters predict the future? Or wait until after the game to post? Or just have fun posting good or bad about the game?

I believe that FIU will be the one that no matter how hard I try, I can't figure out how we lost to that team
