Kudos to the University for putting this together... The price seems high (especially for two), but using Kayak/Hotwire/Expedia can escape some folks.  Hope they continue to organize these sort of travel packages.  Maybe with time the package costs will track closer to the Average Joe's cost of booking. 

Anyone know what hotel the team hotel is?  I probably won't get there early enough for a Friday night event, but just in case.  I'd might just change my reservation there anyways.

I thought it was a little high also, but it really isn’t too bad. A quick google flights search shows that if you don’t want to fly Spirit, flights will be around 450-500. Hotel is going to run 300-400. Game tickets 35. And this includes transport to and from both the Oakland airport and the game, which you have to figure is worth a minimum of 100, probably up to 200 if you were doing taxi/Uber/shuttles. 

So it isn’t a bargain per se, but not too far out of range. Plus you have to figure there is going to be pretty good access to AD officials. Also some people don’t want to deal with arrangements and this provides everything for a good experience. 

(Now if they are booking everyone on Spirit then all my above praise is canceled.)

Not sure if he will without a championship or bowl win.

 

But Mason Fine will be in there. Probably Bussey too. 

[‘20 QB Austin Renfro - Stephenville]

I believe when he committed he was an 84. Now it shows 86.

This list him as class of 20, but he is class of 21.  I do not think we will hear a commitment from him for a while.. Atleast looking at the 247 link above shows him as 21.

Good catch. I will amend the title.

Weren't they getting Oklahoma State & Arizona to come play at their rental stadium at one point? Looks like they are now falling into whoring status. The new car smell of the program has worn off. 

I think they did a bunch of 2 for 1 series to do that. This is the consequence.

“Like us”?  

USM’s QB was #1 in D1 with a .731 completion percentage. Mason was .646.

Mason is a BETTER QB but in most modern offenses, accuracy is a strong indication of success. They didn’t score against us much last year (7) but their QB had 318 yrds and that one TD was to Watkins for 44 yrds. Watkins returns.

And they held us to “only” 30 points - which is pretty decent but below our season average. 

Let’s see how the season plays out because our Defense will need to grow up fast before we meet up again. We play them on the road the week after Houston. We lost most of our playmakers on D.

I have them as the West favorite, for the above reasons. But I do absolutely believe we can beat them. I do wish it was a little later in the season.

I can definitely find a place for us to watch games. Need to know folks  are going to interested. 

I head out overseas again for three years next week, so I am out. But there are always NT grads around. I think they might still do the Washington internship program as well.

And, like us, a very accurate QB.

I respect that. Like my prophet Biggie said “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.”  Also keep your family and your money completely separated. Money and blood don’t mix like 2 dicks and no bitch.”

“Mean Green return most of their key players from a team that finished 9-4 after ending the regular season in a three-way tie for second in the West Division in 2018.”

Lost 6 on Defense but most key players return? I guess only offense counts.

crazy to think had Guyton stuck around there would have been 2 WR from UNT on that list.

Not to speak for him, but I took it to mean that Graham Harrell isn't exactly a pioneer of the Air Raid.  Maybe Mike Leach's Air Raid run by Graham Harrell.

Anyway, very cool to see UNT getting all of this preseason love.  Just think how awesome it will be to get this much attention in the post season!

Harrell wasn’t even a friggin OC or even QB coach when hired here. Of course it wasn’t his offense. Ridiculous that he gets so much credit for Fine. Yes, he certainly had an impact on Fine’s development and we can thank him. But he isn’t the magic behind tiny little Fine’s successful career.

 

For those in the media that don’t know shit about UNT:

FIne is an amazing talent that would succeed anywhere! He has a heart as big as his arm.
