[****OFFICIAL CAL va. UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***]

Coach Morris has instituted the "Todd Dodge defense".  Bold move, coach.

If we could tackle we would have a shutout. 

[UNT Football shared their facilities this week...]

Perhaps if a UF player wants to transfer in the future, he might give UNT a closer look. 

[ESPN: North Texas in Tier 11 in ranking of all FBS teams]

From the article:

Bill Connelly's SP+ rankings have North Texas ranked just behind Rutgers and just ahead of Liberty, which feels both way off and possibly accurate. It's hard to know what to expect from this team, which took UTSA and Boise State to the wire last year, beat Western Kentucky and topped 30 points eight times. But the Mean Green also were blown out by SMU, UNLV and UAB. They'll open the season with Stone Earle at QB, though, and it's destiny for North Texas to have a QB1 who sounds like he leads a killer blues band on his off days.

That's actually a nice balanced conference all across the country.  Coast to coast TV. 

It's the best random map he has done so far.   Too bad he isn't a real media source.

 

I like that conference.   The western half would be a tough battle.  However, I don't trust anything the OS_Beaver account says.

So let me get this straight.

If UNT had the financial resources to do something like this to be associated with elite institutions such as Stanford, CAL, Duke, Wake, UVA, UNC, BC, et al......  you wouldn't support it?

SMU is doing the exact same thing that others have done in realignment.   Use your advantages to leverage your way up the ladder.  

Maybe ... and if we did, you would be at the front of the line making fun of UNT.

But how?  Would a network gives the conference more money for SMU? 

[Looks like ACC about to add SMUt Cal and Stanford]

Why is the ACC interested in SMU for any reason?

Now I'm very worried about the defense. :(

@Arkstfan - It's always great to get your insight into these topics.

Oregon State may be committed, but I'm not sure the other three schools are.

The beaver man is wild. Shoutout for the dedication to making the 25+ different conference variation graphics. 

If he makes enough variations, eventually one will be correct and he can claim victory. 

[BREAKING]

He thinks three MWC teams will pay $34M each to join?  Really? 

I do like the conference, though. 

[PAC 12 Realignment Talk Mega Thread (All 12 threads merged)]

If MWC teams won't leave for PAC due to high fees of leaving the conference, why would they make the same move to the AAC?   I don't see any MWC teams leaving the conference.

Usually the last two people out the door are the IT guy who shuts everything down and the financial guy who pays the last bills.

Cal/Stan are already a long shot to the ACC, where is the money going to come from for them to join? IIRC ESPN controls the ACC, why would they shell out another $40-60M a year if they didn't already want to pay the PAC those numbers? 

I agree.  Plus, many teams in the ACC are already yelping about wanting more money.  They don't want to split the pie anymore.

I never imagined the Big 12would outlive the Pac 12 or whatever they're called.  

[BREAKING NEWS: New UNT Stadium Naming Rights Sponsor]

Just finished watching the press conference.  Weird that there's absolutely no mention of money or any compensation.  

[DCTF partners with UNT for Friday night HS scoreboard show]

After watching the video, it looks like a terrific opportunity for UNT students to work with the show. 

[Hoodie Sale at Dick's]

I just received this hoodie and it's really nice looking.  I ordered a large and it maybe runs a little large but feels nice.  It'll be nice to have this fall when the weather gets cold again. 

[Hoodie Sale at Dick's]

That looks good.  I just ordered one.  Note that there's an additional $11 to the price for shipping and tax. 

[The Football Stadium on Bonnie Brae]

I think I found a clue that DATCU will be the new stadium sponsor:  savings rate of .5%.  Yep, they are saving money for their stadium deal.  
 

Honestly, that’s a horrible rate at this time.  

[Cal opens as a 7-point favorite at UNT]

First game of the season is when upsets can happen.  We need to be prepared against that.  :) 

[UNT hitting Tulsa hard]

"North Texas University" ?  

There was no "State" so that's an improvement.

On that note. Absolutely loved the new uniforms Oklahoma St announced yesterday. Clean look with a good mix of modern/classic 

https://pistolsfiringblog.com/photos-look-at-oklahoma-states-new-football-jerseys/

I don't like it when orange is the main color of the jersey or pants.  The others look good with white or black as the main color.
