It frustrating - we gave them that game and it took away a dream season for us.  Dammit!  I’m trying to get over it I promise... just takes time

You and the team too. I hope the team gets over it faster, because they were clearly suffering from that loss against UTEP.

Does Southern Miss have any future NFL D-Ends? That seems to be the recipe for beating us.

[DRC: UNT releases nonconference hoops slate]

Maybe they messed up, maybe they didn't. Run off an 8-0 start, beat Oklahoma on the road, then get press. Seems we've done this recently with another sport.

[It feels different now]

It's not the first loss that is the bummer, it's losing control of your own destiny in coference.

Don't remove the wing.  Ever.  It is iconic, and is adding to UNT tradition.  It is a billboard for UNT athletics in media and for people who pass it on I35.

This guy gets it.

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere. Good story. Enjoyed this.

We already had a trap game and did fine. We mauled SMU and then played Incarnate Word. We'll be ready. Doesn't mean it will be easy or guarantee a win, but we'll be ready.

Wow... I'm super busy at work today. Took a minute to listen to this interview between Rome and Seth Littrell. God I hope Seth Littrell loves Denton in UNT. It will be a true shame if we lose this gentleman. We couldn't have a better football coach. Maybe Hayden fry. I'm too young to know the old old coaches.

What a great job our AD and President did by advancing Seth Littrell's career.

I pray everyday we can keep this man as head coach. For like years and years, his whole career. Being a G5 school though, scares the heck out of me. The NCAA and the P5 schools use UNT and schools like us to poach coaches. Sad to say.

All schools poach other schools coaches with money if they're good, (see Jimbo Fisher from FL. ST. to ATM).

Just win and hire well again.

I can tell you leadership does not agree, I've seen the plans.

The University rents out the SP, they hate having to give up dates for BB events.  The athletic department hates not having control of the venue, thinks it's the wrong size, lacks amenities, and wants to combine vb and bb practice space.

New arena is down the list, but it's way ahead of apogee expansion or even a baseball program.

It's comments like this that make me finally believe in the leadership and therefore the future. The way up the food chain is not with a new sport added (baseball) it's investment in the only two sports that matter to the bottom line.

[One Thing I Liked I Haven't Seen Mentioned]

Little late to this since the game was 6 days ago but...

I really liked how for a big game where we should have had a chip on our shoulder, we didn't come out throwing punches, getting into shoving matches, talking trash like we've done in the past right before getting whipped. We actually came out like we were better and just destroyed them, like we didn't even care who they were

[It may be time to look into expanding Apogee]

I'm definitely in the lets wait until this thing has 15,00 season tickets and you can't get tickets to a game camp, I had another question.

Why are we concerned if there are enough seats for some others schools fans to sit in? I don't think other colleges are building stadiums big enough to be overrun by the opposing teams t-shirt fans once a year.

I'm guessing the answer is so we can host them, but I don't think the reason we can't host them is because there aren't enough empty seats for their fans is it really? Seems weird.

Im done with you people. UNT is pretty darn small compared to A&M and UT and I meant small as in small in sports. AKA how relevant they are to the college sports world. And also Its a great game. Its not the greatest game ever played like yall think it is. 

Good grief. We need as many fans as we can get. Not sure why everyone is attacking this young fan just for saying obvious things.

Once in awhile I'd get a stutter but I never had any serious problems other than occasional drops in resolution. But so far ESPN+ has been like watching MLB.tv except without MLB.tv's 60fps, the 60fps is just beautiful

I've got a new Sony LED TV, and I find the MLS games have stutter in them on ESPN+ (through the Android TV). Don't have the same issue with the Roku on another TV, but was told the reason was because ESPN uses an older codec and OLED technology can account for it, while an LED cannot. SO for me at least, I've found ESPN+ to be disappointing./annoying.
