All About UNT

100 yd punt by Atterberry through the uprights for a FG.

It would appear that the NCAA will still be making a decision on whether or not the 30% will suffice. Either way... you bring in a very limited experience backup and have him play against 4 teams of which they will will one (Austin Peay). I don't wish this on any team and the fans must be really disappointed. Honestly they are in danger of being 2-6 by the time they play us (I will give them ULM and Austin Peay). The Troy game being his first one back will not be easy esp with him out the first 4 games. Ark St. will not roll over on them either as they are placed 3rd in the Belt by quite a few folks (pre-Dasher suspension polls).

but that was back in 2007 and everyone was doing it......right? I mean....right?

Don't know why we are arguing this guys...they have less than 1/3 the students we have. They also live in a town of just over 20,000 people. The closest town worthy of mention is Monroe at just over 30 miles away...with it's own school in the city. If ULM can't make a metro of over 270k popular..then how the heck will Ruston have any sort of media market whatsoever??? Yes...UNT's Football team is slumping right now...but I still wouldn't trade our potential future for your future. Lets take a look at the cities that have existing CUSA teams within them. I have to use 2000 Census Results in most cases UCF- Orlando (over 2 million people in the metro) Marshall- Huntington WV (a 285k Metro) Rice- Houston Tx (almost 6 million metro) SMU- Dallas (over 6 million metro) UTEP- El Paso (751k metro) Tulsa- in.......Tulsa (almost 1 million people in metro) ECU- Greenville SC (183k in metro) Houston- in Houston...derr....same stats as above Tulane- New Orleans (1.2 million metro) USM- Hattiesburg Miss. (148k metro) Memphis- in Memphis TN (1.2 million metro) UAB- Birmingham AL (1.2 million metro) Now lets see what Ruston is working with.............oh......................oh dear..................man that sux. So you take Ruston's 20k (does this include the 10k students?) and give them absolutely positively nothing to do on the weekends............next thing you know.....they are showing up to every football game. Now take our situation.....we have barely begun to tap into the school spirit potential we could have in the metro alone and still have the same amount showing up to our games as "LA Tech's extremely loyal fan base". What does that tell you? LA Tech has peaked....that stadium...if ever replaced at all will never be the quality of stadium that we are currently raising. The state is poor and the CUSA knows this. They aren't trying to get into the 87k graduates of LA Tech's pockets....but maybe the 175k alumni of UNT with over 100k of them in our metro alone would make more sense?????? Kinda a no brainer. Now I am not saying we are a shoe-in for any expansion by the conference.....but Ruston will not be able to tout the "but we were in the WAC" card...or the "but we have 17k in the stands" argument that they currently spout out. If we get beat out....it will not be by this school. GMG

With the advent of Social Media becoming evermore common....and an obvious increase in fan base of the team and our school....you shouldn't have a prob reestablishing a decent crew of Alum in the area. Start a Facebook page for Houston Alum....then if you really wanna help out look for Alum in your area through the browse filter and send invites to as many as you can. It starts there and the worst you can say in the end is that you tried. Best of luck! GMG!

Doing my part

I love the clown who tries to state that our attendance is less than theirs. As of 2008 it was by like 600 people a game....and to think that the new stadium won't push that number up by 15% (at least) is just plain outright returded. Where is that link for 2009 attendance stats again??

Here Here...Congrats Nathan!

Sounds like Tune is playing his heart out today.....this will be a very tough decision for TD to make.

Because Seeing is Believing Mansfield's new Stadium vs.. Bobcat Stadium

If Thompson isn't for sure in the lead...then obviously Tune in that he has experience. What I can say is that never have I felt more comfortable with our backup QB situation if either of them start and then get injured.

From the cheapest man alive (myself) I must also agree with Quoner....

Tasty....for you Clemson Tigress Fans....is the one we send in to go toe-to-toe with anyone and everyone worthy of butting heads with. Though I sure would like to see you go into SMUt's Bball forum and handle that homer of a fan by the name of PonyDoh. All in good fun...hope this game is everything both team's fans have been waiting on.

My next door neighbor growing up is Mike Kunstadt....great guy. I need to see what his thoughts are on this sesson's potential recruitment class.

I am not sure...but I see a disparity between the numbers published on MGB in relation to this morning's kicking success vs. what Rivals reported.

11 for 12 in Kicking??? That's GREAT NEWS! So what did they do differently that produced these results?

MTSU Board Either way...I am convinced that their team starts the season with a giant issue on their plate. Whether or not he is guilty/punishable is not the question...but moreso..how will this news affect the entire team's performance? If this were a home game for us I was thinking signs...but that would be classless. Thoughts?

CBL...did you cut and paste from the last Tiger fan's post? LOL

Great idea...Fox and the Hound is a perfect merger spot for the two.

Prob my favorite one so far....and have to say....I get excited watching the D pick the ball like they are in the video.

Someone explain to me how the kid is banging out 40 yarders like noone's business in the camps....truly making a name for himself....but gets onto the practice fields and chokes potentially worse than Knott? I'm mean no offense to him...I just can't see how the transformation can be that changing in your stats. Remember this guy?? Texas Tech's Matt Williams Maybe they have the right idea..... who has got some rent money for our next kicker?

Rivals Rankings 2010 Ranked at 102 (just under LA Tech) Teams of interest that we are ahead of: Rice UNLV Colorado State New Mexico (what happened there?) UAB ULL Memphis FIU ULM San Jose State Teams in SBC ahead of us: 100.) Ark St 81.) FAU 74.) Troy 70.) MUTS Teams OOC That We Play in 2010: 106.) Rice = All else considered...this game just became a must win 95.) Army = Only 7 Away from us 83.) KSU = GREAT TO SEE! 37.) Clemson = Sure to Upset Tiger Fans and bringing up the bottom at 120.............................drumroll..................................................none other than WKU! (Insert shock and awe emoticons here)

Mine as well...I almost wish we could have got a JUCO Kicker in order to fill in while he continues to develop. I can't help but to think that missed FGs will bite us again this year and potentially cost some games.

You bring a very valid point...that will end this year

This bar would be the ever smokey Spirit Grille in Irving (Northgate and MacArthur). They have crappy TVs...for watching purposes I should mention to you Irvingites that the Buffalo Wild Wings on 635 will show UNT games...I watched the Bama game there last year.
