Right off the bat we play #98, 60, 63 and the winner of 47 vs 69. Big opportunity in non conference to assert ourselves and not have to pray for a bid at the end of the year.

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.

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

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

Or just string together years of 10-2 seasons mixed with wins over big time teams

We're missing UTA on there too. Optimist in me says we're a tough team to schedule RPI - wise? or maybe Jared is playing hardball about getting us another good home game?

when i tweeted jared a few weeks back he said they were still finalizing 2. I guess Northern Iowa was one. Curious on the second

With all the construction and new buildings going on around UNT , I feel like there should be an updated list

So most of the non con games are on the schedule. They did say 11.6.2023 in the promo.... maybe that's the last game they are finalizing?

if it was a big name my bet is that they want a 2 for 1 you're probably right on UTA - they havent released their schedule either

been waiting with bated breath over here. Jared had said they are finalizing contracts with two more folks and I'm super curious as to who it might be. Just ready for the season to get here.

yep. believe there was a similar situation of sorts in 2013 when we ripped off a 5 game winning streak to open CUSA play

I mean it would've been nice had they played their best at FIU too

My only complaint is that we have a habit of embarrassing ourselves (football) when we play for a national audience (Arkansas aside). See: the past 6 bowl games other than last year's Cal this year SMU and UTSA last year (CBSSN) Marshall in 2021 (CBSSN) Charlotte and SMU in 2020 (ESPNU and CBSSN) Houston in 2019 (CBSSN) Any national game in 2015 LATech (CBSSN) and UTEP (FSN) in 2014

I admire your commitment to this bit

It will be interesting to see an overall comparison between him and the other new HC hire in Texas, GJ Kinne over the next few years. clearly Kinne started off with a bang- 4-1 with a win over baylor im a little concerned with only a 14 pt win over a mediocre fcs team. I’m also willing to give it a year. Just cause you start off with a bang doesn’t mean you can sustain it. Good program builders take time

Which one? I need one for the cowboys game tomorrow lol

Some interesting notes in there. Army has some games scheduled that could get cancelled when they move to the AAC. Maybe there could be some interesting schools (Coastal Carolina? Air Force? Tulsa? Syracuse? Boston College?) looking to fill a 2028 slot who might want a home and home with us?

FYI- Jared said they were finalizing 2 more games on the schedule, so hopefuly it'll get released soon.

i remember everyone talking about this but i always wonder if these interviews are just practice for a guy like him

That 2030 non con is niceee home with a regional opponent (txst) and power five road with a mid road sec team (mizzou) and a good G5 (Wyoming)

Cant say he didn't try.

Ryan was a good dude. Did a lot for the department. Always good when the people that come here move up.

you clearly did not read all the way to the bottom
