Great idea. I feel like many teams settle for being 6-6 . 7 wins should be mandatory, it will make the bowl season better.

It can't be that hard to see, is it? Potential is just that. Potential. You can potentially succeed, or fail miserably. The posters here may not like it but potential means nothing if you can't make something of it. Look at the teams that get talked about for consideration, they stand on their own merits not on what could be. Their success lives outside of the conference they are in, meaning they don't rely on their conference to succeed. If we have so many students and alumni, why is the stadium not full? We don't have excuses to make, games should all be sold out and the university isn't doing enough to exploit our potential. Show that you can stand on your own two feet and we will get somewhere bigger and better.

I'm tired of people on here complaining about students not caring about athletics. They go to The University of North Texas. UNIVERSITY. Every student's first priority should be about their school work and their future careers. Football is not the main reason they are here, or basketball, etc. I'm not talking about the people who say they wish the students would support the team, because I wish that too. I am talking about the people who say the students don't support the football team hate the school or do a disservice to the university. Its a ridiculous statement. Support should not be a tyrannical requirement. Better yet, lead by example and show them how its done. People will come around more that way than bashing them and calling them less for not going.

In part because they are trying to boost enrollment to 45k students. As we do that we plan on building the staff quality and numbers and then raise admission standards to try and try to be seen as a more prestigious college to get in to. Atleast thats what I got from their Tier 1 overview.

I live in LA, so I'll be at some of the games. Not sure, maybe the last two.

Improve shooting and ball control and we will be much more competitive. I hope Coach Jones is drilling them in practice about those two things.

Darn, the feed is gone now

Possible outcome. However, the CUSA contract pays for a Champ. game, the would have to re-negotiate that and possibly lose revenue. Their network will have to share the game with the Mtn. and I could see a problem there. Not saying its a deal breaker but some consideration. Also with 2 leaving the MWC they will have 8 sports members, and 7 for Olympic sports. I can't imagine they would want to stay at 7, so I see 1 all sports like Utah State, or a non-football team being added. On an added note, if the teams stay and the alliance goes through, the MWC will have to go to 12 to match CUSA. Meaning they take two from the WAC, or us with one from the WAC in a best case scenario. Either way that leaves the WAC ripe for a raid. The SBC should expand at that point.

Bad shooting, and bad passes did us in. We only hit 1 three. Still managed to hang in and had a shot. These guys need more experience and coaching, and we can be better. Also everyone but Jones needs to work on free throws.

You have every right to post whatever you want, and your opinion on any board. I, however, have that same right to criticize your posts which in my opinion are completely embarrassing. People don't like what you post and then you start tearing down schools that have achieved more than we have? Yeah, great argument. Lets show them our top BCS rankings, or our Rose Bowl win vs. Wisconsin. Oh wait, we don't have one Talking smack about a team that has done more than us, yeah and you wonder why they are putting you down? Even putting down SDSU, who has been ranked and seeded in the NCAA Tournament? Pathetic. And for someone saying message boards shouldn't be taken serious, you are saying TCU doesn't want us to take their place in the MWC. Based on what? Did you do a gallup poll? Or are you just basing that on ... wait for it.... a message board???? Great logic there.

The thing is your giving them ammo. No they don't make the decisions, but there is nothing good that can come from talking about our school in that way. IMO you should never go to another conference board and bash anyone, even if they bash you. Your a guest there, show humility and people will eventually come around and be courteous. Your just adding fuel to the fire.

Is that you posting as MeangreenGem over there? Whoever that is, please stop. Your an embarrassment to the fan base and making us a laughing stock over there.

The MWC has more recognized state flagship schools. They will have good support by being the main state's schools. New Mexico Wyoming Nevada Hawaii Colorado State is the second state school. Same with Utah State if its added. Their fans do seem like a bunch of douchebags though.

I've been trying to get a good look at the new Unis. Any highlights of the game? Did we just keep the same design? They look almost identical to last years?

I heard the radio guys saying there were tons of people tailgating that didn't go in. Is that true?

any attendance numbers?

Great win, lets keep it going. With that lets not jump the gun. We have to keep the good lessons we learned consistent, and not regress next week.

If SMU stays we will most likely be shut out of CUSA and its alliance. Unless the MWC has to have the equal amount of teams and has to go to 12, in which case they might add, Utah St and SJSU. So what was that about SMU not going to BE was better for us?

Its a last ditch effort to keep UCF, ECU, SMU, Houston, AFA, and Boise from going to the BE. Pretty clear.

SMU moving would be the best for us. Leaving a hole in CUSA and it may cause other movement in the MWC. Also we have a series signed with them, nothing like bringing in a BE school to play at Apogee in the future. Besides its not like we have a chance at that spot so why should we care? Of we move up we will do it with our own merits, not by hoping other schools don't get the lucky break. Or do you not have faith we can build the program?

So no one thinks this is a bad idea? Alright everyone just wear green to the games, but don't forget about the green out, thats a special day where everyone must wear green. I like the -1, and how this board works. If I don't agree with your opinion , you deserve negative feedback. Well I'm calling you out, why don't you actually show your face and have a conversation about why my idea is bad? Like I said when I first joined, I hate how this board can never have an depth conversation. All the threads turn into childish jokes. Its easy, if you don't like a topic, or it doesn't interest you, don't reply. I don't mean that in a "stay the hell out" way, I always try to be friendly and don't understand why people go out of their way to post in threads they don't like. :shrugs shoulders:

Good points both, but my point is if your going to make a game night a special event make it something different. Drop the green out and make a campaign so that you tell everyone to wear green to every game. A white out would be a special event to get people excited and show up, with years it would become a great tradition. We have a limited number of home games, lets not waste one with something we are already supposed to do.

If I saw correctly last week's game was a green out? Should't we always wear green in the stands for home games? I would much rather have a white out game, ala Penn State

quote name='NT80' timestamp='1318040599' post='595629'] They were concerned about the color fading, as Smut's has. Also, I heard seatbacks require the rows to be spaced further apart if spaced like Fouts. Now, our new rows seem to already have more legroom so not sure if they could be added later.

My mistake. I don't know why but for some reason I thought it was all seats
