Seems like we are losing to lots of teams with poor records.What is more important is, are these teams gunning for us? I believe motivation and momentum play a key part of the any sport. So do these teams see our record and come out extra motivated to play us? I know for sure SHSU did. Raised their championship banners and made this their marquee OOC game. Or do we just struggle on the road?

I was really upset that the Law School will be UNT at Dallas School of Law. In the future can this be changed to be tied to the main campus?

That was a big key to why we lost. Odufawa had 7 or 8 points missed IIRC. Thats the ball game right there.

I heard an interview about him talking about the whole Cam Newton scandal. He said he thought it was silly and he wanted to urge kids to go play for the Mavs straight out of High School and he would set them up at a school to get an education. I'm paraphrasing here "The kids would get a guaranteed amount of money and we would set them up at North Texas so they can get a college degree." So at least he thought of us first and not the closer SMU. I guess thats a good thing

re-branding and marketing purposes. New sponsor, new coach, new stadium, etc. we have a new start and can go in a different direction. Its a good time to create a new culture and identity. My main reason for presenting those was no one like the current "North Texas" script on the helmet. I was just throwing out some ideas of something else we could do just for fun. Don't blow a fuse, its not like I'm officially unveiling logo designs

Its time for a new logo. Nike does a great job of marketing a school though its merchandise. Having North Texas or Mean Green on hats if fine but it would be nice to be like the other schools and just have a logo besides the diving eagle. Now please forgive how crude these are, I sketched them very quickly. Simple NT that can be outlined, shadowed, etc. I have seen similar ones on here that probably look better. Overlapping letters which I think look very nice, it would look good on UNT gear. This one I like the best. Very nice and would look excellent IMO. again forgive the crudeness I just wanted to see if anyone liked these.

Because thats the accepted norm and its allowed. I go on here to find out information about UNT, not to see people's (bad) jokes. Of course thats my personal purpose, people can use it for what ever the admin allows, I'm not here to change things. I however have every right to give my opinion about what I don't like.

Supposed to be a joke i guess? But its neither accurate or funny, I don't get it. Also ho does this add anything of value to this thread? This is another thing that irks me about this forum. Most threads degenerate into childish joking and very little information about the topic is discussed.

Seriously? Why start a new thread about a topic thats already being discussed?

Only way we move is if one of the Texas schools leaves and they want another Texas school in CUSA. It will be interesting if the MWC wants to go to 12 no matter what and SMU, UTEP, and Houston say no. We could have a shot, other than that there is no way we are considered.

Something has to be up. I have never seen our team just give up. No intensity 95% of the game. What happened? Are they sick? Did they come in overconfident? Tired? We can't go from playing great to playing like crap.

I like the "Pack the Pit" idea. I would also love an annual White Out game. Maybe the two can be done in conjunction

I like the Oregon uniforms and wouldn't mind the feathers on ours. I like the concept of the helmet but what if we just used the wings from our eagle. Sort of like the Philadelphia eagles but using the wings on our logo of course.

Could't agree more. I'm tired of this board's fixation with CUSA. MWC is better, we should join if offered.

I have just never heard a guy at our school speak with the passion he does (don't know if any of you have). You can tell he really means it, that he really loves our school and players. Thats something special, that makes people want to play for you, he is a motivator. Give him a chance RV!!!!

I want Canales. If we don't make him coach I want us to persuade him to stay. He can have the HC job if McCarney doesn't pan out. Offer him a raise, do whatever it takes. Just don't let this guy go. We will regret it if he leaves.

What a great game. Our players should be proud and hold their heads high. Riley has my deepest respect, the kid's (or should I say man) grit is inspiring. We hung in there with a program with more money, better recruits, better conference, bigger fan support, etc. I still think that KState's second touchdown wasn't one. The punt at the end of the 2nd quarter was the tide turner, we really beat ourselves there. What else could you ask for? Canales should get the job, he is a great fit and can do good things. We should keep him. Players were disciplined, how many penalties did we have? Not many, that is a well coached team. The success will come, but that is the foundation you need.

Wow, pretty pathetic how some people are putting down SMU and are sure we will be picked ahead of them for a MWC invite. I have no love for SMU, but go to the MWC board and all the talks about Texas teams revolves around Houston, SMU, and UTEP. UNT is mentioned 1 time, be realistic and get your fan googles off. The MWC is looking to build with strong teams, not tap sleeping giants. we haven't been to a bowl in 6 years and have a terrible record. Don't sugar coat things. UNT has a great facility coming and I hope that leads to success and a new home, but we have to show it on the field first. There is a chance we can get a MWC invite but it would most likely be that SMU turns the, down and they really want to keep a presence in the DFW area.

With Hawaii gone this changes the whole situation. With a name like Hawaii, pretty much their only pillar that was left, no one else has the credentials to keep that conference respectable. They might be able to rebuild but its going to be a hard long road. What I would like to do now is take two teams from LaTech, NMSU, TXst, UTSA. This is a good chance for the Sunbelt to add some good regional rivals and kill off the WAC. Just do it. Its one less FBS conference to share BCS money with and would make us look stronger for raiding another conference.

The Sunbelt has no room for growth. The aspirations here are you dominate the league and maybe, thats a big maybe you get to go to CUSA when realignment comes around. In the WAC teams get picked for the most part because conferences WANT them, not because they need to fill in a vacant spot. Thats two completely different things. Put up a team by team comparison, in all sports not just football and lets see how these two conferences really stack up. To those talking about travel costs having the close block of NMSU, LA Tech, UTSA, TxSt will be enough for most fans to travel to. People don't travel to florida now so the same way people won't ravel to San Jose. Also if UTSA and TxSt can handle the travel it would be embarrassing if we can't. Your going to tell me our great program can't keep up with these two startups? I'm not saying lets go, but we need to see if anymore movement happens this summer like TCU to the Big East, (which is almost a guarantee) and see where we can move, but if no MWC or CUSA spot is available we should make a full analysis to see if this move would help us in both the long and short term.

wow what a great crowed. Everyone was focused, which was nice to see. Mostly people are milling around and talking but everyone kept their attention on the game last night. These kind of games really build school pride and you can tell everyone was bursting with it after the game. Josh White has ice in his veins. I thought he would run out of time but he came through. Odufawa, Thompson, and Hogans are also terrific, as well as the whole team. I was really pulling for 8-8.5k in the crowd and was a little disappointed that there weren't more people but the ones who came we couldn't ask for better support. On a side note I hadn't been to the Pit in a while. When did they repaint/remodel the concession stands? It looked very, very nice. Especially the trophy display area. (I'm trying to attatch an image from my computer, I pick the picture but when I click the "choose this file" button nothing happens.??)

I'll be there with at least 1 more, possibly 3.

maybe, but it worked out for TCU pretty well. Give up those conveniences to be ranked #3 in the country, which they would have if they stayed in CUSA? You bet.

Assuming Houston and UCF are gone from CUSA, ECU is the only notable football program left. MWC would have: Bosie st. Navada Fresno st. Air Force all borderline/potential top 25 programs I would still pic the MWC over CUSA

Thats what I would like to see. People here have a an obsession with CUSA, its better than what we have now but I would choose the MWC over CUSA any day, and would actually prefer to be in the MWC.
