Well now, isn't that a travesty?
Well they are getting paid a combined ten million dollars to play a game at NRG Stadium and a game at Jerryworld. I think most Mean Green fans would be happy to play five home games at Apogee if it meant we got those two payouts while playing in cities with huge alumni bases.
oldguy,
the article is referring to the New Mexico State Aggies when it says a team will host just 5 games.
the Texas A&M version plays 7 home games and 2 neutral site games, as pointed out be Cerebus.

So, Latech had scheduled 3 body bag games for 2016 and then decided they better ONLY play 1?
FIFY. Texas Tech is not a "bodybag" game. That's the very definition of an "opportunity". If going to Lubbock is a "bodybag" then I welcome our ad to schedule a visit asap

Thanks for the updates!
Do you know if soccer and softball are each getting new bathroom facilities or if they will continue o be shared? And also, do you know when the sports facilities are scheduled to start and be completed (softball, soccer, volleyball)?

Louisiana Tech had 3 SEC West games scheduled for 2016 and their AD decided that might be a little too tough so they dropped two to add UMass and Texas Tech.
The 2016 football schedule Louisiana Tech athletic director Tommy McClelland inherited back in 2013 could have allowed the Bulldogs to petition for a one-year membership into the Southeastern Conference Western Division.With a few contract changes and the help from a fellow athletic director,Tech swapped a potential non-conference gauntlet of Mississippi State, Texas A&M and Arkansas to Texas Tech, Arkansas and UMass."We were in the SEC West essentially when I first took over the job," McClelland told The News-Star on Wednesday. "My first reaction was I gotta provide our team the opportunity to be competitive. That's just brutal."It might not have the same firepower Tech now has three road games and still needs to add an FCS home game for 2016 but once the details are digested, McClelland said it made the most sense.Wish we could land a competitive game with Tech. The way I read the release on their website seemed to indicate that Texas Tech might be making the trip to Ruston...
"In arranging the schedule this way I am trying to find an ideal balance between having a schedule in which our team can be competitive in but one that also addresses our financial needs," said McClelland. "I also want to schedule opponents that will play key match-ups at home in Ruston and this will help us achieve that in future years."http://www.latechsports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/052115aaa.html

Kram,
It's interesting that you use Oklahoma state as an example since much of their current success can be attributed to getting rid of Harry birdwell and bringing in mike holder; this coming after terry don Phillips was poached by Clemson.
Many on this board feel like it's time for RV to go so we can bring in our "mike holder". Since unfortunately it doesn't look like RV will ever get poached or resign on his own, we need pres S to do it for us. It also wouldn't hurt if we bring in someone who "gets" North Texas, just like double alum Mike Holder "gets" Oklahoma State

What percentage chance do you give us of having our first 7 game home schedule in Apogee? Since we don't have a bodybag/"opportunity"/"whore" game scheduled for 2019 yet, the chances seem to be 0...
but what if RV is gone before this hole gets filled? or what if Mac is gone, and we get a coach who embraces a chance to slay a "giant" (ie P5) on our home turf? There are a lot of variables to consider, but what we do know is that six home games are already penciled in and the possibility exists, however great or slight, that the final OOC game could be a home one - it doesn't even necessarily have to be a P5.
my answer: 4%
replies without a percentage need not post

Allow me to start off by expressing my appreciation to you and your wife for your generous support of our university and its athletic programs. You really are one of my three favorite posters on gmg to read, and I'm always grateful that a BME (big money eagle) is willing to come down here to our favorite message board to mix it up with the rest of us.
Fail in business, get fired. Fail in coaching, get fired way faster.
However, three months cannot define a body of work in this business. So UNT90, you can start shuddering, Benford will coach here at least three years.
This sure seems like a failure. I can't imagine still having my job three years later if I were anywhere near as bad as ol' Benny boy. However, you did warn us that he would be here for at least three years...
A body of work cannot be judged over 3 months, and I am not going to do it.
You mentioned this in two separate posts. I disagree. However, isn't 3 years more than enough?
if this turns out to be a huge failure, this falls squarely on Ricks shoulders, and I promise you he takes responsibility for his actions and understands the consequences. He has accomplished every goal he ever set out to at this place, including elevating the basketball program. He is going to bring us baseball
And there it is, in all it's glory. It "falls squarely on Ricks shoulders." This has been an enormous blunder, the weight of which even Atlas would have an extremely difficult time holding on his shoulders. Rick is no Titan - this failure should have been his undoing; you even put it in print.
I left the last seven words because it's been over 2 years and still no movement on that front...
Reasons to be optimistic about basketball.
1. J-mychal Reese
2. Jeremy Combs
3. Deandre Harris
4. Ricky Brice
5. Ja-Michael Brown
6. Maurice Aneifiok
7. Todd Eaglin
8. Carrington Ward
That right there isn't 8 reasons to keep Benford. If anything, those are the 8 most unambiguous reasons to cut our losses and give the next guy a great starting point...unlike the next women's coach, who was left with almost nothing to rebuild

RV should look at Kim Mulkey assistants if Bill Brock is interested in being a head coach again. Maybe Toyelle Wilson
or Robin Harmony from Lamar
maybe the recently released Bonnie Henrickson of Kansas

We're now a combined 0-9 on the year against UTEP and UTSA in the 3 revenue sports. Women with our last chance to beat them tonight.
if Petersen loses to UTSA at Kitty Magee then the women will be one of two teams that don't make the CUSA tournament. How pathetic!
I guess he's tired of losing in the first round...
Actually, the problem is that it has been quite acceptable...
UNT needs to cut out the cancer. If the problem continues to persist, it will only kill off the rest of the body

In 2017 we better see a P5 opponent in Apogee.
I hate to break it to you, Ben, but you most definitely will NOT be seeing a P5 in Apogee in 2017, or even 2018 for that matter. The non-conference schedules for 2017 and 2018 have already been announced...

Baylor football has scheduled a three-game series with Louisiana Tech from 2020 to 2022; 2020 & 2022 at Baylor; 2021 at LT.
Granted it's a 2-for-1 and there are many on here who don't want us playing 2fers, but you gotta admit a 2 for 1 is better than 3 bodybag games or *gasp* a 2-for-0 like we have with Iowa

I would expect a 20 win season with some quality wins as a must to keep him and a top 4 finisher in the conference tournament. No extension after year 4 unless he won a NCAA Tournament game. He would have to maintain that in year 5 to be considered for a 2 year extension.
The problem with not firing or extending him after year 4 is that you go into year 5 with a lame duck coach. A lame duck coach has an extremely difficult time recruiting between years 4 and 5 (and during year 5) because every recruit knows that he doesn't even have a contract for the next season.
Only coaches like Mike Petersen (at Wake Forest) don't get fired or extended. His contract just ran out, and that program is now dead last in the ACC three years later because of it

Who did we really think was going to break the streak? The move from guard killed Cyril's shot.
Agreed. If he had stayed at guard, Cyril might have had a real chance. As of right now, however, he is the #34 rated guard. For reference, there were only 45 total offensive linemen drafted in 2014 and only 14 guards. Pro day on March 26th is going to be huge for him. Here is the number of guards taken in each of the last five NFL drafts:
2014: 14
2013: 14
2012: 19
2011: 12
2010: 15

Let me ask you this. Are we getting discounted prices for the FCS games? I mean, same premise.
Since we'll be playing an FCS team regularly now, I'd really like to see RV use these games as an annual super family-friendly "cheap" option to get folks out. Give some people an affordable event to watch the Mean Green win and hopefully want to come back for some more and pay the regular price and potentially even become season ticket holders. I propose the AD use FCS games as a Mean Green Preview of sorts. Get em in the gate, give em a taste of victory, and grow the customer base

Breakdown of C-USA TV games
in Mean Green Football
Posted
That was my assumption as well.
In 2014, all B1G and all SEC home games were televised. We will be on the Big 10 network and the SEC network, at the very least, so both of these games will be televised.
As of right now, the American has not announced their TV lineup for week 2 and the conference only has THREE home games that weekend so I expect that we'll be one of their TV slots; I know I'm biased, but I think ours is the most attractive. Nevertheless, 80% of AAC home games were televised in 2014. AAC home games week of 9/12:
- North Texas @ SMU
- Temple @ Cincy
- Army @ UConn
The B1G only announced the TV schedule for the first three weekends. We might not find out our TV slot for that game until September, but I bet it's the Big Ten Network at like 11am or 2:30pm. The SEC probably won't announce the November games TV until October, but again my guess is SEC Network. The SEC has a pretty salty slate that day (see below). Two games will be picked up on CBS (11 and 2:30), two will be picked up by ESPN, and one is scheduled to be picked up by ESPN2. That leaves 4 to be picked up the SECN or ESPN3.
conference games:
Georgia @ Auburn
Arkansas @ LSU
Alabama @ Mississippi State
Florida @ South Carolina
Kentucky @ Vanderbilt
ooc:
North Texas @ Tennessee
Western Carolina @ Texas A&M
BYU v Missouri (Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City)
It looks like our only non-televised games will be Southern Miss and Portland State, but didn't TXA21 pick up both Texas Southern and Nicholls State? Either way, I'm hoping that means a nice 6pm kickoff for Portland State.
After our 9-4 season, we had all 12 home games televised last year.
I think our lack of coverage this upcoming season has more to do with that 4-8 record in 2014 and the fact that, per the CUSA board on csnbbs, our home games were some of the least viewed/lowest ratings in the whole conference last season.
