  1. it will probably change. They have discussed this on the CUSA board and the notion is that UAB's return will bring about a more permanent schedule rotation ( a la the B1G and SEC, also 14 team conferences w/ 7 team divisions and 8 conference games).

    with UAB, teams will play 6 division games and 2 foes from the East. 3 home division games, 3 away division game. It's possible they slot UAB in with Southern Miss and LA Tech on our schedule, but I think our AD will request a change like your suggesting. Look for us to make a consecutive road trip to either Houston or San Antonio in 2017

  2. Ticket allotment size:

    in conference USA, home teams must provide 400 complimentary tickets to the visitors. These are used for player guests, recruits, traveling personnel. Home teams also provide another 1,000 for consignment. Visiting teams have the option to request up to 600 additional consignment tickets, but this must be done at least a month prior to the game otherwise the home team can sell those tickets

  3. That picture looks great! I watched part of the UConn-Maine game last night via stream and it was pretty crisp.

    Here's a link of TV stations carrying the North Texas vs SMU game.

     

    There are over 75 stations nationwide in 30+ states carrying the game. Most are free to pick up with an antenna for any cord cutters out there.

     Texas DMA's that have a live OTA broadcast:

    - Amarillo

    - Beaumont

    - Corpus Christi

    - El Paso

    - San Angelo

    - San Antonio

    - Tyler/Longview

    - Waco/Temple/Killeen

    Yeah, I've always had to call.   Maybe the Athletic Department Wrenovation will result in clear methods for purchasing away game tickets online through UNT. 

    I think away game tickets have typically been kept off the online portals because the Ath Dept has tried to make it harder for the home team fans to purchase them. Away game tickets, at least  in the past, were sold at face value with no markup from NT. 

     

    SEC fans try to buy these tickets from the G5 and FCS schools because they're the cheapest way into a sold out game. Scalpers also try to buy several when they have the chance.

    away game tickets were at one time only available to MGC members but I believe that got changed after some negative feedback. By selling them in person and on the phone, I think they were trying to limit the number of non-MG fans purchasing the tix. 

    all of this and a buck & eight cents will buy you something off the dollar menu, but I think I captured the spirit of the away ticket polixy

  5. Update: total raised - $3,586 (July 13th)
     

    Great job Mean Green nation! Only a few hundred dollars left, and we'll be able to send Coach Slekis and our distance runners on a much needed training trip.

    These athletes do a great job representing our university and can hopefully nab a conference championship in the near future. Proud to be associated with folks like you who can make this happen

    Just ask them if they are capable of completing simple gift matching tasks...  and if they f it up, 3 years in a row, will they accept responsibility for it or would they make me pay for their incompetence?  

    Does your company allow matches for athletic donations? Actually, this question is open to anyone.

     

    i ask because the company I work for offers a 2:1 match program but specifically excludes athletic donations. I had a co-worker who tried to submit anyways and the employee who works in the gift match dept called the number and found out that it was sport specific and rejected the match. Anyways, I'm interested in how many companies match and if they do match, will they match athletic donations.

    Not sure I agree on "rape culture." But as 3XL stated more like a "cover up culture." Nothing will come of this. They are turning themselves into a high TV rating program. The NCAA wouldn't dare. 

    Definitely a cover up culture, but the football team sure seems to have fostered a rape culture as well.

    was looking at ratings, and Baylor games really don't receive high ratings. They have a small fan base . Don't forget, this is a school that has only ever sold out one bowl game

    a couple of thoughts:

    1. Really surprised our AD wasn't able to provide the 4K for such a critical training trip. You would think as overpaid as RV is, he would just write the check himself. Miser

     

    2. Also surprised one of the 17 hasn't already covered this entire expense. If I had enough money to be one of the 17, I'd fund this in a heartbeat. Instead, I'll only be able to give a benjie.

    Baylor University did not investigate a sexual assault report made against two football players for more than two years, despite the school's obligation under federal law to immediately address allegations of sexual violence involving students, Outside the Lines has learned.

    In 2013, the Waco Police Department wrote in a police report that it had informed Baylor officials about an off-campus incident involving former All-Big 12 tight end Tre'Von Armstead and former practice squad player Myke Chatman. Waco police also told the alleged victim they had contacted Baylor, but according to documents and interviews conducted by Outside the Lines, Baylor didn't begin looking into the allegations until Sept. 11, 2015.

    They have a rape culture at Baylor.

    Softball record:

    Record: 15-11 Home: 8-4 Away: 3-4 Neutral: 4-3 C-USA: 1-5

    They're not killing it in conference play right now but there are currently above the .500 mark, which is more than what our Men's Basketball team can say.

    Indoor Track and Field:

    Men - Finished 4th (out of 10 teams) in the conference tournament

    Women - Finished 4th (out of 10 teams) in the conference tournament

    Men = T4 (out of 10 teams); Women = 10th (out of 13 teams)

  11. Didn't realize that Vito had written a story without giving you due credit, Eagle 1855. This belongs here instead of his thread...

  13. wonder if they ever got in?

    they did. I watched him walk over to the windows and buy three tickets. I saw him sitting in the wing in the 2nd quarter and went over and introduced myself and told him that I'd love to see him down their on the field the next year. The girlfriend snorted in derision, but he graciously replied that he liked our stadium and the proximity to his hometown. He chatted about the Lancaster Tigers and basketball for about 2 minutes and then I left. He definitely seemed like a class act

  14. So who is willing to take one for the team and declare a hunger strike until RV hits the curb?

     Mods,

    Not to be "that guy", but I posted a very similar thread last night which got deleted. In my thread, I even talked about the positive that if we timed it right (this week), Tennessee might pay the buyout. RV's buyout is nothing to them. They'd gladly pay it to ensure that our team shows up in Knoxville to give them win #6 and bowl eligibility

  15. In November 2014, I posted the following with a poll. I am unable to see the results of the poll now, but I remember over 100 people voting at the time. There were some telling remarks and comments in the original thread.

    I notice a lot of back and forth regarding RV. I want to know what you would do if you had the deciding vote on the BOR, specifically regarding RV. Would you keep him and why? Fire him because he's done what he can do here and it's time to get the person who will take us to the next level? Fire him because you think he isn't very good and is paid too much? Extend him and give him a raise because he's provided so much to the athletic department at North Texas? Or give him an ultimatum that it's time to start doing more and it starts with hiring new blood, much like a head coach who fires a coordinator to gain some breathing room?

     

    Let's refrain from personal attacks. It would be great to see what Mean Green Nation thinks. I know I learn a lot from reading each person's unique perspective, especially when it's thought out and fact-based.

     

    It's been 11 months since that post above and the accompanying poll. I'd love to see what GMG thinks today.

  16. Denton born and raised. When I was in 5th grade, my buddy and his family were going to the Baylor game and asked my parents if I could go with them. My mom and dad said, "yes" 

     

    We destroyed them, and I loved it. I ended up getting invited to every other (home) game that year, and we went 5-0. It was magical! My buddy ended up moving to Virginia that following summer, but I was hooked. I missed the season opener the next year (Florida Atlantic), but I was back after my mom got free tickets for the Middle Tennessee State game, and I've never missed a home game since then.... 61 consecutive and counting (and 66 of the last 67)

     

    Have had some great times in Fouts and Apogee. Have also had some pretty miserable times too. Like southside said above, my worst day at a North Texas football game is better than pretty much any other day. Now that the "real world" is here, it's not as easy as those carefree days of yesteryear...I just hope I can outlast RV. I love this place way more, because I bleed green.
