And what does UNT bring to the table? 

Being in North Texas. That is much more than utep could bring.

I have always believed that our way upward would be to go out west to the MWC, but that ship sailed. 

If the MWC wants to get into Texas, they can add UTEP, Rice, or UTSA and get everything that we can offer and more. That's three cities with a bowl game to get a tie-in with.

In reality, the MWC is just waiting to get the Big XII leftovers when it falls apart. That is TCU, Baylor, Tech, and probably Houston to consider adding. Those are much higher than anyone else in the AAC or CUSA. 

If we could have ever received an invite to the MWC, it was when TCU left. But we were in the Dodge Doldrums and then our basketball program fell apart very quickly. Today, we just don't have anyone jumping up and down to have us in their conference above where we sit today. 

If they added two Texas teams it would be us and probably utsa. Rice is too close to utsa and utep doesn't bring anything to the table. Adding utsa and us allows the MWC to gain exposure in north and south Texas.

Reason for pessimism - Benford.

I don't think smu has as much pull as  y'all think. Plus if we start winning consistently it really won't matter what they want.

What unt needs to do is stay proactive. We need to make a package deal to get into the MWC with Texas-San Antonio, Rice, and UTEP ( maybe not utsa, but they do bring potential tv market). Of course the AAC would be ideal, but don't see that happening. Point is UNT needs to be ready for the next realignment. 

I would take UTSA over UTEP

Yeah, this really needs to stop

[Finishing out wingzone into bowl]

I hope they fill it in. I can't stand the way it looks, it comes off as cheap to me. 

[MGB: A look at UNT's QB situation with O'Hara]

O'Hara will be the number two by the time the season starts not Shanbour.

[Rick Villarreal stepping down as AD]

It feels like Christmas morning.

[MGB: Benford to enter 5th season in final year of contract]

It doesn't matter if benford wins every game next year, rv still made the wrong hire after jj. 

[MGB: Benford says he will be back, confident in future]

And the losing continues...

[MGB: All quiet on the hoops front]

I didn't show up this year to watch a game, and I won't be back until benford is gone. 

[Coaches Caravan]

I hope there is a new basketball coach.

[2016 UNT Football Schedule is Out Now]

At least the bye week is not at the beginning of the season again.

[2016 UNT Football Schedule is Out Now]

All three conference Texas teams are still either all away or all at home again. This really needs to be fixed.

Another PWO?  Wow.  Lots of HS production coming in as PWOs.  Nice.  Welcome aboard!!

Where are you seeing PWO?

[Nicholls (12/14/15)]

I'm kind of hoping that we keep losing so Benford will be gone sooner rather than later. 

[Why Cross could be an option]

I just don't see him leaving UTA to come here.

[Benford firing watch]

Hopefully Nichols will help us out again. Maybe this time we can lose someone else besides just the head coach.

[Littrell - Interesting E-mail to Former Lettermen]

UNT has completely lost all contact with their Lettermen over the course of the last decade.  I do know some of the previous players who have donated/given to the program over the last couple years and they mentioned that it is all give give give to the program with nothing in return.  The Lettermen of the program can and will whole heartedly support this program again if they feel wanted.   Most of the them absolutely love the program and would jump at the opportunity to be part of it again in a support function.  

That is really disheartening to hear, but hopefully this is something that will be corrected.

[UNT 2016 Recruiting and Staff]

I would like Patrick if we can keep him.I'm pretty sure he will go to Miami if called though. 

[Littrell: "Home sweet home"]

Didn't even know about that place. Definitely nicer than the Holiday Inn. 

Yeah it's easily the best place to stay in Denton.

[Big 12 expansion]

We just need to worry about being in a good place whenever the next conference realignment takes place. We really need to start winning and have an increase in attendance.

[Littrell - Interesting E-mail to Former Lettermen]

This is a really good idea.

It is at 4 not 7.
