    When I’ve been there for high school games, the home side is on that sections 101-111 side of the field.

    Are we technically the visiting team?  Probably won’t mater.  It will be a sea of green regardless. 

    Yes we are the visiting team. So buy opposite of the press box. For what it’s worth, UTSA is the visiting team too for their bowl game.

    I am very impressed with the #15 ranking of UTSA.  Is 15 the highest ranking ever of a team without their own football facility ?

    This win will be the best win in NT history.

    I never realized that the wood wheels were just decoys. The entire thing is just a lie.

    "Better talent"...not sure exactly how you are using this.  What are some examples would you give of this common phenomenon?

    The only one I can think of is letting Mike Lawrence play more snaps or get more receptions than Darden, until it was just Darden left. Lawrence ended up being a solid receiver, but he had 3 NFL receivers playing with him and an NFL running back too.

  4. We seem to be the revolving door as the team that is 1 win short of .500 making a bowl recently. Has anyone seen a rough count of the number of schools that SHOULD be bowl eligible in 2 weeks? And is that number less than the number of bowl slots again like it has been?

    Well. Davis can be as unhappy as he wants that players aren't willing to wait their turn. The portal looks like it is here to stay, and he can adapt or perish. Looks like he chose perish. SL should take note, because his handling of the portal so far also does not exactly scream of a proper understanding of how to handle the changed landscape.

    SL should call his bff in University Park and ask him how to use the portal.

  6. Dont get me wrong, Mac had his problems, but man he could get you fired up. He would chew out refs, players, and then make you want to run through a wall for him. Wish SL would have some kind of energy. He's so flat, it almost makes you want to take a nap for him instead.

    USC, UCF, and several Belt teams keep that "U". Guess it's the way to go but I always refer to UNT as North Texas and it's understood who I'm referring to.....

    You have an eagle with "UNT" on his shirt and not something with "North Texas". That's the same dilemma that our marketing teams have to deal with.

    I watched online. It was a little awkward they kept pointing out Seth. I wish he could’ve had more sustained success here because I do like him and his family but “at the end of the day”, it’s not show-friends, it’s show-business.

    Seth looked really uneasy as if he was out of place and didn’t really belong here anymore. Almost as if he wasn’t family. 

    Why was he even there?? He’s not going to coach in the AAC. At least not as coach of UNT. That was funny about him not being family lol.

    I have a feeling this era of uniform (see pics) have outlived their lifespan, and they are going to ride the rest of the year out on the throwbacks until a completely new look is unveiled. I’m hoping that will happen either next year or the year after. Just my thoughts.

    I rather see these than the throwbacks. These were good uniforms. I swear if we wear throwbacks all of 2022, I'm going to lose it.

    By and large, they blew it back in 2013 when they chose TV markets as the end-all be-all of who they would invite.  Curiously, this appears to be what the American Conference is doing now.

    Not sure WKU, MTSU, Old Dominion, or La Tech were part of a Big Markets plan. Charlotte didnt even have FBS football prior to this. UTSA had 2 seasons under their belt. The only established teams that moved up were UNT, FAU, and I guess FIU.

  11. What happens to UTEP, FIU, MTSU, WKU, ODU, and La Tech now?

    Mountain West didnt want UTEP. I think MTSU and WKU should reach out to the MAC and see if they will take them. La Tech can pursue MAC or Sun Belt opportunities. I don't think FIU, WKU, or MTSU go to the Sun Belt because the bad blood of them leaving and the schools each own perception that they left for greener pastures. 

    So at a minimum, ODU, FIU, and UTEP are in no mans land. They can wait for the WAC to be ready for FBS, but only UTEP is close enough to that region. ODU and FIU might need to go independent and try to finesse UMass/Liberty to form a small alliance for scheduling. 

    Last option is CUSA tries to appeal to the remaining 6 schools and add UMass, Liberty, and some FCS schools. That would easily be the weakest conference at the FBS level.

    All fair points...but if you were in Skip Holtz's shoes, would you leave what he has at LaTech to go to NT?  We can all list the reasons why we're a sleeping giant, but it has yet to happen in my years of following.  For every reason we could list why NT is a better place to be head football coach, you could list one or more why LaTech is better.  One of the more obvious being that LaTech head coaches get hired away by P5s, North Texas head coaches don't.

    Skips new contract pays a base salary of $800,000. per year.  

    He can make double his salary. Fans at LA Tech are not happy after a 5-5 2020, he starts 2021 2-5. Same reasons we are not happy with Seth, they are USED to winning and he hasnt done that since at least 2019 and not a bowl win since 2018. He may just want a new change of scenery and his last two years dont have P5 jobs lining up for him right now.
