Brett Vito just reported the NCAA confirmed to the Denton Record Chronicle that there will be no rule change. Now maybe Arkansas can just admit they got beat by a better football team and out-coached by a better coaching staff.

Being a Mean Green fan and a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I have already signed up for this. Completed my donation paperwork and sent it back already.

Whoever starts there, I hope they win. I am sick of people all over talking about how bad Arkansas is instead of how good UNT is. I think UNT has a good football team and a great coaching staff. All Arkansas fans and everyone else keeps saying is UNT is not good, Arkansas is just very, very bad. Maybe Arkansas is bad, but for once, why can't people just admit that UNT is good?

Did anyone else notice that Lauren Holmes was at the football game vs Arkansas? I saw her there sporting the Mean Green colors and sitting in the Mean Green section. Though she is no longer with our WBB program, it was nice to see her there supporting the Mean Green.

I agree with everyone on this board. They are only looking into changing the rules because North Texas dominated Arkansas (of the big, bad SEC). If Arkansas would have done that to us, no one would be wanting to change the rules. They would have just talked about how we got tricked. The fact is we dominated their A$$ in all three phases of the game and like UNT alumni Stone Cold Steve Austin says "And that's the bottom line, cause Stone Cold said so."

I was treated very well by Arkansas fans. I talked to quite a few of them during and after the game. They all had great things to say. Went to 21st Amendment on Dickson after the game and people all said nice things except one kid. Some guy was telling me how good UNT looked when this kid buts in and says "North Texas really ain't that good. No Offense. We are just really bad." I thought about punching him in his mouth, but I had my Mean Green colors on and didn't want to make the school look bad by starting a fight with some big mouth kid that weighed about 120 lbs soaking wet.

When I was leaving Razorback Stadium yesterday, a few of their fans asked me how long Seth Littrell's contract was and what was his buyout. Seems like maybe their fans want him. LOL. The crazy thing is that I never thought of him going to Arkansas, but that could be a possibility. He is from Muskogee, which is 87 miles from Fayetteville. I doubt he would end up there, but if Morris fails, you never know.

From what I understand, they went to one camp and his father took notes of what they taught there and then they came home and worked on what was taught there. Not sure if it was multiple camps, but I could be wrong.

As far as former NFL Players, I was told by someone in the know that the following players would be there: Franco Harris Mel Blount Tony Dorsett Earl Campbell Charles Haley Rayfield Wright There may have been one or two more, but I cannot remember the names the person said. Terry Bradshaw was definitely not one of the names mentioned. I would have remembered that being that I am a Steeler fan.

I am going up Friday, but staying in Fort Smith. Really could not find anything decent in Fayetteville or surrounding area that was available. Plan on driving up from Fort Smith Saturday morning and heading back to Fort Smith after the game.

Thank you very much.

Does anyone know what section we have? All my ticket that I bought from the UNT ticket office says is that I pick the ticket up at will call and that it is general admission. It says nothing about section or seat.

Great segment to watch. Glad we have Mason Fine as our QB. He is a great football player and an even better man. He is a great representative of UNT.

Update to the weather as of 12:54 PM. Looks like it says it will rain heavy up to kick-off. I don't think forecasters know at all. Hopefully it will not be raining much.

Weather channels report at 9:09 AM.

They are continuing to have a tough stretch. I saw that Barbara Teakell was not starting and I have not heard her name in the last few games. Is she injured or was she just replaced?

Well, they better figure it out soon.

Right now it is looking like UNT is a better team than TCU. Rain or not, both teams are playing in the same elements. If TCU is so much better, they should be winning. The fact that they are being taken to the woodshed right now speaks volumes of how good UNT really is. I am loving it. Never thought I would cheer for SMU, but Goooo SMU!

I sat there for a few minutes at a time. I have two seats there. I mainly walk back and forth as the ball moves up and down the field. That's the reason I bought them was because I never stay in my seat. My brother used my other seat and he sat there the whole time. From my point of view, until they cross about the 35 yard line on that side, you are better off watching the jumbotron. Once they are past the 35, it is a great view of the action.

That picture of that kitten has me ROTFLMAO.

I agree. UNT should have been big years ago. If I am an athlete, why would I want to go to TCU or SMU over UNT? The only reason they would is because their sports has just been better. No way are you having more fun at TCU and SMU over UNT. Now UTA on the other hand, I don't know what to say about them. They are a large university that just doesn't seem to exist. I went there for a semester and absolutely hated it. Went back to UNT and knew instantly it was just a better place to be. UNT is just what Seth Littrell said it could be, "a monster." Maybe just maybe, he wants to ride with the "the Sleeping Giant" like PlummMeanGreen said.

https://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/rankings/cbs/129 Seems that the drubbing that FAU took in Norman caused them to drop significantly. North Texas is highest ranked CUSA team according to this poll. They have us ranked at 53. They even have us a few spots ahead of Arkansas.

At the end of the day, none of us know what is going to happen. We can all speculate on this board and say he is leaving or he is not leaving. None of us know what is in his head or in his heart. I highly doubt Coach Littrell has told anyone on this board what he plans to do. Until then, all we can do is take him at his word, enjoy the ride, and stop getting our panties in a bunch over him leaving.

I agree. I do not think we have to match 3.5 million but at least go above 2 million. Don't get me wrong, 3.5 is significantly more than 2+ but when you consider other factors that may go into his decision, it may not be all about the money. Lubbock is a bad location for one. Secondly, if UNT is winning, it is easier to recruit kids to want to come to DFW instead of Lubbock. Thirdly, his children are getting older and have friends and family closer. Trust me after moving around in the Army several times in the earlier part of my career, it gets tougher and tougher to uproot your family and move again when kids start to get older. They hate leaving their friends. They want somewhere to establish themselves and have friends that they can grow with and graduate high school with. I think all that plays a part in his decision. 3.5 is a lot, but if we can get him to 2+, is it enough for him to want to move his family to Lubbock? This administration, regents, and AD are 100% behind him. The only thing in my mind that Tech can provide that we cannot is the chance to compete at the P5 level. However, that could change if we blow up for the next few years and that crap show in Waco continues to falter.

I think Wren will wait to the end of the season, see how the team did and make a decision based on that. If we can win out, you bet your bottom dollar there will be tons of P5 schools sniffing around. I think he will see what kind of contract he is offered and see if we can match it or come close to matching it. We may be able to match 2-2.5 mil, but anything above that, he is a goner. If he gets offers of only less than 3, then maybe we can hold onto him because we are in a great area and a hotbed for recruiting. At the end of the day, SMU is paying what 2 mil, we have to at least try and keep up with that. It is tough, but with the number of alumni that we have, it is certainly doable. My concern is holding on to assistants who have aspirations of being head coaches or moving up in the coaching ranks and who want more money for their families. You cannot blame the assistants for that. No coach wants to be a position coach forever.
