31 minutes ago, UNT 90 Grad said:
They played it again at the end of the game with players from both teams facing the stands in attention.
I noticed there also was a Lamar flag flying on one of the south end zone poles under the North Texas flag.
I spoke with Wren Friday night while setting up my camp/tailgate site. He said we gave Lamar a place to practice Friday (I think in Apogee) and a free meal in the Victory cafeteria, as well as heavily discounted additional meals. He said that Lamar was likely going to have to stay in Denton a few extra nights after the game and and that UNT was doing things to help out.
I'm a student Equipment manager, and we're also sharing our equipment room with them this weekend! They're grateful people and I'm glad we hosted them in the way we did!

We were talking about this at work earlier, according to my boss the game is still going to go on, and that its a possibility that the team will get here earlier and could have practices in our facilities (Wren tweeting about that being a possibility as well)

Yes It's on the Campus side

There's a giant pole that was brought up near Fouts, so I believe that is it!

I have a friend that bought a full size one and he wears it to games... let's just say it's not super comfortable since it is a "display piece" but it's wearable

I hope they stick to the design/scheme of the away uniforms from last year. These were actually really cool IMO. I said it before but the home and away uniforms need to have the same design. They haven't the last few years and it sticks out like a thumb unforgivably. The home green uniforms were just... eh.

I liked both uni's, a lot of people didn't like the home one, and I can see why at times. I think it always had to do with the combo, It always worked best with the white helmets and white pants (I think in 2015 they focused too much on using black in the uni combo and it wasn't the most flattering in my opinion) and the green with green helmet looked odd because the helmet green always looked mismatched, that's why it worked better with the white uni's.
I liked the uni combo for HoD with chrome green green. But I think my favorite combo would be
Home = White/Green/White
Away = Icy Whites (like in the photo)

According to CBS we ended 99th last season, surprised we're not higher or around the same for pre-season!

Hahahaha! Not a UTSA mole, I had no idea. It's an inside joke with some friends.
Don't worry, I've got my fair share of apparel. I'll be at every home football game and Rice/SMU. Gonna *try* to tail it up to Iowa but we'll have to see what the cost is. Definitely gonna be going to the basketball games too.
Basketball games are fun to go to! Although we need to get more students to sit (well stand... we don't sit in the pit!) in the student section this season. Hopefully McCasland, Mitchell and WB can get that rolling this upcoming season.

I agree with it on a certain level, I do like that they predicted to actually win 6 games compared to other sites who have us at 3-4 wins. But here's how I'll predict:
Lamar - Win
SMU - Toss Up, I kept saying last year (especially after the Army win) if we were to play SMU later in the season then we could've won, NT has grown since then even with the loss of players graduating there still is a team that we can see a hopeful win that is possible.
Iowa - Loss, the G5vsP5 games are always going to be lopsided and there are of course the circumstances when the G5 team wins. Iowa has had a mixed bag team recently and if NT can play their books well then I can see a plausible loss by a few points and best case scenario a win
UAB - Win, with a team just returning into football it's gonna take time for UAB to heal
So.Miss - Toss Up, it's no surprise they're one of the powers of C-USA, but last year's loss to NT was a shock that statisticians and the team didn't expect, even though it was a win by a few points, it shows that NT's key is to not lose the determination to win and that consistency is important in both halves, so if NT can put in the first half show they did last year and keep that consistent to the second half then we can go away with a W.
UTSA - Win, every sit I see puts us as a loss against UTSA, but that can take a toll on both teams with UTSA becoming overconfident and losing (similar to NT vs UTEP last year) and NT becoming more determined to getting that W versus a team that is obsessed with us on Twitter.
FAU and Old Dominion are two teams I haven't kept up with, but knowing that Old Dominion was a surprise power last year could say something, but I'll have to wait and see
LaTech - Toss Up, this one is a bit more difficult, last year's game had many problems including some calls and the ejection of McClain, it could've been a much closer game if it weren't for the issues. LaTech has been a great team that can easily take the win, but if NT wants to ruin their homecoming like LaTech did to us then we'll have to wait and see 😉
UTEP - Win, we had a 95% chance of beating them last year and we crawled out with a loss, but a team falling like that will always learn from mistakes
Army - Win.... no comment I want that win
Rice - Win, it was a thrilling 2OT game last season and with a more improved NT team we can see something more thrilling but just in the 4 quarters, Rice had struggles last year and could come back but it seems like they need to focus on their own rebuilding.
I'll predict an 8-4 season

To answer the questions and get back on topic.
1. Support North Texas and be proud of your school. All other schools you followed as a child, your parents told you to like, etc... come in a distant second.
2. Only wear North Texas clothing, hats, hoodies, etc... on campus, away from campus, to your wedding and to your funeral. Burn all other.
3. Get involved in campus life whether that is RA, Greek, Club Sports, just get involved. It will make your experience much more fun.
4. Attend all events possible, even non-sporting. There are a great number of things to do.
5. Attend all home sporting events. Tailgate, be loud, support your team win or lose, be respectful to visitors from other teams, yell until you can't speak.
6. College is a blast. I miss it every day. Be serious about your studies, but don't miss out on the fun. You only get one shot at this, don't leave with regrets.
7. Meet alumni at the tailgates. They are welcoming, will feed you the best food you will have away from home, don't be afraid to put Tony's balls in your mouth, and they become your network when you graduate.
8. Have fun.
9. Change your Twitter handle.
10. Hate all things SMUt and nUTSAck.
#2 is way too relatable

I think I might rethink my adoption (or I'll just take twins 😉)
#66 Brendon Weatherspoon, I know his older brother and I followed up on his recruitment and commitment to UNT on Twitter this past year. According to his brother he won't be playing this season, but from seeing his highlight tapes and his determination I can see him becoming a favorite in the near future.

I'll Adopt Mr.Ice-In-His-Veins #37 Brandon Garner, he did pretty well last season and is a standout currently during practices.

My friend was one of Pearson's OLinemen up at Texas High School, he knows Cade's power and talent well and he even commentated on his throwing and what not at the spring game, it makes me really hopeful that Pearson will bring something super special to the team.

I love the North Texas design! Although I have to give props to Texas it's not too shabby either (still not as strong as North Texas' though)

Also, the Athletic Center Lobby has been stripped down as well.. No idea if that means its close to be announced, but hoping that it will be
I know it's in the middle of renovation, they showed the concept art off at the Coaches Caravan, I heard they're moving the Hall of Fame plaques there as well as updating the display cases and updating the overall aesthetic.

Knew about the UTSA, but no idea about Rice.... They need promote this stuff better on campus...
The UTSA thing, they did Thursday afternoon/evening and left Saturday morning..
buy through the AD Office, UNT gets more $ that way
Like i stated this was as a Talon, they were able to send us to Houston and San Antonio with Cheer/ Dance and the Green Brigade

That place always had the grass, it's where the ROTC is stationed during games... who knows what they're doing!?

Cool! Is that the same as student pickups for home games? Just contact the ticket office or what? I have the option to go to those 3 road games I mentioned and don't want to miss them - especially SMU.
I have to apologize for the context, I was speaking on behalf of Talons (Not sure if you got a chance to read my comment above), but I do know that SMU tickets are around $40 which isn't too shabby for a football game, Rice is probably around the same price (maybe less), i can't say for LA Tech.
Ben above says it well ^^^

Going to away games sounds like a blast. I'd LOVE to get to the SMU/Rice/LA Tech games... how would one student go about making that happen?
Last year Althleics were able to pay for us to go to both the Rice and UTSA game, I hope this year it'd be similar (SMU for sure probably) but I'd love to go to Louisiana... LaTech's Homecoming game is against NT this year so that'd be really exciting.
I know a few who transferred from NCTC!

Hey! I'm Agustin and I'm a member of Talons! Talons is the official Spirit, Service and Tradition Org on campus, and if you're looking into diving and wanting to embrace tradition, then I encourage you to join! We're responsible for:
- Boomer the Cannon (our touchdown ringer)
- Spirit Bell (The actual ringer, you can find her grandma in the Union!)
- The Mean Green Machine (a green and white decked out 1931 Ford Model A, my favorite because I'm Co-Head of the committee)
- Homecoming Bonfire (We build and light it the week of homecoming!)
- Lighting The Tower! (I think it's cool how Athletics is using this as their phrase for the year, but we do light the tower the night of a victory)
Like I said, I encourage you if you have interests! It's a great organization, there's a lot of Talons Alumni on this forum and they can have a say for themselves. I've met a lot of people and they've become like a family, and I'm barely entering my second year!
Finally, Welcome to UNT! Whether or not you join I hope you have a great time and I know memories will be made!

Food in Denton
in Mean Green Football

Rooster's is amazing, LSA is always fun to go to for the atmosphere, and the burgers are pretty good. I'd also suggest Crooked Crust right off campus, it can get cramped easily, but its always a good time going there and its great pizza for pretty cheap too!
