How often do we reevaluate new uniforms? From what I remember, 2007-2010 (Under Armor), 2011-2014 (McCarney Nike), 2015-2016(Weird Transition Uniforms), and 2017-2019(Littrell Nike) were all different uniforms. Could we see a new one in 2020 or do you think we will wait another year?

Based on the fact that they put out replica jerseys for fans to buy for $100 this last season... I hope they give these another year or two

[Feelings on Giving Money to UNT]

I graduated in 2018. I take advantage of the Young Alumni discount program but intend to up my gift every year.... be it only a small gift now.  They do not require much to take advantage of the program and its goes for 5 years. Its an easy way to get on board without digging too deep into your pockets.

[Uni talk]

Just say NO to uni talk...

This current set is the first decent set we have had in YEARS!

Yes... I am over the gray.  Ok with the all the green, white, and black combos!

[UNT Stadium naming rights?]

Why is this even being discussed... other than its offseason and this is our life right now lol

Renewal notices are already out. I can’t remember what I paid last year, so I’m not sure if there was an increase or not. If there was an increase, I think it was pretty small. 

I believe it specifically said in the email that there was no price increase this year

Hope he gets a shot, but I still believe he would be a star in the Canadian Football Leaque.

What about Mason makes him more of a star in Canadian football vs NFL or XFL? Bc the field is bigger? 

I have a hard time with the "hey maybe he should play Canadian football... bc those guys arent as good... hed tear it up!" mantality. 

I think he has earned a chance to play with the big boys... yeah I might eat crow on this later, but I promise you Mason is thinking about the NFL

There's gotta' be some benefit to Wright in that he can play close to home, right? 

Would be true for BU and mostly for Ark. too.

Not trying to stir the pot here... promise... BUT...

Why is playing close to home something we think kids want? Yeah, I am sure it is something their parents want so they can see them play... but from what I remember and most kids I talk to now... going off to college away from home is a big draw.  

Just curious if I am missing something. 

[Boise State To The AAC?]

As much as I would like to make "the jump" to the MWC... I still think we havent proven ourselves in CUSA.

Besides the so called TV market, why would the MW even look our way?  Yes, some of our other sports have won championships, but football wise... nada. 

I hope we can win a championship and prove we belong before the window closes on moving conferences.

[How are feeling about next season?]

Ill chime in after the Spring Game

Don't get me wrong.  I like the Wing Zone because it is rather unique.  But four small video screens does not excite me.  We have to find a way to have a large video screen/scoreboard/replay board somewhere in Apogee.  Perhaps such a screen could be worked into the Athletic Center remodel/expansion.  I hope so.

Again... I would have to disagree.  I like the idea that a giant video board isnt the first thing you see about our stadium.  I dont think theyll be tiny video boards by any means.  If we got 4 of the same size or a tad larger than the one we have in the corner now... I would be more than happy

Maybe the four "little" videoboards would be "just O.K." for a temporary fix while the AC expansion takes place, etc.  What needs to be done is dismantle the "wing zone" and complete the lower bowl like it should have been done originally.  Then place a large video board on top of the completed bowl end zone.

I am going to second the NO on this... I love the wing endzone.  It makes our stadium unique... and like it or not that design is all over our athletic village now.  Check out the renderings of the new golf facility and the far end of the IPF.  I believe the wing is here to stay.

[Next up for Master Plan?]

I hate the offseason

[No offer from North Texas for Cobbs]

Dude... ease up with the clickbait.

2018 FAU picked to win conf...goes 5/7 now where is Lane? Seth has a winning record in 2020 he will be hot again!

Well Lane won the conference and their bowl game convincingly... He earned it.  If Seth does the same thing in 2020.  He will have earned it and I will thank him for what hes done.

I read somewhere that we are waiting for the bowl season is over, and it was posted as if it was the wise thing to do?

Then why are so others (TCU, FAU) not waiting?

Makes me wonder if we zeroed in on a preferred guy and are just waiting for the right moment, which also makes me think we didn't consider other options.

I really HOPE that the reason we havent heard anything is bc they already know who they are getting and are letting them finish out what they need to do at their current school.

Now that early signing is over... this needs to be priority number one to me. 

Want to make your on the fence fans jump off the wrong side... keep us in the dark on this and drag your feet.

They had 8,000 people there when we played them. I don't think they will be needing an expansion anytime soon. I'd feel bad for them, but I can't. I'm still real frustrated about that loss we took to them, and I know others are too.

[Update on Coordinators?]

When did we hire Reeder last year?  Just trying to curb my expectations if it wasnt until well into the Spring...

[Potential UNT DC Candidates]

Just now, TheReal_jayD said:

off subject. but got updated list of DC candidates. Good looking group.

no one likes a tease...

[Reeder and Reffett Fired]

Just now, golfingomez said:

it does, but do we have the personnel to make a huge change? we have little to no DL depth, with 8 returners  (4 of those will be sophomores). So if we change defensive fronts we need to grab some serious Juco players to fill the gaps

I feel like we need to get transfers across the board... I am sure Seth is already thinking this.  He needs to repair his brand and fast.  I think that is one good thing about next year.  He will have a lot to prove to potential future suitors. So, bringing in a lot of new blood... coaches and players would be a good move on his part.
