Honest answer, yes I do. I could be wrong. I get the appeal of playing lots of texas teams. But I do believe more students, alumni, and casual fans will take interest if there is more high-exposure competition.

It's easier to get butts in seats at games when your home games include Memphis, South Florida, Navy, etc. as opposed to UTEP and Rice.... Both UNT and the AAC know this.

#PuntsShouldCountAsTurnovers

Four takeaways is asking a lot. This isn't a game that needs to be won with turnovers..... god willing.

Can someone provide context here? I used to listen to the musers religiously but not in recent years. I know he's a grad but pretty openly doesnt GaF about our athletics but is there more to it?

There's at LEAST six opportunities just in the regular season for Seth to get a "big" win here. SMU, Mizzou, LA Tech, UAB, Liberty and Marshall would all immediately be one of the best wins of his tenure at UNT assuming all of them perform as advertised. Even then, he's still winless in postseason play. Go win a bowl. If this team vastly exceeds expectations and wins the west, go win a conference title. It's been six years. We need rings and we need big time wins to propel the future.

I'm playing it safe and saying 55-21 UNT win. I hope and think the deficit will be larger but that's my safe bet.

I love love love Jake Roberts but he has 4 catches for 49 yards in college lol. Let's relax before tossing him into that poll.

Pick a QB who can curbstomp SMU. I don't care if we gotta win 70-66. Give me the QB that gets us 70.

Either the worms or the all-white throwbacks from the HBU game. I am a huge fan of either. The uniform is not my gripe - I absolutely adore our variety of great uniforms. Just the measly attempts at crowd color coordination.

Why have we only done "whiteouts" at Apogee? I know there were like half-assed attempts at blackouts in 2018 and 17 but if you're going to do a color scheme for fans why not make it green or black or at least mix it up? Meh. We did this already.

I will never let my optimism for this program die. If we stay healthy I wanna be on the right side of history baby. 10-2. Aune or Ruder, don't know, one of the two, becomes a phenom. Defense steps up. I'll say losses to Mizzou and Marshall.

Can't be beating UTEP by 2 this year.

If I'm the Pac-12.... what in the world does Kansas State bring to the table that TCU, Baylor, Tech do not?

Said it before. Aune/Ruder is 10,000 times a better QB duo than Bean/Aune. No disrespect to Jason. Our QB1 is going to be legit this year regardless of who it is and that's worth getting hyped over.

SEAN THOMAS FAULKNER is gonna drop the hammer and be a key defensive piece this year. Just watch.

Can't stay relevant in their own city so they gotta put billboards up in ours. Let's beat the absolute tar out of them on Sep. 11, please.

See you out there!

No official reports yet.

My parents were both BU alum so i was at a lot of games during the Briles era..... believe you me, you can hear PB yelling over 45,000 people. If our defense is bad this year it won't be because they're not paying attention.

I agree with everything you said, but the thing is UNT doesn't fire a coach for going 5-7 after two 4 win seasons, especially when he is on contract to be here through 2023. He is not getting bought out, so he either has to win or has to do so poorly this year that our donors think it's an upward move to search elsewhere. This schedule has 10 winnable games I would say and 2 I would say are almost sure losses (Liberty and Mizzou). If we can win 5-6 of those "winnable" games I am happy.

Gonna need a link to purchase that sweatshirt ASAP.

We were a top 10 offense in college football last year. Put a bad to mediocre defense on the field as opposed to literally the worst defense in the country and you're talking the possibility of anywhere from 6-9 wins. 2017 D gave up 6.07 yards per play, 440 yards per game and allowed 942 plays. They were one of the worst units in the country in terms of getting off the field on third down. But our offense was 19th in the country and we could score, so as long as we could hang 30-40 in a given matchup we had a chance week after week. Same thing this year. Sky isn't falling. If we win some games we aren't supposed to there's a 8-9 win season and a possible West division push on the table. The worst case scenario is we win 4-5 games and just underachieve. This team is too talented to lose 9 or more, especially on offense. I think what matters is not how much we lose but how we lose. I will not be mad in the slightest if this team goes 5-7 with like one blowout max. I'll be upset but I am dead tired of watching us get steamrolled. FAU 2x, Troy, Utah State, SMU every year other than 18, UTSA 20, App State..... I'm tired of it. I think we all are. I honestly, genuinely care way more about how we lose this year more than the record.

"Tough times don't last, tough people do" alright WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS IN HERE

Obviously I hope we win, and this is jokes, but part of me really hopes Aune goes out and throws a pick six first drive on Sep. 4 just to drive a certain someone in this thread to the brink of madness.
