Don't Be Stupid

[emmitt01]

This team was 1-11 last season...and got demolished by a 1AA

Army was playing their best football of the season.  

Mason Fine was hurt.  

Willie Ivery didn't play

Tee Goree is gone.  

And yet, still, we erased a huge first half deficit and took the game to OT...in a new coach's first year.

And we have an AD who isn't a fool.

Again, this team was 1-11 last year.

We are going to be just fine.

looks like we have some good freshman receivers that will be a big part of the offense for years to come.

people will still be stupid. 

[Eastwood Eagle]

This season was definitely a step in the right direction. Team has a good fight and does not give up easily. Excited to see what next season brings.

[Green P1]

We played over our heads and kept ourselves in a game we were never going to be allowed to win. 

 

Hell of of a season.

Well stated.  When you consider the depths at which we had fallen just a year ago, you have to consider this to be one of the best comeback seasons UNT has ever had.

WHAT A GAME WITH A TEAM THAT DID NOT QUIT!

We will flip some recruits we couldn't even talk to 5 weeks ago. 

OUR FUTURE IS SO DAMN BRIGHT!

Future so bright! Where are my sunglasses? What were you thinking at 24  to 7?

[Rudy]

Agree. The turnaround in play and attitude from Las year to this year is night and day.

Super glad for the turnout to exceed my expectations!

I'd still say my spread was about right, but would eyeball the final tally to be 28,000+ green, 11,000+ black and gold. Having a quality opponent matters!

Could UNT Army next year be Apogees first sell out????

Quite the statement about the potential of this program and its fan base.

Would love to see a sell out, but I don't think we see it next year.

We will see a big showing of Army fans though.  The Army people around us said they drove all the way from Georgia and are planning a trip to Denton next year.  Said they love the Dallas area.

Would love to have Army UNT become a regular match up. Great for us because they are on the same level as us, and great for Army because it in a recruiting hot-bed for them.

Good points, but getting ready for that triple option in a week is really tough duty.

I believe even athletic recruits still have to go through the regular nomination process by either a Congressman or Senator. I didn't see any accessions to this listed on the West Point website, although I didn't look very hard. I started here and then read some about the admissions process. 

Still, the number of congressional districts in the DFW area is large anding a lot of positions available.

Anyone recall how many years our home-and-home deal is with Army?

There are nomination sources other than Congress/Senate.  For example, children of people who have served at least X years on active duty can receive a Presidential nomination.  (I'm not sure what X is, but my father's 27 years of service was certainly enough. :-)  ).
