You are on the North Texas football forum bud.  

Why we suppose to care about anything from Florida except Minute Maid orange juice?

Because they are our completion for a CUSA title?

Because they provide a like comparison to see how we are doing in recruiting?

Yes, but it doesn't fit our typical agenda of excuses come this time of year. Lane Kiffin did in 2 months what our staff has failed to do in 15. But there will be some excuses such as, "but they are in Florida." Let me tell ya, every East coast and Southeast program in the country dips into Florida to rip recruits out of. Much like what Midwest, etc. schools do to Texas. It's one and the same. The difference here is, Kiffin is getting it done and he's getting it done much quicker. We will have to play them next year and hopefully his quick success off the field doesn't bite us in the butt on the field.

But UNT90, on the eve of a North Texas National Signing Day he puffs (to use an old journalism verb), uh,.....FAU?

Hellsbells! Then why don't we all just get in a circle, hold hands and sing the CUSA version of Kum Bah Yah? :)   Spread the wealth, babeeee'! 

Just thought the timing of his link was off, that's all.   Did he post a similar link on the FAU board about UNT pre-HOD Bowl game? Did "the Coach" show the impressive pictorial Mean Green crowd support 2 days after Christmas at the Cotton Bowl Stadium (and on a work day to boot)?    

Hey!  I'm just as sensitive about things that I don't think elevate our cause as the next poster on this forum and I've had 40 plus years to attain this sensitivity--probably close to the same number of years as you, UNT90!  LOL!  

Nevertheless, I hope we have a happy day today & get some kids we can build on from last season & go to a bowl game 2 years in a row with a 6 or 7 win team!

90 didn't post this link about FAU. It was @Coach Bill Lewis 

And 6 wins this upcoming season should be a given. My expectations are building beyond 6, not expecting 6. I like our East draw for the first time in a while. I like we get to play a virtual start up in UAB. I like we only have 1 'opportunity' game. I like that we are hosting both Army and UTSA. I like that we are hosting a very winnable game to start the year off right. There are a lot of things to like about our schedule. But my expectations start at 6.

I did not see anything in the article that stood out to me.  They expect 18 to sign, don't we expect 20???  They talked about a lot of people they did not get, and a few they did.......I don't see what the fuss is about for FAU.  Kiffin will get players from his name alone, but I don't see this article as anointment or anything close...

It's a very favorable schedule, and will be for years to come, thanks to RV.  The program needed a winnable schedule, and we have it.

@PlummMeanGreen, one thing you'll come to learn about @Coach Bill Lewis is he posts anything and everything loosely related to CUSA because apparently the UAB board is too boring for him so he comes over here to shotgun posts.

He's a UAB fan?  I wondered who he was.  The other one that posts any and everything UNT/Denton is Skipper.  Just posts links.  Never, or rarely shares any insight.

Back on topic, Kiffen has a lot to prove as a head coach.

Not saying this was the deciding factor that caused "the low blow" against our school, but don't kid yourselves.....these kids do read the message boards of the schools they are interested in (or some of their friends do & report back).  


"– UNT lost a three-way battle for DeAndre McNeal, a wide receiver from Fullerton College in California, with Florida Atlantic. UCLA was also in on the former Texas wide receiver. That was a bit of a low blow for UNT. The Mean Green will face the Owls this year."  (from the DRC) 

Maybe next year on the eve of National Signing Day "Coach" will put a nice link about how damn good UTSA is smokin' it on GMG.com. 

Some out there might just wonder why in the hell do we even keep trying with all the non-stop D2 level shit that has met the approval of many on this forum for years.  The W/L records during all those years (and decades) do not tell a lie.  We need Seth Littrell & staff to turn the tide & change this cycle in the worst way.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.

      Coaching is still more valuable than players. If Tylor Perry and the same team played for Benford here instead of Grant we would have NO NIT Championship.

      I don't see the eventual SEC/BIG10 vs the world thing working out long-term. Sure, USC-Michigan may be fun once in a while but there's no history to support the matchup. There's no regional rivalry. Those college kids aren't a 2 hour drive away to terrorize each other. Eventually, they're going to alienate half the college football fanbase because some of us may watch these games on Saturdays right now because it's football and it's a new match-up but they mean nothing to us long-term either so we won't keep watching them. I don't care to watch an SEC or BIG10 game if it means nothing to the greater landscape of college football. These are not the games football fans want, it's the games networks want. It will fail. An Oregon State fan will never be an Oregon fan. A Texas Tech fan will never be a Texas fan. A Florida State fan will never be a Florida fan. The markets are what they are. They won't change. Not anytime soon at least. Good luck, networks. This is why y'all keep cutting your staff and losing money (especially you, ESPN).
