Ah yes, UTSA...the only team to ever make us their mortal enemy. This is their Super Bowl, so it’ll be closer than it should, as it almost always has been since they moved up to CUSA with us. But their coach is a freaking idiot when it comes to x’s and o’s, so we will win still by a couple of TDs. We will pull away late, but our defense will keep them in this game for three quarters, Im afraid. But I still see us winning 38-24...

I actually disagree... and this is more of a gut-feeling than anything I can back up... but I think NT comes out with focus & urgency and frustration over what happened the past 2 weeks. 
The crowd sees/feels it and jumps in as well.  UTSA gets steamrolled early.  But they wont give up, because it's North Texas.   I see this game looking eerily like NT/SMU, except in reverse where NT jumps out to a big lead quick and then there's somewhat of a good game afterwards.

I say that every year, and usually that never happens.

Time for us to curb stomp these kids... We need to win this one and win BIG.

The more time that passes from Cal, the more encouraged I am that we are starting to figure out who we are.  lets get to 1-0 in CUSA play.

Also... time to put to bed that they are our rival.  I win this week will start to put us ahead in the series...

I like you want to crush them.  But they are our rival whether we like it or now.  We play for bragging rights in the state, for recruiting and of course our record in C-USA West.  I witnessed them damn bear beat us in the Alamodome last year.  They recruit well under Wilson and have good talent.  This is going to be a super tough game.

Nope.

we lay plenty of in-state foes regularly. They are zero threat to top us in the West rankings. We compete with tons of teams for Texas recruits.  I’m skeptical that somehow UTSA is in the hunt for our targets more than any Texas peer.

they do give us fits though. So they have that.

want a “like it or not” post? Let’s have a discussion about us being the new sexy media darlings. With zero titles under Seth, but tons of media love, we appear to be the new MTSU. 😉

Finally a rivalry where the all-time series is relevant, played by two schools at the same level, and not dominated by one side during the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations.

Believe it or not, UTSA was once up three games to one over North Texas before order was restored to the universe. Now the series, tied at three all, should get forever tilted in favor of the Green.

They say playing football at UTSA is a lot like playing video games at Pinstack ... You'll get to play indoors and you'll always get to watch other people go bowling.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas

      He chose Nicholls State. lol. I’m going to keep trusting in Ross until I have a reason not to.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.
