2023 Football

DENTON, Texas – UNT Football will host Pac 12 member California to open the season and plays its first game as a member of the American Athletic Conference in early October, the league announced Tuesday.


New head coach Eric Morris’ first game leading the Mean Green is a Sept. 2 visit from the Cal Bears, the first power-conference opponent to visit Denton since a 24-21 win over Indiana in 2012. UNT continues non-conference play with trips to FIU (Sept. 9) and LA Tech (Sept. 16). ACU visits Denton on Sept. 23.

 

UNT makes its debut in The American on Oct. 7 at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. North Texas will also make conference road trips to Tulane (Oct. 21), SMU (Nov. 10) and Tulsa (Nov. 18).

 

Home conference dates include Temple (Oct. 14), Memphis (Oct. 28), UTSA (Nov. 4) and UAB (Nov. 25).

Two games will be selected for Black Friday (Nov. 24) among a group of four games in the final week of the regular season. The Black Friday selections will come from Tulsa-East Carolina, Memphis-Temple, UAB-North Texas and UTSA-Tulane. Those selections will be made by Oct. 9.

The American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which has been broadcast on ABC in each of the last eight years, is scheduled for Dec. 2 and will be televised either on ABC or ESPN.

Kickoff times and television designations for the first three weeks of the season, as well as the season-long weeknight games, will be finalized by June 1. The rest of the schedule will fall under the customary 12-day and six-day selection processes.

A minimum of 40 conference-controlled regular-season games will be on ESPN's linear platforms, including at least 20 games on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. A series of games will be available exclusively on ESPN+, the leading direct-to-consumer sports streaming service which has grown to more than 24.9 million subscribers in less than five years.

UNT football season ticket renewals for the 2023 season will open through the North Texas Athletics Ticket Office on Wednesday, March 1 at noon. Season ticket holders will be able to log into their account to complete their season ticket & MGSF renewal. Season ticket holders acting fast can utilize 3- to 6-month payment plans. Please note that invoices are based on 2022 season ticket seat locations. Adjustments to seat locations can be made by contacting the North Texas Athletics Ticket Office.

Mean Green football season ticket holders receive several exclusive benefits including access to the best seats, exclusive presales for home, away, and post-season events, an exclusive season ticket holder gift, and more! Fans interested in becoming new season ticket holders for the 2023 season may online or by calling the North Texas Athletics Ticket Office at (940) 565-2527 during normal business hours.

Who's planning a trip to Annapolis?

That and Miami are questionable for myself and some of my counterparts that usually travel with me.

Ruston, Tulsa, Nola, Dallas are all set, need to book hotels and such.

Id like to go to Miami for the fun of it, but have heard from many AAC schools that Annapolis is a great trip and area is so nice.

Annapolis is definitely a cool town. Short anecdote, I worked for Major League Lacrosse's Dallas Rattlers in business development for the 2018-19 seasons. The league had a team that played at Navy Stadium called the Chesapeake Bayhawks, and they hosted the 2019 All Star Game. I had the opportunity to go there as the Rattlers' mascot, as seen in this video at 0:25 and 0:44.

Would love to go back if my budget can sustain it!

      Attendance

      If Army fans weren't at least 40% of the crowd....there must have been alot of NT fans yelling for Army. The "NORTH" Westside "TEXAS" Eastside chant was the best all year...if I remember it was after a Army turn over 28519 attendance.

      Elf blew this one

      I won't lean either way on this one. Agree the defense played a hell of a game. I don't think EM would have tried the onside kick after the FG if he knew the defense would play as it did. If I was told we would give up 14 points to ARMY, I would have metaphorically bet the house we win. But had we shortened a drive or two more giving us the ball one or two more times, maybe we have enough to win. Offense had few penalties this game it seemed. I guess that happens when you only have the ball 15 minutes. You could argue not scoring 7 points on the opening drive, plus an apparent bad call on the goal line in the 2Q, lost the game. That the offense got as close as it did against the 28th ranked pass defense, the 3rd ranked run defense, the 1st ranked scoring defense that’s only giving up 11.25 ppg, and the 5th ranked defense overall is a tribute to both the offense and the defense. We had our shots and blew most of them. GMG

      Parking

      What do you expect them to do if every spot is claimed, either by donors or sales? They can’t make the passes get used, but can you imagine if they oversold that lot and people with valid passes showed up with no spot to park in?

      You are so right about all of this…and when we see any of it change, it’ll be an awesome day. I’ve been waiting since 1990…
