Unt-asu Game On Thursday, Nov. 15, To Be Televised

[WIFE2HOT4U]

New North Texas football coach Todd Dodge won't have much time to ease the Mean Green into the 2007 season. That was readily apparent after UNT released its 2007 schedule that is full of tough games on Thursday.

UNT opens at Oklahoma, visits an SMU team with revenge on its mind after losing to the Mean Green last year in the second week of the season and also travels to Arkansas in the fourth week of the year.

The Mean Green also plays at Troy, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette in league play.

The jewel of the schedule is UNT's home game against Navy on Nov. 10. UNT should draw a big crowd when it hosts the service academy, but even that game won't be easy considering Navy has played in four straight bowl games.

By the way, look for the UNT-ASU game on Thursday, Nov. 15, to be televised.

While the schedule will be a tough one for UNT, it also offers several opportunities for a big win or two. A win over SMU or Navy would be huge for the Mean Green in Dodge's first season.

Feel free to post your expectations for UNT next season or your thoughts on UNT's schedule on this blog.

Good to hear the ASU game will be on TV. What are the odds of the OU and SMU games getting picked up?

[NCMeanGreen]

It looks as if the Navy game will be televised as well...

[TeachinTodd]

If certain (away) games are not televised, then we need to organize some sort of caravan road trip!

We plan to have at least 6 for Arkansas and probably more for SMU.

Oklahoma game should be the next game to be picked up. I am looking for FSNSW to get that one.

Someone will jump on it just to televise TD's first game as a college head coach.
