09/03 @ Ball State : 1st game of the year for the 09 college football season vs a new coaching staff & QB

09/12 vs Ohio : 1st home game , winable game , could help set the tone for the rest of the season, TAILGATE TIME!!!

09/19 @ Alabama : ULM did it !!!

11/21 vs Army : Should be a packed house and a MEAN GREEN WIN !!!

All 4 games should be FUN. I just hope we can keep the Bama game close , because Saban is the DEVIL !!!!

I almost voted Ohio because it is the first home game and winnable. But I am definately hoping that the game day atmosphere equals that of the Navy game in 2007. If so, that has to be the top OOC game for this year.

I was torn between those 2 as well , but went with Ohio due the fact we will probably only have 1 loss going into that game and probably 9 or so losses going into the Army game

I had to say Bama. I know it'll be a butt kicking, but I'm gonna be there seeing how the atmosphere compares with LSU and Oklahoma. Two great places to watch college football. The fans at both places were nothing but nice to us. Even the LSU fans that gave us the "Tiger bait" chant were almost embarassed to do so. The only loud "Tiger bait" chant we got was when we walked by Frat row. I would have been disappointed if it had been otherwise. Even the frat guys were good natured and gave us a beer.

College corner at OU is a great pre and post game hang out spot. Many pretty women. The fans there were also very nice. I have big hopes for Tuscaloosa.

1. Army- We gave Navy a great (offensive) game when they came here, and Army is nowhere near as good as they are. We should have a big crowd and I think this game is the one we have the greatest chance to win.

2. Ohio- An OK MAC school that I feel we have at least a close to even chance of beating.

3. Ball State- They really had a great season last year. Did they lose enough talent from that great team?

4. Alabama- In all honesty, they won't overlook the Sun Belt next season, and will play us like they are trying to get even with UL Monroe. As a true UNT fan, I will cheer for us tell the bitter end, but this one will probably get ugly.

I picked Ball State. First game of the year and should tell us what we REALLY have this year (the spring is always a time of over-hyped expectation because we're playing against ourselves). If we look decent to good in this game then I will believe Todge isn't playing out his death march.

A good point. Lets hope for the best.

Army...hand's down. The atmosphere at Fouts will be great and the stand swill be full. I hope Army brings their Corps of Cadets...at least as many as Navy had at Fouts. I hope the waether is good, so the tailgating will be big and lively too...it was fun going to the Navy tailgate area and talking to those folks before the game. Very nice...great atmosphere. Class act, Navy...I am sure Army will be the same.

GO MEAN GREEN!

Quick question : Where is the nearest army base to Denton ? I knew a few guys back in the day who were @ Ft Sill in Lawton , OK just north of Wichita Falls , is there one closer ?

I beleive there is one in the Temple/Kileen area. Yes, Fort Hood. Pretty large Army base, as I recall.

I'm excited about the Alabama game and The Army game. But I voted for the home opener against Ohio UNIVERSITY. I think it's winnable, it's at Fouts, and if we win, most casual fans will think we knocked off OHIO STATE.

Me too although it for some reason did not reflect in the Poll. Its the first home game I always get excited over tailgating and the whole experience of that day.

I think you will enjoy the bama atmosphere. Will be along the same lines as OU though you may see more tailgating. It is hard to beat those teams in the SEC in tailgating.

As for the game I am most excited about, I have to go with Emmitt on this one - definately Ball State for me. As he stated earlier, it will give us a gauge of what the season or at least the OOC games will look like, though I have my doubts that any of them will be winnable.

      NIL Keeping More College Underclassmen Out of NFL Draft

      How does this topic make someone barf? It's one of the only things about the NIL that isn't bad for fans!

      NIL Keeping More College Underclassmen Out of NFL Draft

      I heard this during the NFL Draft over the weekend: Only 58 underclassmen declared for this year's draft, the lowest since 2011. https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2024/1/19/24044307/2024-nfl-draft-fewest-underclassmen-declare-in-over-a-decade This is way down from a peak of 130 in 2021. The chance to earn serious NIL money in college is keeping more athletes from shortening their college careers. One pundit said this trend meant there were a lot fewer NFL-ready players available during the final day of the draft. I don't know if that's true since the team here in Jacksonville has a long tradition of avoiding NFL-ready players.

      Entire College Football Team Joins Players Association

      Encouraged by head coach Trent Dilfer, the entire University of Alabama at Birmingham football team has joined Athletes.org, one of several players associations attempting to organize players ahead of the anticipated future where they can collectively bargain for a slice of the sport's revenue. "I wanted to make sure I helped pour gasoline on something that is going to happen no matter what," said Dilfer, who was paid zero dollars and zero cents playing for the Fresno State Bulldogs from 1990-93. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40024327/uab-becomes-1st-d-football-team-join-players-association

      Atin Wright is officially signed with Mean Green

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament team selection transfer guard Atin Wright. Wright comes to North Texas from Drake where he was the MVC champion's second leading scorer averaging over 14 points per game during the season and was one of the league's top 3-point shooters as he made 65 long range shots at a 40.6 percent clip. The 6-foot-1 guard started all 32 games he played in last year and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 2024 MVC Tournament championship as he averaged 16.3 points per tournament game and poured in 17 points in the title win over Indiana State. For his tournament performance he was named to the league's all-tournament team. Wright will have one year of eligibility remaining. In Drake's NCAA Tournament game last year, Wright led all players as he scored 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting versus Washington State. It was his ninth 20-point game of the season. He scored a season-high 26 points on Feb. 13 in a 78-75 road win over Evansville. In that three-point win at Evansville, Wright sank a 40-foot-game-winner at the buzzer. One of those 20-point performances came on the road against American Athletic Conference foe UAB on Dec. 22. Wright scored 20 points versus the Blazers on 11 shot attempts to go along with a pair of steals. Wright last year played six games against opponents who reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In those six games he averaged 15.1 points per game, including three 20-point performances. Drake went 4-2 in those games. The Hawthorne, California, native began his collegiate career at Cal State Northridge. He played three seasons for the Matadors and was a two-time Big West All-Conference honoree before transferring to Drake in 2023. In his final year at CSUN (2022-23), Wright averaged 16.7 points per game. On Feb. 15, 2023, he set the Matadors single-game scoring record as he dropped 42 points at UC Davis. Wright will join North Texas with 116 career games played, 1,530 career points scored, 198 career 3-pointers made and 174 career assists. A southern California native, Wright graduated from Fairmont Prep in Orange County. He averaged 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game as a high school senior. He led Fairmont to a league title his senior year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2AA California Southern Sectional playoff round. His junior year, he led Orange County in scoring with 25 points per game and was named Southern Section Class 4AA Player of the Year. North Texas is coming off a 19-win season under first-year head coach Ross Hodge where they reached the second round of the NIT. He was the only rookie head coach last year to lead his respective team to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. The Mean Green won 10 league games in their first season in the American Athletic Conference. It was the most league wins by a first year UNT head coach. UNT is one of just seven schools in the country who has won a NCAA postseason game in each of the last four seasons.
