Austin recruits and Texas State have always been a challenge for us. Sometimes I think they look at Denton as being a world away from Austin when it really isn't. There could of course be a lot of other factors including his girlfriend, friends, teammates etc... Good luck to him at Texas State.

Just more scattershootin' on this and other things.....

Did Texas State-Aquarena Springs tell this recruit although they were 1 of 5 SBC schools that were bowl eligible which did not receive a bowl invite. either, that they were the only one of that 5 who would have told the SBC commish' that they would have elected to stay home anyway? :) Spin-meisters at work all over the Lone Star State of late.

To The Fry Haters Who Still Love & Genuflect To What We've Had Most of The Last 30 Years: Fry would have never scheduled down with another Texas school that has no FBS history and who we might recruit against. Of course, we had to play conference-mate UTSA but none of us liked the results--some older alums all but had their spirits quenched over that loss, too.

I hope our present crowd in charge doesn't start scheduling down either with a bunch of former Lone Star and Southland Conference schools--even schools's like Stephen F. Austin State U who just yesterday demoralized our alma mater's basketball program yesterday. Yes, a UNT BB program that has had one of the best on-campus BB venues in the entire Southwest for 40 years and even today still the envy of others but still a basketball program that most of the times acts like we never left the Men's Gym.

For North Texas, just where is the pay-off to schedule and then get beat by these schools? Let all those schools fend for their own scheduling futures and we will ours, right?. (And that since we had been told the investment of Apogee would see better OOC schools than Fouts ever did, right)? :( Have we really?

And CUSA Commish' Brit Banowsky need not get us a bunch of bowl games that have SBC opponents, either, because if that becomes the new upcoming normal, then what the hell did leaving the Belt do to upgrade our program from a competition standpoint? The regional foes in CUSA are great but let it stop with that as far as future OOC schedules are concerned.

TCU had a definite plan to remove itself from all this hodge-podge of way too many FBS schools in Texas and I think those who can look beyond their nostrils & today would have to admit that it paid off for the Froggies quite well. Those schools who have plans, marked, improved attendance numbers and win annually move up the NCAA totem pole; but those who don't wonder why no one in higher echelon conferences ever talk up their school's name or show interest. :hair:

Texas State is stuck on an island as the only SBC football playing school in Texas. At North Texas............we've been there--done that and we have now passed that torch to Bobcat Country and will just go ahead and let their school play the Lone Star State's & Sun Belt's version of Gilliigan's Island.

:bling: 3 giant steps forward but then going 5 giant steps backwards is a mode of operation UNT athletics shouldn't want to keep re-visiting as we have so many times in our past. As G.H.W. Bush used to say: "Wouldn't be prudent."

GMG!
