Hells damn bells, you all. You bitched for years and years about getting a home and home with SMU, RV does it, and you're happy for awhile. Now, you bitch about it. After the first Army series,

You mean 45k Amon Carter Stadium? There goes all the "they will only come here if we play them in Jerry World" ideas right down the toilet. I obviously don't expect Ohio St. to come to Denton, but

Much like SMU being in the AAC... Like I said, I'm not expecting Ohio St. in Denton, but think we can do MUCH better than Nichols St. Funny thing is, I don't think Frog fans were expecting Ohio St

I obviously don't expect Ohio St. to come to Denton, but this is just another example of a local AD scheduling over his head while we continually schedule at about ankle level.

I'm sure TCU being in the Big 12 conference helps out a lot.

Funny thing is, I don't think Frog fans were expecting Ohio St in Amon Carter, either. They got a pleasant surprise because their AD figured out a way to get it done.

It's this. Didnt the Big 10 (Or whatever it is now) pass something encouraging member schools to play P5 schools in non-conference play?

The B1G has banned teams from playing FCS schools. G5 teams are still considered open.

But Alabama, Texas, OU, LSU can't do better than to pick UNT as a home game...

Silly man. How the hell Can UNT be expected to schedule like a powerhouse such as N. Illinios?

Lots of programs get it done. We most certainly do not.

N.Ill won the MAC in 2011 & 2012. They have been bowling every year since 2008. They have also been ranked. They would be considered a quality opponent.

And if you look at thier 2014 schedule, they have 5 home games, and 7 road games. @Ark & @northwestern. Money games with no return game.

They also have 2 money games @Iowa in 2018 & 2020. No return games.

UNT has 2 things we have to work around as far as scheduling. Becoming a quality opponent, and bringing in enough revenue so there wont be a need for money games.

This is becoming depressing. ULL pulled ATM to Lafayette and we pulled Nichols State to Apogee. I like what we have with Army, but it's just Army. They haven't been good in years. I would be content with a close AAC school such as Memphis, Houston, or even Tulsa.

Yes, our AD really sucks at this.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      Dog shit excuse. It has nothing to do with anything. It's one of the same several excuses used in an attempt to put a curtain up and around the real problems.

      They do have a lot of advantages in that an entire region of the state is theirs.
