ADLER

I wouldn't be surprised to see James Proche Jr transfer after this news. He's also graduating with a year of eligibility remaining and the coaches in Austin are well aware of his talent. The loss of Hicks would almost certainly reduce Proche's role at SMU next season but he could be a difference maker on a much larger stage at UT and drastically enhance his draft value.

How comical. Les was laughing all the way to the bank....UTA football. It would be like Buzz Armstrong being hired to advise Jamaica on their proposed manned space program.

Thank you for putting this event together.

Vols have OL coach that they are happy with, Briles wants to bring his from Houston. Could this be a deal breaker?

Wren! So Wren has now officially joined Khan!, Wilson!, and Will Wheaton! on the list of powershout names?

I too feel like this is a legitimate target, especially considering his history with the AD and his outstanding record since that same AD had hired him NDSU.

Then that same SCUMBAG school turned around stabbed in the back the very schools that had stooped to help them. USU can burn in hell for all I care, and take Karl and Rance with them. I hate that we are having to associate with them on any level. They have proven themselves to be pure trash.

The Frisco Bowl had to find an alternate for the AAC and has scheduled Ohio vs San Diego State for the December 19 bowl game. Wren, please try to trade with SDSU before any travel plans are made.

possibly maybe but probably doubtful.

Sorry guys, I apologize. Horrid news. This has been a very anticlimactic bowl announcement. I guess I should have seen this coming when we went up by 17 in the bowl selection process. .

perfect television weather

🤮 Just great, and we'll also get the honor of interacting with the scumbag Benedict Arnold school. Wren should have learned a little history before letting this happen.

This would be horrible. Few fans from either of those schools are going to spend Christmas Day travelling to Dallas for the First Responders Bowl.

I second that. The worst of all possible scenarios. Yuk! That's the kind of place you'd send a school like UTSA.

It's starting right now on ESPN with the Playoff Selection Show and the bowls will then start announcing their selections accordingly. Who get which bowls, and who gets the sad UTSA treatment and gets left out? (UTSA 2017) In which bowl will UNT be playing? Is it time to start making travel plans, book flights and hotels, or get to plan bowl parties and tailgating for a local venue? Stay tuned, and Happy Bowl Selection Day to all. Keep your fingers crossed.

Same New Jersey station had this: FIRST RESPONDER BOWL (Dec. 26): Duke vs. Marshall Let's think for a minute. ESPN owns both bowls and desperately wants to sell tickets. Which CUSA school is ESPN going to put in the FIRST RESPONDER BOWL in Dallas? Even the Independence Bowl would select North Texas before inviting this combo: INDEPENDENCE BOWL (Dec. 27): Virginia vs. Middle Tennessee

It would, but it didn't happen that way. We still had a very good season just not as good as it could have been. We've won 9 games in consecutive seasons. I have followed North Texas football for decades and think that not only is this one of the better eras, things are only looking even better for the future. It could always be worse. We could be like New Mexico, UTSA, and Tulsa; strapped with lame duck coaches that they cannot afford to fire.

The Texas State fees for athletics are much higher than at UNT. I believe they are at $22 per credit hour, which is around $660 per full time student per year. With 29k students, that's an athletic budget of $20 milllion from students, and that's in addition to donations, ticket sales, and media. Their athletic budget is very similar to UTSA's even though very few attend Texas State games, and their athletic budget is significantly higher than a school like SMU or Tulsa.

FBS teams to never trail by more than one possession all season:- Alabama- North TexasThat’s it.

The national media respects Notre Dame and BYU as P5 level football programs and somewhat with Boise St as well.

Next game is Wednesday December 5, 6:00 PM at Iowa State University in Ames Iowa. I wish this could have been in Denton but Ames probably has better weather and airport accessibility. https://cyclones.com/news/2018/12/1/volleyball-isu-unt-nivc-quarterfinal-set-for-dec-5-6-pm.aspx "The winner of the match will advance to the semifinal round to play the winner of UNLV and Portland. The date, time and site of the match will be announced following the conclusion of the semifinal between the Rebels and Pilots."

It looks like Colby Carthel is accepting the SFA head coaching job: http://footballscoop.com/news/source-colby-carthel-new-head-coach-stephen-f-austin/

I like their research, especially the part about how Vic Trilli took North Texas to the NCAA Tourney.

You guys did a great job flooding the twitter. That needs to continue until the metroplex media outlets figure out that that there are more than five times as many North Texas grads in D/FW than from any other football playing school.
