I'm not entirely sure that 75% is gonna cut it in today's NFL.

I try to avoid mentioning him, particularly with the moniker Jeremy Knott Good. It's difficult for me to fault a kid for going out for the team. I put it squarely on Dodge's shoulders for taking him on and pretty much having total and utter disregard for special teams and not bothering to develop him.

Totally disagree that this is a recent phenomenon. I remember Cal St. Fullerton and Pacific playing Michigan in the early nineties as well as San Jose St. going into Cal for their annual paycheck drubbing. There was one particular weekend in the fall of 1994 when I was into playing parlay cards (ahem..for recreational purposes only, of course) and I recall Pacific being a 55 point dog to some huge Big 10 team. I skipped that game because I couldn't decide if that spread was big enough or not. The google machine tells me that game was at Nebraska where they lost by 49 points and totes covered the spread. Further, the google machine tells me that 1995, Pacific's last season, they played #19 Arizona, #2 Nebraska, and #17 Oregon. If anything, I'd argue that money games have become less frequent.

Having a reliable kicker has probably been the most underrated improvement in this program in the last decade.

God I hate them (irony intended). I hope they get caught doing some Baylor shit.

If nothing else, I bet you could get access to the Fouts steps while they're still there.

Those standings are weird. My other alma mater finished slightly higher than UNT because of women's water polo. Another year, they finish MUCH higher because they won the national championship in men's volleyball, of which there are like six teams in the nation. Every sport pretty much carries the same weight in those standings. I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

All I have to say about this is that I really wish I'd been around to see Booger Kennedy play.

I was thinking the same thing. I really hope that he's not pushing himself beyond what's best for him in the long run. I know these kids have playing in their blood and that it's tough beyond measure to walk away.

I happened upon the picture on the left recently. Thought the two together looked pretty cool.

Post game fireworks launch pad.

Every time I read this board lately:

It seems to me that until you become a Nebraska or Alabama with multi-generational waiting lists for season tickets that have been sold out for decades, that while season tickets are super nice, they're probably not going to sustain a program. To date, I've never seen UNT do anything to substantially increase single game ticket sales. If anything, the first time I came to a game nine years ago, it felt pretty hostile all around. The great demise of the secret wristband societies in the move from Fouts to Apogee greatly improved the outside the stadium experience for the casual fan. Not sure what else, if anything, has really improved if you're not a parking pass holder/season ticket holder who knows exactly what to do and where to go. Now then, how to get there? Therein lies the step 1, step 2, step 3 ???, step 4 PROFIT! conundrum. Let's face it. It's a pain in the ass to get to Denton right now and will continue as such for a couple more years. How do you convince the casual fan to brave the 35 for what has historically been a subpar (and that's a GENEROUS classification) college football team? And don't anybody tell me free buckets of fried chicken or free bento boxes from the new sushi joint in town.

Man, they're killin' me with that right side only in the headphones. Yeah. I'm done. I can't deal with the cutting off one channel each time one of them speaks. Super poor production on the part of the podcast guy. As to dead weight hires, I have no problem whatsoever with the AD delegating responsibility and authority for ticket sales and service. Hopefully somebody will pay attention to that now.

This is a list of "Our ranking of our favorite teams in Texas when the Longhorns aren't good." Nothing more, nothing less. Move along, nothing to see here.

Right there withya.

And immediately upon the facebook release of this news, there's a girl who's pissed and says this is disrespectful to the Texas state flag. Fun part? She was a UNT student.

So the conference you're entering picks up the tab for the conference you're leaving?

Take this article with a grain of salt if you wish, but it's what comes up when I google CUSA exit fees. Not cheap. They're claiming about $5.6 million as of 2016. Link

You probably have a point on travel, but looking up the 1998 Big West football standings, current members of MWC who were in Big West then are Nevada, Boise, and Utah St. The rest of the MWC was more or less in the WAC back then before Karl Benson blew it up the first time. Crikey! Looking up UNT's schedule that year, six OOC games, four of them on the road. We played Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Arizona St, A&M, Houston, and Kansas! The whole damn season was a body bag game!

I was in there earlier this month. It's kinda just..empty.

And the dopest.

And eventually, it's nothing but a bunch of dudes in Alabama uniforms playing with themselves.
