In one season, we've moved from "Pillow fight of the century" as our opening game against SMU was deemed, to "comparable mediocrity." Neither term is exactly flattering, and given that every stupid bowl ranking system had us dead last before any games were played, but then found out we play some pretty exciting football, it's been a great year, and we've gotten good exposure and press.

Increase the student fee to $15,000 per semester per student, leave me to bask in the glory of fewer than 100 people at my current (paltry) donor level, bring home a P5 invitation and a national championship, bow before me and kiss my ring, or GTFO.

Remaining FCS Games: 2017 Lamar 2018 Incarnate Word 2019 Abilene Christian 2020 Houston Baptist 2021 Rhode Island Remaining Body Bag Games: 2017: Iowa 2018: Arkansas 2019 Wisconsin 2020: Texas A&M 2021: Missouri The good news is that I see a full six-game home schedule through 2021, and who knows, by 2021 we could be really good and Missouri could be on a down year! The Army series runs through 2021, SMU through 2025 assuming no buy-out, and Memphis home and home in 2022-2023.

Separate playoff and championship for FCS, G5 and P5, but implement a promotion/relegation system like British soccer. This would provide motivation for everyone involved and make things waaaaay more interesting come December.

We go to a G5 playoff, does that reduce a whole bunch of the 40 bowl games out there? I'm not inherently opposed to severing ties with the P5 altogether, but I think it should come with a refusal to play any further bodybag games. F'em.

I gotta go with all things defense. For all this vaunted offense we were supposed to have, it was the defense that won games or kept us close.

Delivered on December 21st indeed. Showed up on my doorstep today, December 29th. Thank you Tricia and Reggie for making it right and getting me in the game in the seat I purchased. I really appreciate that the ticket office administration is working hard to make things right. As for the kid on the front line of the ticket office phone line who basically said, "It's delivered," and proceeded to emphatically insist that I did indeed hold a ticket in my hand, well, I ask you, what in the HELL kind of advantage would I get in trying to screw the university out of the same ticket twice?

Got it on my phone

That's the 7:16 for me in Lewisville, then you take it to Trinity Mills, arrival 7:21, Green Line departure at 7:26. I might uber out to Lewisville and join you on that train. I'll text you if so and let me know which car you're in.

You got one I can use as a nuclear option backup just in case my replacement voucher isn't at will call tomorrow?

Walkup sales before the game is probably your only option, though you might check in at the morning tailgate first to see if they have any for sale from UNT. Don't worry fellas, it ain't gonna sell out.

Are you going tomorrow? Haven't seen you around in quite some time.

Fair point

Much obliged. Sometimes it's better to offer a solution than an accusation.

Call Tricia Drummond at 940-565-2580 . FedEx seems to have really dropped the ball on reporting tickets being delivered that weren't. If you call the regular ticket office number, they're likely to say, "Sir, your tickets were delivered." <click> Tricia is aware of ticket office history and is going out of her way to make things better going forward. The HOD made replacement vouchers for lost or misplaces tickets that she can have available for you at will call. You won't get your big shiny souvenir bowl ticket, but you'll get admission to the game in the exact seats you paid for. Someday, the UNT ticket office is going to get its act together and competently deliver tickets to those who purchased through approved channels in attempts to funnel money to UNT. Someday. Until then, get off the pedestal. There is nothing in OP's message that implies he purchased from an outside vendor at all.

I don't remember the 2014 ticket as I lost it out of my pocket during the game. Since my actual ticket will never exist this year and I'm attending on a replacement voucher, I'll never know. Tl;Dr don't know, don't care, paid to attend the game, not frame a ticket.

Of all the bowl games, this one makes the least sense to me because of expense and distance. Hawaii at least generally seems to have a local population who will attend.

Reggie and Tricia (Trisha?) to the rescue. Section 24, row 21. Ticket replaced and waiting at tailgate on Tuesday morning. This is a new, improved experience.

I'm not in town right now. Whom do I call?

UNT insists that my ticket was delivered on Wednesday. I was home all day on Wednesday. I don't have a ticket. This is once again awesome. Case still pending.

Are the lowers rows obstructed by the players on the sideline? Most older stadiums like that have a better view from a bit higher up.

Pollo Campero, Pollo El Regio, El Pollo Loco, the roasted chickens at El Rancho Supermarktet, not necessarily in that order.

I have no knowledge of Major Applewhite. Do we hate him? Has he spurned us? Shunned us? Laughed at us like Chip Kelly?

Clearly the inspiration for the latest album cover of Denton's own Hen and the Cocks No, seriously. Here's the link to the album (OK, EP)
