I don't blame SMU. I'm not too happy about having to play Sun Belt teams either.

"I have no personal investment in this team or school any longer" Sad

Congratulations on graduating from (in my biased opinion) the best university in the greatest state in the union.

Well, I'm sure getting tired of living my Sun Belt present.

I'd be willing to bet that on 24 November 2013 the Mean Green will be in either cUSA or the MWC. We'll all be posting about needing to be in the Big East & how SMU is keeping us out by nefarious means. We'll be bitching about only being 8 and 3. Someone will suggest that our coach, our offensive coordinator, our AD, or our President has to go. God bless Texas!

A 'New Southwest Conference' would be nice. Composed of IA schools from Texas, Louisiana (south Louisiana, not north Louisiana), Oklahoma, & New Mexico, we could have reduced travel costs, regional rivalry, and be associated with better academic institutions. Ain't likely to happen of course, but then neither was Apogee. List of best-to-worst case scenarios 1) cUSA 2) MWC 3) new regional conference 4) WAC 5) independence 6) a good 5A Texas HS conference 7) Sun Belt

The circumstance being that we were playing a small, obscure Kentucky school that no-one in Texas cares about?

Small school with a supporter with deep pockets. They'll survive in the Southland as long as their sugar-daddy is selling cars. God bless Texas

There's always a hope we'll play someday in the new Baylor stadium, so it is sort-of UNT related. Also, it's nice to compare our new digs with that proposed for the Baptists. The Baylor rendering is nice but Apogee is better. Anyway, the proposed Baylor stadium looks great. I can hardly wait to sit back, enjoy a cold Shiner Bock, and watch a Mean Green victory. God bless Texas!

There are teams in the Lone Star Conference that I'd rather play than UL Monroe or MT. I would prefer cUSA but if the MWC is the only way out of the sbc, then sign me up. God bless Texas!

Good topic. My first thoughts were that, in all honesty, my support of UNT athletics would almost certainly decline if we stay in the Belt. Staying in the SBC means our leadership failed. I can accept a QB who fails to make a play in the 4th Quarter or a point guard who fails on a FT attempt. I can't accept a AD or President who fails to sell our wonderful university. There are no legitimate excuses left to stay in the Sun Belt. My second thoughts, after reading some of the posts above, is that of course I will continue to support UNT athletics. I won't be happy - but I'll still support the Mean Green. God bless Texas!

I pray to the football gods that soon I never again have to worry about the SunBelt. God bless Texas!

Personally, I like seeing reminders that firing DD was the second biggest mistake UNT ever made, and that the biggest mistake was hiring TD. I'm just vindictive that way. Thanks Vito!

Foolish, maybe, but constitutionally guaranteed. We should all be happy there are people who care enough to protest. Even if we disagree with their point of view the simple exercize of their rights is a defense of all our rights. Scream on Tea Partier! I disagree with much of what you say and I laugh at your candidates but I'm glad you care enough to speak out. God bless Texas!

Somebody needs to warn Senator McCarthy. His job obviously ain't done. Damn Commies!

The time change hurt some fans and helped others. For me it allowed me to watch two teams that I care about. If I had been made to choose between watching the Rangers in the World Series or watch my Mean Green play La-Monroe I'm afraid I would have had to miss the Sun Belt game. I suspect a lot of fans would have made the same decision. So kudos to RV for making the move. God bless Texas!

Great photos! I agree the shots of the students would be a great ad. It ought to be plastered all over campus. God bless Texas!

Compare yesterday's effort, attitude, & results with what we had under Coach Dodge. The players are mostly the same - the difference is the coaching. God bless Texas!

It's not fair or productive to pick on the Greeks. There are lot's of students, alumni, and Denton residents who ought to be more involved with UNT. We have a university that deserves our support. ALL of us should do what we can to get the word out about our football, basketball, volleyball, and - not most of all - our academics. We have a university that deserves our support and our pride. God bless Texas!

Congratulations to SMU on their move to the Big East. I hope you have great success and I expect you will. I would rather Texas schools played Texas opponents in a Texas conference, but that ain't the way the game's played today. Kick butt. God bless Texas!

Because politics is totally irrelevant to whether a poster supports The University of North Texas or not. Making cracks about liberals or conservatives, Obama or Palin alienates part of our fan base. A base that is not robust enough to afford losing even a single fan. As for the other "stupid stuff" feel free to disparage my religion - we Druids are very thick skinned. God bless Texas

MWC > cUSA >>>>>>> SBC

The reason UTSA is drawing well is, in big part, due to the novelty. Next year they'll have a hard time drawing 33K for a team like Bacone - or SWTSU for that matter. Having said that, I'd be happy to play UTSA every year. I'm happy to play any respectable team from Texas. God bless Texas

No, my goal for UNT isn't FCS. My goal is a respectable FBS conference. Realistically that means cUSA or MWC. I don't believe UNT can get there from the Sun Belt. I think our best chance at moving up is to move out of the Belt. If that means going independent with all the problems that entails - so be it.
