FWST Realignment Article - NOW I'M CONFUSED!
Aquila_Viridis replied to UNTflyer's topic in Mean Green Football
Are you insinuating that the actualities of college football conferences move faster than our bureaucracy?! -
Texas State Fans discuss move to Belt
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
No what failed them is not having PUF $$ that UT System institutions have. We should not make the conference of UT System droppings better by joining it. Austin will make sure those programs in SA and EP never rise farther than they need to in order to help choke the likes of us. -
ODU may not be done: MTSU could be replacement?
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
MWC Air Force Colorado State Wyoming Nevada UNLV Fresno State New Mexico Utah State San Jose State Hawaii CUSA Rice Louisiana Tech Tulane Tulsa Southern Miss UTSA UAB ECU UTEP FIU I agree there are some particular desirables on the CUSA list, but overall the MW is a better list. -

Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
Interest of a few in attending away games is not going to make a difference how NT is perceived. And right, either one is going to have some junk, but the New CUSA has a large proportion of junk. But even Utah State, I have seen their stadium full on TV in recent years. The MWC did well for TCU, though certainly TCU did a great job of leveraging the opportunities there. If you list the teams that will be in either conference, the MWC is a better-looking list to be on. And if it's of any interest to you, when I read about how CUSA responded to the UT System's reaction to poor ol UTSA's plight, for some reason I got the same feeling I did when they announced Todd Dodge and I was DAMN right about that. -

Old Dominion is the Texas State of Virginia. UTSA, ODU, FIU, MT .... this is not exciting. Please please Lord, deliver us from this and put us in the MWC.- 56 replies

Texas State Fans discuss move to Belt
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
This is a totem pole. The ones below can only move up if we move down. Is that what you want? -
No. Hopefully it means we go replace TCU in MWC. That stuff about an inside job sounds like the kind of thing that could happen here too. However I am hopeful that our administrators are keeping clear of the UT (Texas not Tennessee) influence.

Regents to vote on UTSA to C-USA - ESPN
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
Great. We would be joining a conference that is beholden to the UT System. That would not go well. -
On the other hand it kind of shows you where Marshall U stands in the mind of the common man. As someone who attended 2 years of Jr. High in Marshall TX, I can only hope that the Marshall U's approach to education is diffurnt. (OK OK it wasn't really so bad and there are truly some super nice people over there.)

UTEP Moving To MWC Per Mike Price
Aquila_Viridis replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
I prefer Louisiana Tech over UTEP. And y'all carrying on about UTSA and TS: there is not enough talent to support that many D1 schools in this one area of the country. Those two need to die off. We should do everything possible to make it happen, because NT is the one that will get hurt the worst by the competition in recruiting. Stop mentioning them. And if you are their supporter pretending on here, you can go to Conference*HELL. Those are crappy schools by comparison and we should not be associated with them. Sure Rice can say the same about us, and they probably do so. -
I will only support being in anything with Middle if our name is unfortunately changed to Upper Texas.

One of the biggest hire's in UNT history?
Aquila_Viridis replied to bstnsportsfan3's topic in Mean Green Basketball
WOW this is an impressive accomplishment! What a vote of confidence for North Texas. Go to some womens BB games next season and show support. -
UNT, FIU, Utah State "done deals" for Alliance ?
Aquila_Viridis replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
You can quote this source as saying that TS and SA are uselessly siphoning valuable state resources and along with TT should be rolled into the UNT System and athletics discontinued at those subsidiary campuses. -
Still happening but they changed it to a Coaches Carousel.

Oh and let me add stAte to that list too. -
La. Tech getting CUSA/MWC visit tomorrow
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
I'd rather see LT in CUSA with NT, more than some of the existing CUSA members. -
Lack of vision and commitment.

Hockey, no. But those other teams, Virginia for example has. We don't want to be like them? One of the highest ranked public universities. What is your vision for North Texas?

UT hasn't finished their inside job on us. They won't rest until we're lining up against Abilene Christian. They may not even rest then! And here's something you can actually control instead of speculating. Get more alumni to donate money to UNT. We have an abysmal percentage of people giving and it differentiates us from better schools. Plus more money means more horsepower. We need a baseball team, a lacrosse team and a mens soccer team.

Utah State emerges as serious candidate to join Mountain West
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
In other news, the Podunk Gazette is reporting that Podunk State is possibly a leading contender to join a possible conference sometime between now and 2020. -
Just love the sick feeling of another North Texas conference final effort. And some conference it is. Let me know when we have a coach who knows how to have the team pass the ball in a purposeful manner, get it inside and not take bad shots.

Would you prefer Texas State, UTSA, Both or Neither?

There it is, people. Summed up right there. -
There are a girl in my junior high who...

I bet she had to put out. What does that mean for us? Also, can you provide some before and after pictures? -
TCU drug bust includes 4 football players
Aquila_Viridis replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
So was the officer actually employed by Baylor or do they just have an informal arrangement? -
I know some people don't like the whole idea of university rankings but it is better to use the US News rankings than just one criterion. It looks at a variety of factors.
