Not all extensions are created equal. This is a home run! I was in Hawaii when Smastrek worked some magic then in Vegas when he did unlv well. Now at unt he sees our position as highly favorable and will continue to do great things for good the green and white. I am optimistic about our new b ball coach to come and ad in the wings. Dr. Smastrek the real deal and glad to see some commitment here! It's all good and it's all Green! gmg

Great for coach staying busy. GMG

I really don't understand how you think this is an unreasonable prediction. Just because it's not your 1-11 you freak and say "you can't have that!" you are so liberal sometimes. for that the prediction just got 10 feet taller! 6-7 wins baby! GMG

That sounds so awesome! I have been to Air Force and would love to add this experience to my away game bucket list. Tennessee was awesome last year. GMG

Exactly. Last year was the worst team I had seen since following for 29 years. We will not be that bad and will be knocking on door for bowl game. Get there not sure but 4-5 wins yes 6 with some creativity. I personally feel we will look like tech where we score and can't stop a feather. So outscore them boys. gmg

A refreshing post in many ways because I do feel UNT has come a long way. With that said I also feel a change at the AD level is beyond due. It will happen when his contract is up and until then it appears a lot of power has been pulled from his hands and that is a good thing for UNT and us fans. But the power has to be intoxicating. Much like Washington people who gain access and visibility are not quick to let it go. In fact they fight tooth and nail to stay in the inner circle. The problem is our leader inside the circle is weak and needs to go. But the power is intoxicating. Raise your bar big money donors. Don't think small. Think of how sweet and amazing it will be to be inside of the inner circle of a winning program. You have power of influence here and I hope you choose to use it for good. Put more demands on this guy like the power programs do. UNT is a goldmine of opportunity but it will take a peppering demand from all sides to get the most out of the controller. Smastrek does it, the fans are doing it, the 17 need to do it and I know we will ascend to a greater place. GMG

Good for Rice. I would not want any part of this. 1. Texas will find a way to win. It's Texas and they do what they do. 2. Texas needs Houston exposure so this could be much more about the great AD at Texas vs the AD at Rice. 3. 2 games at Texas - 2 more miserable losses to that fanbase. No thank you. I would be more interested in getting the game at the Cotton Bowl during the Fair than a game at AT & T. GMG

It only matters how much you dislike that other team. Michigan state hates Michigan but osu is the big blue rival. I dislike utsa and smu regardless whether they despise losing to us or not. And they will! gmg

I feel no connection or passion against Texas state. I think Utep and utsa and rice feel more like rivals than state. Heck I feel more passion against nmsu and Arlie state than the Bobcats. Rivalry games to me: 1. Smu 2. Utsa but dislike them more 3. Rice 4. Utep 5. Arkie state gmg

Agreed. I think a reorganization of AAC CUSA and SBC would be smart: New Mexico State UTEP SMU UNT Houston Rice UTSA Texas State La Tech Louisiana Ark State Memphis Next 3 in: Tulsa, Tulane, Southern Miss Even in crossover games I would find these games interesting. GMG

It's hard enough to build rivalries with some of those eastern schools anyway. What is an old dominion? How we have never played this school in fball is wild to me. GMG

Football is a different animal but I can honestly say I love all the other sports too. These kids put in hard work, long hours and time to earn schollys at any university. Some get the big daddy programs and others get secondary programs, but the same work goes into the challenge. If the 30 monster programs want to become semi-pro go for it. That still leaves 100 programs that simply want to develop athletes, field competitive sports and feed rivalries. Not the worst thing in the world for us fans and for the thousands of athletes we cheer on. GMG

His story is fantastic and I am so glad he has Green blood flowing through his veins. Smart and wise young man with amazing upside and fantastic adventures ahead. GMG

I must say that I was really turned off by how commercialized the Football Final Four has become. I watch college football because it is not the NFL. I don't watch much NFL anymore and the more ESPN'ed this thing gets the more disinterested I get. I cannot be alone here. It really makes me appreciate gamedays in Denton and the purity of the college sport. Maybe its why I have always loved watching MWC sports and now I look forward to the WKU Marshall bash every year. God Bless the Mean Green. GMG

Loved that national championship game. Lived up to its billing and watching it in a Vegas local bar was awesome! nice job SEC

You have the Latin points down and I love me some fiesta but at first read it sounded Like they would only hire a Hispanic coach. Different. I think their pay range will get some looks for sure regardless of ethnicity. GMG

New Year's Day 6 beat florida Win cusa drill Kfc Go Bowling! GMG

I do like find your cawwwwwws

There are so many people on this board I would not hire simply based on the fact they think things are hard or can't be done. Challenging yes impossible, NO. I have been waiting for believers in the Mean Green to lead us to Greener pastures! gmg

Wore my unt gear in San Antone this weekend with pride this week. GMG

Sec still wear big boy pants and big 12 is still a pretty team league. Not even northwestern could hold Tennessee under 40. GMG

I believe Littrell was the better hire because of what 90 mercilessly preaches. He does a lot with the talent he has and does not work with the riches of a power program like oh u. Emmit,classic. GMG

Kelly in Austin and Herman in college station would be smart for those programs. gmg

If I were Texas state I would have applewhite on a plane straight to Austin international.

I got a mean green pair of shorts and fleece which were sweet. then the delicious one: a program and mean green shirt from this years utsa win. Friend was nervous buying it in advance of the game but took a chance. I was checking scores from Koh Samui and remember that awesome update with the "final" next to it! Down went kfc mean green V!!!
