I really don't see the Big East going away. In fact I think they are more attractive with an SMU, Houston and UCF in the mix. They are going after big markets and plan on holding onto their AQ status. Who wants us first MW or CUSA? GMG

This thread is so "Mine is bigger than yours." I hope we move up in conference stature because that would make 3 solid upward moves by the Metroplex programs. I think that is great and we want amazing football to be played here. I have been to Amon Carter and SMU. Have we had any hidden ponies at Apogee on gameday? If so I welcome their outside thoughts. This area is sports rich and we are only growing stronger! GMG

Actually basketball season in Albuquerque and Las Vegas is quite exciting. In fact, living in LV it is like having back to back football seasons with how exciting it can get. A cold desert night inside the Thomas and Mack with a winter brew is one of my favorite experiences and definitely ties me over to spring when we get to get pumped about fball season. Still want SMU to GOOOOOOOOO! Our time is near! GMG

Me too. But I am not convinced he has full reign of the O. I want more for sure but I think comparing this role in this regime is not the same as evaluating him as our head coach. I am not ready to kick him to the curb. DM owns this whole thing and he will be held accountable for the results as he should as the HC. He will make tough decisions if need be and I still believe in the collective group we have. We have a chance to go to 3-1 at Apogee this weekend. That in and of itself is a really nice. I would love a road win and a 4-0 mark too, but we have often had to wait until the end of November to get to 3 wins and we may 3 or 4 before Halloween. Outstanding! BRING IT THIS WEEKEND! Be Loud! Let them hear us at the Ballpark in Arlington! gmg

It's not any old game. It's the World Series. I say promote this dual game situation. The team will have to deal with it and still go out and win. It is up to them to grab our attention. If not this game will have 15K which is sad for homecoming. Get creative and find a way to draw the Rangers fans in too. GMG

Look at us trying to lick up to TSU to get into a conference with them. WOW. Can next Saturday come soon enough! Not to mention you take our bbal team into basketball venues that regularly draw 17k (The Pit) and UNLV which outdraws most to all bball progams in the west and you are in a better league. I say kill the WAC and develop a new conference but joining a WAC with Idaho, SJSU and USU is a tragic thought. If we really want to be in a league with UTSA and TSU form a new league but this let's try to join a league so we can keep up with TSU and UTSA is frankly offensive. GO MEAN GREEN!!!!! P.S. - love the post about support your team. The homily today was entitled: Endurance Leads to Hope. Nut it up Nation and support this awesome team. We have risen from ashes before and we will do so again. GMG

Just fix those announcers - the mean greenies or mean greeners whatever he was calling us? are a bunch of avalanches being thrown into the board or how about taking a tackling the marshall thundering herds:) seriously -good game - good team - go get them. GMG

Beer in the stands could be a HUGE revenue builder. I don't drink beer at UNLV games but I see it flying off the counters and the registers smoking. I am not sure why we pretend college athletics is not big business. It is not big business, it is MONSTER business. It is all about personal responsibility and trusting people to be adults. Those that are not will have a nice ride home by the DPD. It is time to bring the full pro experience to Apogee. GMG

Who is flying into Texas first with stops in DFW and SAT? If I were the MWC or CUSA (I know they are here), I would be on the horn with North Texas and UTSA to grab DFW and San Antonio. CUSA is the best poised to have Houston SAT and DFW wrapped up, but the MWC could swoop in and undercut first if they wanted to. I believe both programs will go to whoever knocks on the door first. Las Vegas Reno San Diego Laramie Fort Collins Albuquerque Honolulu Fresno DFW San Antonio or San Antonio DFW Houston Tulsa El Paso Huntington Carolina New Orleans Memphis Hattiesburg

Love the Rangers but college football > baseball North Texas Mean Green Football >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> baseball I bought 6 plane tickets from Vegas to enjoy the best 6 days of the year. They could play at 9:00 AM or 11 PM and I would be on the hill. Let's take that next step - road game win - big conference road game win tomorrow! GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!

Prejeans for a meal at some point for sure. GMG NATION! Rise us up tomorrow! GMG

Happy Birthday to the best. Thank you for your Mean Green inspiration! GMG

My first time clan I took to the game this weekend had a blast too and it wasn't even the atmosphere of Houston and Indiana. I think that bodes wonderful. They loved the tailgate and rain drama at the end of the night. Of course North Texas has won 2 of their last 3 games so the win was something new too. Confident they will be back! GMG P.S. - our mission should be to bring new folks every single game.

Thank you I will take credit for that even though it is the white guy at our tailgate who cooks like a Mexican. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm! Attendance was rough and what a shame because they missed an awesome game! However, the Rangers were too much. I overheard some students saying they wanted to watch the Ranger game and were thinking about heading over to Fry to watch it. Once the weather got weird I think that was the signal. I think people just didn't come to the stadium today because it was dead hours before kickoff. Also, I don't recall us having a game on Texas OU weekend very often. I remember thinking we were always lucky that way. Of course we were messed up on Thanksgiving weekend too many times to count. Tough weekend anyway and when the Rangers won which is great I knew it was going to make impact. What a game and for 13k inside that stadium we still forced time outs with our noise. Love it! GMG

An SMU North Texas rivalry as conference mates would be good for both programs and the league. Get Arkansas State or MTSU to rival with Memphis and now you are developing some good regional CUSA rivalries. I would still rather play the Lobos, Rebels, Falcons, Cowboys, Bulldogs, Wolf Pack and Warriors, but planting instant nasty rivalries would interject some emotion into an otherwise listless Conference USA. Who in CUSA could be ticked off: SMU - invite North Texas UAB - invite Troy Tulane - invite La La Memphis - invite MTSU and or Arkie State Let's beat FAU and enhance our chances. Need to keep winning and showing up strong Mean Green Nation! Increase your tailgate camps by 2-4 peeps this weekend! GMG

I love the wings. They are distinctive. We have a green turf and wings - so take that Boise! GMG

I think this is great for TCU and it is nice to feel the old SWC again. However, don't you think Tech is licking their chops at playing TCU every year. I think Baylor will be able to stay ahead of the Frogs as well. I think it is great for the frogs that they get back into the footprint, they have worked hard for that. However, I don't think they ever play close to a championship again. With that said now that TCU will take a back seat in wins in the coming years, we only need to worry about a surging SMU. I don't see this as a bad thing for North Texas. It is time to go grow our own brand outside of the Sun Belt and hopefully in the MWC or Big East. We don't need to tear down TCU to make the Mean Green stronger. My only point here is that TCU is not Boise that can consistently beat the big dogs. We don't know if Boise could do it in the big leagues either. But remember who TCU just climbed into bed with. Do you really think Texas ever plans on letting them become the strongest football team in the state? I believe it will be: Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech SMU TCU Baylor Houston North Texas UTEP Rice

We need to win because: 1. We must protect this house! How great would it be to go above 500 at our new home and keep it building. I don't care if we only have 15,000 at the game we had better make NOISE! We are impacting games folks and small passionate Mean Green fans can bring it. 2. I have doubled the tailgate crowd from 5 to 10 so some Apogee first timers. I am convinced the students like these hot and fun 6 parties on the hill this fall and I believe they will be back. DPD will be busy on fraternity row again. So if we all bring our A game this weekend I believe we squeak out another win. I am seeing another 24 - 20 type score. GMG

I hated the loss and I hate playing Tulsa. But they will finish near the top of CUSA. I see UCF down, Houston bizarre, SMU up - they will have a good rest of the way like we will. They saw a win and went and grabbed it, much like we did against Indiana. I plan on seeing a pent up bunch of Mean Green madness unleashed on FAU on Saturday. Be there as we go over 500 in Apogee. Bring friends we are going to need to beef up the crowd on such a big DFW weekend. GMG

The Belt could be trouncing the Big 12 and some would say the Belt is down. We stand a chance, but the Belt is up brothers and sisters. We need to come prepared to compete with FAU. I bet we will. GMG

What is the lovefest and protectionism of McNulty. I mean he didn't say anything about the player that actually made plays. what a joke. D - Mac better show us something next week - see how this team responds. GMG

I hate playing Tulsa. They always kick our arse and are really a lackluster program, especially this year. I felt this tulsa onslaught coming and it is just a frustrating game to watch. No to Houston, No to Tulsa - that style consistently kills us! GMG

I really don't like SMU but they are looking like vintage Hawaii of old with more D less offensive precision. TCU pretty spoiled and they are sinking at the wrong time, right when the B12 is looking at them. On the whole I like the Frogs more than SMU, but SMU is bringing it. Lets go Beat Tulsa! GMG

Well the fact we have a shot at the Sunbelt title after being 0-1 is excellent and if we take care of business next Saturday we will continue in title desperation mode the following week. Thank you LaLa. GMG
