  1. It's all nostalgia for the SWC, when SMU gained legitimacy simply by being in the same conference as A&M and Texas. For some reason, 40 years of nothing doesn't impact that school as badly as it does ours.
  2. FIU by 10. I'd love to be wrong.
  3. Building our players won't work in the world of NIL and transfers. If our guys get good, they'll get recruited away. That leaves transfers. Colorado and Texas State just proved the case.
  4. Well . . . Other than the offensive line, defensive line, passing game, running game, and special teams we looked pretty good. The facilities are great, and I especially like having my choice of seats in the second half. That's a North Texas tradition we should keep.
  5. Did Washington State and Oregon State pop to the top of mind when folks mentioned the PAC? Not really -- they're in the same spot Rice or SMU was back in the SWC days. Members, but not the starpower of the league. If OS/WS can't bring the PAC name with them, they're just another set of mid-sized regional colleges on the level of UNT or Georgia State. I'm not sure they really move the needle that much. That's not saying I won't welcome them to the AAC, or that UNT shouldn't try to get into the PACx if it survives. I'm just saying that they aren't UCLA, and it shows.
  6. It's got to be a tough job to be a G5 Commish. Every team is looking to move on all the time.
  7. In similar news, I have decided to not pursue Katy Perry regarding an ongoing relationship. She's just not worth my time.
  8. Hurrah. Now will the ponyboys please leave this board?
  9. I'm *not* interested in SMU. The only concern I have is how the AAC is impacted. Frankly I'm hoping the ponyboys go away if the team changes conferences.
  10. A buddy and I had them for two decades or so. You got the same tickets to the Cup, Busch, Truck, and Indycar races. For a while it was a good deal, then TMS started offering extremely low cost tickets just before the races that weren't too much worse than ours. So why spend $$$$ per seat for season tickets when you could just cherry pick the races you wanted to see for $? It was even worse for some, for some seats there are also PSL charges. You can still buy season tickets there: https://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/events/season-tickets/
  11. There -is- a lot less competition for eyeballs this week, and they probably get some visibility and coverage they wouldn't otherwise. Jacksonville State looked surprisingly solid for their first season in FBS.
  12. This is a useful site: https://cfb.guide/ Eastern time, be aware
  13. Meh. Lesson learned. Next time I want to attend a "marquee" game I'll just wait for UNT to put the tickets on sale. But you have to wonder how many others just made that same decision.
  14. Just venting: Ticket office just sent an email offering "premium sideline" and "premium midfield" for the same price I bought my endzone tickets for when they first went on sale. Way to incentivize early engagement, management. The same type of behaviour made buying season tickets at Texas Motor Speedway uneconomical, and surprise, those ticket sales dropped.
  15. Add OSU/WSU by "merging" into the PAC. Then we get a shiny P5 badge too 🙂
  16. One would think the media partner would have some say in having to fork over another 70+ million. Do they get any veto over membership decisions? If not, expect that to be in every contract moving forward.
  17. Ok, thanks! That's a start, I didn't realize I had an account on the "evenue.net" website. I got in there and there's no tickets yet. So I suppose they're just not doing that at this time.
  18. "You will receive an email with links to access your tickets closer to the event. Fans will utilize their mobile phones to access their tickets and enter the venue on game day. Detailed instructions will be provided in future emails." Under 10 days out, and no further information. Is this normal for UNT athletics? I honestly don't know the process, so that's why I'm asking.
  19. It's been a while since I went to a game. What's the process now? I have my confirmation of purchase for both tickets and a blue pass for Cal, but have heard nothing further from the athletic dept (except for them trying to sell me tickets to Cal . . .)
  20. 30-27 UNT over OSU. September 16, 1995. They went 1-10, worse than our 2-9. The fun thing about that year? UNT had a local TV broadcast deal, with every away game on OTA.
  21. My grandad had a phrase that cut through the nonsense most of the time: "Them's that know ain't talkin', and them's that talkin' don't know." The people who can actually make changes are talking to each other and nobody else right now, and us on the outs will only know when things are done. So enjoy the ride but don't sweat the details.
  22. It's the kid of the owner of the original Flying Tomato. And in my personal opinion, the baby stuffed is exactly the same as it was back in the 80s.
  23. The first game is Sept 2, correct? I just got an email from the athletic department trying to sell shirts, and the email title was confusing to me.
