I think they can get to the conference finals if Howard continues to play well , but if they run into LA it's over.

I agree 100% with what you are saying ,SBama will not be able to compete for a Conference football title however till 2013 I believe. I just think 8K is a very impressive number consdidering that this University was created 1964 , has less than 15K students and only has a almuni total of just over 60,000. Compared to UNT : created in 1890 , 34K students and a alumni somewhere near 200,000 ( more than 1/2 of which still live in the dfw area) We did have something new with our spring game . I thought with new info on the stadium we would have more folks who cared. I guess most people will not " believe it " until dirt is moved

Aren't we tight with Lamar U. Didn't we host some of their students during a hurricane ?

True, but what's our excuse for not having more fans ?? I mean shouldn't we too be exciting about our upcoming football season while hearing info on our new stadium? Silly , no. I think some do not want to admit that one day South Alabama will be in our conference and if we don't improve they will steam roll us just like the FIUs of the world. We like to look down on teams like this like we are better than they are , but I bet 6/7 years ago most were rolling your eyes about the thought of teams like FIU and FAU before they joined the Belt

It was not even close to that

I agree that spring attendance means almost nothing , but Troy's game was cut short by heavy downpours of rain and and only lasted a little over an hour. I just think they (SBama) may have already gained a stronger fanbase than what we have. Our spring game was in perfect weather , we were having a big event to show off our new stadium and this program has been around since father time...all that and we got maybe 2000 in attendance. I know the school listed a much higher number , but if you were actually there you would know the real number. This team has done nothing and already has 8,000 fans to back up their team for a scrimmage.

That looks pretty even if you ask me for being a team starting up.NCSt & KState is a wash , they have a body bag game vs Tenn , we have a body bag game vs Bama. We have a 4 game series with Army & they have a 4 year series with a service academy. I'm sure they can find comparable opponents with the powerhouses we have lined up like Ohio U , Ball St , Rice & SMu to do home and homes with. They had 8,000 at their spring game , about 4 x the amount we had. I'd say they are moving in the right direction.

They can be on the schedule as early as 2011 & will be a full time SUNBELT football member by 2013.

I'd like to nominate this thread for the HOF. Looking back I got a lot of good laughs out of it.

I think we have made several friends over the past few seasons. Just about everyone would be willing to play us and some would even go so far as to start taking knees for us by the end of the 3rd quarter or early in the 4th.

USAFOOTBALL Impressive info on a team that hasn't even taken it's 1st snap yet. Looks like they are moving in the right direction. Already have a 2 for 1 deal with NC State with the Wolfpack traveling to Mobile in 2015. *Also if you want to scout , Bama spring game currently airing on ESPN.

A UNT conference timeline for some who may not know : 1940 : Lone Star 1950 : Gulf Coast Conference 1960 : MVC 1970 : MVC 1980 : D IA Independent 1990 : Southland 2000 : Big West 2010 : SunBelt 2020 : ??????? Seems like we are like nomads

I agree on that idea , but it would make too much sense. Something the NCAA doesn't have.

What's the Other votes for ?? No Football ?

In UNT terms I think it would be more along the lines of a 1 year Tyrus Thomas vs a 4 year Josh White. I think I would lean towards White , but Thomas would of single handly put us in the Dance with JJ probably being lured away by a another school.

Looking down the road in 10 years , where will UNT stand ? For those wanting BIG XII as a option please put down your Green Kool Aid. Talk amongst yourself.

But can she kick ass like this Chyna ??

Surprised no1 has posted this yet. Your thoughts , love him or hate him ?

like a 4 year Justin Barnett ?

This Harris went to play over seas ? HARRIS I'm guessing we won't see Mangrum again , but it's just a guess

The Washington kid from LA is also a football recruit. I knew I remembered that name when I saw your list there. Shows he has offers from Miss St , La Tech & Tulane , but no idea if those are for football or bb
