I’m with you, with one crucial point of clarification. We failed to get rid of Dodge, McCarney, and Littrel because it was financially difficult to buy them out…and we had FAR MORE people demanding we get rid of them than we had people giving to the MGSF and buying season tickets. Instead we sat around hoping a few big money donors would bail us out. I am not a rich man, by any stretch. But if every person bitching that we haven’t done enough to position ourselves for advancement gave at just my level…we’d be the #1 candidate to move up from the AAC guaranteed. We have far too many people who have for years had a “I’ll give if” or “I’ll attend if” attitude…and are now actually confused that we are in the spot we are in.

Simple. Fans that are committed to coming TO SEE NORTH TEXAS because North Texas is playing. Not because pf the opponent, not because of the stadium, not because it’s a late game or early game, not because it’s hot or cold, or because of some random promotion…we will sell out when our “fans” are committed to being there every time North Texas takes the field.

No, I just think we can’t have it both ways. Either we “embrace our history” or don’t get mad when people refer to us by a name we literally wear across our chests

For years now we have lamented that sportscasters can’t get our name right when they call us “North Texas State”, and hate when SMU calls us “NTSU”. But we sell this t-shirt (pictured below) at the stadium shop and love this design when we see it our head coach in an interview. 🤔 🤔

This is a great article. Now I wonder if the author can explain how Texas, who has every possible advantage, has a perpetual mantra of “this year we’re back…no, for real this time”

This one? Or this one? Or did you mean this one?

To add to this. 1. Do you rent or buy? 2. Thoughts on helmet stickers? 3. Nilla Wafer....cracker or cookie?

Let's not fall too much in love with the idea of Oregon State and Washington State coming to the AAC. "If Cal and Stanford are accepted into the ACC -- a possibility that hit roadblocks Wednesday evening -- there is a widespread expectation that Oregon State and Washington State would move to the MWC, sources told ESPN." Mountain West mulls next move as ACC decides on Cal, Stanford - ESPN

I love that Cowlishaw knocks Arizona and Arizona for lack of top 20 football finishes…but somehow forgets that Arizona has a national title, national title runner-up and four NCAA Final Fours (and multiple Elite 8’s) in basketball. Remind me, when was SMU’s last Final Four or Elite 8 appearance?

This is twice you’ve alluded to some kind of “insider” information that leads you to believe the ACC expansion is still a go…either post it or stop this nonsense

Based on……???

“Still no? Bring a guy you’re actually attracted to, and we’ll pay to watch the date from a distance”

Here’s the best part. Now there’s a poster over on punyfans who thinks they could still get to the ACC because…wait for it….NOTRE DAME MIGHT THREATEN TO PULL OUT OF THE ACC IF THEY DON’T INCLUDE THEM

AAC - 7M per school MWC - 4M per school

Big XII…not a chance PAC12…nope ACC…doesn’t look promising But don’t worry, there was always a grander plan at work that will show everyone just how relevant and desirable “Dallas’ team” is

If we spent $200M to join a league that shared zero revenue for 5-7 years…knowing full well it will be cannibalized by other leagues before that 5-7 years is up…just so we could say “look at us” while being laughed at by EVERYONE, I would want our AD fired immediately. Please stop pretending you are here to do anything more than fanboy SMU under the guise of being a “realistic” North Texas fan. It’s blatantly transparent and sad.

They're just happy not to house their coaches in double-wides anymore.

So, it’s settled. Don’t invite SMU to the conference, just pay them to rent out Ford Field six times a year. The ACC saves millions and literally NOBODY will miss seeing their favorite team.

I’d like it known, I will do whatever possible to be Supernan. I figure I should be flying and bulletproof by November at the latest.

Word is they’ve also thrown out the following to entice the ACC: - All games declared “road” games for SMU since the opposing teams’ fans will be the only ones in attendance anyway - SMU administrators will only speak when spoken to during meetings

I think this SMU guy is right. Aresco should start by dropping any school who hasn’t won a conference title in football in the past 38 years.
