Vito pointed out he tried to get McCasland to ACU and was a huge part of McCasland coming here when he was at ArkSt, so I'll give Mosely that one. Unfortunately I think Scott Cross is off the table

This is how it should be for the rest of time. These are our two best programs at UNT right now.

We were always ahead of the curve when it came to athletic attendance

Yeah I wouldn't compare us to the Big East. Basketball is only game in town there and as another poster said there's a history there.

24. With 8 byes.

G5 NIT Top 24 schools. All games at home sites (neutral site games are dumb) Byes for conference champs (and maybe second place) Army, Tulane Navy Memphis Jax State, WKU SHSU Liberty Miami (OH), Ohio, BGSU, Buffalo UNLV Colorado State Fresno SJSU Louisiana Marshall JMU GA Southern Wild Card: Uconn- TX state, Ark State, ECU maybe thats too many, but could be fun.

billionaires. lots and lots of billionaires.

We know better than anyone that Karen Aston can freakin coach

Also, I love this sentence: In the '60s and early '70s, Hayden Fry had just three winning seasons in 11 years at SMU, going 49-66-1 before becoming a legend at Iowa. Casually forgetting his 40-23 record with us including the last time we were ranked 😞

Every article I read about SMU references how much these billionaires remember the good ole days of success and how motivated they were to find that again. There's a sense of care that obviously anyone who posts here has, but the general alumni seems.... less than enthused. I think there are plenty of alumni who talk fondly about our 4 straight NO Bowls (even though we went 1-3) but I feel like those 4 years don't quite move the needle like the Pony Express did. I fondly remember during my years beating OSU in basketball and the 2 NCAA berths, but most of my alumni friends excluding @Jason Howeth could have cared less.

this is either genius or really stupid. All depends on who he brings for his coordinators and his approach to NIL It is kinda funny they moved on from a 73 year old to hire a 72 year old.

Couldn't have been awarded to a better ambassador for UNT. Congrats @UNT 90 Grad - hopefully my friend (and alumni) who just started at your work connected with you like I told her to.

Ha, note that I didn't say anything on the actual outcome of the game lol

all 3 points still stand regardless if our starting QB left

We were all fretting about New Mexico or Florida, but honestly for a team that lost 5 straight and hung on to beat a bad Temple team to get bowl eligibility, we did amazing with our bowl destination 1. Date- a Friday after NYD, 3 PM, many folks havent officially started their working year yet, nothing else on 2. Location - Dallas, a smaller stadium (full stadium looks better on TV), most of our alumni are here , also accessible by public transit 3. Opponent- Texas State- who filled the stadium last year, and who travels well and is an in state foe I dont know who we bribed to make this happen, but its way better than having to go to the myrtle beach bowl... though I feel bad for our players they dont get to travel

money talks haha

Ranked 17th in the country academically. Love my university but I'd take that degree in a heartbeat

SMU knows their strengths and plays to them. Kudos to them. No different in the private sector- you gotta pay for talent, who otherwise wouldn't go to your company. They paid players sure, but Dykes slowly established a recruiting infrastructure that Lashlee expanded. Decent coaching matters too. We haven't beaten SMU since 2018- and the games haven't been close. I'd love for us to even have 1/10 of the infrastructure SMU does.

(2nd epic fumble) the first was botching the original media deal

Honestly I'd be game for this in a situation where we're up/down by a large amount

We better hope Jared has some good relationships...

A win.

Not gonna lie, I'm ready to see us move on from Hedlund. Too much DFW soccer talent for us not to ever score in the NCAAs

that usually requires fielding consistent winning football programs

Yeah agreed. Didnt see any name calling or anything.
