I know Scrappy has been our mascot for many years. But to me, it seems that their (playing into modern gender roles here) disinterest and general apathy when it comes to firing up the crowd really make a difference on how students and five year olds going to their first games feel about UNT The players treat them as a barrier to get around during warmups...and the dancing often portrays someone that has a less than healthy relationship with the product on the field. The coaches caravans (when they feel like coming) and other community events have a different feel, but they just seem off when it comes to their full support of UNT. Is it time for a new mascot for UNT? I'm sure that Scrappy is a nice eagle and I wish them no harm, especially since Eagles are considered endangered species (both the animal and the fickle UNT football fan). But it seems to me that some positive energy and more hip thrusting during games couldn't hurt!

I'm frustrated about the losses but I'm more frustrated is that in many of them, especially in recent years, we haven't been competitive.

These are all clickbait..........

We talk about standards but odus Mitchell was also 60 years ago. if we really want to play technicalities than technically Seth has raised the standard- minimum 6 wins at unt and a bowl bid. To do more, we have to find a bar raiser

I was just about to post this. We feature him, but nothing on the ESPN article about us.

I still am one to believe that we dont end up sharing a conference with them unfortunately. They'll find a way out. Also, you can have more than 1 rival. Helps with excitement throughout the season.

SMU is not different. We've gotten our butts whooped by them the past 3 years and 7 of the past nine. We dont compete too much in other sports and they dont care nor do they draw well. I know we want them to be a rival but they dont care UTSA is different. Series is 5-4, there have been blowouts the last 3 years but each game has brought some significance of wrecking the others season. We also compete against each other in other sports- we lead all of em but its pretty close I think. Theyre the ones that will fill Apogee when they come- not SMU, their fans support the program and theyre a big public institution too. I'd love SMU to be a rival but we have to win more and they have to care too. UTSA is a fun rival - let's embrace it.

playing the sensitive central texas alum card and wont be able to make it due to a number of reasons but will be watching. Everyone going should go to the alumni association tailgate: https://untalumni.com/events/unt-vs-utsa-tailgate/

Honestly wouldn’t be sad at all if/when PB leaves. Little too old school for me.

Is anyone watching on espn+? Quality is awful, can’t hear anything and they haven’t shown down and distance all day?

I'd say its the nature of the world of work. Always be interviewing- we constantly want to know our value. We are 100% a stepping stone job right now. No shame in that. If Wren moves up that just means his colleagues thought highly of him. What's most important is that we get the next hire right.

When you are the highest paid coach in the conference and have all the facilities at your disposable there's no reason for you to say a bad word

A few more NCAA tournament wins usually does the trick.

Where do yall tailgate? Finally getting to come up this weekend with my brother (A&M alum but could give 2 s***s about sports)

I'm no weatherman but I know a lot of other Florida universities are pushing or cancelling their games this weekend..... has anyone seen anything about that potentially happening?

I'm surprised one of the big megachurches hasn't changed their name to "Six Flags Over Jesus" for a lighter spin on a church name.

my favorite one is the oxymoronic school named "liberty" that has a fairly ass backward honor code

Jews learn by age 13 that we have a better chance at owning a team than playing for one.

aren't there enough "distinctively Christian" universities out there?? 🤣

My bet is because we probably paid double

UTSA put up a fight saturday and people were talking about it all over social media. it got way more attention than us hosting an FCS school. Oh... and remember the Arkansas game? Or thE Georgia game where we were tied at halftime?

@Doug Rush I love the effort but the site needs work man and I want anything that is representative of UNT to look professional. Too many links go nowhere and your bios aren't consistent at all. Happy to help you freshen it up.

Could be guessing here but didnt Dodge piss off a lot of HS coaches?

I would hope Cobbs gets retained.

To be fair, if you were in Wrens shoes in 2018, after back to back 9 win seasons and a CUSA championship appearance you would’ve extended him too. hindsight is always 20/20
