Not seeing any of this helping us move to a better conference. If the BE decides to take Houston then maybe, but there is no indication of that. Also, no one is looking at the sunbelt to replace any schools that left for other conferences. I think the best thing for UNT and the sunbelt is looking at adding strong respectable schools to the belt (Not sure anyone who is respectable wants be in the belt). Or whore ourselves out and pray someone takes us.

Any one esle notice houston is in the 25 in the AP Poll..... makes our loss a little better

MAYBE we will start feeling the ripple effects of conference realignment. http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/

I must say that I enjoyed all the great seating options.

Their video board is 47% bigger than FIU's .

IF FIU leaves then the sunbelt is not that stable, and we would be losing a good team on the rise making the little rep we have that much worse. I hope someone is looking out for us.

If they accept smu will never get the Big 12 invite if Patterson was serious about never helping them again. But Big east could look at SMU and then we could get into C-USA

Oct. 5, 2011 An Open Letter to University of North Texas Students from Head Football Coach Dan McCarney Two weeks ago many of you witnessed something that has never been done before, a Mean Green win over a Big 10 Conference opponent right here on our own campus! It was an incredible night. It was my first win as a coach at North Texas and it was against a team that I have great respect for in Indiana. I told the team before the game to imagine what it would be like to win this game and have the student body rush the field and that dream became a reality. I wouldnt have it any other way than to celebrate my first win in this fabulous new stadium with the tremendous students and fans that helped make it possible. Congratulations are also in order for you. The two-game attendance for Houston and Indiana was 49,256 - the largest two-game attendance figure in school history! I hope that all of you that came out for the first two games and celebrated the win with us on the field will bring a dozen new friends this week and for the rest of the season. We are on pace to set the North Texas all-time attendance record, but need to average 20,000 fans for the rest of the games. We cant do it without you! My coaching staff and I have been working diligently to build this football program and a big part of that includes recruiting outstanding student-athletes. Every time we talk to recruits we brag about the unbelievable home-field advantage that our students create at Apogee Stadium. The atmosphere that you build at Apogee has a large impact on all 16 of our sports. Football games are always part of every student-athletes recruiting experience and your support at the games sends a message that North Texas is a great place to be a student. As a college football coach I only get 12 chances a year to prove my worth, so every game is very meaningful. We only get four more chances to celebrate with our students and fans in Apogee Stadium this year so, we have to take advantage of every opportunity. This Saturday night is our next chance to build this relationship and we need you there. The Mean Green football family appreciates the energy and passion that you have for your school, so lets make it another great Saturday night at Apogee! Go Mean Green, Dan McCarney Head Football Coach University of North Texas

is the tulsa feed working for anyone else? mine just says loading.

Not saying they are not white. I just knew that there has been talk about painting them. (Not sure I like purple though) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1320763/Why-painting-wind-turbines-purple-protect-birds-bats.htm

Politics.

Stop with the politics. This is not the Eagle Nest forum. Not kidding.

We received money from the state to build them, do we have to give the money back, if we decide against it? http://web3.unt.edu/news/story.cfm?story=12175

Where are they?

NO!

that's messed up.

the question is how did we not even know the onside kick was coming? Everyone around me did and NT didn't try for it from my point of view.

On FAMILY weekend they could have adjusted the price especially for kids. I know major div.1 teams charge 2x or 3x this much. But we aren't there yet, and in this economy we could adjust the prices a little. Instead of making 2 years old and younger get in free maybe make it 5 or 6 and younger. Then perhaps attendance will go up and continue to winning will help of course. GO MEAN GREEN

So they lose by 70, and they have a drop in attendance to around 20k. How is that different than us?

I don't see the attendance of UTSA going down anytime soon. Talked to a friend from SA, he said the city has been waiting for football and now that they have it they are excited and getting behind the team.

no i'm with you. Glad we don't do that.

I was wondering, how loud was the student side? I was in the mix so it was hard to tell.

Sorry i corrected it... and to answer your question, would not.

If the pep rally is any indication of the turn out tomorrow, I wouldn't get my hopes up.
