Thanks, I wanted to get a person's perspective that has been to a conference foe's tailgating scene. You could argue that some of these stadiums, like Marshall, SO Miss, LA Tech are not really in the vicinity of a large metroplex like ours. So what the hell is there else to do on a Saturday? However, I'm not downplaying our tailgate scene. And I have never been disappointed whether it is a weekday or weekend game. "Lacking" is a vague word. and I would like to understand what we're lacking as far as this writer's perspective.

I haven't tailgated much out of UNT games and a couple times at SMU for the NT games. But do you all agree with this assessment that tailgating is lacking compared to the rest of the conference? For those of you that have traveled to our away games?

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/big-changes-reportedly-coming-with-next-college-football-bowl-cycle-233855618.html Wasn't anything really talked about regarding CUSA, except for the bowl tie ins.. "Conference USA: 7" But an interesting read none the less. Another bowl game added in the mix in College Football...

You can pretty much watch all those games on a Sling TV subscription, minus CBS... I am planning on attending the UNTvHouston game, so I'm not concerned seeing that one.. But I always dread when a game is on CBS, because Sling doesn't have that network.. Edit: And I saw that CBS is on Facebook. Nevermind lol. We're making it out like bandits with our TV schedule! wow.

This is what scares me about the CUSA championship game. We're handed with the winning cards for a full Apogee stadium Champ game, and we shoot ourselves in the foot by bone headed double digit losses or choke on the one game that determines our final standing.

There is already Charlotte and Old Dominion taking that market for the east division. If Liberty wants to join CUSA, then one of those two in Virginia/Carolina needs to drop out.

Posting pictures of full stadiums off the first three Google images lol. Do that for any G5 stadium and you'll get the same FULL attendance image you can use to show off. Want me to post some empty TCU stadium pics too? I know I'm feeding the troll here, but you need to get out this delusion that UH is SEC status and get off your high horse on telling our board members to choose another sport other than lacrosse..

When UTSA first started with their program, the reality was that there was the rivalry atmosphere when we played. The new car smell of their football program has worn off a bit, but you're right. We play them in the part of the year where we need a win for first or second in the conference, and we have both spoiled each other's seasons. every other year. ex, we beat them the 1-11 season, the spoiled our 2013 season to the championship, etc, etc. Rivalries develop through the intensity and grudging each year. SMU- I wish I could argue about the "In the series... they OWN us." But it is true. Besides that, I think a lot of us UNT fans enjoy going to Dallas for games. We bring a bigger crowd to their stadium every other year lol. There is no promise they will reup the series, but i sure hope another deal is made. Because as a fan, I enjoy going to Dallas to see my team play every other year, But we need to beat them at Ford.. Boo SMUt "La Tech: This one make a lot of sense. They win. They are the next state over. We should care about beating them and they should about us. However, I just dont see the rivalry there. Why is that?" ^ Last year's game it felt like a rivalry to me. I think we need to keep having winning seasons. We aren't going to develop a rivalry with a winning program like LA Tech, if we don't match the success. So to answer that question IMO, I believe we are developing a rivalry and keeping Seth around is showing we're putting in the effort to do so. Plus, I like LA Tech's fans that come on our board. A rivalry, but sportsmanship at the end of the day.

2022 actually, do research before you talk smack.

USF is a neutral site game lol. A big P5 gets to go play in a NFL stadium in a big city in Florida. That's a no brainer.. really. You can argue that Orlando and UCF is a big city market, but to me it does not have that stigma of a big bad P5 stepping into the little brother's home stadium.

I'm curious on price. I like this style of seating,

Good point, only one way to find out really. I do think it's a bit of a different situation here in Texas. There is a big alumni and fan base of Tech fans in DFW, compared to Nebraska going to Chicago or DeKalb. But I do understand the point you're trying to make. TT just seems like one of those Big12 programs that wouldn't buy out or control a series like a Texas or Oklahoma would.

I heard it was to make room for their new and improved forum

That would suck... What reason would they have to buy out that game? I think that game in Denton might help them with recruiting purposes. Anyways, Wag Tag said it.. But The Houston game next year should be our first sell out game. Houston travels very well, as we saw in 2011 and I went to the UH v. SMU game last year and Houston fans were everywhere in and outside the stadium. Obviously we need to annihilate ACU, beat SMU, hopefully upset Cal.. Get that momentum going like last year to energize this fan base for the UH game!

Please show that part of the crew this..

Can we please just stop the game after the 3rd quarter?

Center needs to sit the bench. 1 bad snap can happen, but 3 in 2 quarters is embarrassing...

Houston will probably be our first sell out crowd. That's going to be a sight to see.

That sucks for them. He looked promising for their future.

Cougar King already got mad about this ranking yesterday lol. I pretty much agree on your assessment with TCU/Tech Houston could be debatable. 2nd half UNT might prove Vegas right though.

Not really sure how this works, but doesn't SL get extra money for winning a bowl game on his salary? Or is that money paid to him if he brings his teams into a bowl game post season and doesn't have to win to get it?

Somebody let Cougar King out of his cage again..

Lol I remember watching this in 2012.. Couldn't decide if I was angry at being called a cupcake or laugh at the fact that this guy is really a thing. Somebody give Mean Green Man a call.
