Kind of weird not going to lie, especially since most Mexicans could care less about futbol americano 😅 Secondly, I don’t recall any college team ever marketing internationally like this. Correct me if I’m wrong. I believe Stanford and Rice played a game in Australia a couple years ago?

UTEP doing everything it can not to get stuck in CUSA. If we end up losing this game (which I loath to admit I have a really bad feeling about) then all this support talk will be a mute point. People, organizations, businesses etc. want to be associated with a wining product. Bottom line.

I was with you up until the last part when you just went full SMU. How do you figure that those schools are below SMU?! Good luck to you.

I agree.

Having Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado go to the BIG12 makes sense geographically and culturally. The PAC12 is screwed because no schools in their footprint can match up academically with Stanford and Cal so they either swallow their pride and let in a San Diego State, Fresno State, or Boise State or they have to accept maybe a complete merger with another conference?

I would love to see the Rutgers and the Vanderbilts of the world get taken down a peg.

I wouldn’t take a victory lap just yet. No one knows how this is going to shape things. But I still say we should have gone to the MWC. If Memphis and SMU bolt for the new BIG 12 I’m going to be very disappointed.

It extends to even members of the school. When I was in Army ROTC at North Texas they would give us so much trouble for trying to use anything North Texas related on our shirts or in our building. Merchandise has long been frustrating and disappointing.

Ice cold take that will age horribly.

No one is going to like hearing this but we need more money and more donors. Simple but historically hard to do.

Go Mean Green I guess 😓

Obviously the best coach we have…but let’s not get crazy here.

Further reinforces hiring a great coach. If you can play doesn’t matter where you go to school. If you hit the transfer portal it’s for a reason.

Didn’t UNT just finish building something at that site?

Yes. I believe it’s that simple. When USC gets back to where it was you’ll see a huge jump in viewership I believe.

What is it doing to the game exactly?

Completely disagree that the portal and NIL are turning people away. What does a casual fan (which drives viewership) care about who is transferring and who is getting an NIL deal? SEC spends money on coaching, the other conferences do not and it’s shows on the field.

Wish they sold the Battle Flag as just a patch.

This should be a crime

It sounds like whatever department is in charge of it is fat and happy and doesn’t get held accountable. 🤨

I think they’re more concerned about fixing their shady nursing school standards and admissions process. https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereknewton/2020/03/24/why-the-resignation-of-this-particular-college-president-matters/ “That, among other things, is what leaders at UT-Arlington have been accused of – working with a for-profit company to weaken admissions standards for online programs, goosing up their enrollments and corporate profits.”

SL needs to find a QB?…..well he had the greatest QB in the history of North Texas and what did he do with him? I’ll walk myself out.
