If true and that is a big IF because I feel the media is dishonest a lot of the time, I am very saddened and ashamed to hear this.

Guy makes some very valid points.

I think you can buy them online just like a regular game ticket.

If they take Air Force and still need one more I would be ok with Texas State.

Why do they have to? Not saying you are incorrect but can you please give me some reasons behind why it is a must? I just don't see that it is.

And their other sports like basketball is not that good.

Eric Morris spent the last week or so telling anybody who would listen that him returning to his alma mater, leading his North Texas squad to take on the Texas Tech football team, was about anything other than himself. By the end of Saturday's 66-21 thrashing at the hands of the Red Raiders, the Mean Green coach admitted his homecoming was anything other than sweet. "Overall," Morris said, "no bueno." Morris used many descriptive words to break down his team's performance in Jones AT&T Stadium. Few of them were positive. The Shallowater native and former Red Raider receiver praised Tech's ability to deflate his team early, called his team's running attack "awful" and looked bummed about how the day transpired. "We're a better football team than we showed today," Morris said, "but we got out-played, out-coached, out-everything today. Embarrassed by it, quite frankly." read more: https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/sports/college/red-raiders/2024/09/15/texas-tech-football-left-eric-morris-embarrassed-by-north-texas-performance/75097936007/

LUBBOCK, Texas – After a 75-yard catch-and-run from Chandler Morris to freshman Wyatt Young brought UNT to within a field goal of Texas Tech with five minutes left in the first quarter, UNT head coach Eric Morris' homecoming turned sour. Three Chandler Morris interceptions – two within 10 seconds of each other, including a pick-six – led to an avalanche of bad fortune for the Mean Green in a 66-21 defeat, spurred by 35 second-quarter points for the Red Raiders. In all, Texas Tech (2-1) scored 21 points off the three Mean Green turnovers and rolled up 598 yards of total offense while limiting UNT to 353 – nearly 200 yards below its season average. UNT (2-1) was held to 218 passing yards, which was 166 yards below the Mean Green's season average that was third-best in all of FBS entering the game. Chandler Morris finished the day early in the fourth quarter after completing 15 of 27 pass attempts for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns to go with the three interceptions. The Mean Green will look to regroup before next week's home game against Wyoming, which is set for a 6 p.m., kickoff on Saturday night at DATCU Stadium.

QUICK HITS The Mean Green loss puts the all-time series at 5-4 in Texas Tech's favor, with the last meeting coming in 2001, when Tech was able to even the series at 4-4. UNT's captains for the game were Landon Peterson, Ridge Texada, Chandler Morris and Damon Ward Jr. The Mean Green entered the season with 77 newcomers, which is the most in all of FBS. Thirty-six of the 77 newcomers are transfers. Freshman OL Braydon Nelson, who started at right guard, was the second true freshman offensive lineman to start a game in as many weeks after Tyler Mercer became the first to start a game since Sept. 18, 2021, in last week's win over SFA. UNT's first scoring drive of the game took eight seconds with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Chandler Morris to Wyatt Young with 5:12 left in the first quarter. It was the shortest scoring drive of the year for the Mean Green. It was the first one-play scoring drive for UNT since Oct. 15, 2022, against LA Tech. Texas Tech's 66 points are the most for a UNT opponent since FAU scored 69 on Oct. 21, 2017, and the ninth-most points scored by an opponent in program history. Texas Tech's 52 first-half points and 35 points in a quarter were the most by a UNT opponent since Rice accomplished both on Sept. 27, 2008, when the Owls scored 56 in the first half with 35 points in the second quarter. Texas Tech's 44-yard interception return for a touchdown with 9:50 left in the third quarter marked the second straight week UNT's opponent has had a pick-six. UNT's defense has now allowed a score on the opponent's opening drive in 10 consecutive games, dating back to Oct. 14, 2023, against Temple. UNT's defense allowed its first 100-yard rusher of the season in Texas Tech's Tahj Brooks, who had 17 carries for 109 yards in a half of action. Texas Tech's 70-yard touchdown completion with 10:22 left in the second quarter was the longest scoring play by a UNT opponent this season. Junior QB Chandler Morris (Dallas, Texas) finished 15 for 27 for 162 yards, three interceptions and two touchdown passes. Morris made the third start of his UNT career and the 12th of his collegiate career. Morris' 75-yard touchdown pass to Wyatt Young with 5:12 left in the first quarter was his eighth of the season and 24th of his career and it was the longest pass play of the year for the Mean Green. Morris' 15-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Aaron with 9:09 left in the third quarter was his ninth of the season and 25th of his career. Freshman QB Drew Mestemaker (Austin, Texas) made his first collegiate appearance early in the fourth quarter and finished 2 for 3 for 56 yards and had four carries for 26 yards. Junior RB Damashja Harris (Killeen, Texas) finished with seven carries for 22 yards and four catches for 7 yards. Harris' four catches marks a new career high, breaking his previous best mark of two. Junior RB Shane Porter (Friendswood, Texas) finished with seven carries for 31 yards and a touchdown. Porter's 1-yard touchdown run with 9:19 remaining was his first career touchdown. Redshirt freshman RB Makenzie McGill (Mount Vernon, Texas) finished with seven carries for 28 yards in his first action as a ball-carrier. Freshman WR Wyatt Young (Katy, Texas) finished with a catch for 75 yards and a touchdown. Young's 75-yard touchdown reception with 5:12 left in the first quarter was a caerer-long reception, the first touchdown of his career and the longest pass play of the year for the Mean Green. Senior WR Damon Ward Jr. (Beaumont, Texas) finished with two catches for 35 yards. Ward's first reception of the game late in the first quarter was the 100th of his career, making him the 21st player in program history to reach the century mark. Junior WR Jeremiah Aaron (Natchitoches, Louisiana) finished with a catch for 15 yards and a touchdown. Aaron's 15-yard touchdown reception with 9:09 left in the third quarter was the second of his career and first for UNT. His 15-yard touchdown was his first since Sept. 17, 2022, for West Virginia against Towson. Freshman WR Miles Coleman (Austin, Texas) finished with three catches for 75 yards, including a 49-yard reception, in his first action as a pass-catcher. Senior LB Jaylen Smith (Hamilton, Ontario) finished the day with nine tackles to tie his career-high, including five solo stops, and 1.5 tackles for-loss. Senior DB Jayden Hill (Gahanna, Ohio) finished the day with eight tackles, including seven solo stops, and a tackle for-loss. Redshirt freshman DB Brian Nelson II (Pearland, Texas) finished the day with eight tackles, including seven solo stops, his first career tackle-for-loss and his first career interception. Sophomore DB Evan Jackson (Houston, Texas) finished the day with seven tackles, including six solo stops, with a half-tackle for-loss and a pass breakup.

DENTON – The UNT soccer team opened its conference play with a 1-0 home victory over Florida Atlantic Thursday night to earn three points in the league standings. The Mean Green (5-2-1) got an early 11th-minute goal from sophomore Alexis Miller to open the scoring and put her side up. The Owls (0-5-2) peppered Mean Green keeper Maddie Ogden throughout the night and put six shots on target but the senior was unphased as she led the North Texas defense to its fifth overall shutout win and third in a row. The win also extends UNT’s unbeaten streak to six in a row. “I’m proud of our team getting the shutout tonight,” said head coach John Hedlund who earned his 398th career victory with Thursday’s result. “It took a team effort defensively to get the clean sheet and Alexis (Miller) came up with the game winner in the first half against a very solid well coached FAU team.” Miller’s goal was her second of the season and the third of her career. After receiving the pass from freshman defensive midfielder Beya Rosales, Miller turned and found herself near the top of the 18-yard box with space. She took a couple touches forward and fired her shot to the left as she beat the Owls’ keeper. Rosales and sophomore Mia Bernard assisted on the goal. It’s Bernard’s fifth assist of the season, which is more than any UNT player had all of last year. Rosales was one of five freshmen to start for the Mean Green on Thursday. Eight of their 11 starters were sophomores and freshmen. UNT only used three substitutes in the 1-0 win. No defensive players were subbed out over the 90-minute match. Rosales along with fellow freshmen Ella Bushko and Emma King played the entire match along with sophomore Lily Cunningham and junior Abi Major. The Mean Green are back in action on Sunday for their final non-conference match of the 2024 season as they travel to Abilene Christian. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT. The match will be broadcast on ESPN+. For more information on UNT Soccer, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

I plan on listening at work today on my breaks. Thanks again!

Sounds like Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State & San Diego State are officially joining so I am guessing that the Mountain West will come after us and UTSA eventually since they need more members.

Just read an article in the Washington Post (paywalled) and it looks like they are rebuilding and gutting the Mountain West teams and will also go after Cal and Stanford to come back and rejoin. Sounds like they are also considering Tulane and Memphis.

I think if we beat Tech it would basically guarantee a sell out for the Wyoming game.

Very good news!

Yes everything they seem to have requires a subscription.

Seems like they would want it to be faster for the students to be interested and stay?

Sorry but I checked and all of those stats came when their games were over against the scrubs. Sorry I felt like we needed to put that into context.

Probably about 4-5. Matti Mathews is from near my hometown, Cierra Simon, Jody Eppers and Liz Moffet cause she played for my girlfriends alma mater b4 transferring to UNT.

Fantastic news!

What a quagmire. I am not sure this ever gets settled until there is financial pain. And the sport remains incredibly popular and valuable to networks...
