Is it just me or does it seem like this staff has a hard time reading poker faces? We spent thousands of dollars making videos and photshops on a kid like this and he clearly was using us just so K-State can brag how they flipped a UNT commit. I demand better effort from our recruiting staff. I realize they can't bat 1000% but I also can hope for 250 or 300 can't I?

The only way this is true is he must be injured.

If the man was a true visionary why in the world would he give such little attention and funding to athletics which is the window thru which the university system is viewed? Hurley set us back decades.

UTSA focused but some good UNT data included as well as some quotes from Coach Morris. A good read for any AAC fan. —————- after Jeff Traylor was hired at UTSA in December 2019, he sat down for a meeting with athletic director Lisa Campos and the board tasked with constructing the Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence. The $40.4 million project created a new hub for UTSA athletics, providing the football program with fresh locker rooms, offices, meeting spaces and practice fields. “I remember telling them, if you give me this $40-45 million building, I’ll never ask you for anything else, and we’ll win all the games that you want to win,” Traylor said. For a while, Traylor’s words proved to be prophetic. The RACE facility opened in August 2021, and since then the Roadrunners have gone 23-5, winning consecutive Conference USA championships. link: https://www.expressnews.com/sports/colleges/utsa/article/utsa-aac-finances-18331333.php#:~:text=With the move to the,per year in recent seasons.

Any relation to Coach Morris? He looks pretty good today.

Absolutely 100% correct but believe me he HATES UNT and always has. He would never write anything good about us even when we won 4 straight championships in football.

Yeah well these coaches are considered public figures and I feel like if we buy season tickets and support the program we have a right to speak our mind. I think we should do it respectfully.

This is correct and was told to me by Mark Miller who is president of the alumni association or he was at that particular time. I agree with the other poster that it needs to be expanded as every time I take my wife there it is too crowded.

Congrats on getting into the ACC.

I like that you bolded some things like tackling lol

With football laying such a huge egg I am very interested in basketball and looking forward to the start times and dates as well.

DALLAS — David Miller is tall enough not to hide among crowds, particularly this one. At an impromptu celebration within SMU’s indoor football facility, there is no escape for Miller. He is, after all, the chairman of the school’s board of trustees. On this day, for a party 40 years in the making, he is dressed the part. In a red-and-blue plaid sports coat and slacks, he stares down through eyeglasses from his 6-foot-8 perch as, one by one, members of the SMU family form a receiving line. For a brief moment, the scene is reminiscent of the 1970s Hollywood hit “The Godfather.” Supporters stop shy of genuflecting at the 73-year-old’s feet, restraining themselves to handshakes and hugs. “Thank you so, so much,” a woman tells a smiling Miller. “We appreciate everything,” a young donor says to him. Miller is an oil man, with a deep booming voice and an accent you’d find on any Lone Star ranch. He began as an oil banker, then was an oil operator and now, sitting on a cushion of hard-earned cash, he's an oil investor. He’s got five children and 13 grandchildren, all of whom he expects to attend his alma mater, the oak tree-lined private school nestled in the plush neighborhood of Highland Park. read more: https://sports.yahoo.com/inside-smus-pursuit-of-the-power-five--its-a-couple-hundred-million-dollars-im-not-losing-sleep-over-it-125139541.html

Amen.. Way too soon.

Agreed. Now we need to hope that ESPN and Aresco can work out a deal for the 2 left behinds and maybe pick off the Mountain West of their better markets.

Thank you @Doug Rush for your efforts in bringing baseball back to UNT. I honestly never understood why it was ended. Who was the AD and Pres that made that stupid decision. All we had to do was keep it going, it didn't hurt the budget that much honestly.

Always felt like our biggest enemy on campus in terms of morale was the reject from Texas or Tech or wherever who either couldn't cut it or their parent ran out of money and "ended up" at NT. My roommate was one of those. Bastard was an Aggy reject and constantly was bragging how much better sports and whatever was back at A&M and how NT would never amount to anything. I finally told him one night after many beers, "why TF are you here dude?" He said it was mainly financial and he would someday transfer back. Of course he never did and he never has supported or gone to NT games even though that is where his degree is from. When I see stories about the global students I think they could be some of our best future fans because we don't have to reprogram them like so many other of our students.

LOL, @NT93 came with receipts!

Haha he does look a lot like Jonny!

Defense In looking at the defense, I would hope that UNT is willing to run the rock. The Mean Green defense was objectively bad, allowing 6.1 yards per play and 31.7 points per game. While those numbers don’t seem all that awful, UNLV racked up 576 yards of offense, and all but one Conference USA team (FIU) had well over 400 yards against them. Even without Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF, the AAC is a much deeper, more explosive offensive conference than C-USA. Three of the top four tacklers are gone on defense, including KD Davis and Larry Nixon, who each eclipsed 100 stops. Top sack man Mazin Richards (7.5) and top defensive back Ridge Texada (15 pass breakups) are the anchors of Matt Caponi’s unit, as he takes the DC role for the first time after coaching defensive backs at Iowa State. It sure looks like the UNT defense would welcome some ball control. Outlook The Mean Green have an early bye week and a rough month of November with UTSA, SMU on a short week, Tulsa with a first-year head coach who could have a much-improved team by then, and UAB. If things come together quickly for Morris’s bunch, the first part of the schedule features winnable games, but if not, this looks like a number that they’ll chase most of the season. The win total is 6.5 with Under juice, and my projection is 6.32, with that weak schedule doing some heavy lifting.

I pulled this off their fan site: Pacific American? http://www.ponyfans.com/phpBB3/styles/we_clearblue/imageset/icon_post_target.gifby ROCKNEPONY » Wed Aug 16, 2023 3:03 pm Has anyone seen other information on this? it doesn't seem to optimize teams. Where's Navy? Air Force? Why would we still play UAB? FAU? If real I guess the only plus is more money? P5 label? Rose Bowl 1/2 ownership?
