Army has a deal with CBS who broadcasts their games. We could be OTA next year… or in the trenches of CBSSN.

I talked to a girl in the Mean Green Brigade. The team is flying and the band is bussing. Downright shame she isn’t going. Reduced band size.

Now we get to watch glorious midweek MACtion!

The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.

I keep seeing posts about how the defense got it done today. I didn’t see that. Army did what they always do to high powered offense teams- slow down, hold the damn ball. We couldn’t force a turnover for large portions of that game. We couldn’t hold the line against that run. I agree that the offense didn’t do them any favors, but Army played us like a damn fiddle for 14 minutes.

Thanks for the assist! I bought a ticket to help out with the sell out

I just flew in from Atlanta. If you’re offering, I’m buying!

I think the UTSA game is going to be a good test of how watchable are we. We have a hour before any other game (excluding Wyoming) starts. Locally, we just have to compete with the Spurs on ESPN and OTA. If no one tunes in when there is nothing on but a NBA pregame show or a high school game, I’m going to be so disappointed.

I’m not going to storm the field on Army. That’s how Houston caught flack when they booed Navy. The service academies play for more. They are not the team you want to showboat on.

I am flying in for the Army game. It’s the only game I can attend at home all season. Is anyone offering a ticket for cheap to attend?

That’s because of the offense scoring 37. If we held Tulane to even the 34 points like Charlotte did last night, we could have won. We have an amazing offense, but we have one of the worst defenses in the conference.

I agree, UNT is a great school for the atypical college student. Spread across the metroplex, working while attending, tend to be older, etc. I love this school because it gave me a second chance to be all I can be. But I wouldn’t say I have UNT traditions instilled in me. I’ll support though because it’s a fun.

Hey Rex, thanks for following up again. I reached out via email to the alumni association a week ago. I am going to call them or forward my email to another person. What type of events would you like to see? 1. Shuttles to away games (UAB, Charlotte) 2. Dinners, Local Activities, Watch parties 3. Host UNT speaker

I reached out recently. I am reaching out on the forum to see other people's experience and gauge interest.

I live in Atlanta and want to start alumni events. We are located close to a lot of our road game opponents (Birmingham, Charlotte, Tampa, Boca Raton, Greenville). ATL is an amazing airport that has flights to every away game. I moved here recently for work and hung out with the South Carolina alumni to just meet people. I would love some advice on how to organize this. Mailing lists, social media, chapter organization, etc. I plan to soft launch some events this spring (basketball watch parties, volunteering, activities), but I am planning a more concrete organization going into Fall 2025. If you live in the area, please reach out!
