I think its harder for a small town like Denton to keep locals as opposed to a major city like Houston,San Antonio, or Dallas. What surprises me is the small number of players that TCU was able to keep in Ft. Worth.

Would of, could of,should of.UTSA is not a joke of a program, beat us at home, and came in 2nd in West CUSA. Let's see how we do against them this year in S.A. I don't understand the need to tear down their program is an effort to build our up. Penis envy?

This will be a great venue for our students majoring in Hotel Management[that's probably not actual name of degree].

I don't count any wins against high schools. Our non conference home schedule was a joke, with exception of SFA.

We have enough money as a member of CUSA to compete in athletics with AAC,MW,Sun Belt,and MAC conferences. What we don't have is enough extra cash to buy out bad hires.That money will have to come from alumni,and while we have a few deep pockets,we probably don't have nearly enough.

I would like 6&6 teams not to be able to play in bowl games,which would reduce their number.

As regards expanding the stadium, I would think that we would want to create a demand by routinely selling out what we have. Otherwise, we have an outdoor basketball arena with 2,000 fans in a 9,000 seat venue.[sound familiar] Regarding drunks at the HOD,saw a group get into a pushing match a few rows below me but no blood. Personally, I would rather keep the drunks out than bring them in. I have yet to see a study that says beer sales will bring more fans, but I have club seats where liquor is sold and have not seen any problems.I haven't had a drink in 25 years,but never liked being around drunks even when I was one.

I have slept since then, but as I recall Buddy Temple was tasked with closing small state universities because did not attract enough students and were not economically feasible to operate. Because of politics he was unable to do this. However, the smaller schools, such as WTSU,ETSU,,Pan American,Tarlton State,etc. became part of either the TA&M or Texas systems[uTA switched from from A&M to Texas]. North Texas State declined to become a part of the Texas System,and TWU wanted no part of us.The upshoot was that TA&M,Texas,TT,UNT, and one other school[either Houston or SFA] increased academic requirements and put somewhat of a cap on campus housing in an effort to drive enrollment to underutilized campuses. I have often wondered how we would have faired as part of the UT system. At any rate, I think my account is close enough for government work,but certainly am open to corrections.

It's not exactly a big time New Year's Day Bowl. Probably a leg up on Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth.We had the 1aa Championship game in Frisco before a sellout [20,000] crowd featuring N. Dakota St., who won for the 3rd year in a row. How much local coverage did the game get? ZIP!

My son is a UAB grad, and the problem is Bear Bryant Jr. As long as he is head of Alabama's BOR,[ or alive] UAB will not be allowed to replace Legion Field, which is literality falling down. It is a dead end job, but then,so is North Texas. Hayden Fry and Jerry Moore are only head football coachs that I can think of that stepped up when they left,and J.J, the only head basketball coach.

1]that they came back to beat Ball State 2]that they were flat against UTSA with so much on the line 3]that as the season progressed how much more physical we became

Louisville's head basketball coach has had similar problems. Screwed a woman in back of a restaurant while an assistant coach stood guard. If memory serves,assistant coach later marries her,messy divorce,sues head coach, public apology,etc.I have slept since this happened, but you get the general idea.

What is he thinking? TT will not let him go to Oklahoma, and if they did, he would be right back where he started;walking on without a scholarship. Kid's getting bad/no advice, and if he is,not taking it.

4 new bowls for 2014. Getting very crowded.

If you don't think you can beat Texas you never will.

Only if they change their name to "Eppy".

There is a difference between decals, such as an eagle,on the helmet, and a performance sticker, such as a talon. However, at my age my wife no longer gives me stickers, so no, I don't like them.

It's probably too late to drop 2014 game, but I would not be surprised to have them cancel the remainder of the series due to "conference scheduling problems."

Fool me once,shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Sounds like the article is referring to UNT/Dallas

Diamond Eagle, in a perfect world I would love to see your interlocking NT with the star on our helmet and forget the bird.

Not a fan of stickers. Love the interlocking NT, but just glad to see a change.If Rick goes to letters,it is my understanding he will be hard pressed by administration to use UNT, which I really don't like.

There are some "Cheetos" who swear that the Sabin's had looked at housing in Austin , were waiting for an offer,and that somehow Mac Brown kept it from happening. All I know for sure is that "Big Red" and some other deep pockets are pissed about not being included in the hiring process, and that if Strong doesn't make it,Patterson won't either.

I talked to Eric Capper yesterday,and he said that he would follow up with HOD and see if there were any programs left. If so, he would try to get them and make available to UNT fans.

SMU added suites,which should sell fast. In addition, I think they will have a good team.I plan on going to the Memphis game.
