It has been the most important for the last 3 years, and we rollover and play dead. I wish for some enthusiasm from coaches, team, students, & Denton but based on the past I would not expect it. Band will appear in their Jr. High tees and shorts (embarrassing), team and coaches see it as another ho hum OOC game. Visitors might bring 500 at best. This is the one home game I will be out of town. I could not stand to see a fouth straight loss to those arrogant bastards. If we lose agai we should cancel the series as we are not competitive. The coverage In Dallas of this game kills us there for the rest of the year every year.

At least w/o Sutton and Quinn we might make a game of it, but considering the last three years us being favored borders on ludicrous. Very smal crowd since nobody but older alumni care. Too hot for students and band, and Denton won't learn that there was even a game until after Labor Day.

More coverage of the unmerciful whipping that Lane Kiffin hands out each time we face his team. At least late enough not to make the news.

I can assure you from my visit to the University of Wyoming campus last week that the figure quoted is supportable. Although Laramie is a third the size of Denton it is a thousand times more supportive of its athletic programs and of the university as a whole. Their facilities including a state of the art indoor practice facility are outstanding. It is easy for UNT to stand on the outside and throw cold water on studies or proven successes of other universities' athletic programs, but just visit these campuses that you criticize, and you may understand that although we may have made great strides , we are still light years behind even our peers much less the P5.

Well said, and I might add that if you have to take the field in shorts and tees until mid October just stay in the stands. Looks like a Jr. High or worse.

I thought FAU was a top 25 in '17. They certainly deserve their spot . How can someone not agree after they thoroughly trounced us twice? Both were no contest almost as much as was SMU. Now Troy was another matter--they had a QB with a hot hand that day, but look at their record. Only Coastal Carolina was beaten worse than us in the SunBelt. I can still see us getting possession after half at two points down and Fine taking the sack and coughing up the ball--game over!! it's no fault of his getting sacked but you don't cough up the ball when we had the chance to make it a game. Low point of season considering opponnet ( except for SMU which is always a beating). La Tech exposed just how poorly we match up every year against SMU by their performance in the Frisco Bowl. I FINALLY have learned and given up my tickets to the first game. We stand a better chance of beating Arkansas than SMU. It's taken 50 years of frustration to finally prove to me that SMU will always outclass and out perform us in every way. We hand Sutton 4 of the 10 TDs he gets for '17 season, and the next week TCU shows how to make him a non factor. Except for the game where SMU wanted an excuse to fire June Jones and laid down, we have not even been close to being a factor in that game for decades. See you later , and hope you enjoy the beat down on Sept. 1. When will we finally pull the plug on this series? The embarrassement has gone on long enough.

When is the date for Denton-- only one I may can make if it is May 20

yes

RIGHTFULLY SO UTSA HAS KICKED OUR ASS EVERY YEAR EXCEPT FOR THE1-11

No one takes a loss to SMU worse than me. I consider that game a WAR not a game. However with our lack of preparation, hiddeous game plan, and bringing a Jr. High band in their shorts and tees, it is evident that this game is not important to North Texas. We certainly don't play it for the guarantee so why keep it to continue the embarrasement of our lack of ability to compete? As Wren Baker stated at a COBA breakfast prior to the SMU game " Never have so many gotten so excited for so little (lack of success)" Be our hero Wren and get us out of this annual whipping!!!

We do not PLAY SMU we just show up to take an anuual whipping while they they then go to Ft. Worth and get the same. If you can't compete then give it up and get down with the bantum weights where you belong!!

This season will always hinge on giving up 4 touchdowns to Coutland Sutton and having him rub it in your face with an unsportsmanship call. The next week TCU holds him to one catch for 8 yards. Was TCU's DC that much better than ours? Looks like it! It is apparrent that the SMU series is meaningless to players, students, coaches and most fans. The best thing Wren Baker could do for UNT's image is to buy out that series and never play them again as our lack of ability to compete is no longer disheartening it is a downright embarrassement to fans in the metroplex!!

Did not help our image to have a band that shows up in the attire of a Junior High band. Yes it was hot. How many other college bands did you see in shorts and t shirts? You think it's not hot for the players in pads, etc.? If UNT band plans to come to SMU dressed like Denton's Jr. High band I for one hope they stay home. I admire their spirit and enthusiasm, but this is on their leaders in the music dept. Either get them some lightweight summer, real uniforms or cut it down by half to 200 so they can look like a real D-1 college band.

Per Wren this will always be on Tuesday night as it's better for Seth. Get the word out and let's have a big crowd at Rudys. On air 7-8, but get there by 6:30 if you want a seat.

Agree with all but SMU. In Dallas we are destined to lose big time as students and players view this as just another OOC game. The Dallas media will roast us for the failure to compete

SMU---- not a dog's chance in Hades that we come anywhere close to a win. Courtland Sutton will have a career day. Time to get bought out on this series as students and players don't view it as a must win. It is a huge embarrasement when we are not even competitive with a team that SFA will hold its own with.

Maybe it should be "play in Dallas and they will come" if you look at "new attendees" at last two Heart of Dallas Bowls. Also a band dressed like a junior high in the first couple of games does nothing to promote school spirit. Yeah it's hot in Lubbock and and other places but their bands don't come dressed as if they played for tips on a street corner.

I object to ANYONE frat or not remaining outside the stadium after kickoff. Should be charged with trespassing , disorderly conduct, public intoxication, minor possess /consumption or anything else that applies. This is a football game not a beer pong. Grow up or hit the road the hill is for pre/post game. During the game it should be off limits!!!!!

Iowa debacle is expected. SMU will be utterly EMBARRASING !!l

As with SMU there is NO Prayer of even being competitive in either game. We will take a huge whipping on national tv (ESPN2) . At least SMU is not on tv but the DMNS will make sure that our lack of ability to compete is well known to the entire metroplex. Embarrassment in return for a paycheck at IOWA

Correction under Fry these were the Mean Green Dollies. Songleaders was post Fry and had something to do with a former UCLA band director who had taken over direction of NT band.

I was there yesterday, and Army " gave" us nothing and Jenkins and Wilson were nothing short of phenomenal!
