A pretty influential alum stated that 2015 schedule was due to "exceptional circumstances." Lets examine this to see if it is true.

First, both SMU and Iowa were on the schedule as road games as of 2009. Tulsa was there as a home game for 2015 in 2009, but keep in mind that would have went away when we realized we were entering CUSA in 2012. So RV had two years to find a replacement.

RV seemed to indicate on the podcast with Harry that Tulsa LEAVING the conference somehow affected the OOC schedule. Hardly, as they were a CONFERENCE GAME.

But lets assume we are in a fantasy land and Tulsa leaving had something to do with it. Take a look at this:

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/tulsa-announces-move-conference-191022455--ncaaf.html

And then this:

http://www.fbschedules.com/2013/05/north-texas-updates-future-non-conference-football-schedule-through-2025/

Now, go back and look at this post in 2012:

Well darn, I can't find it, but it was a listing of future OOC games from FBSfootballschedules.com in mid 2012 showing @ Tennessee as a future home game.

So, RV looked around for a whole month before plopping Tennessee down in that spot, ensuring a 5 home game season. I'm sure he did this because the amount of time left on the Tennessee contract was running out.

So, the "exceptional circumstances" were looking around for a month, not being successful, and throwing a game you needed to get played because you had a signed contract on the schedule.That is if you buy the crazy theme that Tulsa leaving our conference had anything to do with the 2015 OOC schedule. It didnt.

Pretty exceptional. For a 4th grader.

I cannot possibly tell you how much I am ready for you to find a different topic.... or a different team to root for.

I think you are trying to run off the wrong person, my friend.

Just think of this as my uniform topic, just a lot less girly.

What's going on with 2015 schedule? Is there an issue that UNT90 is trying to point out? Is this the first we are hearing about this?

Just making sure people stay informed, or maybe overly informed, about the terrible scheduling and the unbelievable excuses being throw out there by RV.

Expect just a little more.

Don't feed the animals.

There is much to be excited about the Mean Green and that is the world I live in. I know many others on this forum do to. 90 you could actually have an opposite affect and my friend it appears your played strategy is working.

Support the uniform. Support our men and woman. Live Mean Green.

I am so glad that we have another thread about this since the other one was so productive and not the same three posts over and over. Cannot overstate how wonderful this is.

About as productive as two 5 home game seasons in 4 years, eh?

1. Roadies to Hattiesburg la tech Knoxville and Iowa.

2. Walking distance pre and post game parties smu weekend

3. Hungrier team after taking all those throttles in October

4. More pre home game camp outs at apogee

5. Tailgate enhancements

The team jury is still out and I will be disappointed if we don't bounce back. But I will let the season play out have a lot of fun doing it and not doom 2015 before we even celebrate Christmas.

But seriously….

We don't need an AD that makes the money this one makes while enjoying this odd form of AD Tenure to make those things happen.

No accountability necessary there.

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
