We can't have 3 home and homes. Not in the same seasons. As long as we are insistent on playing a body-bag game. That will lead to 5 home games. Here's how.

Scenario A:

Year 1 non-conference schedule

- Away game at P5 team, bodybag game

- Home game against home-and-home opponent 1

- Away game against home-and-home opponent 2

- Home game against home-and-home opponent 3

= 2 nonconference home games and 4 conference home games for a total of 6 home games

Year 2

- Away game at P5 team, bodybag game

- Away game against home-and-home opponent 1

- Home game against home-and-home opponent 2

- Away game against home-and-home opponent 3

= 1 nonconference home game and 4 conference home games for a total of 5 home games.

Scenario B:

Flip year 1 and year 2. Still going to have a 5-game home season, just in season 1 instead of season 2.

That Army series goes through 2021, and the SMU series goes even longer than that. I've said this before, but as long as those two series are occurring, we can't get another home and home series occurring in the same seasons without having another 5 home game season. As long as we're still playing a bodybag game every year, which RV says we are. That's why our 4th nonconference game, it appears, will be a bought home game against FCS opponent every year. Which is not a bad thing at all.

I've said this before, but for those who want a P5 team to come to Apogee before the Army series is over, the game (series) that is preventing that from happening is not Incarnate Word, Liberty, ACU, or any other FCS school we bring in. It's Army. In and of itself, Army is not a bad series. But I'd rather have a Purdue, Colorado, Kansas, etc. Unless you want another 5 home game season, we do not have room for another home and home series until at least 2021. Unless we stop doing these bodybag games, which I don't think is going to happen.

This is correct, so stop lying to the fan base already.

Of course, this could be avoided by either shortening the Army or SMU series, which I have said many times are much much much too long.

The other solution is two additional one and ones with no money game. We all know that will never happen as long as 1990s AD RV is driving the bus.

I know some old timers on here aren't Twitter savy, but President Smastrek really seems to be active on Twitter... Wonder if we can get after him some on there and apply our feelings/desires for the program to bring in some teams and less body bag games?? Question, no answer.

I highly doubt he post his own tweets. I bet McCarney doesn't.

No matter who drives the bus, there has to be a lot more money poured into the program or a sharp reduction in expenses to not have the one guarantee away game. Don't really understand why anyone would want to ditch the SMU series for another home and away series with a foe that would not likely be as meaningful or surely as easy to travel to.

Again I would rather have an every other year 5 home game schedule with a good home and away series than buying fc schools to play. At least now in CUSA, a lot of the away games are fairly easy travel.

And we will continue to be irrelevant to our own alumni.

Only to the haters. Our Alumni are waking up...I grant you slowly...to all the good things that are gapping at and with UNT these days. Some folks just refuse to acknowledge it. But...only at North Texas I guess.
