You can say the truth. The AD F'd up this schedule. Big time (or should I say small time). But your comment does reflect the typical UNT shoulder shrug mentality when accepting failure time after t

5 home games. Opening day bye. There is most certainly politicking that goes on where TV games are invoved. But keep on believing none of this is RV's fault and keep enjoying a crap product.

this is what mid-majors G5's do... heck...more and more P5's are now part of the weeknight TV games. personally...I look at this as a positive for North Texas. We serve as a Thursday night "fix"

The student turn out has never been a problem, it's the alumni. Maybe I'm in the minority again, but I'm not a fan of weekday days. Ruins the whole tailgating experience. Honestly, tailgating is really the only thing I look forward too. Not sold on the on field product.

televised game is a plus. decent opponent at home should be a hype game. if they have a decent record, they could be ranked.

short week for them to travel. after a possible hard game against mid tenn. we play portland at home the week before.

this increases our chance for the upset with more time to prepare while they travel and have only a few days.

I like it! I hope it's nationally televised... At least we know that people around the country wanting to watch football that night will tune in on that game. Its much better then a 11am game on a Saturday.. And competing with TCU, Texas, A&M games, as well as alumni missing the Saturday game due to kid's sports events. Plus like people are saying, student turnout to week night games are usually great.

Agreed. It's better than an 11am kick.

October 15th is actually a serious, legit I ain't leaving work early day for me. Ironically, I'll have October 16th off. Can I join the club of teeth gnashing and shaking my disgruntled green finger at the universe for shitting on everything UNT throughout the history of everything now?

I'm sorry, but give me an 11 am Saturday kick over Thursday night every time. I'd much rather wake up early, have a nice breakfast, drink mimosas and enjoy the rest of my day after the game than using PTO to leave work early, battle the traffic to Denton, tailgate for only a couple hours, and then not get home until around midnight...

How many MAC/ CUSA/ Sun Belt weekday games did you watch last season? I probably only watched a couple and I watch a lot of a sports. Middle of October is MLB playoffs, ALCS/NLCS games to be exact. I can imagine more people will be watching playoff baseball than WKU vs. UNT.

Don't get me wrong, it's great to be on TV. I just don't see that many positives.

It may just be the people I'm around, but people I know won't watch the playoffs unless the Rangers are in it. I personally would watch any level of football over baseball, but you have a point. I can't disagree with that I guess.

I'm not a Greek alum but if there was ever a night to have a special Greek promotion, this is it....much like the basketball game this year. The student section was huge that night

I mean, we're having a tough enough time getting Mexaians to Apogee... Don't you think Greece is a little too far to cast our nets?

Maybe I'm just ignorant of the # of Greeks we have here in DFW, and this really could be a boon for our attendance?

Tasty, any views on this?

EDIT: Dangit, Tasty already commented... Your promo idea doesn't have a good outlook Mr. Scott.

If there was just one sentence that totally encompasses how easy the AD has it here, this is it...and its why RV will never leave her until he retires. I mean, how can your get rid of a guy who so brilliantly opened up football tailgating for a university in the South? You cannot put a price on that kind of vision...//BOR member

For our family this one hurts. Our daughter and grandson come to the games with us. Since this is now on a school night they won't make this one. We were already probably going to miss the Halloween game and the Thanksgiving weekend game so this cuts our family football events to two. That stinks.

Can I be optimistic for future years that 6 of the 9 games are on Friday? I think it was the Mountain West that always used to have a Friday night game on TV, although I seem to remember seeing Carson Palmer's little brother throwing for UTEP on Fridays a time or too as well. Now that I wouldn't mind at all.

I think what he's trying to say is that even though the product on the field usually sucks, he still wants to come out and have a good time and support UNT. And since the game probably won't be fun, you have to resort to drinking/tailgating to get your fix. The program would be in a lot better position if more fans had the same mentality. Doesn't mean you still can't be pissed about the sad state of the team.

Yep, it sucks that it had to be one of the good weekend games. I would of rather had a game on thanksgiving, than moving the WKU game. Thanksgiving tailgate, watch the Cowboys game, then go watch a night game at Apogee.

      How FAU Could Afford To Fire Tom Herman (a sensible contract clause)

      The FAU head coach signed a five-year contract with a base salary of $750,000, including annual incremental increases. For the 2024 college football campaign, Herman’s salary will be $1 million. He’ll earn $1.25 million in 2025, $1.35 million in 2026, and in the final year of the contract, he’ll earn $1.5 million. Herman hadn’t been a head coach since the 2020 season when Texas fired him. He spent time as an analyst for the Chicago Bears in 2021, but made his return to college football when the Owls hired him after the 2022 season. With FAU headed to the American Athletic Conference, the Owls needed a coach who had experience and could recruit the area well. Herman recruited well at his previous stops, and the administration believed he could do it again in Florida. If FAU terminates his contract, he will be paid a lump sum of 20 weeks of his annual salary or the remainder of the contract, depending on which number is lower.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
