This must be the big donation we were told about.  Thanks RV.

Just think how much further $1.25 million will go by then in a country run by Kanye West. #Kanye2020 #ImnotsayinRVsagolddigger

Maybe it's just me, but RV "negotiated" a game that's five years off for $1.2 million?  Personally I think he left money on the table.  These games are going to be worth a whole lot more than that by

Obviously, there was something different in that game from the others listed...

Not a giant and not on the road...

K-State in 2010 at Fouts - 49-41

I don't know that I would include K-State in the P5 giant class. They are P5, but aren't they really more of a middle of the road team?

I would include them in it now--since the late 90's, they are almost always ranked, with quite a few top ten ranked squads...

Georgia '13 -- 45-21?

$150k more, 2 years earlier...

That's pretty much the best bodybag game we have played--with our best squad in at least 10 years before it, arguably the best we have rolled out since 1978...

I'd say we played A&M just as good if not better in 97 than the 13 did versus Georgia. The 97 team also beat Tech the week before playing A&M.

UNT played tougher schedules back then. RV has done a lot for UNT but his scheduling prowess is a joke.

C'mon, y'all.  

LA has a state income tax.  That's why there's a difference.

I applaud you for your wonderful sarcasm...

You are correct on that--but that game was at Texas Stadium. The year before at Kyle Field, we lost a heartbreaker, 55-0.

Would ULM have higher travel costs that would increase the total cost? Could it be that we are, at the end of expense, getting the same amount as ULM? Or should we just assume the worst without the details? Not sure why I am asking that last one since that is what we are obviously doing.

Monroe to CS-335 miles, 5 hours, 35 minutes.

Denton to CS-211/220 miles, 3 and a half hours. 

$1,209.78 per mile diffence.

Yeah but everyone knows ULM has to pay off the swamp people that surround their campus or their equipment truck will be stripped for fanboat and white lightnin still parts.

Are they flying or taking a bus? That makes a big difference. Are they going to need a hotel stay for the night? Do we? These are details that are not stated in the single numbers provided that give context. Not saying they didn't get a better deal, just saying that we have no idea if they did.

Our team stays in a hotel the night before home games so I think we can safely eliminate that "detail".

No idea on flying or driving, I was just providing a cost difference per mile.

I think this says a lot about ULM's recent success against P5 teams--yes, they lose a lot, but it gives the P5 AD and coach a way of telling their fanbase that they are playing a team at home that can beat them if they don't take them serious. Its actually a very good game for preparing your team for the rigors of conference play, even if you pound them, just because people know that they have a reputation for sneaking up on you and giving you all they got. We've seen them beat Bama, Arkansas, and Wake Forest, as well as barely lose to Arkansas, Auburn, and Baylor all within the last 8 seasons. Somehow, I can see their price being more for a bodybag game at a P5 giant, if for nothing more than their recent "success" against those teams mentioned.

Or RV just took the call from A&M's AD and said "Deal" just as soon as it was offered, which is probably more likely.

Come on, that shows great improvement! 

It's sad when you look at the schedules back then to now. They were tough but we actually beat a few P5 teams. Texas Tech and Oregon State being my favorites.

Just wow.

We are a supposed FBS program and these are the questions we are asking.

Fair enough, but there are a lot of details we just don't know, that is my point. We are so quick to point at other teams and lament that they did better when we have no idea the details of the deal and whether it is better than what we have done.

Just wow.

Did RV ask these? Not sure how my pontificating on whether getting $150k more than we did is actually a better deal means that the program is in some kind of danger. And yes, details matter.

The fact that we have to ask these stupid questions at all is a reflection on the AD.

We wouldn't be worried about this if this was a home and home, would we? Instead, we are concerned with just how high a class whore we are. Guess what? A whore is a whore.

There will never be a UNT/A&M home/home series.  It doesn't matter who the AD is.

Not sure how everything a bunch of people discuss on a message board is reflective of the AD. But assuming you are correct, then no program in the country is in good shape.

Didn't have to be A&M.

THere is more than one fish in the sea.

It's a reflection of the terrible job the AD does with the schedule that we are on here arguing about how much we whored ourselves out for.

<Is that even a sentence?>

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.

      Underrated win in my opinion. They're 3-4 but have just 1 bad loss. I say bad because I don't know much about Norfolk State. Otherwise UC Davis has the 11th ranked scorer in the country and could make some noise come conference play.

      My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs. In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family. I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.
