2016 Non-conference schedule announcement

 

Bethune-Cookman?

I thought we had either Abilene Christian/Lamar/Incarnate Word lined up for 2016?

Bethune-Cookman?

I thought we had either Abilene Christian/Lamar/Incarnate Word lined up for 2016?

In the article:

North Texas faces Bethune-Cookman on September 10 at Apogee Stadium, a game that replaces a previously schedule contest with Lamar.

We might have been afraid Lamar would beat us.

[untbowler]

wow what a brilliant lazy schedule, Lamar backs out, but instead of searching the 125+ FBS teams, nope lets just go get a weak ass MEAC team. Now Bethune Cookman will fill the stadium for sure.

Ah.  Didn't read close enough.  Good catch.

So the FCS preference isn't just a McCarney preference as we were led to believe... unless the Bethune-Cookman deal was done before McCarney left (and even if it was, why appease an underachieving McCarney with a preferred schedule?).

[Mean Green 93-98]

Of course, Bethune-Cookman beat FIU last year.

[Matt from A700]

Hey, at least we have a chance to start 2-0.

Of course, I also said at the beginning of the year we had a chance to start 4-1 this season.

When was the last time UNT's first two games were at home? Has to be a VERY rare occurrence.

[Matt from A700]

Also, according to FB schedules, UNT will host Lamar sometime in 2017.

I'm putting all of you on the honor system here.  No fair googling or looking up stuff......

 

Where is Bethune-Cookman ?

 

Extra points if you can name their colors and mascot.  Again, no fair looking.

[Eagle-96]

+ two home games to start the season. 6 home games. Only one body bag game(i know i am reaching here)

- Bethune Cookman will draw very few fans and might very well beat us after we hand them what I assume will be a very large check.

San Antonio

Blue and orange, roadrunner.

Did I win?

[ColoradoEagle]

Well, on the positive side, at least that game will be at 6:00 PM. Not a chance in hell any TV network touches it.

[James]

Completely random guess:

Iowa? Honestly have no idea.

I think they're in a deep south coastal state...  Florida/Georgia/South Carolina.   I have no idea what their colors/mascot is.   Now that may guess is in... off to google!

[Ryan Munthe]

It's actually a pretty good looking schedule, as long as they aren't noon kickoffs. Two home games back to back is pretty sweet.

[SigmaGreen]

I'll take a go at this, my guess and I only think this because of my days playing NCAA on PlayStation. Bethune-cookman is somewhere in Arkansas and the mascot is a wildcat

[GreenN'walinsVet]

Arkansas/Mississippi Area

 

Wildcats

 

Purple and White?

 

Seems like i saw them play a game on TV a few years back against another MEAC school

I believe it was an old wooden ship used during the Civil war era

[DeepGreen]

Alabama or Tennessee? Going with Tennessee.

Looked it up after I answered. Daytona Beach.

They beat FIU a few years ago. I think.
