2016 UNT Football Non-conference slate is out

Bethune-Cookman?? Sounds like a name for a funeral parlor. And I thought it couldn't get any worse than Incarnate Word, Lamar, Liberty or Abilene Christian. Nothing screams big time football like having those schools on our schedule.

Gawd, I hope not. 6:00 is blasted hot in September, and the students will again be baking in the sun for the first hour. There is too much emphasis placed on getting the people up in the air-conditioned levels home in time to watch their Golden Girls reruns.
Unless there is some type of valid reason, and valid reason does not include ESPN 3 or Fox Unknown Channel webcasts, start all early season home games at 7:00 or 7:30. It's been a working formula for Texas high schools since, well, forever, and it will work for North Texas. People like to do social activities at the social time of the day.
That September 3 game against SMU is our last scheduled home game with them. Everything possible needs to be done to make that game an all green sellout. Playing it in the heat of the day because of some crappy television scheduling will again kill attendance.

I have never understood why we play the hot games at 6. But I don't understand anything this AD does either.

Folks, it doesn't get lower than this...we are being asked by a FCS team's fan, civilly, not in a Cougar Queen snotty fashion, if we would ever consider playing his FCS team from the Pacific Northwest, that beat us in the greatest loss in the modern history of college football, if we hope to never see them again because of the absolute beating they gave to us on our field on Homecoming...
And the saddest of sad answers is simply, yes--we don't want to ever see you again...because our AD will probably hire someone who can't beat you or stronger FCS teams like you.

I did't mean to be snooty.... I just thought that the last thing you wouldn't want to hear all week wouldn't be how good you were, but a constant reminder about what happened the last time we met.

We have been dealing with that this week with our game with Montana and and all the smack that is going on their fan forums about the lack of success against we've had against them in previous meetings.

RV sucks at scheduling. He lied about getting better teams here. Underwhelming as usual.

If he had any balls he would have called Portland State for a game up there and try to win back the money UNT paid them to embarrass us.

RV sucks as an AD.

Sure something does: losing to one of them 66-7...

But, just tell your college buddies who could give a shit about UNT athletics that we are playing BC at home. You aren't really lying (at least in RV's book) and they will never check to find out the truth.

Because just about all of our alumni don't give a shit about anything to do with athletics.

Thanks RV.

Maybe F_U.

Yes, I believe BCC is a historically black college.

Wow. We're getting trolled (nicely) by Portland freaking State.

Awesome. We deserve it, but still.

You think Portland State would wager the $450,000 we just paid them on a rematch?

If we say double or nothing? Absolutely. They'd kill us again and take our money. They prison raped us at will once. They'd do it again.

You might have thought we'd beat SMU again this year after putting a 43-6 stomping on them a year ago. How'd that work out for us?

You are assuming Portland State is a heartless & leaderless team. They aren't. We can't always make that claim anymore after our team quit.

Y'all can give me thumbs down all night but the fact remains they made a mockery of our team and could have scored 100. They are way better than us in every aspect of the game.
