Why wouldn't we see them? Don't you usually play a home-and-home series with the teams from the other division every two years? In 2014, we played the F_Us and UAB. I just figured that was how it would be done going forward in CUSA, since its done that way in every other cross-division in other conferences.

If not, and we play some combo of the F_Us and one against Charlotte/ODU, with two of them being here, I could see potential, certainly, for a couple of more wins. I still think 2-10 or 3-9 is the ceiling for this thing next season, with the little talent and a roster full of guys who showed they will quit on the university, but maybe the scheduling gods will help our situation by giving us 3 more of the worst FBS school in the country to play against, along with UTSA, UTEP, SMU, and Army.

I would have expected to play the F_Us on the road this year if we were just flip-flopping schedules like that.

Of course, C-USA has not had the same teams for 2 straight years since we've joined, so I have no clue.

It seems this was brought up before and someone mentioned that the conference had not been reversing the order of the CUSA East opponents.  However, that may have been due to all the conference changes.

One more season and then only 1 CUSA East opponent per year (unless there are more conference changes of course).

You very well may be right, but I figured once Tulane, Tulsa, ECU, and UAB left, that the conference schedules would look like other conferences do when they play cross-divisional games. Maybe not...

I just know that Marshall, WKU, and MUTS are miles and miles ahead of F_U, ODU, and Charlotte in the east...and us in the west.

and i'm glad we had a craptastically tough schedule...would not have wanted the fu's or odu/charlotte on the schedule...hopefully, we get them next year...the poor record, along with the poor showings of the team, helped escort the old coach out and a new one in...

Now if only the poor scheduling and attendance would do the same for the AD.

      Tulane (2/8/25)

      I understand this point. But I also always seem to disagree with it. At 18-25 years old I don't recall being sore, fatigued, battling my mental psyche in hopes of upcoming rest, etc. Just didn't happen and I don't think it happens for guys that are far and away more athletically gifted and in shape than I ever was. We just, lost. And there are other reasons for it. And if we don't come out and get more active on offense, knock down some early confidence building shots and get our guards going early we may lose again. Tulane is in the 2nd tier of AAC teams, the tier we are trending into. They aren't a slouch... like, uh, utsa.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      As a student during the time of the first vote, there were a couple of reasons it failed- one of which I would blame RV. When asked to explain exactly how the fee increase would be used to renovate Fouts or build a stadium, he wasn’t able to show a clear vision for it. Those who were skeptical (myself included) would have been more supportive had there been a clear plan. What wasn’t his fault was that the AD was pushing hard for it with students, which created a backlash and riled up the “no” vote. One of the tipping points, as I recall it now in my old age, was an alumni funded publicity campaign in favor of the vote. I think there were table tents or other materials pushing for a yes. I definitely recall people saying that if the alumni wanted it so badly they should pay for it. (And they were correct, but we still don’t.) The hard push on both fronts ran counter to UNT’s rebellious culture. We ended up funding the 2002 increase in the student government at a reduced rate in order to be able to acquire the property across the highway that now houses all our athletics programs. (Most student senators who voted for it got kicked out by angry students, btw) That is likely why the next vote was done as a student initiative, but I would suspect it was coordinated with RV, but I guess we would need @UNTflyer to confirm.

      Should Spring Games be Eliminated

      My guess is the cadets there do plenty of sword fighting but probably not the kind you were thinking…
