Positive thoughts about the UNT 2016 schedule ONLY

Harry · February 4, 2016

1). SMU might actually bring a good crowd this year? Year two of Morris? Any takers?

2). Nice to open the season with a home game against a rival. There will be a lot of good back and forth. It's a great statement opportunity for Littrell.

3). We actually have a bye in the middle of the year where it could help.

4). Home schedule is a big improvement with SMU, La. Tech, Marshall and Southern Miss in Apogee.

5). We actually get to start the season when everyone else does.

6). Only one body bag game with Florida. WKU, Marshall and Tech will be tough but 2 of the 3 are at home.

7. What kind of beer will Harry be drinking at the SMU game?

Huff · February 4, 2016

No home games on Halloween night or the Saturday after Thanksgiving are good things in my book.

Tyler Maryak · February 4, 2016

Kind of a repeat of #4, but most of our tough games are at home, so we at least get to have a nice, big crowd at home.

Cerebus · February 4, 2016

At no point do we have to play a team of LASER equipped super raptors.
Unlike ancient Aztec ball games, the losing team will not be sacrificed to appease the feathered serpent god, quetzalcoatl.
We finally play Marshall at home.

MEANGREENCOACH2 · February 4, 2016

6 home games and besides FCS school you might actually know who that team is!

Aldo · February 4, 2016

How's the weather in West Point in October? Never been.

It's sad that the main moderator has to post that this thread is for positive thoughts only. Our fan base just makes you shake your head in shame way too often.

I can see 3-4 wins. Give a competitive team with improved stats and I will be happy. Love the home games!

HoustonEagle · February 4, 2016

Regardless of the schedule I want to show up again. That is a step in the right direction as I was close to being done.

Your comment is not a positive thought. Now mine isn't either. See what you've started?

If Harry doesn't do something to control all these negative vibes you are putting out we are going to have to fly a banner over his house.

And even though we have a game the same day as UT-OU, it's Marshall, which should be a good draw. Hopefully it will be an evening kickoff. Maybe that will be picked to be our Thursday TV game?

For me, living in the Houston area, besides there being 6 home games, I get the every-other-year Rice "home" game, and UTSA is also a great road trip. Add the possibility of combining the Army Game with a trip to visit my Mom on Long Island, and I might make it to 9 games this year!

And, @meanJewGreen, no conflicts with the Jewish Holidays this year.

I'll be anxiously awaiting your gofundme link for this.

Oh! We're 1-0 against Florida!

Three or four wins isn't positive. I see six or seven wins. That is predicated on beating Rice though.

UNT Five&Dime · February 4, 2016

12-0 = Top 25

MeanGreenTexan · February 4, 2016

The bye comes at the perfect time as I imagine our defense will need a little extra time to prepare for Army's triple option.

MGNation92 · February 4, 2016

Our new offensive scheme will put us in a position to be competitive with every team on our schedule, including Florida. If we lose I think it'll close and competitive, rather than losing by 40 every game like last year.

You realize Florida had the #8-ranked defense last year, right? Our offense can be awesome, but when it runs up against a great defense... *stops this thought & begins thinking positive* ...Florida is gonna get LIT UP!!!
