We faced a really tough Rice team in 2013 to clinch our bowl eligibility.

I believe this team will definitely be up for the challenge if they are 5-3 on November 5. And they should have a huge crowd behind him.

I'm just wondering if the Homecoming King and Queen will be gender neutral. Then what do we call them? Homecoming people(s)?

That is a conversation better suited for the eagles nest not the football forum.

A thousand pardons,sir. Just a random though and a lame attempt to be funny. I thought it was, anyway.

No problem at all, it is just some subjects here take on a life of their own.

Such a situation should be a bump in expected attendance, good weather and I could see a very loud stadium.  

LaTech will bring a loud crowd, too  (probably half of  whom live in DFW).  It will be a fun Game Day & be what college football is all about.

GMG!

PS: Can you believe all this is happening after last years diasaster?

Nearly impossible to be worse than last year, so the choices were same or better. Even same would be hard to fathom. I like better.

Not IF we go into homecoming week 5-3, but WHEN we go into homecoming 5-3 Apogee better be to capacity or damn close to it. GMG

It will be interesting if Wren can get Homecoming as our first sellout if this situation plays out. We will still need decent weather.

I think it's asking a bit much for Wren to pull a sellout for this game but it could be the biggest crowd of the year.

Yeah, I don't think a sellout is going to happen this season.

If Wren (or rather his new hires) can be as effective as we hope and we continue to have this kind of on the field success it could be possible to get a sell out next season.

I think a sellout is probably out of reach in year 1 given our history. But I think we could have a record crowd WHEN we beat utsa. And a record crowd will be 1k+ short of a sellout and I could live with that.

 

*Weather on the 5th is calling for high of 67, low of 52 with 30% chance of light rain.

Hey I thought going into this season there was not a chance in hell we could be bowl eligible this year, and now it looks probable.   Why not shoot high? The new man may have a plan.

What if we host the conference Championship this year? Not saying we will.

Compare it to 2013 when we were rolling and 6-3 heading into homecoming. That game drew just over 26K announced. If we can take care of business vs UTSA then we should look for about the same.

I think WKU is winning the East.  

They already beat MTSU and they will be favored in their remaining games:

  • FAU
  • FIU
  • Marshall
  • North Texas

If by the Power of Eppy's Ghost we won out and beat them we would face them again in Denton.  The only wrench in that machinery is that if we did beat WKU, MTSU will almost assuredly beat out their schedule (FIU, UTSA, Charlotte, FAU) and we would have to play them in the Boro.  

 

First things first though, lets get win #5.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Maybe we'll end up as Fenway Bowl foes in the future like y'all and BC did.

      DRC: UNT hires new volleyball coach

      Don't know what changed but after a seven-game losing streak, the ladies take down Wichita State and Rice at home in one weekend to clinch a spot in the conference tournament, where they will take on Rice again. Rice was 13-2 in conference coming into the game and Wichita, the tournament host, was also Top 4 in the league.

      UNT Athletics | UNT Board of Regents Approves Athletic Center Phase 1 Design

      DENTON, Texas – UNT’s Board of Regents has approved the completion of design work for phase one of the Athletics Center expansion, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Monday. "As we face new challenges ahead, we're excited to move swiftly with Phase 1, taking full advantage of the momentum we've built and the resources at our disposal in an ever-evolving construction market,” Mosley said. “I am deeply grateful for the many individuals who have stepped up to support this effort, ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible experience for the young men and women in our programs. The student-athlete experience, capital investments, and NIL opportunities are all integral parts of the puzzle we’re working to solve every day. Our dedicated Mean Green donors and alumni continue to rise to the occasion, making a profound impact. I encourage everyone to identify the area they're passionate about and join us in this exciting era for UNT Athletics!" More than $4.4 million from 38 UNT supporters has been committed toward the anticipated $10 million fundraising goal needed to complete phase one of the Athletics Center expansion. Total cost of the project will be based on the price of materials at the time of construction. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size. Phase one will include a 50-yard plyometric turf, 16 high performance dual-sided combo racks, 4,000-square-foot of open floor, 1,000-square-foot mezzanine of cardio, and a 1,2550 square foot nutrition site. Expanding this space will enhance UNT Athletics' competitive edge by providing student-athletes with a premier environment to train, strengthening their physical abilities, mental toughness, and well-being. This area will also promote increase team building and cohesion, allowing our student-athletes to foster a sense of team unity and camaraderie. Currently, UNT Athletics has the second-smallest weight room in the American Athletic Conference. Phase two of the expansion project will include improvements to sports medicine, the football locker room as well as additions of a new academic support center for all student-athletes and additional premium seating for DATCU Stadium. Phase 2 would follow the completion of Phase 1 and by way of a successful Phase 2 campaign. The UNT Athletic Center was originally opened in 2005 and is home to administrative offices, football coaches' offices, football locker room and equipment room, but it is truly the home to all Mean Green athletics including sports medicine and rehab in addition to strength and conditioning. We encourage individuals interested in learning how to support UNT Athletics to contact the Mean Green Scholarship Fund staff at MGSF@unt.edu or by visiting MeanGreenScholarshipFund.com. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact and helps advance our mission toBuild Champions and Prepare Leaders. For more information visit: www.MeanGreenSports.com/ACExpansion
