Ive been wondering when we will find out some of our OOC games. They have this topic going on the AAC board and they all seem to know a bunch of their opponents already.

The date of our game with Georgia Tech is November 24th according to their website.

UTA releases their OOC schedule today. Assuming the series is still on, it would be UTA's turn to host at College Park Center this year. With all of UNT's big transfers coming in and UTA's losing some of its best players due to graduation, could be a very good game.

I would expect some growing pains this season from UNT.   Quite a roster turnover from what was here last season.  Thankfully, our 2 of our better players returned.

That tourney that includes Georgia Tech and Grambling State is called the Ramblin Wreck Showcase. Apparently it is a round robin and also includes Bethune Cookman and UTRGV.

Correct. I believe it's set up like the Rutgers tournament we were in last year so I'm assuming we will host one or both of those other teams as well

I'm most excited about the UT-Arlington game.  UT-Arlington is now a powerhouse, their fan support is quickly growing, I love their modern basketball arena, and who doesn't love a heated crosstown rivalry.

Also the OU game will be pretty exciting.  I know so many OU alums in DFW so it'll give me an opportunity to talk some trash before the game.

Glad you are excited about something.  Ironic that you were bitching about basketball a little while ago.

I'm going to complain about UNT athletics until I feel they are relevant again.  You guys are freaking delusional if you think I'm the only one that has a problem with the current state of the athletic program (my tuition & fees funds the athletic program so I want a better return on investment).  We got big ass athletic facilities, a big UNT community, and can't even come close to selling it out and the games are pretty unmemorable compared to games at UT, Tech, A&M, and TCU.  There are schools 1/4 our size that draw better crowds and atmosphere ... Prairie View and Grambling (two FCS schools with each having less than 10K students) drew over 50,000 at the Cotton Bowl Stadium each year.  Last year we had 39,000 for a game against Army there.

This is Texas, I expect to be among the best when it comes to athletic support and achievement but UNT is far from it.  I see my original post delete ... I see constructive criticism and the truth isn't welcomed here smh

Good gosh man, if your idea of college athletics is UT and A&M than NT is never going to measure up, NT has approximately 1/5 the budget.  Comparing NT to Prairie View and Grambling is also just as off base.  Rival games between the traditionally black colleges draw great support. 

Not one fan is happy with the situation at NT in the three main sports.  Some are happy with the current process, others not so much.

 I am actually pleased to see a current student at least connected enough to complain.  Support your school, it should be fun win or lose.   If enough students show up it could quickly change NT's athletic status.  If just 10% of students showed up for BB games, NT would quickly go to top level of the conference.  Student attendance at football is really pretty good, but even a slight increase would be very helpful for NT to climb up the athletic hierarchy. 

If NT could average 6,000 in MBB and 28,000 in football, other conferences would notice and so would recruits, the key to everything.

Love your passion but understand UT, A&M and TCU are all Big XII and received more in conference payout than we budget for our department.  Should we sell oit Apogee?  Absolutely, should we fill up the Super Pit?  Damn Right!  But understand that our growth will come from the students and recent graduates, and you all are the ones that can make game day memorable and fun for the students.  Tailgating at Apogee is great, so stake out your spot, invite all your friends and make a day of it, but don't be one of the many that don't go in to the games.

FYI...your tuition does not pay for athletics.  Your student athletic fee covers that, UNT's is probably the lowest in Texas, and provides you complimentary access to all sporting events.  Try paying A&M's student fee and then having to pay for tickets to games.  UNT's fee is a bargain.

i think TCU and SMU are looking for t-shirt fans.  Lack of large crowds has struck me as strange, it is your team ,support them through thick and thin.  I think the student attendance is fair to good but the alumni and local fan is what is hurting. I love to win but I love being at apogee on game day.  It is college football.

I seem to be the only person alive who feels like going to a game at UT Arlington is akin to watching a game at Disneyland's Toontown. 

I suppose my opinion is just flat out wrong, but man I just don't get the place.

are you talking about their New Gym?, because i have heard nothing but praise for that place.

Yeah, everybody except me just loves the place.  It feels childish and strange to me.  I don't hate it, and I don't hate UTA.  That place is just...off for college sports to me, and I realize that I am in the extreme minority on that opinion.

I don't mind the place , but it does have that minor league baseball kinda feel to it. I'm just glad it falls on a Saturday this year & I'll be able to attend

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better then these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us?
