What control do we have over the conference game scheduling?

We have enough control to move games and days. So we need to do it. Not that this year was horrible but Halloween and TX OU weekend should be planned for.  

Do you think we have no control on our schedule?

I had been awarded 12 tickets to that game.  I brought 5 other dads and their sons.  I’d hoped they’d have a great experience and maybe come back.  One of them was an alum.  To my knowledge, none of them have come to a game since.

Or maybe you were just a really bad host, like my dad at being at home during the football season :( 

@UNT 90 Grad is my new forum dad forever

wasn't this the game that chico let everyone play.  I still remember Greer throwing that touchdown pass to the Utep db.  We would have won that game if chico had played to win and not giver everyone a trophy.  I guess he knew the job was not his and just gave up.

Is this the game the great Carlos Harris got ejected for a personal foul, and then started celebrating as he was getting escorted back to the locker room?

I don't know, but he and his twitter account were my absolutely all-time UNT favorites.  Nothing like constant outward class.  

Isn't he the guy who ended up literally standing outside the Cowboys stadium with a cardboard sign that said "All I want is a chance."? 

I've google searched it, but can't find it.

Yes, this was the game.

No, that was the linebacker transfer from Oregon.

Chico also decided to play all of the QBs that day, so the illustrious duo of McNulty and Greer got their last snaps of their careers. 

I know these guys get a lot of flack on here but I will never forget the feeling of driving down to Austin with so much confidence after our bowl game and then having to watch them throw more interceptions than completions in that game. I didn’t know how bad it was going to get.

I went down there shortly after a divorce with a new girl, a UT fan...    She to this day has not let me live down that embarrassment of a loss...   And to make matters worse, the trip was a bust too.

 

That whole weekend sucked and I had no idea how much worse it was going to get either.

Little to zero.  Time of day is even dictated by others.

I have buddies tied to other G5 schools across the country and most have a weekend conflict of somesort they can manage to not have a game on, Yet UNT can't in CUSA? Think again it does not help the conference to have empty games

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.
