September will provide great opportunities for wins against SMU and Arkansas. If North Texas beats SMU we are looking in great shape. The author is hoping for a sellout at Apogee against SMU.

I like this article, this year is the perfect year to get W's against SMU/ARK. Although, I believe we should be winning against SMU every year... They have lost some good Seniors and are starting new coach that game. I wonder if SMU will travel a little better given that they want to see what their new coach can do his first game? I know that's a lot to ask the SMU fans. drive 30-40 miles north to see a game please... 

Arky, I'll be at that game! Can't wait! Going to see with my Arkansas alum brother and his friends. If this is a year to pull an upset against an SEC team. It has to be one of the biggest rebuild years Arkansas has had in awhile.

A sellout and victory versus an SEC team are both in the "I'll believe it when I see it" category. 

Hoping like hell for both, though. In my 25 years of fandom, I can only think of one P5 victory on the road.

They watch the game from their glorified front lawn on big ass flat screens.  They are not going to travel any better.  In fact, I anticipate less traveling because they will be pessimistic about the new coaching staff.

Given our history, I'd normally be ecstatic if we're 2-2 when the calendar hits October, but this year I'll be a little disappointed.

The new-ish looking Mustangs head up 35 to contest the Hippogriff Trophy once again. 

My god, why isn't this a thing? It makes so much sense.

On Liberty: Scheduling this game doesn't make much sense, but here it is. Liberty, an FBS so unpopular even the Sun Belt won't touch it, welcomes the Mean Green. 

Thank you fellow objective rational human. This is the correct take.

I expect the SMU game to be one of the top 3 most attended games in Apogee history.   Maybe even the most attended.   We should have a little bit of momentum coming into the season and bringing back almost all of a top 25 offense in the country should be a good start for attendance!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
