Im happy that there are no Thursday Night games as of right now but dont know how I feel about UTSA so early in the season just because its such an intense game every year

Yet.  Conference games can still be moved.  Hopefully we won't have that this year.

I agree. I especially do not like having the Houston game the week after UTSA. Gunna be a difficult 3 game stretch with Cal ahead of those two games.

One thing is that UTSA plays Army the week before so if Army is as good or close to what they were last year or the years we played them, they are going to wear down that defense BUT who knows

Guys need to circle November 9th.  That game will be for the West Division crown.
Glad to have a Brent Stockstill-less MT come back to Apogee.

Last time they were here:

 

[Philip Ferguson]

I like playing SMU in Dallas...it's like getting another home game for us!  GMG

[MeanGreen17]

15-0 is going to look so good alongside this schedule. 😉

[greenminer]

@MeanGreenTexan good grief I did not realize it's been 5 years since they've been to Apogee?!

How about that. Thanks for the info.

 

[unachris]

I love the fact that 4 of the first 5 games are effectively home games for us.  Has that ever happened before?

[Felozano]

ACU at home, then SMU at their place is a great way to start the year!  Cal, UTSA, UH is a tough stretch, but the bye follows.  Looking forward to playing UAB at home.  Should be a great year!  GMG!

[NorthTexasWeLove]

12-0 or bust, haha just kidding, 14-0. 

[jredallas]

If UNT starts 3-0 and 4-0, then (barring horrible weather), not only will we see the first Apogee Stadium sellout, but we will see the first two Apogee sellouts in a row.

Wished we could find that defense again.

could be interesting....

we play at La Tech (will be a tough game)

Then La Tech goes to UAB the week before UAB comes to Denton

Could be some conference championship implications there....

[TheColonyEagle]

Hate the Saturday after Thanksgiving home game.

Nothing you can do about it though....it's just gonna work out that way some years

CUSA hoping the game determines the west division champ

The conference has been nice in that we end up with this game at home every other year.

[Stix]

TX - OU is Oct. 19th, when we have an away game - again - good!

Homecoming will likely be Nov 2 vs UTEP, but could be Oct 19 vs the MUTS.

It's difficult to make it to Denton two weekends in a row, but with it being UTSA and UH, I will make it happen.  But I probably won't make the game at SMUt - 4 trips in 5 weeks is a bit much.

This is the earliest I remember the schedule being released - I can get a jump on putting in for vacation days before everyone else on my team at work.

[Matt from A700]

Since we have a "rival" like UTSA so early, maybe we have back-to-back sellouts in September?

I'll have to miss ACU and SMU because of work, but looking at taking a trip to Lake Tahoe/San Francisco and travelling to the Cal game.

Also gonna make the trip to Ruston for the first time.

The Rice game would have been more convenient the Saturday after Thanksgiving because my family already lives in the Central Texas area.

Tougher season for sure, but I think there's still a plausible way we get to 10-2.
