I went cal and houston. Nobody cares about SMU really. Winning at Cal and beating houston would be much more of a statement.

But as I understand the question, if we don’t beat Southern Meth, we lose to Southern Meth.

6 for Heisman

It’s funny but in a way we play a partial AAC schedule this year with SMU and Houston...

that makes 5 Texas teams, 6 if you count ACU.  That’s a pretty damn nice schedule.  Think about when we were in the Belt and had not one conference team in the state.

SMU and Houston. We directly compete with them for recruits. Cal would give us some street cred, but would that play better with recruits?  Our win vs Arkansas made a national splash because of the return. I don’t know. For me, it’s “let’s win Texas!”

Tough hypothetical.

I ended up making my choice by asking:  Would I rather lose to SMU or Cal?  When you look at it that way it becomes much easier to decide IMO.

Speak for yourself, two of my best friends went to SMUT and I had a really good time rubbing it in their faces last year.

All three are going to be absolute shoot-outs with the offenses each team fields.  Granted dirty schmoo has some work to do to get to where Dykes' teams usually are.

I picked schmoo and Houston.  If only to make a statement against the AAC and our fellow in-staters.  Cal is a weird place to play a game and a loss that far out west could more easily be forgiven (so long as we don't pull the crap we did against Utah St and get blown out).

I would choose UH and SMU for several reasons. 

- SMU should lose every time they take the field.  I honestly hope for them to lose their Spring game each year.  

- A win over Cal and a loss to either of the AAC teams cheapens the Cal win to me.  It's easy for people to say, "North Texas beat a P5 team, but they're still not better than (insert SMU or Houston)"

What better way too get the AAC's attention, then to bet SMU and UH this season!

This would be a nice statement for sure... Show that we can hang.  UH will be the biggest non conference game for Seth and co for sure. That will be a statement win for the program to win that one at home.

I went with SMU and Houston - that will bring the most eyes to the program locally..  But I want to finish Non-Conference 4-0...   I want to send Mason and these Seniors out with the most amazing season, which includes multiple sellouts of Apogee.

The Houston and SMU games are the biggest games of the year and of Littrell's tenure here. Houston is the mid-major top dog in Texas, and we've never beaten SMU in back to back seasons. 

Attendance, Recruiting, and our confidence headed into conference play will be primarily based on the outcome of these two games.

To me, this is literally the season.

Exactly. I expect the Houston game to be our first ever sell out at Apogee. Winning in front of a sell out crowd would be a milestone for our program.

      Not sure if we'd hire a guy...as we replaced Jalie with a guy. And I think they like to have at least some women's head coaches. Found this guy....at Arkansas State. They're 26-5..... https://astateredwolves.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/brian-gerwig/980

      The Band

      I personally think that the playing music over the PA at times when the band would typically be playing has negatively impacted the cadence for when and how the band plays during the games. I don't want to be all old man about it, but if I want to listen to the stuff that is played on the PA system (majority of which I actually do like), I have about 10 different devices I can play that on myself. When I go to a college football game, I want to hear the friggin' band play during timeouts and between plays, when appropriate. It's college football, not an NBA game. When I look back at attending games at Fouts as a student in the 90s', I absolutely remember the band playing, and I enjoyed it then just as I do now. If they were playing other music, maybe they were, but I would have no memory of that whatsoever. Additionally, I know there has been some other negative thoughts about the band overall, and not that I have been in band since I played trumpet as a sophomore in high school so I am no expert, but I was absolutely blown away by the halftime performance this week. I know majority of it was a rehash of other bits and pieces that had already been done this year, but damn that was a strong close.
