Ah yes, UTSA...the only team to ever make us their mortal enemy. This is their Super Bowl, so it’ll be closer than it should, as it almost always has been since they moved up to CUSA with us. But their coach is a freaking idiot when it comes to x’s and o’s, so we will win still by a couple of TDs. We will pull away late, but our defense will keep them in this game for three quarters, Im afraid. But I still see us winning 38-24...

I actually disagree... and this is more of a gut-feeling than anything I can back up... but I think NT comes out with focus & urgency and frustration over what happened the past 2 weeks. 
The crowd sees/feels it and jumps in as well.  UTSA gets steamrolled early.  But they wont give up, because it's North Texas.   I see this game looking eerily like NT/SMU, except in reverse where NT jumps out to a big lead quick and then there's somewhat of a good game afterwards.

I say that every year, and usually that never happens.

Time for us to curb stomp these kids... We need to win this one and win BIG.

The more time that passes from Cal, the more encouraged I am that we are starting to figure out who we are.  lets get to 1-0 in CUSA play.

Also... time to put to bed that they are our rival.  I win this week will start to put us ahead in the series...

I like you want to crush them.  But they are our rival whether we like it or now.  We play for bragging rights in the state, for recruiting and of course our record in C-USA West.  I witnessed them damn bear beat us in the Alamodome last year.  They recruit well under Wilson and have good talent.  This is going to be a super tough game.

Nope.

we lay plenty of in-state foes regularly. They are zero threat to top us in the West rankings. We compete with tons of teams for Texas recruits.  I’m skeptical that somehow UTSA is in the hunt for our targets more than any Texas peer.

they do give us fits though. So they have that.

want a “like it or not” post? Let’s have a discussion about us being the new sexy media darlings. With zero titles under Seth, but tons of media love, we appear to be the new MTSU. 😉

Finally a rivalry where the all-time series is relevant, played by two schools at the same level, and not dominated by one side during the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations.

Believe it or not, UTSA was once up three games to one over North Texas before order was restored to the universe. Now the series, tied at three all, should get forever tilted in favor of the Green.

They say playing football at UTSA is a lot like playing video games at Pinstack ... You'll get to play indoors and you'll always get to watch other people go bowling.

      Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

      RIP Dana. Too young indeed. He worked his craft his whole life. A short life well lived.

      what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.

      Craponi should give his salary to Rod Brown for misusing him. In general, Rod has never been valued enough. He has been outstanding in very tough circumstances.

      Well NT 80, you are right. I am a dinosaur, but far from being a bitter fan. I have had a lot of joy through UNT athletics through out the decades but also some disappointment. I don't understand why our students show so little support and alumni give so little money. I don't understand why we can't build a winning football program but I expect you will tell us. I agree that my social graces have slipped but one of the pleasures of becoming an old man is not having to suffer fools.I will also at 82 admit to occasional memory lapses although I must say you are unforgettable. In summary I disagree with most but not all of your posts, respect your right to have a different opinion, find you easy to pimp,and wish you a blessed life.
