Pour me a little more green kool-aid and I might predict 10-2.  Until then I'm thinking more like 7-5.  I'm thinking the new defensive coaches will coach their asses off this first year.

I’d need a lot of Everclear in that green kool-aid to find 10 wins😁😝.

Have no idea why you got some downvotes for that take.  (Unless it's just a reflexive "Liberty team bad" vote).  I think you're 100% correct.  That's the only team on our schedule that regularly appears on the various "super-early" Top 25 lists out there.  They were 1 point away against NC State from going undefeated.  Personally, we should look forward to the rare possible Top 25 team playing in our stadium.  I guess the question for the board is when was the last time we had a ranked team in our house?  I'm class of '93 and don't recall any that I'm aware of from like 1990 --> forward.  ?

I mean we were supposed to have A&M last year, that’s the only time in memory.

That was at A&M.  We've suffered through plenty of bodybag games at top 5 teams, but I don't remember having them in Apogee/Fouts.

Three wins as of right now, probably NwSt, UTEP, and FIU. Although FIU is on the road and I think Jones is bringing in transfers to try to save his job. 

Let’s see how the spring shakes out and what transfers we bring in (or lose) in the coming months. If we bring in a couple of P5 defenders, hopefully at DT and CB/S, then things will look a little brighter.

You have to play someone in non-conference.   If SMU and Liberty scare NT, then they don't belong in D1.  This schedule should prepare NT for the conference race.  I don't care if NT only wins one, I doubt NT is going to be in the running for top 25 consideration.

Being competitive is my NT oc goal, than win the conference.

The 3 FBS OOC games are the only ones that "could be" loses. CUSA is wide open IMO. It's not like this is a P5 conference.....worst Division- worst conference in FBS. Seems like every school in this conference has some issues and any school could sort them out and surprise everyone. Perhaps it will be North Texas.

Tulsa was 20th when we hosted them at Fouts in 1982. That is the last ranked team at North Texas that I know of.  In 97, we played #22 A&M at Texas Stadium but I think that was billed as a neutral game.

It was billed as a NT home game, but it didn't feel like one.

I’ll be traveling (if possible) to at least 8 games.

Hoping to hit up Ruston as well, and hoping that my streak of road trip Ls stop soon🤣


Please stop going to away games.

      Build your team

      I’ll take your starting 5 and reserves with two changes. Give me Umoja Gibson in place of Woolridge and JJ Murray over Reese* *My son would kill me for taking Reese out (he is his all-time favorite Mean Green player) but I think I have enough scoring and I can’t pass up JJ’s ability to take on the opposing team’s best scorer.

      Dept. of Education says Title IX applies to payments to athletes (NIL)

      Let’s be honest Title 9 is the dumbest ruling ever and always has been. I am all for women’s sports, I am all for schools offering scholarships for those sports if they choose to. Requiring every school to have an equal number of scholarships when football takes 85 is so beyond crazy, and this is crazier. Something meant to benefit female athletes has clearly been detrimental for men’s sports. We are not the only school who doesn’t have men’s soccer or baseball because of it, although someone has posted here before that’s not what’s stopping a baseball program from starting. We have 100x a chance of placing a player in the pros (or USMNT) in soccer and baseball yet we don’t have those programs. Truly makes no sense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      😂 All those schools you mentioned have significantly more football accomplishments than UNT and frequent (sometimes deep) entries into NCAA tournament. It is just a bad comparison. You can expect to microwave fan support on a level with those schools from one NIT title which at best (perception wise) makes you no better than 30-20th basketball team that year with your stars and coach leaving the team before the next season. I make 4 out of 6 Saturday Football games a season. I like being outside in good weather. I don’t live in Denton and the last thing I want to do after work is drive for an hour in rush hour traffic to get to a volleyball or basketball game. I suspect the average alumni that doesn’t live in Denton or border city feels the same way. I made a home game the year they won the NIT and preceding season. The SuperPit needs work, concessions food wasn’t good with long lines to get it. I guarantee the fan experiences at the home basketball arenas of the teams you mentioned aren’t like that.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I think we’re a good team that’s trending up. An at large bid is unlikely…we’d have to win all/most of our games, strong showing in the Conference Tourney, and have no surprise teams taking any auto bids. NIT is still a GREAT tournament. It doesn’t get the media hype, but it’s good basketball.
