I know we all hate UTSA. But we need to remember to have some class.

Not my favorite school but I have to give them credit and respect for what they have done this year.  We have only dreamed of season like theirs.   I hope we beat them but I hope they get a good bowl game and win.   We need to figure out what they have done and do it.  I am tried of being in middle of the pack.  I don't think our current coach is the guy to lead us out of the middle of the pack.

Y'all have at it.  I save my animus for those that are significant

Yes let’s not get excited about the chance to beat an undefeated conference opponent at home with a chance to also make a bowl.

Hate?  Nah...more like indifferent.  

Hats off to them to get to 11-0 as that's not easy at all no matter who you are or who you play.  They have, however, benefited from a very favorable schedule this year, but the players don't get to choose the schedule.  They have to line up every week and beat their opponent.  They've done that this year.

I think the ranking services have definitely taken this into consideration and is why an 11-0 team is 15th in the AP poll, 20th in the coaches poll, and 22nd in the CFP poll with 4, 3-loss teams and 8, 2-loss teams ranked ahead of them.  They are unchanged in the CFP and AP polls from last week, but dropped 2 spots in the coaches poll.  Probably because it took a last second tipped pass to get past a 3-loss UAB team at home.  

They have made a name for themselves this year.  Good for them and the conference.

Now it's our turn.  GMG!

This is pretty much my take on it as well.  I don't view them as a rival.  They pick at us because they want us to be their rival to legitimize their fanbase more (note, I didnt say program...they've performed well and I give them much respect).  Their fanbase's football knowledge is pretty lacking and they tend to be pretty tacky about things.  On top of that, they do things pretty cheap and it's funny.  I have UTSA friends and I know they're good people.  Their fans are the only reason for much to-do when we play them though.  I hope we don't fall into their baiting trap of treating nasty with nasty.  I wanna kick their ass sure, but don't give them the satisfaction of treating them as a rival.  Keep our sights set higher.

A win over the #15 team in the nation, whoever it is, is a big deal.  Good for UTSA.  Better for North Texas if we can beat them.  
 

Do your part.  Come to Apogee Saturday and cheer the Mean Green.  4 hours on a 4 day weekend.  The turkey and dressing will still be there when you get back.

That, sir, is a very bold presupposition.

Im already stealing bits of the premade menu items my wife has made. By Saturday the only carcass I intend to feast on is some very gamey roadrunner. Which I intend to chase with a victory celebration 2 piece KFC combo with mashed potatoes. 

And apple pie. Cause 'murica

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.

      Don’t know. Wish we could get all three in Denton. That is the most explosive high school team I have seen in years, maybe ever.

      He'll be gone even if he is the starter. They all leave these days. I'm not framing a jersey for any of them!
