13. North Texas 45, UTSA 23

Honestly, UTSA was lucky to get to 11-0. The Roadrunners won two games with a postgame win expectancy of 10% or lower (the wins over Memphis in September and UAB last week), and regression to the mean struck them hard in rainy Denton. They lost three fumbles, and smoking-hot North Texas -- once 1-6, now 6-6 -- went on a 28-0 midgame run.

 

 

We landed at 13. Here is the article for those of you interested in those sorts of things: https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/32738856/twenty-games-made-college-football-rivalry-week-well-bedlam

There has got to be a trophy for this game, as much as anyone can say it is or isn’t a rivalry, it seems to mean a lot for both teams. They ruined our chances at a conference championship, and we ruined there perfect season. I don’t know a good name…Battle of the Birds is all I got, but it needs and should happen.

I was looking for a "cow dung" trophy that would go to the loser of the UNT-nutsak annual football game but couldn't find anything.  In my "research" for such a trophy I came across a lot of weird shit that countries do with cow dung.  It's disgusting.  Stuff that would gag a maggot!

I agree. How about the Nest Bowl?

Eagles and Roadrunners will eat snakes, lizards etc. I suggest a Trophy that features an Eagle and a Roadrunner fighting over a Horned Frog. The tasty treat can be found just off of I35 South of UNT and North of UTSA.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
