For me it's

Smut  Nutsak, Tulsa, UAB and Memphis.

Let's throw in LA Tech as a regular OOC opponent.

I don’t think we need to keep playing Sun Belt teams myself.  I wish them no ill will but all they will do is talk about hey we have a better record against the AAC and crap like that.

I really see some potential with Tulane.  First we have a lot more in common with them academically than say a UTSA or that type of school.   Sort of a battle of the green type of theme.  I also think they have a ton of DFW and Texas alumni who will be interested to coming to Denton for the games which is nice.

Tulane is not in any way a natural rival to NT. They would be a natural rival to Rice perhaps but they have much different academic standards than us and are too far away to be a rival. Plus we have barely played them. 
If we are going to strive to have a rival that is academically out of reach I would suggest Rice since they are in-state foes.

Seems that most consider SMU to be the #1 rival. With the Mustangs as the home opener, will it be a sellout or just a full house?

Well it is a 6:30 start time, that helps. Will they consider 9 dollars and 40 cent tickets. lol

If we beat UTEP, this game could have some real build up (are the students back?).  If we lose, I don’t really know what the crowd will look like for the home opener.  SMU typically doesn’t travel well.

UNT: we don’t want to host July 4th anymore

Denton: ok, we’ll move it to the park

UNT: why doesn’t Denton like us anymore?


There are about 50 similar examples I can name off the top of my head. As someone who went to UNT not from the area but now makes their permanent residence in Denton, I’m just saying, unlike most college towns, UNT is actively fighting at Denton at every turn.

It’s like they’re bitter they aren’t in Frisco or something.

I live here too and don’t see it as adversarial, more like a long married couple that are unhappy but stay together for the kids.  The fact is you can’t have one without the other and both sides know this.  Sadly the City chooses to work against UNT instead of with them in my experience.

Tell me another college town that hosts a team that plays FBS football and either doesn't care or actively loathes its existence...it's just amazing how little interest this town has for this school's athletic teams.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Join the Infantry in Houston - Tuesday, 2/11 at 8pm

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.

      12,400 announced at Providence today, who came into the game with a record of 9-10. Providence is about the same distance to Boston as Denton is to Dallas.
