Not a question but a request-

Please, please, please bring back the 7-10 minute highlight videos. I get the shorter ones in bad games but when we’re good I constantly watch them. The longer ones against Army, La Tech, Tulsa, USM and others are gold.

The digital presence of the athletic program is very underwhelming. They’ve been posting old content lately on YouTube and it just makes the program look bad. Instead of reposting 2-3 minute highlights of every game last year, maybe a 10-15 season long review? There’s probably a question in there but I can’t think of a good way to word it lol

I'm looking around YYT and seeing the same content across many athletic programs.  New coach introductions.  Season previews.  Some old highlights.

Not trying to be combative.  If you have an example of a channel that is really exceptional, I'm curious and would love to see it.

I think the whole year in review for the entire program was two minutes

What steps are being taken to improve the selection of merchandise available for UNT fans? It always seems that the coaches and staff are wearing great apparel but nothing we can ever get access to.

Granted there was a lot going on this game but is this too much to ask. I’m literally 4K of the 7k views and I was at the game.

Why do so many on here seem to think NT ever really had a baseball program?  It was a requirement for conference inclusion at the time and NT did the absolute minimum to qualify.  Volunteer coaches, played in a municipal ballpark, and gave out if I remember correctly 1 1/2 scholarships.  

They did have suprixing success given the investment, but NT never took it seriously.

What's funny is I used to hate the super long highlight videos because they would include a bunch of 3 yard runs or mundane defensive stops for minimal yardage. But now they've done a complete 180 and cut the videos down to 2 minutes. What's annoying is they start a lot of the plays after the ball has already been snapped to the QB so it gives the video a rushed, jerky feeling.

I'd actually really like for this to be brought up with Wren. They've been reposting dozens of old videos for no apparent reason. And I agree, if they're going to post "Season in Review" videos they need to be more than a few minutes long. Comes across as cheap.

We all know that revenue generated from college football is driving this round of conference realignment.  But there are other considerations that can distinguish your athletics department and give your school an edge when the football programs are basically equal.  With that in mind, if one the more powerful conferences came calling with an invitation to join with prerequisite that UNT stand up a Gymnastics program (which would be the one tier 1 university with one in the state) and/or baseball program would that be feasible within 4 years?   Secondary related question; are there any provisions in the AAC conference agreement that rewards UNT for standing up the programs we don't sponser currently?

Wren,

Why do we still have issues finding caps, shirts and apparel outside Denton County? Other schools have no such problem. It seems like we don't want to have our brand out there.

Also, can we get back to green and white as our primary colors? Don't mind all black on occasion. But we are Mean Green. Do away with gray!

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
