This schedule is great. I have not been this excited about a UNT football schedule in all of my time at the university.

Does anyone know why the AAC has not set up the last week of the season to maximize the number of rivalry games? There are several obvious rivalry games (UNT-SMU, UNT-UTSA, UAB-Memphis, etc) and some potential budding rivalries (USF-FAU) that seem like they would be perfect for that last week as rivalry week.

Because every student will be gone for Thanksgiving. Why would the conference want to play all their big rivalry games on a week where attendance is likely to struggle? Sure, it works for big P5s, but a conference like the AAC needs to be honest with themselves about their fanbases.

We had to find teams with available dates. Also, let's not be too high and mighty about playing CUSA teams.  We were just the "CUSA" team playing the American teams, and I must have missed where you o

I find it interesting that everyone is so enamored with La. Tech.  They used to bad mouth us all the time back when we were in the Belch and they were in the WAC as I recall.  Don't remember them thro

Can someone please explain to me why we are scheduling teams like FIU and La. Tech from our old conference?  I see no reason to do that as these games provide these schools and CUSA with a lot more th

The other aspect is that "rivalry week" (when did that become a thing?) tends to draw eyeballs to the marquee conferences.  Why put the best games in the AAC against that juggernaut?

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      WKU and MTSU would make sense. Way more sense than Northern Illinois traveling to Hawaii to play a football game that would be watched by hundreds of people.

      Mean Green Travel to Tulane for Midweek Matchup

      DENTON, Texas – UNT women’s basketball (11-4, 3-0 AAC) will aim to extend its winning streak to five games against Tulane on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. CT inside Avron B. Fogelman Arena. It is the first trip to Tulane for a North Texas team since 2014, and the Mean Green will be looking for their first road win against the Green Wave. Last season’s 77-70 overtime win at home marked the program’s first ever win in the series in six meetings. Tommisha Lampkin’s 18-point, 15-rebound performance helped UNT overcome a double-digit deficit late in the second half to tie the game at 67 and eventually outscore Tulane 10-3 in the overtime period. The Mean Green enter Wednesday’s contest on a four-game win streak that began on Dec. 21 in the nonconference finale against Chicago State and has spanned over the first three conference games. Memphis pushed North Texas to the brink of overtime its last time out on Jan. 4, but Ereauna Hardaway’s layup with two seconds left lifted the Mean Green to a 73-71 victory. Hardaway’s 18 points, seven rebounds and seven assists against the Tigers paired with a 13-points, six rebound performance against Tulsa on Jan. 1 earned her a spot on the conference’s weekly honorable mention list. Tommisha Lampkin and Aniyah Johnson also played key roles in the win over Memphis. Lampkin posted her eighth double double of the season with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Johnson finished with 14 points and 10 boards. It marked the first time UNT teammates have posted a double double in the same game since Lampkin and DesiRay Kernal did so on Feb. 27, 2024 in the 4OT win over East Carolina. Tulane has gotten off to a solid start in Ashley Langford’s first season as head coach. The Green Wave are 9-5 overall and 2-1 in American Athletic Conference play with road wins over FAU and Charlotte. They are led by Amira Mabry and Sherese Pittman who both average north of 12 points and six rebounds per game. Wednesday’s game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call. WHAT 2 WATCH 4 • UNT will look to move to 4-0 in AAC play when it travels to Tulane on Wednesday. • Ereauna Hardaway was named to the AAC Honor Roll following her performances against Tulsa and Memphis. • North Texas ended nonconference play with an 8-4 record following a split at the Evan Moore Classic. • The Mean Green are closing in on the pro­gram's 600th career win, currently sitting at 596 entering Saturday. STUFFING THE STAT SHEET • In UNT's win over Wichita State, Desiree Wooten did something that no other Mean Green player since at least 2001 has done. • The sophomore guard stuffed the statsheet finishing with 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals. • There have only been two other players in the nation this season to post a stat line on par with Wooten's performance against the Shockers. In addition, Wooten joins a group of four other players with those numbers in a game in the history of the American Conference (Breanna Stewart, Danae McNeal, Napheesa Collier and Alicia Froling). A WIN WOULD... • Improve UNT to 12-4 on the year • Mark UNT's third straight win on the road in conference play • Be the 597th win in program history • Improve UNT to 4-0 in conference play for the first time since the 2020-21 season

      Rule Changes to NCAA Football

      I watch more NFL than is healthy and it's really not a common review. In today's college game, you're still reviewing if a player was down. The situation where a player went down without giving himself up and wasn't touched are pretty slim. The question is usually just was the player touched and/or was the player actually down (already happens in college). In the NFL, a player doesn't have to be touched *while* on the ground if the contact resulted in the player going down so that's rarely a question. The most common reviews relating to that is when a player is rolled over another player's body and then keeps running without going down which is already reviewed in college or when a player recovers a turnover, goes down in the process, but it's questionable if he was touched which is rare. I'd welcome the change. It would help the defense really turn the tide with a big play.
