Still very odd we decided to make Memphis Homecoming instead of Temple. 

Bigger crowd for better opponent?   Just guessing.

You don’t schedule Homecoming against good teams. And Homecoming is going to have a good crowd regardless.

I love the idea of making Homecoming against an opponent people might actually care about and/or have actually heard about. This program has to start to capitalize on these opportunities if we want any sustained fan support. Homecoming is always a good crowd, and a win over Memphis will carry more weight than a win over Temple. We have to quit thinking so small and always wanting to schedule patsies we think we can beat for these types of games and schedule good programs and still expect to win.

A crowd against Memphis is more important to the outcome of the game than a crowd for Temple.

Homecoming is the game that has the most casuals fans. You don't want to schedule a game you a likely to lose. You want to send those casuals home with a winning experiencing. They won't really care who the game is against.

This is what literally EVERY program does. It has nothing to do with thinking small. It's just smart marketing.

Isn’t Oktoberfest celebrated in September?

Yeah, traditionally it's the last 2 weeks of September. For example, Addison is having their Oktoberfest Sept 14-17 this year. You'll see celebrations bleed into October, but October 14th is really late.

This is exactly my point. We have always walked into games like Memphis expecting to lose. We shouldn’t be expecting to lose to a team that was middle of the road in the AAC last year. Hell, we only lost by 10 to these jokers last year with a coach who got fired at the end of the year.

I could not disagree more with this. I think it’s lazy marketing and doesn’t put much faith in our own team. I want this team to win the Homecoming game over an opponent that casual fans might know about. We need to not focus on what “every program does” and get creative to find what works for UNT. I want those casual fans to come back. Winning a game that we “should win” just doesn’t move the needle as much for fans coming back, in my opinion.

Are we wearing lederhosen and drinking out of steins for the Temple game?

I'm prepared.

I’m telling you Mason Fine bobble head night would be a serious draw.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
