Happy for Texas State...getting that Prime Time coverage. Hope they win. 

I hope they lose. Go look at their remaining schedule. Could very easily win out and take the G5 spot from MWC or American.

To each his own. And yes....I'd prefer that the AAC get the playoff spot. But so far....I don't think the AAC is "sponge worthy".

Just curious....why would you rather see the MWC get in....over others?

Bc MWC (well until 2026) is considered on par or better than the American. Sun Belt is a clear 3rd. And if an American school doesn’t make the playoff, I’d rather be a conference that is already considered at our level. 
 

In short, I don’t want the Sun Belt to get any shine.

so much jealousy by the fan base that the Sun Belt did not fall apart when UNT left, starting to sound like the SMU snobs. The Sun Belt has done phenomenal in the past few years to the point overall in FB they have passed AAC and are on par with MWC. They sent nearly everybody to a bowl last year.

Agreed. It seems like we have lots of fans who want others to fail....more than they want UNT to succeed. 

Since we left the SBC....they've had lots of ranked teams. Lots of huge wins....Marshall beat Notre Dame, Appy State beat Texas A & M, ULL beat Kansas State....all games on the road for the SBC team. 

So far this year....the AAC has done nothing special. Tulane hosts Kansas State and can't get the win. I think we have five 2-0 teams.....and only one has an upset win (us beating USA).

So I don't knock teams in other leagues....for doing what we fail to do. Hopefully that will change soon....and we (and our league) will start knocking off some name opponents. (I know Tulane beat USC in the bowl....the Year before we got in the league).

We do compete for some of the same recruits, I bet. I'm happy they curb-stomped our rivals, but I don't really wish them well.

In true North Texas fashion, the SBC jumped up very high not too long after we left. Appy State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, and others have a lot to do with that, of course. And CUSA dropped off severely about 4-5 years after we joined. And the AAC change isn't looking all that great yet, either, if we're being honest.

Also Jim.....our first year out of CUSA....the G5 rep in the top bowl game: Liberty from CUSA.

I've got no qualms with Texas St. it was one of the few schools i considered outside of UNT. They seem like a fun team to watch and i bet on them tonight... eat'em up Cats!

Has nothing to do with jealousy but it does have everything to do with pecking order. I don’t want a potential scenario where (for the sake of argument) we have a similar resume as Texas State but they get the nod for the playoff because their win over Arizona State is better than our win (again, hypotheticals) over Tech Tech.

If you haven't, I'd highly recommend the glass bottom boats they offer and run by students. It is very rad and informative.

No jealousy at all and it has nothing to do with conference affiliation.  It doesn’t make sense to hope for success for a team with whom we’re competing for recruits and possibly fans.

Is this a return game to Texas State?  Did they play at ASU first?

No. They play at Tempe next year.

I misread this at first and was trying to figure out what them playing at Temple next year had to do with anything.😊🤣🤣

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      When The Portal Opens

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
