I don't mind it, and it's not like a team that lost to FAU and Baylor last year has room to talk about Tulsa.

If they predicted us to win, Tulsa fans (both of them) would spout:

"If they can't beat FAU of all people, they sure as hell can't beat us."

We need to "build it" just so we can remove ourselves forever from this kind of unadulterated "no-respect" bullshit, folks.

Florida State is still the model I feel NT should emulate because they eventually came to a point in their program as to where such goofy-arsed things like the media is dishing out to us with this Tulsa insult stopped forever starting back in the mid 1970's. . And FSU did this when Bobby Bowden raised the Seminoles out of their Indian grave-yard and above those who used to never schedule them.

We have to extend our football program way beyond the Tulsa's, the SMU's, the UH's, the Rices, the UTEP's and the Tulanes. We need to build this thing to where those schools will only be able to reminisce back to the days when they could compete with the University of North Texas.

Money and attendance is holding us back for now. Who is it that will tackle those 2 problems now and solve them once and for all?

We can't exactly emulate teams like Kansas State or Florida State because we don't have conference money pumped into our coffers eevry year. We can emulate teams like Boise State, Marshall, and even Louisville/Southern Miss.... slow and steady; but aggresive. There is always going to be some team like Baylor or Vandy that gets $18 million bucks in conference money a year just for football alone - which is more then our entire budget for all of our programs. Trying to keep up with those guys will just make us chase our tails and get frustrated. I like our approach. If you read the comments on the CUSA BBS, it will show you how much nationjal respect we have gained over the last four years by winning the games that we need to win and going to bowl games (along with following through with some facility improvements)...

Until we start winning more OOC games, the media types will pick us to lose those games, on the other side of the coin, Until someone else wins the Sunbelt the media will continue to pick UNT to win the conference title.

So no.....Im not surprised

Not talking about the Florida State U of today, but am talking about doing the things that allowed the Seminoles to get where they are today which included having major college football facilities, alums who give to their alma mater (instead of just giving free opinions) and buying season tickets non-stop. Until our NT community does all 3 we will be talking about "what could be" 25 years from today. Well, I take that back, some of you will be talking about "what could be" 25 years from today because most from my era and beyond will be close to 80 years in age to deceased.

Yet, stebo, I was talking about using the early- to-mid 1970's Florida State model back in the day when they were a major college independent and couldn't get the attention of schools from either of 2 conferences they were constantly rejected, ie, the SEC and the ACC. I think all eras of NT surely understand by now the rejection factor we have had to deal with with our own athletic program.

In closing on this subject (from my standpoint) I am only saying that NORTH TEXAS do exactly like the former major independent FSU did (in the 1970's) and raise our program above all who feel they can impeed our present momentum and ultimate long range success by black-balling us at every turn in conference re-alignment OR by not having the gonads to put us on their schedules on a regular basis; and doing this (apparently) because they are still living in their own long gone past days of glory that had more schools like UT and TAMU on their schedule menus. I think those days are gone forever for all of that group of ex Southwest Conference schools I am talking about here.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      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.
