ed #80 sort of bothers me.

Ratings, by conference:

Kinda shows just how far we have dropped as we are now back to below where we were in 1994 when we made the jump back to D-1 ---more scholarships, better facilities, and higher coaches' salaries have produced a team that would finish fourth or fifth in the Southland. mad.gif

I like that JAMES MADISON is ahead of us...thats real nice.

Frankly, there are several schools ranked ahead of us that I didn't even know they had football programs, like:

North Dakota State

South Dakota State

Hampton

Coastal Carolina

And...surely we could beat William & Mary, Brown and Princeton???

I don't think there are any such sure things based on what I have seen. I went to a game at W&M many years ago. It was a great atmosphere.

This shows you, there's a lot of competition. To push into the big league, it requires a firm commitment at the top. We should have that.

I don't care how many degrees that guy got from MIT, Sagarin's ratings system is a joke.

I hate it when people bag on the Sags rankings, I look at that list and am pretty confident that we could lose to any of those teams ranked ahead of us. I also think we would have a shot at beating most below us. The rankings aren't perfect - but they are the closest thing to perfect in the ranking business... I love how they include IAA... for instance, IAA Western Kentucky is #1 in the nation right now - but not the top ranked IAA team in the Sags - it goes by so many factors that simply the best record isn't the main focus. We deserve our crappy ass rating... we will be back into the 70's again by by next year - but for now we deserve our rank.

      Texas A&M Hires Who?

      Ags base gets a not-so-subtle reminder that they are a football school.

      The End of an Era

      Been following the Mountain West for decades and you could act like San Diego State or UNLV. As a former UNLV season ticket holder I loathe SDSU but admire them today. They built an identity, established it on the national stage, nourished it and they keep coming back. UNLV meanwhile has floundered. A once proud program stuck in disillusion. The Rebels could be special again with a steady program and leadership but they have gone all over the board looking to reset. Been trying to reset for decades. I was hoping Krueger would work out but again they look lost. We have an identity and will benefit from nourishing it. I like the direction Jared went with Robinson. Keep being a thorn in our conference mates arse and best Memphis soon. It’s Green it’s good. GMG

      Hodge wanted to set us up for success

      I have learned over the career journey that we hold a lot more keys and power than people want us to believe. Ross could have said, “Wren I’ll make my decision after UNT’s season is over. I am staying focused, staying the course, my team and University deserve this. Was wren really gonna go get anyone else? Hell I wouldn’t have even interviewed until my current goal was accomplished or unattainable. Then I have a full clear mind to weigh everything even negotiate a stronger deal. I only personally realized this after I’ve been pressured in the business world to act fast or risk losing. When you are solid with a lot to offer they wait. We hold a lot more power than we know. A championship by this team would have elevated each players and coaches profiles immensely. Wren played Ross and crew like the more seasoned business man he is. Now GTFONT. I’m excited about Robinson. I would love to see a coach embrace Denton Texas USA too. Robinson seems thoughtful, strategic, steady and strong. Will this translate into wins, who knows. But a coach that arrives with skins on the wall, affirms his excitement for my University and his opportunity, has my attention and support. Show some love to the Community and get the alumni and locals excited, we’ll build you a statue. Opportunity rocks. GMG

      Could UNT go undefeated this year in FB?

      There’s only one major high profile program left to make a national mark and I think we will have a special season. Undefeated, a possibility, probability low. Big win season, fun and championship promise deep into the season I could see happening. Potential goals: Playoffs. AAC Championship. Strong Bowl marquee matchup. New Mexico Bowl or similar. I’m going with AAC Championship goal with a good season being a marquee bowl matchup. We must progress, so minimum is a lower profile bowl win. GMG
