What a strange turn of events this is for TCU, Colorado State and the Mountain West Conference. Certainly, that game deseves to be on TV since TCU can wrap up the MWC championship tomorrow at Amon Carter Stadium.

Noticed in today's Fort Worth Star Telegram how the CSU coach was rather miffed about it, too (and understandably so). He wanted his non-traveling fans/alums (which would be the majority) to be able to see this game back in Fort Collins.

I hesitated to post about our game being on TV, but it has already been mentioned in another thread. Harry/Cerebus, if yall deem that these "NT being on TV" threads or posts should be removed--go for it as most of us who will be attending our game will understand.

I almost feel bad for TCU, they really could have been the 2nd MWC team in as many years to rock the BCS but just blew it against SMUt. Bet they will be kicking themselves for the rest of the year. And no matter how you feel about TCU, any team that can pull a Utah against the BCS is a great thing.

I think it's good to let people know it's going to be on TV. When we're on TV, I record the game even if I'm attending it. Plus, there are always some who simply can't attend. This week I can't - I'm on the Board of Directors of a group that is putting on a major fund raiser Saturday night from 6 to midnight. If I wasn't on the Board, I could get out of it!

With SMU winning over TCU this year we now know that the SMU talent upgrade is significant.

They will be tough for us when SMU visits the Mean Green at Fouts Field next year, but will they come to Denton with Phil Bennett as their head football coach might be the question of some the way their season has gone this year.

We need a good recruiting year with maybe more JUCO's than DD has signed in recent years and hopefully many of them enrolling in January. I think we have some nice talent at UNT now, but we just don't have enough of it that is experienced at this time IMO.

I know we all hope this Fall's Mean Green football team continues to develop significantly in the next few weeks no matter what the W/L record is; and for certain, going 4 and 0 the next 4 weeks would be a nice development for this NT football team and for darn sure for all of its fans. rolleyes.gif

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      NIL was a horrible idea that continues to destroy competition in sports I don't see how anyone blames this mess on the athletes. Sure they are going to do what is best for them, perfectly understandable. The NCAA should fight NIL, but apparently the leadership is a lot more interested in protecting the status quo and players than to listening to the fans.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      I don’t believe Vito hates UNT. Why should he sugar-coat the truth in his articles? Just win will help. I bet Vito hates participation trophies. Good job Brett!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little competition.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things.
