From what I have been able to piece together - we have an open slot for next year. Here is what I think our schedule will be from what I remember:

OOC:

Texas (away)

Tulsa (away)

La Tech (home)

SMU (home)

Sun Belt:

MTSU (home)

FIU (home)

FAU (home)

UL (away)

ULM (away)

Troy (away)

ASU (away)

So that is 11 games - 5 home, 6 away... home games are fairly attractive match-ups for another attendance increase. La Tech and SMU will draw well without putting any real promotion into them. I imagine that we will make FIU or FAU our homecoming game and then MTSU is always a great rivalry game - parent's weekend type of game.

Only one body bag game - and I would like to keep it that way. We made plenty of money off of the LSU switch-a-roo this year, there is nothing that "should" force us to sell our soul to another body bag type of game.

So with all of that being said - we have an open slot. Who would you like to see? Personally - I would like to see a 6th home game. I would schedule a cupcake IAA... somebody that we have no chance to lose against. I would also like to see one of our old Southland compadres head back to Denton... Somebody like Sam Houston or SFA (not Texas State right now, they would probably give us too close of a game).. Heck, I wouldn't even mid a team like Samford coming back to town.

Your thoughts? Who would you like to see us add for the 12th game?

Rice.

Has Rice added a team for their 12th game yet? If not - that would be an AWESOME home and home series. I would even be willing to give up the home date in 2006 for a return date from the Owls in 2007.

I would like to see home and homes with SMU, Rice, and perhaps UH as much as possible, with maybe Texas State/Tulane/Tulsa as well.

How about another CUSA team? What better way to show we belong than being able to beat their teams on a regular basis- and this starts on that.

Let's see, we've already given them a good audition with our Tulsa and So. Miss games...... dry.gif

Anything but a body-bag game [ie not Tech, OU, LSU, etc]... I would like a team based in Texas or if not, CUSA. NMSU would be ok.

We have played Texas State 39 times and New Mexico State 33 times. We have a long history with those two teams. They are the two universities we have played the most often. I expect Texas State to eventually be a I-A team.

I wouldn't want to play Texas State next year since there is a good possibility that they could beat us next year, that would be pretty damaging for the program. If they can't get a Division IA opponent to come to Fouts for that 12th game, I would rather play a money game than a game against a division IAA team. At least that way they get a paycheck and not risk the possibility, as big or small as it may be, to lose to a Division I-AA opponent.

I agree with you Matty, that is why I said we should play a patsy IAA team... heck, we might REALLY need that extra help in order to have a home win next year, you never know... I would say that a school like Sam Houston or SFA would be beatable.

No way. This year, yeah, a good possibility. But we'll have so many returning starters next year and they lose a lot - 9 starters on offense, 5 starters and 9 lettermen on defense.

After thinking about this, I dont see any way we lose to Texas State. Their team graduated with Barrick Nealy. I still dont see any point in playing them, but HE was the reason that game against A&M was even a game.

No 1AA games.

Add Army to that list of teams we could do a one and one.

If we are worried about losing to a AA team I have to go with Rudy on this one.

      UNT Men’s Basketball: Mean Green Travel To Minnesota

      Cousin Oliver copying and pasting a basketball preview onto the football forum may be our key to success. First win over a ranked or power conference opponent in 12 tries this year.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.
