Not sure on the date. Sounds pretty solid. It also sounds like the MAC agreement fell through and we will not have a MAC opponent in 2007. Navy appears to be the replacement. So it appears, we open at Oklahoma then go to SMU. Our first home game would be a conference game against Florida International. It appears we are splitting up the Florida school games making it a home and away instead of home/home in one year and away/away in the next. In previous years we had to go to Florida twice in one year then did not go there the following year.

Navy at Fouts is a big game and let's hope the promotion for it is strong! Kudos to RV and company for getting this game on the schedule. GMG!

If this is true and I hope that it is..................

We have the greatest NAVY player of all time in the Metroplex.

UNT Athletics should HONOR ROGER STAUBACH at the game.

Whadda ya think?

I'm definately interested in Navy at Fouts. Especially since the names from the MAC were not particularly interesting (NIU would have been O.K.). I've seen Army and Air Force play at TCU in recent years and both brought a good number of fans. I'd imagine that Navy would be no different.

There were two MAC schools on that Navy schedule. (Ball State--home; at Bowling Green). The MAC owes us a game, so maybe there was some kind of trade off.

Don't know....just speculating...

Actually, there are three John. Kent State is a home game for Navy the week after Bowling Green. So it makes even more sense that they might play us rather than another MAC team. I think that your idea about honoring Roger Staubach ia greatness.

Ive been searching future NCAA football schedules for 3 to 4 years now , Im always curious. This site has been the best by far , but it already list Navy's full schedule with dates. Maybe something fell through or something , but still Id like to see Navy here.

I remember when we played Army at Texas Stadium and them bringing a good number of soldiers in to cheer Army on. It made for a fun atmosphere. I would imagine that the Naval Academy would bus in a boatload(pun intended) from the Joint Reserve Naval Air Station in Fort Worth to come see the game. This could give a great boost to attendance. I think the Staubach idea is great and I think that we as Mean Green fans could also honor the sailors in attendance for their service to our country.

Yeah, that is great, great news. Thanks for the confirmation, gregory.

And, I noticed that the date (November 10) is when Navy was originally scheduled to play @ Bowling Green. So, that leads me to believe, that this move, might have been the payoff from the MAC....for the game they owed us.

Great news.

Navy will travel to the fertile recruiting ground of Texas on Nov. 10 when the Mids take on North Texas for the first time in school history. It is just the Mids second trip to the state of Texas in the last four years.

With the confirmation from the Navy schedule, move from a rumor to THE premiere home game for '07!05-uberbow.gif

I just had a flashback to our run defense last year and had shutters. I hope Mendoza is able to turn that around, becuase the Midshipman will test that by running 30-40 times.

Not that I think honoring Roger Staubach is a bad idea, but I think it would be better if we honored the soldiers instead. Maybe do a special discount for the game - a few bucks off to all current or retired servicemen. Maybe talk the guys out at Carswell (sorry, the JNRB) to do a fly-over. I seriously would be surprised if ESPN or Fox Southwest wouldn't be interested in televising that game.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Let's go totally gangsta, and make a statement with this hire. Let's send notice that North Texas will not tolerate losing to the likes of UTSA. I think we could get this guy as our next DC.............. Jess Loepp https://goutsa.com/sports/football/roster/season/2024/staff/jess-loepp He is currently in his 3rd season as the Runners Defensive Coordinator. And, UTSA doesn't have enough money to stop us from taking him.

      Just seeing this!! Fantastic....but...why the wait?? We could tell this was a disaster long before now. Now the season has already been ruined and any interim can't make much impact on changes they might want to make. Regardless.......Great news......just 11 months too LATE!

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Two years ago we went toe-to-toe with Boise State in a bowl game. Fast forward to today and Boise State has the inside track to being in the CFP and we’re trending to a #100 ranking. We have Jared Moseley and Eric Morris to thank for that. What a disaster for UNT.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I agree with the reason why most of our alumni don’t care. However I don’t agree with why our administration doesn’t care. I think they want to win on the cheap and not rock the boat with Old Denton. If they wanted to win they would publicly pursued and likely hired one of the high profile younger coaches that made a stop in one of our old conferences or FCS. Lane Kiffin, Larry Coker, Major Applewhite, Dat Nguyen (as a DC), Kevin Sumlin, Doug Williams, Howard Schnellenberger, Briles, Gary Patterson, June Jones, Deion Sanders or etc. Now if Zach Orr becomes a FBS head coach without going directly to a program that has not won multiple P5/P4 conferences title or New Years 6 bowls since 1980 without his agent getting a call from UNT it won’t be a surprise. The only coach hire I was ever slightly excited for was Dan McCarney. I have followed this team as a knowledgeable CFB fan for 25 years.

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Yeah....Army has a ways to go. They've actually got Notre Dame (neutral site--Yankee Stadium I think).....then host UTSA.....then the AAC championship game (which, as you say....will be against Tulane). But Boise has to lose.....for their to even be a chance.
