I seriously would be surprised if ESPN or Fox Southwest wouldn't be interested in televising that game.

That would be nice but Navy already has 9 games due to be televised this season.

My Father in law is a Naval Academy alum. He is going to be beside himself with excitement. This will be the first true sellout at Fouts Field. Mark it down. Plenty of Navy folks around here will come to this game. Combine that with the fact that it will be Todd Dodge's first year = holy crap!!!!! Good thing I already have season tickets!!!!

Okay, can someone update the schedule again ... with the dates (because I know there is a off week in there somewhere).

Is the thinking that there won't be many tickets available to us for the OU game?

Invite the Secretary of the Navy to the game and instead of putting him one of the luxury boxes at Fouts, stick his ass in one of the end zones behind the goalposts. Maybe he'll go back to Washington and ask for federal money to build NT a new stadium under some "blighted neighborhood" funding grant. :unsure: Hey, don't laugh. You've gotta think outside the box when it comes to Fouts.

GloryTheGreen would you check with your source to see if there is a return game and if so, when it is? We went to the North Texas VS Army game at West Point during the Matt Simon era and had a great experience. We stayed and got a tour of the facility on Sunday from a couple of the faculty wives. They used the tours as a fund raiser for their charity. If we play at Navy everyone should try as hard as possible to make that trip. If it is as neat as the one at West Point, it will be worth the effort.

That November 10th date might also explain why our first home game is with Florida International. I'll bet we had to move the Florida International game in order to open a spot for Navy. Pure speculation......but it makes sense.

As far as I can tell.....our best year in Attendance ever was 1997...with an average of 19,704. That is the year we hosted A & M at Texas Stadium and drew over 45,000.

Our best year attendance-wise at Fouts (with all HOME games at Fouts) was 1994: 19,517.

I think we can (and will) set a new attendance record (average) this year.

The stadium at Navy is not quite as spectacular as West Point (kind of reminded me of Kyle Field w/o all the extra add ons), but Annapolis is really kickass, the event itself is worth the trip, with tailgating by graduation class, the cadets, the fly by, etc... and it is just an hour or so from Baltimore which has quite a scene going on these days around the Harbor.

And.....

Of course my father in law already heard about this today and emailed me at work:

I never thought we be on opposite sides of any issue! And it’s going to be televised!

GO NAVY, BEAT MEAN GREEN!

and this one:

Navy will have an F-18 flyover for pre-game entertainment. What will North Texas do? :)

Actually, could you imagine a flyover at fouts? I think we would all get chills!

If they win, they could bomb the thing afterwards.

And if we won, they could bomb the f'n thing afterwards.

Win. Win. (win)

Or better yet, the year that NT had to average 15,000 to complete the move to D1A. The games were advertised all over campus and the students and alumni showed up to help us make the move to 1A.

BTW: Nice Avatar :thumbsup:

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?

That would be great. I used to work for him. He is as good or better in person than his reputation which is sterling. Me may do it. Would give him a reason to come watch his alma mater play.

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.

This Navy versus UNT game (even) at Fouts Field is a tremendous win-win for both schools.

Not to get too carried away with all this, but wouldn't it be a great jesture from our alma mater if the UNT College of Music invited Navy's infamous choir in for a concert at the Murchison Performing Arts Center the night before Game Day? Man, if that happened and when they would start singing that "...peril at sea" hymn (like in the movie Crimson Tide); nevertheless, would there be a dry eye in the house?

And a superb idea, SUMG, on honoring Roger Staubach at this game (although he would probably need an invite in the next few months so he could get us on his (most likely) very busy schedule although his scheduling the Navy game would probably be very do-able for him.

And yes, untgirl04, having the JNRB crowd over here at Fort Worth come up to Denton would also be great; but (again) UNT officials should let their base officials know about this game VERY early in the year.

I'd say SINK THE NAVY but I'd feel very unpatriotic if I did. :(

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
