Ok, I already posted this on the pinned thread, but I am now questioning the accuracy. The meangreensports.com website now shows this as our 2007-08 schedule:

Date Opponent Location

Sat, Sep 01 Oklahoma at Norman, Okla.

Sat, Sep 08 SMU at Dallas

Sat, Sep 22 Florida Atlantic * Denton

Sat, Sep 29 Arkansas at Fayetteville, Ark.

Sat, Oct 06 Louisiana-Lafayette * Denton

Sat, Oct 13 Louisiana-Monroe * Denton

Sat, Oct 20 Troy * at Troy, Ala.

Sat, Oct 27 Middle Tennessee * Denton

Sat, Nov 10 Navy Denton

Thu, Nov 15 Arkansas State * at Jonesboro, Ark.

Sat, Nov 24 Western Kentucky Denton

Sat, Dec 01 Florida International * at Miami, Fla.

* Conference Games

Now, if I'm reading that correctly, we have SIX home games and the game against Louisiana Lafayette is in Denton and not Lafayette, as was originally reported. I don't know if the schedule was posted incorrectly the first time or if it is posted incorrectly now, but something's not adding up right. That Lafayette game definitely said it was being played in Lafayette the first time the schedule was posted and the corresponding article even from 3/1/07 (which is still posted) confirms that

The Sun Belt Conference schedule gets into full swing on Oct. 6 with North Texas’ game at Louisiana-Lafayette.

I can't find any article announcing that a correction or change was made to the schedule.

So what's right???

The press release specifically said: "The Sun Belt Conference schedule gets into full swing on Oct. 6 with North Texas’ game at Louisiana-Lafayette."

Which is why I posted that exact same comment in my initial post and why I'm so confused about where that particular game will be played. Maybe the person who wrote the press release was just reading the same schedule the rest of us read and making comments based on that schedule?

Or....maybe someone in the athletic department is just trying to prove to me why they don't post future schedules (since I've been a vocal critic of that tactic)???!!! :huh:

The "official" releases by both the SBC and UNT are suspect. UNT and ASU both released "official" schedules on the same day with different dates for the game (Nov. 15 and Nov. 17), go figure. I hope we have 6 home games, we need them.

ULL is an AWAY game and the official site looks like it has now been changed to show that.

Ok, I feel like I'm going crazy here :blink: ...everyone else on this thread saw that ULL was posted as a home game when I started this thread, right??? Me thinks someone is playing games with us!!!

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
