I just received the latest UNT Insider e-mail, that Dr. Bataille sends out.

In it, is a great report on her nationwide tour. She talks about all the alums that she met in various stops. Peter "Robocop" Weller came to the gathering in L.A.

Also, it mentions several other distinguished alums that came to various stops....and what they do. (The head of the Colorado Symphony is an alum).

And, there was also a piece about UNT football ....spring practice beginning....and how you can get season tickets. In that piece, Dr. B is pictured at her San Antonio reception with two of our SA signees (Giovanni Vizza and Sam Dibroll).

Let me just close....whoever came up with the idea for her national tour........should be commended. That was one great move.

Keep up the good work, Dr. B!

That's great. People say Mack Brown is a great recruiter, imagine how good he could be if HE could get the university president to follow up on recruiting. Dr. B is great and is going to take us to a much higher level. She is going to inspire the inactive alums.

The NT Daily raked her over the coals for this tour and it's expense. However I saw a rebutal by her that much of the trip expense was funded by donors. It re-connected "lost" alums that have started giving again to UNT. Well done Dr. B!

Yes, I posted a counter-rant to the article... you can't improve a school without making an investment.

I have to remind myself sometimes that I am much more experienced than my idealistic teenaged classmates.

They better be careful or they may end up on Double Secret Probation!

If those nitwits at the Daily had been a little nicer, Dr. B might have cancelled classes on Friday......

And just think how great Todd Dodge could be with a virtually endless recruiting budget.

Or maybe her next trip could be funded with the money formely designated to fund the Daily. That'd fix their wagon.

      And the biggest key is administrative support, which UNT clearly lacks. Our Board of Trustees has aligned the university to pursue athletics to support the academic mission of the school and we're all pulling the same direction.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      basically heading into December, I think this is a pretty good way to look at the league, KenPom through 12/1 games in (): Tier 1 - Memphis (31) - I know everyone will be quick to point out their collapse last season...I suppose it could happen again, but this team looks built different. they'll head into December ranked while presumably no one else will even receive a vote. Tier 2 - UNT(66) ; Wichita State (88) - both schools have quality wins over Big 10, WCC, A-10 and MVC schools...nothing really to blink at too much in their losses. Tier 3A - Rice (164) ; East Carolina (123) - call this the over-achieving tier. Rice has a good win now over ASU...hung tough with Florida State. ECU has yet to play an actual road game and their loss looks pretty mid, but 7-1 is 7-1 so far. Tier 3B - FAU (105) ; UAB (137) - call this the under-achieving tier. FAU look like Memphis last season...a solid collection of talent that isn't playing as a team...case in point, they went 52-26 to lose by 2 to FGCU. I don't know what to make of UAB. still, despite early struggles, both these will be tough Ws Tier 4 - Temple (114) ; South Florida (138) - both just look solid if unremarkable. both have some testers in December and it'd be a big benefit to the conference if they can pick up some good wins. Tier 5 - Tulane (226) ; Charlotte (204) ; Tulsa (215) ; UTSA (263) - there's very little to like here. nothing approaching a quality win and each with some pretty bad loses. I almost just made a separate tier for UTSA, but I'll be kind for now since the resumes here all look so similar. UTSA goes to Cali to play St. Mary's Tuesday and then to Fayetteville for ranked Arkansas on Saturday (who made their schedule?)...so once they get drubbed by 30 in each, maybe they'll earn their own tier

      SMU got the death penalty because they were incredibly stupid back then. When the NCAA announced new cheating rules in 1985 that included the death penalty as the most severe potential punishment, SMU responded by phasing out payments to players instead of ending them immediately. At least one of those players got kicked off the team and spilled the beans in a TV interview. Now SMU thinks it deserves revenge because it was told not to piss on an electrified fence and did it anyway. Mustang nation would be smarter to leave the past in the past and enjoy the run they're on.

      SMU's upturn started two years before NIL opened up. The biggest key is the free transfer rules amd the strategy to go after local players at top programs to come home for more playing time, to help out baby momma, etc. NIL definitely amped it up. But we aren't money whipping alone. We have a big time payroll but we aren't in the A&M/Ohio St/etc universe. The money just removes the golden handcuffs of under the table money that was keeping them at top programs (especially OL and DL). ACC membership is huge too. UNT could be running some of this playbook, BTW. More than enough DFW players looking to get on the field.

      Yeah, but the guy has been coaching at Incarnate Word and North Texas… That’s not exactly Georgia and Alabama. Almost all coaches would be below .500 against FBS competition at Incarnate Word and North Texas. Especially operating under the rule sets Eric Morris has been operating under with the resources at his disposal. Unless something crazy happens, he is going to get three seasons. You might as well enjoy the ride. A bowl victory this year followed by an 8 or 9 win season and Morris is suddenly looking pretty good. You guys are turning off the movie before finding out if the good guy wins.
