Well, I think ours is slightly more challenging... we're playing two teams who were arguably in competition for a national title last year.

Oh I definitely agree with you on the "heavies" on our schedule. I just think Memphis and Virginia compared to SMU and Navy gives them an edge in the "lighter" portions of our OOC schedules, thus evening it up.

As were Louisville and LSU.

"Dodgeball" was a Ben Stiller movie.

This made me start to think of SBC teams that could have movie nicknames:

FIU - Fight Club

ULM & ULL - Dumb and Dumber

MUTS - Brokeback Mountain

ASU - Pocohantas

FAU -Howard the Duck

Troy - Revenge of the Nerds

Fixed that for you. :D

Univ. of North Texas - "The Titanic" (we all know how that one ended, don't we) :rolleyes:

Smith: Clear.

Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Yes. I don't think I've ever seen such a flat calm.

Smith: Like a mill pond, not a breath of wind.

Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: It will make the bergs harder to see... with no breaking water at the base.

Smith: Hmm. Well, I'm off. Mantain speed and heading, Mr. Lightoller.

How is it that Troy is Revenge of the Nerds? It doesn't take rocket science academics to get a degree from Troy. Plus, Larry Blakeney's team is top-heavy with junior college transfers and partial qualifiers--more recruited than any school in 1-A. When I think of nerds, I think of intelligent geeks. Troy is hardly a school for high quality intellects.

fyi: Sam Houston was also from Tennessee. Folks from Tennessee played a big part in Texas winning independence from Mexico but Sam Houston played a much bigger role than Crockett.

Yeah but they can't really claim that Houston was born in Virginia before moving to Tennessee. And as all Texans know you've gotta be born here for it to count.

You are getting a lot of whistling in the dark by NT rivals. They don't know what to make of all these early commits so they are hoping that the players won't stick or that TD is busy offering fringe players.

I want them to stick. We need all teams in the SBC to improve. We also need to make sure we have players who want to be in the SBC, not players who feel like they are settling. I hope the players are good players and I hope they stay true to their word. Dodge could be setting a trend that could benefit all SBC schools.

Maybe something to do with trojans? I can't remember that Adam's mascot. Anybody?

      I wish there was a way to give ADLER a giant up arrow. Regrettably, I could only give him a standard any old day of the week up arrow. Boy, I wish there was a way…

      What is this program missing?

      This part of your argument is just not true. North Texas has claimed 25 conference championships in football all time, tied for 13th most in the FBS. I would say a “signature win” would be the win over undefeated #22 UTSA in 2021. Looking a little further back, are you forgetting about the season we beat Rice and Texas Tech on the road, and also nearly beat Texas at DKR?

      You sound like the idiots on the Minnesota board. One can't always just look at conference affiliation and automatically assume "yeah that team is good/bad" dependent on that alone.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I can’t go back 20 years, but with the last DC we paid a lot for someone who didn’t know how to adapt to his personnel or recruit Texas or have any relations with high school coaches in Texas Then let him hire position coaches that were only GA’s (no recruiting trail opportunities). So we tried not spelling Texas. And you see where we lack depth on defense and it’s all attributed to those relationships. In G5 conferences we have to get THAT guy. It’s important on signing day and the transfer portal. But I can see the frustration. But if I’m wrong it sure not the first time

      If losing to MS is now acceptable we have low expectations.
