2 thoughts,

1. I'm really interested in seeing this uniform:

UNT's new white helmet that features a Kelly green "North Texas" emblem on the side debuted Monday on the cover of the media guide and on the coaches table at media days. The shoulder of a white jersey with a green number trimmed in black is also on the guide's cover, with no players or coaches featured.

Im guessing this will be what the guys are wearing when they take the field in Norman. Could be really sharp.

2. Does anyone else think FIU might surprise a few people? They are picked to finish last due to their 0-12 season and a new coach, but they lost by less than a TD in 5 of their 12 games, including AT Maryland and AT South Florida and lost another by 10. Couple plays go another way, they are close to a .500 team with wins over a couple BCS schools...

That team is as erratic as their coach.

You got that, Craig?

Oops, I apologize for the flashback. My therapist said I'd have them now and then.

He didn't "get it" when you were talking to him "face to face", why should he now. People with big egos (and very little insight) tend to never admit that they were wrong.....about anything.

Not that suprised.

Coming off a 3-9 season, new coach...I would expect a lot of predictions to have NT at or near the bottom.

I think a lot of people will be eating crow if NT can score some points (14+) against OU, beat SMU, and score some points (20+?) against Arkansas. First 4 games are going to be very interesting.

You know I see the Arkansas game as a tougher match than OU. Granted OU is the first game of the season but the flip side of the coin that says "we will be better due to more reps" works in Arkansas's favor too. With OU they'll be breaking in a new QB, will have zero game film on us and will most likely play a very vanilla gameplan. (I am excited about McFadden meeting Maurice Holman face to face. F him up Mo!)

From what's been revealed, the uniform's color scheme is that of Southlake Carroll...

Fine. Whatever. Never mind the fact we've been green for decades, long before SLC high was even around.

That's what I was going to say... We were green and white before Southlake as a city even extisted!!

      What is this program missing?

      I think even if one of the seasons with Mason Fine had been an 11-1 or 12-0 season, it wouldn't have made a long term difference. We would not have enough alumni support to continue building off that.

      What is this program missing?

      IMO, the main issue is fan support. We have a very loyal core group with lots of fun things such as the canon, the Model T car, the "North Texas" chant ... but that core group is too small. Previous administrations spent decades tamping down any enthusiasm for sports at UNT, leaving it an after thought for many alumni. It would be much easier to recruit and high great coaches if we had 25k at each game and a community that really backed the teams. Suppose we had beat Navy, went on the beat Army, and finished the year with 10 wins. I don't think that would move the needle much for next year. It would be very difficult to have enough winning seasons to slowly build a winning tradition. Long story, short ... winning at football just isn't important to enough students and alumni. I will agree with others that having our own Boone Pickens would be a great benefit if they could give a lot and have patience. I just don't see that person walking through the door anytime soon.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Bumping because his name keeps getting thrown into the hat. Can someone please explain the appeal of Carthel for DC and exclude any “coach in waiting” argument?

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Not nearly as accurately as he was before the Tulane hit.

      What is this program missing?

      Simple. UNT has never won the conference and doesn't have a signature win that captured the nation attention. No 2-10 Arkansas doesn't count. UNT also needs a Heisman Candidate to be the face of the team. It was ALMOST there with Mason Fine but it was squandered, opportunity after opportunity keep being missed. Until UNT has a marketable face of the team, actually take down P4 opponents and win the conference, the same story will keep repeating itself. UCF had Blake Bortles take them to the Fiesta Bowl and a big run followed by Milton McKenzie beating Auburn. Boise had Kellen Moore, Jared Zanbranski and others followed with wins over Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. Cincinatti had a 14-0 run to the Sugar Bowl followed by back to back undefeated runs with Desmond Ridder. Houston had a great 2011 run with Case Keenum where we beat UCLA and Penn State in a January Bowl Game. In 2009 we beat #5 Oklahoma State and Texas Tech back to back. In 2015 with Greg Ward Jr, we went 13-1, beat Louisville, Vanderbilt, ranked Navy, ranked Memphis, ranked Temple in the AAC Championship and Florida State in the Peach Bowl 2016, we had Ward back and Ed Oliver and beat Top 5 Oklahoma and Top 5 Louisville on National TV.
