I like the schedule.....but I'm not a fan of day games. (the 2 p.m. tipoffs).

And, if they're going to have the Cameron game, after our Navy football game.....they ought to move the b-ball game back to 7:30. Because, with Dodge Ball our football games are going to last longer......and folks might have to rush straight from the football game to the b-ball game....because I can easily see the football game going to 6:30 or later.

Wait... you're worried about people leaving a home football game against Navy to see the basketball team play Cameron?

I never said, that folks would leave the football game early. I just said, they might want to consider giving more time between the events. And yes, I do hope as many folks as possible will go to BOTH GAMES.

Yeah, because we'll probably be having some sort of banner raising ceremony for last year's team.

Better than last year's schedule, but hardly stellar with home games against Cameron, Hartford, Centenary, and Texas A&M International. The one home against Oklahoma State is the only thing that saves this OC schedule from being as bad as last years. Not to say that most teams are not using the same scheduling philosophy which is to get as weak a home schedule as possible with 1 or 2 games against teams that are better or about equal. NT should be at 5-3 and maybe 6-2 oc with this schedule.

I do take exception to the write up which states that last year was the best season ever for NT basketball. No way. There were 11 loses that went with those 23 victories and only finishing 5th seed in the conference does not support a best season ever even at NT. One of the better seasons for sure, but does not compare with Blakeley's 22-4 season or Spika's 18-10 in the best conference in BB at the time.

not bad with the exception of Texas A&I, but that is a good fill game for Christmas Break.

TAMU--International is not the school that used to be called Texas A & I. Texas A & I is TAMU-Kingsville.

TAMU-I is located in Laredo.

I do agree with this wholeheartdely. The 22-4 season when we were ranked(but got hosed by the NCAA and NIT) was our best team of all time. And I wasn't even around yet. :lol:

What a tease!!!! I damn near jumped out of my seat when I saw Hartford on the schedule until I realized it was a home game!!! Does anyone have any information on that game as to whether or not its a home and home (or possibly a typo and its actually a road game :thumbsup: )? It'd be nice to be able to see a game.

Man...finally! Not bad, I just wish they would schedule some Mid-Atlantic games more often. I REALLY enjoyed going to that Charlotte game last year. It was quite an experience for me, and I really enjoyed watching the team play.

I just checked the Hartford site (hoping UNT got it wrong...they didn't) but they have a kid from Fort Worth...David Bookman, a 6'7" forward who went to Southwest H.S...could be a large Hartford contingent in attendance.

I'll be back for Cameron and Oklahoma State(with a little football with Navy thrown in). Looking forward to seeing a game in the SuperPit again...it's been a long time.

"Welcome....to the Pit" :D

Boy, they sure do have a tough schedule...especially the OOC schedule.

Nova, Louisville, BYU, Virginia and UNT on the road...thats pretty tough. I live really close to Quinnipiac so I will be there Nov. 11th to do some scouting.

- The Cameron game really should be moved back, especially if there's a banner-raising ceremony. Those that supported the team throughout the season and in New Orleans will still be at the Navy game.

- I hate that the UTA game is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Whatever student turnout there could have been between Talons, SGA, RHA, Pit Crew, etc. is killed. Most students start to head home Tuesday, and the dorms close Wednesday evening.

There will be a banner raising.

Navy's offense relies heavily on the run, so if they're successful the clock will be moving. Either way - I'll leave the game early if I have to. Not missing a banner raising. ;)

A lot of fans will be in the Metroplex during the Thanksgiving holidays. Hopefully some will head to UTA for the game Wednesday evening.

Yeah, hopefully so. I was in town last year for Thanksgiving and REALLY enjoyed the Tulsa game. I like the regional opponents, just wish we would play some in the Mid-Atlantic as well! :(

Seems ironic that "Navy" would rely on the "run." Seems like they would go through the "air." Or recognized shipping lanes. But back to the topic.

I wonder if a ticket from the Navy game would get a fan in the Pit for free (general admission, of course ?)

      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.

      Running game

      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.
