I offered the challenge and he accepted. I'm bringing the loudest human being I know other than myself to the UTA game. Non other than my 6 year old. We don't call him the F5 for nothing. The reins are being released, the leash dropped, the cage left open, and he knows it and will be allowed to unfold a terror of quintessential noise only parents can appreciate....and dread. We'll be there. Who's coming with us?

I'm going to try like hell to make it , a lot of work to get done before the short week is over. I've never been to the Stage , but would love too to go. Should be a great matchup between 2 undeafted teams. This one will be very close again , hopefully different result.

Looking at UTA's schedule , how do they get TCU on the schedule and we don't ??

Doesn't make sense. You get SMU and we don't, while we get TCU and you don't. Of course, only a few programs have the guts to come to the stage. UNT, Wichita State, New Mexico State and San Diego are the biggest recent non-conference visitors. Usually, for us to play even a Sunbelt team, we have to ride the bus, like today at UALR. Hopefully that will change when we get our arena. It should happen within the next couple of years, as the companion project parking garage was just approved. Then maybe the likes of OSU, Ttech, TCU and Baylor will make regular visits to our campus.

Until that happens, the stage at Texas Hall will be to us what "The Pit" used to be for NTSU- a hopefully hostile environment for visiting teams. :D

We didnt get SMU. From what I've heard our coach , JJ , contacted them about a game this year and they declined. I guess they needed the room for Paul Quinn.

It's a dirty shame there is not some opening season or holiday season tourny each year with the 4 DFW comepeting ( SMu,TCU,UNT,UTA)

Well maybe SMU should have to play Paul Quin for the play in game.

      A retro Flying Worm basketball uniform would be cool! Yes, I remember it as a Drake head coach said after we beat his good team that coming to Denton and playing North Texas was like playing in a "snake pit" I think some students after that started throwing rubber snakes on the floor during games to intimidate opponents, lol. Here is the reference... "Before being named for Bahnsen in 2005, the gym was simply called the Men’s Gym. However, the “Snake Pit” caught on as a popular nickname. There are many rumors of its origin, but much of the credit of coining the name goes to former Drake University head coach Maury John, according to meangreensports.com. “This is the worst d--- place in the world to play basketball,” John said after a game against UNT. “This place is a snake pit.” The name caught on quick. Students would bring fake snakes – some stories even claim they brought real ones – to games following John’s statement. The moniker lasted to the stadium’s retirement from NCAA basketball." https://www.ntdaily.com/sports/bahnsen-gym-holds-key-spot-in-unt-basketballs-history/article_84617a0b-5971-5638-a84c-782e592af4ff.html

      It's not being "too cheap". It's not wanting to give $$ to a random guy in a dark trench coat saying it will be given to some random player. It's similar to believing a poster named "Deep Throte". ....but I do think you know what's really going on, so I do believe you, lol.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      If that was the case, it would be the Big 10 and SEC are trying to take management of the postseason. Also the Big 12 media contract is worth almost $3 billion. Can that change in the future? Sure but as of now, there are 4 Power Conferences. If there wasn't a difference between the Big 12, ACC and AAC, Memphis, USF, Tulane and Rice wouldn't be so desperate to leave.

      They want to exclude us and others. Great. We and others need a framework for competing independently of them. I look forward to it. Who’s working on it?

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Agree, I see them topping out at maybe $10M per team, and wouldn't be surprised to see $7m-8m. I don't think the extra travel is worth it at that point for Memphis and Tulane.
