Are we ever going to have the same number of Home games as Away games? It stinks having the majority of your games played on the road.

If I recall correctly, I heard that will change for the 2009 season. If anyone could back that up, though, that would be great.

good regional games, but it sucks that basically out of 3 month long season the guys are on the road for 2 of the months. No wonder students and fence fans forget about this team so often when we get to see them at home as rarely as Big Foot sightings.

We're doomed until we can get that 1988 win over Texas under our belts.

A directive from the Sun Belt says teams are to play 11 home games over a 2-season period.

"Note the dreaded Thanksgiving weekend home game (vs. Arkansas State Nov. 29) to end the season. UNT tried to move the game to a more favorable date for attendance, but to no avail."

Ark St schedule from "2008 Schedules" thread

So if we have an open date on Nov. 15, and so does Ark St, why can't we re-schedule the game for that date? Obviously we want to; does Ark St not want to?

I will be there on Nov. 29th if it isn't rescheduled.

It will be hard to even up our schedule as long at the OUs, LSUs, and Floridas of the world are playing 7-8 home games a year. There are only so many ways to even up when there are teams unbalancing the schedule. The only away games some of these teams play are the ones set by their conference. If the NCAA wants to help add a little more parity, then they should mandate a 6 home, 6 away schedule. But that will not be happening any time soon (see $$$).

Arkansas State is open Nov. 15 as are we. The funny thing is that the Red Wolves have 3 (that's three) open dates in the '08 season. They also play one game after our Nov. 22 meeting. Seems to me that both schools would be better off to play on Nov. 15 and avoid a game on Thanksgiving weekend.

Beat the Red Wolves and everyone else.

I for one hope it is Thanksgiving weekend. It could give me my first opportunity to get back to Fouts for a home game in several years.

I see no reason why it can't be played on Nov 15th. But, obviously people much smarter than us decided Thanksgiving weekend was a good choice.

It is my understanding that the INDIANS were ready to move the game due to their obligation to the holiday , however several RED WOLVES do NOT recognize such or any national holidays , thus keeping the game on THANKSGIVING weekend.

While the schedule looks like it sucks, if there is a bowl game on the line I am certain we will have good attendance.

We don't plan on going out of town anyways, so we will be there.

Just a thought but maybe Ark St. didn't want to move it because they thought that they will have more fans willing to travel with the team on a long weekend. I don't know, but it's possible.

Unless they shock everybody and have a really good team next year, I don't think ASU brings more than a handful to the game--on either date.

Well I guess that means we will be in violation of this rule. We had 5 home games last year and 5 home games this year, that only makes 10. Looks like we are 1 home game short.

Well, that directive came out last year. So, in order to comply we will need 6 home games for the 2009 season.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
