good point. i'll take the horns due to the weather advantage

You can bet it will be a lot closer than the last 3 times we played in Austin!!! Remember in 2007 'Horns had some problems with UCF. I was impressed with FAU and especially their coaching in NOB and at Fouts. Ahhh ----remember light years ago when we thought a trip to NO in Dec. was expected? Now we talk four year programs to just become competitive. It will happen if admins do the RIGHT thing and kick up student fee to be competitive with the FAUs and FIUs that we compete against. If Lamar, UTSA, TX St @ SM can do it why can't UNT?

Yes because money solves everything. See "Notre Dame 2007" or "SMU."

UNT will almost certainly increase student fees and get this stadium built. Just don't think that solves all our problems.

Does this mean we have to reward UCF the 1988 Memorial "Almost Beat Texas" trophy? I have kind of grown attached...even though we had to start sharing it with Arkansas State last year.

It's pretty freaking hot and humid in Florida. Not sure UT will have a "weather" advantage in that game(though I expect them to win big).

I am a Florida native and have lived in Texas for 10 years. Still unsure which hot is worse: 95 and 70% humidity, or 110, dry, and windy.

If TeXas comes up flat like they did last year on opening day against ARKANSAS STATE , there will be a upset in Austin.

I'll take the Owls and the points

It's not all about money. In the reporting period ending 6/30/07, we had a 4 million dollar larger budget than FAU....they won 5 games; we won 2. FIU had 3 more million to work with than we did and didn't win a game.

That's not to say that we don't need the student fee in order to bond and build the new stadium; we do. But just to kick up the athletic budget won't buy us wins. Mississippi State has about the lowest athletic budget of the old BCS schools and we'd have to double ours to match them. They made it to a bowl last year with their relatively small budget.

You won't keep good coaches with a "relatively small budget" Until this administration decides to step up to D-1 salaries and funding we'll keep slipping further behind. You are fixing to see how fast money buys wins with June Jones @ SMU. If we keep on keeping on as is, we will rue the day we extend that contract, but my money is on them never agreeing to it now. BTW FIUs student fee $13 mill sure kicked our arse last game!!!

I honestly don't understand how enforcing an athletic fee on the students will make them have more pride in their school and make them give back financially and go to games. I also don't understand how, in essence, writing a larger blank check to administration for athletics when people have complained about how "small-time" our administration has been for years will suddenly make us a top tier school.

I'm just sayin' ............

As said previously $$ gets the right people who think big not as a small time, faculty dominated, "poor boy" non-traditional student ( commuters and old folks) oriented institution. $$ is the ONLY denominator that talks today in the NCAA. We have no Boone Pickens. Our ONLY strength is numbers--students and alumni --the time has come for someone to come forward and tap both of these rather than being gutless. You may step on a few toes, but it is the ONLY way to produce a product in which both alumni and students can take pride. Without that committment we won't even be SLC material in five years. If you don't think the demand is there now waiting to have something to believe and take pride in you should have been at the Dallas BlackFinn alumni event. People want to be proud of UNT, but our admins lack the guts to take the action that will fund a program to make them proud!!!

Have you been ignoring ADLER's posts all this time? You truly don't understand the bleeding that is currently going on by selling ourselves as a cheap, affordable, accessable degree to locals, who because of a collegiate setting that does not promote school pride of any kind campus wide, will never build any ounce of a bond to the university their entire time here then earn their degree and leave FOREVER, never to return or donate another dime back? Just one of the main reasons why our endowment is so rediculously low among other levels of alumni donations. Don't think of it as "immediate" because it won't be. Think of it as an investment, which is exactly what it will be for the future.

I wouldn't even go so far as making any attempt in trying to cultivate past alumni. Of those what?, 84,000 DFW alumni I doubt 10,000 give a rats? I'm thinking it's more like the 8,000 or so who we see at the more heavily attended football games, and that's it. The other 76,000 are gone as far as I'm concerned other than those the GreenBloods are personally in contact with and try dragging them out on saturday's. The rest are gone and shouldn't have money wasted on trying to bring them in. If anyone doesn't believe me then work a phone-a-thon some time and you'll understand. They only remember how it was and not how it is and they'll never return or donate back. The best way to bring them back is to invest to win and promote winning and teach the current students how to have pride in their school through athletic success. They will be more likely to come back in the future moreso than the old group.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      As someone who both hires and fires people, and who has had to tell people “sorry, but you just don’t meet our standard”, I cut Jared Mosley a little slack…until the season has ended. There can be times you know a change needs to be made but, for a myriad of reasons, you choose no comment over good or bad comments and you discreetly do what needs to be done. It isn’t flashy and doesn’t garner the headlines of a hardline “we DEMAND better!” statement, but the job gets done nonetheless. I agree that E. Morris is in well above his head, and beating ECU and a floundering Temple team won’t change that, but I can stomach a change being made at season’s end.

      The lost last year to FIU was enough for me to know this coach wasn't going to elevate the program.... We will be the weakness bowl team to get in....and I mean if we get in

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      This was so embarrassing. From 5-1 to 5-5 is just unfathomable. And we’ve looked like garbage for most of these losses. I think I’m just over this experiment. I watched the recent Dan Campbell clip where he’s describing his team’s identity, and he references having put “Grit” on the wall as a constant reminder of who/what is at the core of the team’s identity. We completely lack grit. A very soft, sloppy, undisciplined team and program overall. What is North Texas’ program identity? The only thing we appear to excel at is finding new and creatively embarrassing ways to disappoint our fans.
