I usually try to make 1 road trip a year to watch the MEAN GREEN as the away team. I've had the Rice game circled on my calender for awhile and was really looking forward to the short drive down to Houston. My wife and I just found out they will be expecting our 1st child and the due date is , October 1st , just days after the RICE game. I really don't see how I can get out of that :lol:

Plan B : Looks like now I'll be heading to Manhattan for the first time on 08/30. I know we have played there in 1985,1989,2000 and 2005 . For those who have been or planning on going where is the best place to stay , where will you be staying. Good places to eat and will you be tailgating??

Are there ever chartered buses for out of town UNT football games? It seems like this would be a logical game for one.

Not if you have to do an overnight--cost is prohibitive and logistics are a nightmare. Rice in Houston makes much more sense for a bus trip.

Yes, Rice would be a good trip for a bus, down and back the same day.

I'm ok with that...it couldn't be that much more time on the bus than the Euless to San Antonio (by way of Hwy 281 due to a tanker spill on I35) bus trip I took in December for the HS class 5A championship game.

I plan on going. Last time I was there was in '89(yes that was a long, miserable drive home from that game) and we stayed in some roach motel in Abilene.

Was that the game that broke Kansas State's really long losing streak? If so, I do remember that. I hate being a part of that kinda statistic.

Can someone give me an idea of what Manhattan KS is like? Is it nice? Me and some friends want to go to a road game or 2, make a weekend out of it. Just trying to narrow down the choices. Is it a nice drive, or boring? How much those tix will cost? etc?

Myself +4. We intend to make all of the home games, all of the radio shows, and a majority of the away games. However, we do have a conflict with the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville...that's a can't miss and we have tix.

Yup, that's the one. I have the clip out of the newspaper of the students tearing down the goal post thanks to a really bad pass interference call that helped them score on their last drive. Our life story it seems?

And here's a photo that tells anyone all they need to know about FOUTS. 33 1/2 yards from the front row seat at the 50 yard line and the nearest point of the playing surface.

I love this board we even turn road trip talk into Fouts bashing.

It'll be nice when our games are "can't miss" with our fans.

I am excited about playing K-State, but I will be observing this one from Denton, even if its via radio. My road $$ will be spent in Houston. Having lived there, I KNOW that there is fun to be had in that town!

I have to disagree with the most of the negative thoughts about the Little Apple. In the mid 80's I worked for K-state and lived there for a year doing a project for them. I like the town and the bars in Aggieville are a hoot and I always found the students nice and respectful. Now, you have to remember that when I lived there they are probably the worst football team in America and coached by a guy they pulled out of high school. If you want to miss the toll roads you can go to Salina, Ks. and make a right on I-70 to go through Abilene and that way. The worst part of the drive is Oklahoma and not Kansas. I hope you go and have fun.

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

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.

      Two things that standout in the stat lines to me. Time Of Possession: sa had the ball nearly 20 minutes longer than we did. And, 3rd Down Conversion: sa converted 10 of 18 3rd downs. We only converted 2 of 11. Thats devastating to an already struggling defense, time and effort wise. Then you compound wasting that effort away by pissing away the easy points afforded you by gambling on 4th downs inside the 30. Maybe our FG kicker has the shanks or something? But to me changing D coordinators isn’t going to fix all of our problems because right now we have no idea how to manage a 60 minute football game, which is Classic Air Raid. Rick

      Yep, and thanks. So, are MSU and UTSA the only 2 ranked opponents we’ve ever beaten? I can’t find a good resource for that info but did hear it announced during the Army game. If so, that’s even more pathetic than I first thought: one win was via forfeit and the other was against a startup program.

      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.
