Wfaa 2009 Schedule...6 Home Games

[OldTimer]

WFAA reports that RV has stated NT will have 6 home games in 2009 ...the first time sine 1996, NT is working to finalize contract with Army and working to fill a final spot.

AWESOME!

Well, it is a 12 game schedule, so therefore I believe it should be unacceptable for anyone at North Texas to schedule less than 6 at home. With the availability of 1AA teams to schedule, 7 home games should be the norm at least every other year.

This is good news, but when will they actually announce the schedule? When complete, or next March? Suspense...

So maybe that would be Army, 4 conference games and....... ?

This is GREAT NEWS...let's go after Navy, Rice, Air Force...Tulane (how about a home and away with Tulane so we can make a road trip to Nerw Orleans? Think about it!). As I continue to say...good things are happening at UNT....

Hasn't he "stated" a new stadium by 2010?

Geoff, I think that you're going to defeat your purpose. We won't draw well playing 1-AA opponents (except maybe Texas State, SFA and/or Sam Houston State).

There will be times that if you want a team that will draw well at Fouts (or better yet the new stadium) then we will have to have an occasional 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 deal, which means that we might have to use a 1-AA to keep us at six. Even then, there will be an occasional 5-game home schedule as I see it.

I believe that every Sun Belt school should have as its scheduling target:

Home:

4 conference

1 I-A as part of a home/home

1 I-AA

Away:

4 conference

1 Big check game

1 I-A as part of a home/home
