I think all we can do now is focus on the stadium and understand our team cannot compete now - and the stadium cannot even compete. We have neglected the fact we must keep up with other universities and we are now paying the price. A new stadium will help us start from scratch. If the students realize they ultimately have the power to turn this around - hopefully we will get a "yes" vote.....all we have is hope at this point.

If the stadium vote doesn't pass we should drop out of DI football. There's no way we'll ever become competitive if we can't invest in our program, and if this is as good as we can be, I'd just rather drop out.

If the vote doesn't pass, and the coaching staff doesn't do something, anything, then it's gonna' go like this...

What do UNT and its special teams have in common?

They both drop football.

When FIU becomes a body bag game, it's time to start looking at teams like Northlake college as more appropriate competition. (Do they even have a team?)

No, but I'm sick of hearing jokes about how we lost to TWU in OT from friends and coworkers... (or add in University of Pheonix online, clown college, school of the blind, SMU, etc.) I've come to accept the fact that we will never be seriously competitive with UT or OU, but all I ask is that we don't get blown out by schools that sound more like an airport than a university.

I know everyone on this board realizes this but the stadium will be built for the future of UNT and North Texas Athletics and not just for this team, or even the next coach and players that come through. UNT has as many exciting things happening as any other major University in the nation. I just attended the ground breaking ceremony for the new Chemistry building, a LEED silver and hopefully gold certified building. Folks, this is cool and it is big! We have many academic building accomplishments on campus. This president does not feel a new stadium is out of balance with our academic accomplishments. Bottom line, Dr. Bataille and company now know how behind we are in many areas. One only knows that after becoming committed to changing the situation. No "head in the sand" mentality for this administration. Much research has gone in to "what UNT needs". It is completely understood the stadium is top priority. We have to spend some time in Austin fighting for our piece of funding on research and many other lopsided legistlation that goes on down there.

Go Mean Green, Join the Mean Green Club, Join the Alumni Association and be a strong North Texas Football fan by being a continued season ticket holder!!

Just a correction - That would be the new Life Sciences Complex, not a new chemistry building (they got theirs a few years ago), that just had the groundbreaking.

No, but I think TCC does.

I thought their University was AT the airport...

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
