I know there was trepidation over a large voter turnout, but I think the level of participation and the convincing result makes this an even stronger statement in favor of the new stadium. The students really stepped up.

This is the first time I can remember when the student body - not just a few individuals like the hard-core on this board - stepped up and said, "We want more from the athletic department, we expect more from the athletic department, and we're willing to pay more to support the athletic department." These students deserve tremendous credit for doing what has not happened at North Texas before.

This is a very encouraging day, one to be long remembered.

Students voted this week to build a new $60 million stadium at NT for the Mean Green football team

Well, they almost got all the facts right. The stadium isn't simply for the football team. It's for the university and all of it's alumni and students and for those who will come after them.

I want to do something very special and very easy for the students at homecoming and I will ask every single one of you alumni to help me.

Stay Tuned.

It is also for the Marching Band, the Cheerleaders, the Student Assistants, Dance team, Cannon Crew, and endless other organizations that participate on game day. This is an INVESTMENT in the future of UNT. I am glad the result turned out very positive for NT Athletics....but don't ever let me go through a week like that again!

I think that Flyer was stating that this was the first time that The Daily hasn't intentionally spread disinformation to further their agenda.

This issue isn't unique to the North Texas paper. One of the largest news sources in the world, Pravda, had the same type of issues with it's credibility from 1912 to 1991. It retained higher standards of journalistic integrity than the NT Daily, but not by much.

I still love how The Daily reported that the University of Houston is able to magically fund it's athletic program through rainbows and sunshine.

      Morris needs to own the Caponi hire

      Just win. Yes, win with class, but win. Figure out a way to get this team to 8 wins or better, win a bowl game, and I won't care if your granny is our DC.

      Morris needs to own the Caponi hire

      Morris listened to Caponi in the 2023 off season when I presume Caponi said he could rebuild the defense to fit the system. I have a few things I would like to point out. 1) First, Morris not firing Caponi after season 1 is low risk. Caponi is on a 2 year contract and if it doesn't work out, reload in 2025 with a new coordinator. You don't disrupt the pipeline of players coming in recruit and transfer portal wise, and you try to make it work. I don't fault Morris for this decision. 2) Firing Caponi after last season could do a couple of things. It would make any potential DC leery of taking the spot if they think they won't get a couple of seasons to try to turn things around. As HC, Morris needed to afford a second season to Caponi. 3) Firing him midseason will not help the morale of the locker room 4) We're in our third non-conference game going into our fourth 2-1. If there is any time to try to figure stuff out it is now, prior to conference play. I want to see how this defense does in conference play. I am not defending the horrible defensive performances over the past season and a quarter. We have to consider all angles of this and it is still very early in the season.

      Oregon State AD: Pac-12 will look to add new schools quickly

      The new PAC won't be treated like a power conference but it will unquestionably be the dominant G5 conference in both football and basketball. We'll see what kind of pitch they're able to make to Memphis/Tulane but if they are able to lure them out of the AAC it will be an absolute war between any of the remaining viable options for PAC expansion.

      USA Today Re-Rank

      USA Today has moved us from a rank of 100 to 97. Maybe, if we had lost by a larger margin , we might have climbed even higher.
