Just for once it would be nice to play a AA team at the start of the season AT HOME ...like the Big Schools schedule us for warmups.

Looks like MUTS for homecoming? I'd be happy with that.

Do we want to play a FCS school right now? The last thing I want to do is walk out of the stadium with a loss to a Southland school.

MeanGreenEagle · January 3, 2009

I think the other non conference game is vs. Ohio at home.

I need all the help I can get on info for Home games. My employer makes me pick my days off for the whole year Feb 2nd. I do work a few Saturdays each month. So any help would be great.

NO to 1-AAs. :angry:

Travis · January 3, 2009

I thought we would be at Tulsa for a return game.

untbowler · January 3, 2009

NO to 1-AAs.

Yup god forbid UNT to be like 75% of the 1-A schools and schedule a 1-AA home game to pad the stats. <_<

Zeke · January 3, 2009

I agree that we need to schedule FCS schools for the home opener - but I also agree that we should not do it in the Dodge era. I think we all know what the outcome would be.

All we have to do with find a 1AA that either starts a lot of freshmen or is coached by a former junior high coach and we'll win...I'm almost pretty sure.

NT91 · January 3, 2009

ACU for the first game at Fouts.

MDH · January 3, 2009

I think the other non conference game is vs. Ohio at home.

This is what I remember.

The Fake Lonnie Finch · January 3, 2009

I do like the look of this schedule. And, as always, I am for one against an FCS school. It'd be nice for the home opener to be a momentum gainer for the teams. Heck, it'd be nice to have a real early home game for a change!

I still say Stephen F Austin or Sam Houston State. They've got tons of alumni in the DFW area. It won't happen, so I'll just be happy to have Ball State and Army.

UNT90 · January 3, 2009

ACU for the first game at Fouts.

This could be a loss for UNT.

But, hey, I guess any publicity is good publicity.

Greendylan · January 3, 2009

I can understand the arguments against scheduling an FCS opponent; however, I feel that we're really placing ourselves at a disadvantage in terms of wins, considering the vast number of teams that regularly use an FCS game to inflate their record. Of course, this would have been of little consequence the last couple years, and there's certainly no guarantee that we would even win, but at some point in the future it could be the difference between a 6-6 team that stays home or a 7-5 team that receives a bowl invite.

I just laughed so hard that I farted!

TIgreen01 · January 3, 2009

Damn. I would have loved to see this schedule about 4-5 years ago. We might have gone 11-1. You know, what Boise does every year against eirily similar schedules.

Maybe we're finally getting our sh!t together on the scheduling front? Putting an a home game against an FCS team as a season opener would be the final icing on this cream-puff cake...

NT91 · January 4, 2009

Will we have 6 home games?

NT03 · January 4, 2009

there are no other teams that I have found play before THursday the 3rd. Also Troy faces Bowling Green on the same date. All others kickoff the college football weekend on the following the saturday, the 5th.

Maybe ... ESPN ???????????

And jusy an FYI Ball State consisted of 70 fresh and sophs this year. They will return their starting QB, top 2 returning RBs, MAC freshman of the year WR Briggs Osbon and Freshman ALL AMERICAN safety Sean Baker. They have a handful of other returning starters whom are returing.

I guess they lost their one game this year because they were SOOO young :ph34r:

oldguystudent · January 4, 2009

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe I read somewhere that one of the stipulations of being 1A is to have at least 6 home games every other year. Since we only had 5 this year, don't we then get 6 next? As for who we schedule, until we can beat somebody, anybody, I think it's really neither here nor there.
