Impressive info on a team that hasn't even taken it's 1st snap yet. Looks like they are moving in the right direction. Already have a 2 for 1 deal with NC State with the Wolfpack traveling to Mobile in 2015.

*Also if you want to scout , Bama spring game currently airing on ESPN.

"Matt Saucier threw for one touchdown and ran for another as USA concluded spring practice with a scrimmage in front of more than 8,000 fans Friday at Ladd-Peebles Stadium."

They may be "passed away" after those body bag games! This year they are playing the Winnetka Brownie Troop 7 and the Little Sisters of the Poor (as they should). But could they really be able to be competitive with NC State, Tennessee and Navy (they got a multiple home-and-home deal!) in just a handful of seasons? If they are, we should hang our heads in shame for our own futility.

Don't be surprised to see them on the North Texas schedule before too long. They will be in our conference some day and would be a good nonconference opponent - sort of like Western Kentucky - until then.

They can be on the schedule as early as 2011 & will be a full time SUNBELT football member by 2013.

What have they really done here? Scheduled two away games at NC State, one of which won't even count for NC State toward bowl eligibility, they scheduled a body bag game with Tennessee, and they got a 4-game series with a service academy.

Look at our future schedule... We have a 4-game series with Army, a two for 1 home-away series with K-State, a home-away deal with Ball State, a home-away deal with Rice, two home games vs Ohio U, and an 8-year series with SMU.

That looks pretty even if you ask me for being a team starting up.NCSt & KState is a wash , they have a body bag game vs Tenn , we have a body bag game vs Bama. We have a 4 game series with Army & they have a 4 year series with a service academy.

I'm sure they can find comparable opponents with the powerhouses we have lined up like Ohio U , Ball St , Rice & SMu to do home and homes with.

They had 8,000 at their spring game , about 4 x the amount we had. I'd say they are moving in the right direction.

And I beleive that UNT had more than Troy. Spring game attendance is really not a true barometer of success.I agree that they may be moving in the right direction but some folks on this board are just to eager to wave a white flag. :surrender:

I agree that spring attendance means almost nothing , but Troy's game was cut short by heavy downpours of rain and and only lasted a little over an hour. I just think they (SBama) may have already gained a stronger fanbase than what we have. Our spring game was in perfect weather , we were having a big event to show off our new stadium and this program has been around since father time...all that and we got maybe 2000 in attendance. I know the school listed a much higher number , but if you were actually there you would know the real number. This team has done nothing and already has 8,000 fans to back up their team for a scrimmage.

Think I'll wait and see what happens when the new wears off and they actually take the field.

So you think we inflated attendance and South Alabama didn't?

Is it a possibility that their fans are really excited to see the first ever USA team take the field? This is the silliest thread ever.

True, but what's our excuse for not having more fans ?? I mean shouldn't we too be exciting about our upcoming football season while hearing info on our new stadium?

Silly , no. I think some do not want to admit that one day South Alabama will be in our conference and if we don't improve they will steam roll us just like the FIUs of the world. We like to look down on teams like this like we are better than they are , but I bet 6/7 years ago most were rolling your eyes about the thought of teams like FIU and FAU before they joined the Belt

I don't know that I agree with that. It's imperative on this board to compare UNT to everything except when we can't compare UNT to anything.

Never try to drink anything and read an oldguystudent post at the same time unless you enjoy choking.

South Alabama is already in our conference. This is not new news. Of course they have a good showing for their first ever game, even FIU sold out their stadium for their first ever game. If we had a first ever taking place, we would have a large crowd, too. We are also coming off a lousy season, actually a few lousy seasons. It is amazing that we had more than a few hundred at our Spring Game after the last few years. Dodge's first year had 8,000 for the game. Anytime there is something brand new, people get excited.

I agree 100% with what you are saying ,SBama will not be able to compete for a Conference football title however till 2013 I believe.

I just think 8K is a very impressive number consdidering that this University was created 1964 , has less than 15K students and only has a almuni total of just over 60,000. Compared to UNT : created in 1890 , 34K students and a alumni somewhere near 200,000 ( more than 1/2 of which still live in the dfw area)

We did have something new with our spring game . I thought with new info on the stadium we would have more folks who cared. I guess most people will not " believe it " until dirt is moved

South Bama already has NC State to Mobile in 2015 and now they have added Mississippi State to come there in 2014.

a BCS team ( Baylor ) has not made their way into Denton since 2003?? I know we are set to host K-St next year , but if still have a feeling they will pull out of the deal.

Hopefully that new stadium that is being built in 20XX will help land some more big time teams in Denton in home for home or 2 for 1 deals.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
