"A whole conference, the Sun Belt, competes for a berth in the New Orleans Bowl knowing it can't aim much higher."

Humm...good media or bad media? <_<

"We need campus life," Hickey said. (UTSA ATHLETIC DIRECTOR)

This is going to be UTSA's biggest hurdle, and it will not happen overnight. Look at how our tag, and though partly right, as a commuter school hurt us for years. It has certainly improved! Up until about 10 years ago, most of the students that lived on or near campus did not stay in Denton on the weekend. It has greatly improved, I know first hand as a business owner on the square, these college students hang out on the weekend. And we had pretty good student attendance I think the last few seasons. Certainly, it could be better, and if we start winning, the ones in the parking lot may actually come into the stadium. UTSA does not even have a "Fry Street". I know they have a coach that has won a national title, but schools were not even honking outside his house to hire him, much less knock on his door. The Alamodome will look more like the state high school championship attendance as for as a crowd goes. I also believe UTSA alum is a lot less likely to support the athletic program than UNT's alums. And we know what could happen if even 40 to 50% of our base in the metroplex would step up.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      It was the right call. Wyoming had big tight end sets and it would have been silly to have the 3-high look against it. For what it is worth we held SFA to similar numbers with the 3-high. My eyes told me the 3-4 look was the same "scheme" with the fourth linebacker just taking the star's responsibilities. In the defense's playbook, that mostly means you don't have the option to go to some false looks to disguise which safety is playing deep. In reality, the team still can do all the split-field safety stuff (2 high/quarters/2-read/2-man/ etc) stuff. The 3-4 is useful as we have lots of depth at linebacker now. The defensive line is also more effective. I think we'll see some 3-high stuff situationally, as it was primarily designed to stop spread offenses. In our league we have a lot of run-heavy squads so it is not necessarily useful here.

      3-1

      3-1 is 3-1 no matter who you play. They don't put asterisks next to the wins. North Texas football hasn't won a trophy in a while -- since 2014 - jan-1st. I want a league title, and/or a bowl game win. This is a means to an end but I can enjoy the journey along the way. @UNT 90 Grad all our wives look a little better this morning 😉

      3-1

      Spanked? If spanked means Tech beat Arizona State by a touchdown… The same Arizona State team that BARELY beat Texas State But I agree that 4-1 is doable.

      Could the AAC Expand to 16 Teams? Commissioner Pernetti's Talks with Air Force Hint at a Bold Vision for the Future

      No way UTSA has the money to pay a $27.5M exit fee. I can’t imagine any of the AAC school presidents willing to pay this much to leave for a conference without a TV deal in hand. If the PAC offers to pay the exit fee for Memphis and Tulane, they’ll have to shell out $55M, and if they want Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA it jumps to $110M. A scenario where the PAC has to tuck its tail between its legs and invite only UNLV and Utah State and stay at 8 schools is looking more likely by the day.

      Running back is the easiest position to replace. We are currently 3-1 and starting a transfer walk-on wide receiver at running back. You can find a D1 running back on the roster of every high school in Denton. Let everyone else burn their NIL $ on running backs while we use ours more strategically.
