Don't you just hate the off-season? Oh... What the hell, man!

I would like to see the formation of a "New Southwest Conference" with regional rivals. We'll just cherry pick schools from around here that most of us would love to see UNT play (like SMU,TCU,UH,UTEP,Tulsa,Baylor,TWU), and that way we can cut down on travel costs, plus build intrastate rivalries!

Thoughts?

New? Was there an old Southwest Conference? If so, did we ever have a chance to get invited to it? Or were we blocked by some nefarious, well-groomed nemesis? That would be like a total conspiracy. At least the refs wouldn't screw us over in big games against these opponents with BS calls/BS lack of calls.

When I woke up today, I thought... "I hope I get to read what some dude with a bleacher report account has to say about hypothetical conference realignment".

At least... I think I woke up today and thought that.

JayDub, a sincere thank for posting this very informative and thought-proving thread.

Amazing, Villeunova (sp?) was a school we once took a couple of players when they dropped football back in the early 80's and now they may get a Big East invite? What the hell is fair in any of this, folks! :no:

I felt UNT should have made its move 25 years ago (as in a new D1 stadium) but my gold mine still hadn't panned out at that time, either. Like UH's plans seen on another thread, many of us also felt our initial stadium size should probably have been closer to 40K. (You wonder if we can build the "beaut" we have going up now that there would have to be some more revenue for just 5-10,000 more seats? I think stadium size will come into play eventually and sure we can expand in the sweet by and by but at UNT in the past, the sweet by and by seems to have always gone the way of.......bye! bye!

IMHO, you cannot blame any of today's UNT staff from top to bottom for our present predicament and present athletic conference we reside; in fact, you have to go way back to put the finger on anyone if one wants to do that but for the moment that is not even important and is a time-waster.

BUT..........we should all be very glad we have Chuck Neinas (along with all his friends in high places) advising us and hopefully he will get an extension to his contract at UNT. I like the very aggressive AD Rick Villerreal during such times and our interim president of whom you all say is a keeper, too, as far as progressing our athletic program.

But my answer to every bit of this for now is: KingDL1 aka Tony, bring even more beer tomorrow than previously planned. Tell me how much I need to bring and we'll all have 1 more than we probably should have as we discuss all the "woulda-coulda's" of our alma mater. :thumbsup:

On the other hand: I think UNT does have a bright future no matter whats going on because one day our humongous numbers will also come into play once we figure out of way of getting everyone from the UNT community on the same page at one time.

GMG!

At the same time, I wonder how many games it will take for Dodge to stay around as coach. Anyone have any thoughts on what it will take?

/sarcasm for those not sure of context...

You Young Gun Alums are killing me! :lol:

But...uh, 7?

You owe me a keyboard...and a new pair of underwear, as I may have just pissed myself laughing. I love that damn pic.

Glad I could screw with everyone, today. :)

I think it was more Blade Runner masquerading as La Jetée.

Do not challenge this man when it comes to movies...er, I mean, film.

Who is this 'Tobi' character??

I think the scariest scenario he came up with was TCU leaving the MWC to rejoin CUSA. That has the potential to pretty much bury us. Granted, LaTech would also permanently be stuck in either the WAC or SunBelt in that scenario. I like the idea of aligning with LaTech, ULL and Ark. St (to a lesser extent). If we ended up in a conference with Texas St. it would not be the end of the world and would probably lead to a decent rivalry. I do not like UTSA near as much as Texas St....just a different kind of campus and school. I'd stay away from them as much as possible.

Either way, what he outlines would get us out of traveling to FIU and FAU....but then has us traveling to Idaho, Utah St, and Hawaii. I'm not sure there is a good trade off either way. I'd much rather figure out a way to lure LaTech back to the Sunbelt and then add a Texas St or NMSU, then create the divisions in the Sun Belt that he covets in his WAC example. The fact is that there is far better recruiting to be had (for UNT) in the current Sun Belt than this new WAC. We are pulling good players from Texas over and into the deep south. I just can't see New Mexico, Utah, and Idaho giving us any advantage from that standpoint. We may get a few players every year from California, but it'd be the same as us getting recruits from Florida.

yea this guys is trying to make a big deal... if it came down to it, we could always go Indy, there are teams out there that would love to play in our new stadium, in the recruiting capital of texas... we are in no trouble, patience is a vurtue. CUSA will come calling or the SB will add La Tech or NMSU

The triple-fake love child of War Games and Logan's Run

If "A.I." got wasted and hooked up with "There Will Be Blood" while "Back to School" filmed the whole thing, you'd get "Inception".

And, of course, there is always a 3% chance of final judgement, which makes the conference shake up mute.

Don't forget the whole Mayan calendar thing either. Since the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012, there just doesn't seem to be much point in worrying about all this.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      Build the rivalry between North Texas (Good Guys) and Texas State (Someone needs to be the bad guys 🤣), and everyone can agree that we wish UTSA nothing but bad luck

      You cant talk about a fanbase when we double your attendance. Funny how 4 and 5 star guys come play football and basketball in 3rd Ward but won't even look in San Marcos' direction. When opposing fans talk smack and try to start fights atnthe game, they get beer, red paint, etc dumped on them. Oh well. Texas Tech does even worse stuff. Hell, everything Tech and UH play each other, there's always a brawl in the stands. Lmao

      If the owners of this stie didn't need the visits/posts from you, you'd be gone...which is extremely pathetic on many, many levels.
