Of course, another "not so scientific" poll since many outside UNT visit GMG.com and vote for what most of us would not. For instance, those SBC'ers visiting will most always vote "NT Luv's Ya' Belt--Stays Put" NOTE: If polls or certain threads make you so tense, why do you continue to read them? :unsure:

So...just another re-alignment poll which we can all blame on the Big East and TCU! :lol:

GMG!

PS: And what is your logic with the choice you made as far as UNT's long term success in said new conference?

...and something to just kill more down time since that is what most of us are on here doing as it is. :P

I'm sure the MWC will be knocking down our doors

Why so negative? Everybody loves somebody somtimes to quote that great Dean Martin song line, and just who knows, maybe with this New Stadium @ The Mean Green Village, our prospects for new suitors will now get us some new love?

Us and Houston together would be my first choice out of that scenario. ...but I see MWC replacing TCU with SMU before NT.

The interest in CUSA for me sort of goes down a big notch if SMU isn't there. It is the only real natural rivalry for us in CUSA.

Houston? Rice? UTEP? Tulsa? these are all good rivalries. I think we should BEAT THE HELL OUTTA ALL OF 'EM.

I doubt TCU leaves in the 1st place , but if they did MWC would probably invite UTEP & Houston. If we could get into C-USA that would be great , but we would once again be against LaTech and maybe even TRoy , mtsu & wku all for that bid. I think SMU would probably not help our cause either

Not negative just being realistic. If you really wanted the BEST CASE i think the BIGXII would be our ideal situation , right ? Plum I think you are the one setting the bar low here , not me ;)

No bar being set at all, but If I were setting any bars we'd been in the Southwest Conference about Year 4 of Fry's career in Denton. That was most all of our goals those of us on GMG.com old enough to have been around when we were shooting high for "so called" bars or barometers of success--a practice we quit doing almost the day Fry signed a contract with Iowa of the Big 10. You say, uh, Big 12? :unsure: Now really...where did the realism suddenly go?

I voted for #3, but by a razor-thin margin. In the short term, I think C-USA would be better for UNT. Even without SMU, we would have some excellent rivalries. But MWC is a step up, and is close to being an AQ conference. And most, if not all, of the Texas C-USA schools would bolt C-USA for MWC in a heartbeat. We could conceivably be joined later on in MWC by more of the Texas schools.

      Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

      RIP Dana. Too young indeed. He worked his craft his whole life. A short life well lived.

      what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.

      Craponi should give his salary to Rod Brown for misusing him. In general, Rod has never been valued enough. He has been outstanding in very tough circumstances.

      Well NT 80, you are right. I am a dinosaur, but far from being a bitter fan. I have had a lot of joy through UNT athletics through out the decades but also some disappointment. I don't understand why our students show so little support and alumni give so little money. I don't understand why we can't build a winning football program but I expect you will tell us. I agree that my social graces have slipped but one of the pleasures of becoming an old man is not having to suffer fools.I will also at 82 admit to occasional memory lapses although I must say you are unforgettable. In summary I disagree with most but not all of your posts, respect your right to have a different opinion, find you easy to pimp,and wish you a blessed life.
