After watching the Rangers beat the Yankees tonight, I am watching all of the fans go nuts. There are a lot of Ranger's fans who have been waiting a long time for this. And there are probably twice as many new fans jumping on the bandwagon. With 100k UNT alums in DFW, could you imagine what it would be like once UNT tastes similar success in football? If UNT could even have anything close to the recent success of TCU, this program would really take off.

Honestly, I have been shedding tears...after Elvis caught the out in Tampa and now after Feliz K's the devil.

I pull for the underdog...it is in my blood.

I tell you that I have caught at least a piece of every game this year. And for the last 39 years, through internet, radio, tv and newspaper, I have followed this team through bad times and bad, good times occasionally...Mark Holtz was my hero as much as the players, then Eric. My son took his first pitching lesson from Wettlend (sp?) and I have played poker with Pavlik. O

It is the one professional sport I can afford to take my entire family.

And now, my team is in the World Series.

If this loser can do it, then why not the Mean Green?

Well, I've thought about that lately. I do have one thing to say about that: I'm 63 now, so probably won't make it another 39 years to see UNT win in a bowl game.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
