Fingers cross that will be my first year at law school there. If so, I will be wearing green in a sea of purple and yellow.

They practice law in Louisiana? I thought they just lined up and yelled insults about each other's family trees...made up and then ate some fried 'gator and drank some 'shine together. Who knew?

Is it still based on the Napoleonic Code in Louisiana?

If we're going to keep scheduling these body bag games can we at least spice it up a bit? It gets old getting your head kicked in by LSU, OU, Alabama, and Texas. Seems like we just rotate between these four. I would love to see us play at Kyle Field or "The Big House."

Then why go to law school in Louisiana and study that Napoleonic Code stuff that isn't used anywhere but in the swamps of Louisiana? Plenty of great law schools in Texas, and I'll bet you could get into just about any one you wanted. Besides UNT needs you sitting in your seat at Fouts for ALL the home games. Looking at the bright side, you will probably raise the IQ of the whole state several notches just by showing up at LSU Law.

Can you still practice law in Louisiana by passing the bar without having attended law school? In Texas (many many years ago) you used to be able to work for an attorney and "read the law" and then go take the bar exam. I heard that they still did that in Louisiana.

Ragarding future so called "body bag" games, I'd like us to go 2 pricing levels. Option 1, $1 million each for 2 games and a return game in Denton. Or, option 2, $2 million per game with no game to be scheduled in Denton. If we can't cash in and/or get a big name school at our place, I'd just as soon play a SFA or West Texas State here and have a 6th or 7th home game.

The big name schools schedule us for only one reason. Let's make them pay.

It will soon get spiced up with games at Georgia, Iowa, Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee.

Now that we have a visitor-worthy place I would rather us try to do a 2-1 with these larger programs instead of the one and done. If Smut can host A$M and Tech we should be able to also.

How about scheduling Notre Dame?

After Fouts is torn down, then we may have enough RV parking for the Notre Dame fans.

---If you are going to practice in Texas... you may have trouble with passing the bar... the Napoleanic code is very different... (son is a lawyer) .. Those who go to law schools outside of Texas have a lower passing rate anyway. Good luck... made sure and take the bar review courses here when you finish.

I don't believe SMU is hosting A&M, as that game got bought out because the Aggies are now playing Arky here every year. That said, your point about playing a team like Tech at home is much more doable now that we have a nice stadium to come to.

Those games you mentioned as being spiced up have only one name that I think we should have scheduled--Iowa. No-return games at the powers of the SEC and the Big XII early in the year are just ridiculous. I think we should take a body bag game against a Big Ten/Pac Twelve team that you might actually be able to compete with while getting the big check. To me, playing at Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, or Wisconsin just seems more advantageous to our program at this point than going to Tennessee, Florida, LSU, Georgia, or Alabama. Plus, I think that we could get a 2 for 1 with one of those Big Ten teams (eventually) faster than we could with one of those SEC teams.

Now if we are going to play those teams in this setup, then schedule them for later in the year. Troy almost beat Georgia and LSU on the road in November matchups when those teams have been beaten up, too. Watching us lose 58-0 at Baton Rouge, Austin, or Norman early in the year just gives the local media and fanbase more apathy, not to mention what it does to your team's morale and health. I just hate playing those schools while we are trying to actually build something here. Maybe gettting killed at Iowa is just as bad, but I have a feeling that it wouldn't be as bad as losing to a regional power that has major ties to Texas for recruiting and media coverage, not to mention the T-shirt fans that are actual UNT alums or students.

Last I checked, seven states still have some varying method of becoming a lawyer without graduating from law school. I think they're all on the left or right coast, and that none of them are in the South other than Virginia. My grandfather was a Texas lawyer without spending a day in law school many moons ago, and my dad got a military exemption from having to take the Texas Bar Exam after graduation. Things aren't quite so easy these days.

Well, damn. I hate the away games vs. OU/UT/LSU/Alabama.

I don't mind so much playing the Big 12 on the road, but I've about had my fill of these SEC games. Unless of course we can schedule a Vandy team which hasn't been too bad themselves in recent years. That conference has just got too much all-around speed (among other things) for us to deal with at this point in time.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.
