No need to take it personal. Frankly I am pretty happy because despite us being NTSU to those few posters and while it seems they're downgrading us and what not they are still taking the time to see what is going on in Denton. Even they're not stupid to think the potential we have. Let's just keep on doing what we're doing.

I work with a bunch of SMU alums daily, one of which is a club member. They are always respectful when we chat UNT and SMU sports. In fact, they are jealous of our Mean Green Village and facilities. Comments like the one above is just insecurity and ignorance on that knee jerk fan.

GO MEAN GREEN!

Sadly for the ponies, North Texas State University, North Texas State College, North Texas State Teachers College, North Texas State Normal and North Texas Normal can all beat SMU. As many have mentioned in the past, a strong North Texas is very disturbing to SMU.

Both schools have good things going on for them. UNT is just on a sudden rapid improvement phase across the board and people with ignorance about its accomplishments don't really understand why--all of the sudden--we're demanding more respect. I'm not just talking about SMU folks, but most people outside of UNT who still have that negative mentality about North Texas. For example, today at work I was talking to a couple of co-works about college football. I mentioned that UNT has the potential to being a great athletic (with a strong football program contending with the big boys) school with strong academics...mainly due to it's location and size. One of them, a TAMU graduate, started to giggle. I always try to educate people like that about UNT and its improvements (which have been tremendous this past decade) and where it wants to go. We need more UNT alumni to have that passion and pro-active support toward what the institution is trying to accomplish...tier one research status with strong athletics and maintain its high-level liberal arts program. Even by just educating people about these things, your already helping to "clean-up" the institution's negative reputation around the area.

Love the calling out of Hoopman X with all of his preseason class predictions. I was just talking the other day about how he caught a bit too much lip on this site but after reading his comments I am more than content to declare open season on him. Travis Bickle is the type of guy that you would see in a social setting and would make some type of ignorant and strongly offensive statement and then weasel out of it as soon as he felt the least bit threatened. So in a game of percentages.... we have a couple of very polite and genuine SMU posters on this board who apologize for a "few rotten apples" but all I see are rotten apples from PhonyFans.com.

Seriously.... read the Tweets from this jackass to his own coach! All that expertise he flaunts must mean that he is a straight baller to say the least. I mean... how else could someone call out a coach as obsessively as he does??

Tell the TAMU grad that there are grads of TAMU, UT, TT, and KSU that I know who purchased club seats at Apogee. One I know tapes TAMU games when the times conflict and watches the Mean Green live.

Oh yeah? That's awesome. Do they have any affiliation with UNT?

I'm just glad DePaul finally has a conference mate they can look down on.

It's been a rough decade for them.

I draw the line at shots taken towards DePaul.

My wife is a grad of that wonderful university where the degree means so much more than NT. DePaul is a Tier 1 university and on par with any Ivy League school or Oxford. People from NT could only dream of ever setting foot on the campus let alone attending or watching a sporting event of that most prestigious institution of higher learning!

Of course I am mocking the tone of that ridiculous thread on the SMU forum.

Although my wife did graduate from DePaul and we were married at the Church on campus.

You sure had me going.

BTW, DePaul is a fine university.

Agreed, on both counts.

It's been a hard road for them in hoops, though. Luckily, there's a new Big East whipping boy on the way in.

Yeah saw that. If that doesn't give you insight into the egocentric personality this guy flaunts... I don't know what will. The kinda guy you wouldn't mind publicly slapping the crap out of.

      Honest tactical question here…

      To your point, even if you are intend to run a hurry-up offense, there are times when it makes sense to SLOW TF DOWN. Too many times our D would finally get off the field, either by a punt or score, then the offense would start at the 22 and run 3 plays that took only 0:50 seconds off the clock. This might consist of a caught pass and a running play, after which we would snap the ball with 20+ seconds on the play clock. Add in one incomplete pass and your 3-and-out not only rested the D for less than 5 minutes (3 minute commercial and 2 minutes of execution), but it took less than a minute off the clock, lengthening the game. This happened numerous times. An air-raid offense should only have the rare 3-and-out from their own 20. We usually had at least 2 per game. Often on the opening drive.

      Then disband the entire UNT athletic department. Why even try?

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      A home softball game probably averages 500 fans, more for bigger teams. Similar for soccer. I think baseball would attract more, and the AAC is a quality league. Say 1000 attend. That's 1000 more per contest than attend golf, swimming, or track events. Those fans and alums are potential donors, and potential sponsors for advertising, or other sports attendance. Anything to get an alum back on campus supporting the school is a positive. The non-rev sports? Why do we even fund them or need them? Title IX? Check the sports offerings at schools with baseball and Title IX is not a consideration. I say re-allocate resources to revenue sports.

      Around the AAC (11/25/2024)

      at least we're likely get to see what Vice has against Memphis once these Tiger bigs foul Sissoko out by the under 12 timeout.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      UIW....no one cares! None of this made him the most qualified candidate to be the head coach at UNT, but here we are. We've regressed significantly under his leadership. He has had no role in developing Rogers or Morris. They were already proven and developed by others. It's not like he discovered a QB no one ever heard of. And for all his ability to identify QB talent, he picked the wrong one for the first two games last year. He is incredibly lucky that Morris ended up here this year. If he's not our QB this season, we'd probably be 1-10 instead of 5-6. Fortunately SMU left the conference and we got to play both Tulsa and Temple twice these last two seasons. He's 0-2 against Vito's "premier rival" and now has us sitting at #97. We took a risk with this hire and it's blown up in our face.
