Time for somebody to be stalking RV and Stallings this weekend...

It might also be good to be on the lookout for people getting a campus visit Friday as well..

Just saying... Who is the gomeangreen.com official stalker anyways?

CUSA offices are less than a mile from my house. You bring the beer.

This whole alliance concept is really starting to sour in my mind.

Why follow the path of the Big East and spread yourself out over two coasts? Especially when the TV increase is minimal.

Wouldn't the strategic thing be to do the opposite and build a regional alliance? Better travel and rivalries.

I question if this alliance concept moves forward at this point. If it does, not sure that I would want to be in it. To me CUSA is clearly the better league and has the better TV contract. What benefit do they get from the West?

I think even if the alliance get formed and stretches from coast to coast, if you receive an invite, you take it in a heartbeat. The TV money and the step up in conference affiliation would make up for the travel, which actually would still probably be ok if you figure we get games in Houston, NO, El Paso, Tulsa, and Albuquerque. That would make up for losing trips to Monroe, Lafayette, and Jonesboro, in my opinion.

I don't know that UNT fans would show up for a game against Marshall, Tulane, Wyoming, or Hawaii, but I think that being affiliated with teams with more recongizable names will help us more than staying in the SBC, ESPECIALLY if the SBC gets raided in any way. The idea of watching La Tech and MUTS or F_U move upward while we stay here would be beyond depressing, especially if the SBC replacement is another non-Texas FCS move-up (i.e., Georgia Southern). One thing we do know for sure is that North Texas won't get much help playing current SBC schools in Denton, attendance-wise. That much has been proven for over a decade now. Rivalries don't form when you play teams hundreds of miles away and you rarely interact with the other school's alums in day-to-day life. At least in the alliance, that would still be possible to build.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/11/25)

      The first 32 or so minutes of the game was the best ball we've played all year considering the opponent. When we were up 20 I was looking at USF's roster and stats to see if they were missing anyone big and they weren't. We looked like the men at Memphis once they started the full court trap though. Ugly finish, but it's another W. Now we've got defending conference champ Rice at home Wednesday night. Come on people, get to the Pit!

      Denton, America ???

      Eh ? Eh ? I haven’t missed a home game this season. I spoke with Rob before the Rice game. “What’s up with the ‘Denton, America?’ I asked.” As I said, he said, “I just read what THEY give me.” No,Teeth. I don’t think I got it backwards.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should stay and build the AAC with other programs who want out? Why? We should be proactive and try to bounce now, to the PAC if possible, with a few other regional members. The argument to me isn't PAC vs AAC today, it's PAC vs AAC in 5 to 10 years if the three you mentioned get their wish and move to the ACC before then. If Tulane, USF, and Memphis move on, we'll be basically be right back in CUSA. Then we'll be crying about how we didn't do anything to get into a better conference or how we've again been left behind.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      If he was so bad at RB why would he start in front of 4 healthy scholarship RB’s? Granted trying to recruit better players is standard for every school in the country. I think UNT signed a couple high school RB’s and one RB from the portal so far. The portal player was a second string RB at Missouri State who was behind a 3rd string RB transfer from K State. No one is saying Porter was Eric Dickerson but he was obviously the best choice according to the coaches and second best was McGill who played well and is younger but he still isn’t on scholarship either. So the “walk on for us” theory doesn’t fit when your best two RB’s were walk on’s. My biggest issue was the fact he wanted to stay. You lose staring QB, best TE,WR and O lineman but your leading rusher wants to stay and you let him walk? Maybe they will find a stud RB but for the 2024 season UNT’s most productive RB’s were both walk ons. What’s that say about the coaches evaluation of scholarship players?

      I thought they only had 5 days after the bowl game to enter.
