So, if this has been brought up before, I apologize. BUT, if feel like this is important enough to restate anyways.

My wife was asking me to delete some of my dvr'ed stuff...that meant the pre-game UNT 21 show for the Cajun Football game. So, I sat and watched it before I was about to delete it and make the wife happy again...

Rick V and Tony B were interviewed, and the topic of scheduling for basketball came up. One or both of them said that it was "hard to get a game" with schools this year.

We all know that SMU has been ducking UNT for years cause they didn't want to get their heads kicked in on the court... So, its a given that they are just a big(wait handfull considering what moody's looks like) old bunch of pink polo wearing P's... But, nobody outside of UTA would play UNT this year in state? Nobody? No Texas Tech? No Texas? No Houston? TCU? even Oklahoma State? Really?

I heard a rumor that Texas last year made sure they moved the game with us forward in the season as to make double sure that Tony Mitchell wasn't eligible yet to play.

I'm sorry, but ALL YOU OTHER SCHOOLS ARE A BUNCH OF P'S....and of course p stands for pansies.

Carry on. Can't wait for Basketball Season! See you at the Super Pit!

Go Mean Green!

It's the first year with real talent that takes a toll on scheduling. The other schools all know we have a lot of talent. The problem is that we have not made the national splash that I think we will. Once we are ranked and make it to the big dance again, the other teams will be more likely to schedule us. They want their RPI up, just like all schools, and playing us will help them. It will not be such a disaster for them to lose to 'little ole North Texas' if we have good track record from this coming season. Of course, SMU, TCU will not play us, as they can't stand the stigma of losing to us in the metroplex scramble for attention.

You call out schools for being P's while being one yourself?

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should always try and improve our position when it comes to conference affiliation and over the last few years we have. Sunbelt....Conference USA and now the AAC. We are getting about as high as we can get without being in a P4 conference. Without the right schools the "new" PAC is not the right direction, literally (west) I for one do not want to be in the Big West 2.0. Winning games will be the best way to enhance our position. More money and exposure would be good but the PAC does not even have a media contract.

      It's all leading up to the university's renaming. We're going to be the University of North America.
