Someone tell me again how CUSA is just Sun Belt 2.0

It is. Just better TV, more money, better bowls, more regional opponents, greater press coverage, higher public perception, ...

Other than that and a few more things, it's the same. It's still not the SEC so it must be terrible and we must demand to change conferences.

With all the realignment that has happened in the past couple of years, I think North Texas and the schools that have moved to CUSA are going to benefit the most. The reason why the schools in the Sun Belt were not known was simply because of exposure, and now we have that. If the CUSA can pull off a couple of big upsets this year, then I think we will quickly gain the respect and can position ourselves as an equal to the MWC and AAC. The perception gap is narrowing.

More importantly, I hope the players and coaches are working harder than ever to start the inaugural CUSA season with a bang and make their mark on North Texas' history. The stage is set, how will we perform?

This TV thing for the Mean Green football program is exceeding most all our expectations and much sooner than I thought it would happen!

Anyone missing the Sun Belt now? :)

This is just more for Coach McCarney and staff to build on!

Pretty sure it will be limited to Texas customers of Time Warner Cable only.

Georgia Game will be picked up by Sec/ESPN

Plus TXA21 will most likely pick up 2 games(Idaho/MTSU)

When it's all said and done possibly EVERY game expect Ohio

WOW!

The TXA21 games might be done. The costs were split between UNT and TXA. Just a guess, but the AD may not want to spend the money on them since so many games are already on TV. Again just speculation based on the cost sharing.

would fox college sports come in a basic direct tv package?

I was wondering about Fox Sports 1 as well. As nice as it is to have options, things were so much easier to figure out when your options were "regular TV or cable"!

Well damn I guess I just need to know if I need to upgrade my direct Tv for the fall...anyone?

You'll need to have the sports pack to get FCS.

FS1 will be in all the basic packages.

May depend on carrier. I have FCS on Verizon FIOS without a sports package. It is not in HD though.

Thanks! What about CSS? And CBS College Sports?

I have CBS College Sports, but again not in HD. I cannot find CSS and the website channel search doesn't seem to work right now.

Right, my response was only related to rocket's original question regarding DirecTV.

No CSS, but the game may pop up on one of the Comcast SportsNet channels in the sports pack, but then in that case, blackouts may apply as they did for the Houston game last season. There's really no way to find out if a game is blacked out until game time.

CBSSN is in the Xtra tier and higher.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?
