UNLV fan/alum here.

From reading all of the stories on our upcoming bowl matchup it seems that neither of our schools are getting much respect. I know the Mean Green have struggled over the past few years and like us are enjoying their best season in years. Although UNLV fans don't know much about the North Texas Mean Green don't think that we don't respect you. At this point we are happy that our team was able to win 7 games this year and become bowl eligible for the first time since 2000.

I really hope this turns out to be a thrilling game that draws the attention of the nation. Maybe something like a UNLV win 132 to 131 in 8 OT.

I know we will be outnumbered fan wise but we may be bringing more fans than people expect. I have my flight, hotel, and car rental booked as do a lot of my friends. Here's to a good game and a fun atmosphere as we both continue to build our programs. UNLV football gets ignored often but since our basketball team is struggling we are going to have to try to enjoy football a little more this season.

I like your fan base from what I've seen on this board. Didn't expect 10 replies within a 30 minute span and there wasn't any spam talking. Maybe North Texas has the best fan base in Texas?

Protip: If you're from Vegas, don't even think about falling for the billboards advertising "casinos" in Oklahoma. Just...no...Just don't do it.

Oh: and from a displaced Best Coaster, welcome to DFW. Dallas has some decent places to entertain.

(And...pssst...for the love of all things, can I stow away in your carryon on your return flight? It's been six years since I've been to Vegas, and the itch is insatiable!)

chitownrebel, reverse that score and then it will be just fine! :)

Should be a fun game for all. Don' think we should put much stock into what "1" ESPN online rag reporter says anyhow.

He probably thinks we still have Indian depridations and ranch massacres a-goin' on down here in Texas anyhow.

GMG!

I hope Mike Napoli is there. I'd like his autograph.

I hope Matt Treanor is there. I'd like his wife.

No way you guys score 100 on us. Basketball maybe, but not football. Our defense likes to eat ball carriers for lunch.

Welcome to DFW, prepare for cold. New Year's day can be mild or colder than the other side of my pillow.

I've been to the Dallas area before. A few years ago I came out to watch my White Sox play 3 games in Arlington including a day game in 103 degree heat with a 79 dew point. I stayed right by six flags over Texas and had a good time.

For the game I am flying in the 31st and out the 1st after the game because I have to get back to coach my basketball team. Won't have much time for anything other than the game itself....my favorite place in Texas is the steakhouse in Amarillo where I proudly finished the 4.5 lb steak in under an hour

Well I think Agfans and Shaggybevo have pretty good online showings but I would venture to say that our message board is easily the best in CUSA. Now if only we could get that to translate to attendance.

Pfft. Who do you think we are? UT San Antonio?

That is an accomplishment. I considered it...once. Looked at the life size model of it, and ordered a regular steak that I gladly paid for.

If you're a history fan, you need to make time for the 6th Floor Museum.

You need to eat BBQ brisket & Tex-Mex somewhere. I'm sure the guys on here can chime in with where to eat. Everyone has their favorites. I like Mike Andersons for bbq brisket & Mia's for Tex-Mex.

Well done! I've lived in Texas nearly all my life and that place ranks right up there with me, too! That was a regular stop on the way to the Colorado mountains for ski trips, growing up.

Ugh. Can you please take your homosexual agenda somewhere else?!

PS: That's a joke. Don't PM me.

PPS: Welcome aboard UNLV fan. I have found we treat anyone who comes on here like you treat us. If you are kind and complementary, so are we, if you are a jerk we will unleash mutually assured jerk-ageddon.

Chitownrebel i am pretty sure this is a question most on this board would like to hear answered from a UNLV supporter.

in 10 words or less give us your opinion of President Smatresk!

Well compared to the President before him [Carol Harter] (the woman that fired Coach Tark) President Smatresk was a god!

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
