Hey sport, where did you read that I'm a basketball fan first? To set the record straight, I AM A NORTH TEXAS FAN FIRST! Football has always been my favorite sport, with basketball a close second. Capece?

You might have the board record for downvotes in a single thread..... congrats!

Tulane and UNT were the only AAC schools to lose their starting QBs for the bowl. That's the difference. Mestemaker played a great game. I think a *healthy* Chandler Morris wins the game. That's just me. Mestemaker made great plays for sure but there were also several deep misses early on. Before the Coleman TD, he was 3/8. He found his groove then sputtered some then picked things up again. I hope he stays and I'd love to watch him start next season. On the flip side, we played a 25 year old QB who started all year for Texas State (edit). There's no substitute for experience and continuity. I don't think this loss indicates in any way we're stuck in neutral. I think it shows how well this staff identifies and develops offensive talent. To compete in your bowl, you either need a senior QB, a loyal QB, or to get very lucky like we did with Mestemaker.

MEMPHIS — The UNT men’s basketball team faces No. 21 Memphis on the road Sunday afternoon aiming to earn the program’s first road win over an AP Top 25 opponent since their 79-73 win at No. 15 Louisville on Feb. 27, 1971. Tip-off Sunday from the FedEx Forum is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPN. North Texas (10-3) is coming off a dramatic 78-75 conference opening win over UAB at home on Tuesday. The Mean Green made an 18-point comeback and senior Atin Wright sank a game winning buzzer beater to give UNT’s fourth straight victory. Sunday they face a nationally ranked Tigers (11-3) team that played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country and has beaten three nationally ranked opponents so far and earned the nation’s most quad one and quad two wins. North Texas beat Memphis, 76-66, last season in Denton in their only meeting of the year. Sunday will be the 25th all-time meeting between the two schools but the first time they’ve played in Memphis since 1983. North Texas and Memphis were both in the Missouri Valley Conference together from 1966-74. UNT left the MVC after the 1974 season and went independent.
