If you had to choose to win only one game between SMU and UTSA, which would you choose.

This would have no bearing on whether we win any of the other 10, you just have to win one of the above and lose one.

That's a tough one! I woukd still probably rather beat SMU in front of a big crowd to open the season.

Nice to have at least two to choose from. La Tech and USM are quickly gaining ground in the list of teams that I want to make sure we beat each year.

Give me UTSA. We need to squash whatever thoughts they have at establishing a winning streak against us.

I'm go with UTSA, a conference game and last scheduled one of the year and by the way UTSA is probably a better team.

An early season loss to SMU would sting, but not near as much as an important and perhaps very meaningful game at year end.

If we are in the running for the division championship...UTSA. Plus, I don't want to be 0-2 against the upstarts.

If the loss has to be SMU then let the clock run out just as we are trying to position ourselves for the winning field goal and are out of timeouts.

As usual, solid logic. My stance is that beating SMU is going to get us a lot more local notice and publicity early in the season and get our attendance numbers up. Did I mention more notice on the local news?

If I had to pick a guaranteed win and loss, it would be a UTSA win. That probably gets us an 0-2 start, but we can rebound against la tech and Nichols st.

I dont want to be on a roll and lose the very last game. Especially with a shot to play for the cusa ship and knock UTSA out of it. We would also have a shot at a better bowl, and possibly a shot on national TV against a ranked Marshall team for the cusa ship.

If we only have two or three losses, we may also have a shot at being ranked. A loss at the end would hurt rankings.

Bigger picture, UTSA is the better win.

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
