90, don't they have the most resources period? I think this article is from last year, but anywho here ya go

Right, while we sit at, what, #11 or #12 in the state?

This would be an upset of monumental proportions. This isn't 1988. The gap (monetarily, talent, and just about any other way you can think of) has increased by multiples of hundreds if not thousands since then.

That said, I will be there. It's close, it's a major stage for college football (which we rarely get to be on), and I have friends there which will make it a fun environment. Plus, who knows, maybe I get to see a major upset never before accomplished by a UNT team.

Well, me and my stepdad are going to be there, but he's a UT alum, and we are going to be sitting on the UT home side, so really all I'm contributing is one really belligerent UNT fan that might get d

Yeah, I dunno. It's the reason why we are still 2nd tier. If fans aren't pushing for results then why in the hell would the administration push for it. It would cost them more money for better coaches

Yes, Texas has more money than North Texas. Thank you for pointing that out. Dollar figures aren't going to be physically playing football on 8/30. If there's one player on our roster that even has do

This is just finances, but a little closer look.

And Rice, TCU, SMU, and Baylor aren't on this list because they are privates, yet all spend way more than UNT on athletics.

So that puts us at #10 in Texas? While UT is #1, spending $119 million dollars more on athletics per year than UNT.

Let that sink in for a moment. $119 million.

With none of it subsidized, which gives the AD more freedom from politics.

This just points out what a monumental upset winning on 08/30 would be.

Really disheartening that Texas St at San Marcos is spending more than UNT on athletics.

They don't. I don't. You don't. A lot of others do. Let 'em. I'd rather spend my summer living life the Mean Green way so I can show up on 8/30 the best fan I can be to support them. I'd rather dream and believe all summer. I know one thing, there will be no let down no matter what happens. I'm going to have an amazing trip to Austin and I will get me meet a lot of people for first time such as the Mean Green Maniac. I'm getting a vibe from Twitter there could be a rather large student contingent going, although some can't afford to but would love to. Looking forward to maybe getting an indication of what we request from UT this week...

Rent a van and pack it with students. They might not have money to get in the stadium, but they can tailgate in green.

Anyone know where those of us who can't go can watch the game in Allen or nearby? Any watch parties?

(I work on Sunday mornings, obviously. I'd be there if it were an 11am game)

PM your current email address to me and I'll get you added back to my distribution list for Collin County UNT events. The address I have for you started kicking back to me a while back.

I have to find a new place to start hosting watching parties. Unfortunately Fairview Down Under closed down. I'd moved away from Rudy's because we were getting too big for the back room and a new manager said they were going to start charging me to guarantee the room.

My top two candidates right now are Allen Wickers and Buffalo Wild Wings, both in Plano. I hosted the Southern Miss game at Allen Wickers last year. Great place but the room doesn't leave much room for growth. The Plano Buffalo Wild Wings interests me because BWW is a UNT restaurant partner and they have both DirecTV and Time Warner Cable. I'm also thinking about Sauced in Allen.

I'll identify a common place for Collin County UNT fans to watch the Texas game and work with the management at the establishment. I won't be able to host it because I'll be at the game in Austin.

More to come.

    1. 72

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      Wayland Baptist (11/7/24)

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
