A truly pathetic home OOC schedule. I am embarrassed for UNT at Benford and Co.'s effort on that schedule.

Iona (NIT) and Creighton (NCAA) both played in the post season and neither will be an easy game. I believe the only post season OOC home game was against SFA last year and they played in the NIT in 2012/2013.

No game is an easy game with Benford as coach.

Creighton no longer has superstar McDermott this season. Iona was 22-11 and lost in the first round of the NIT. They lost their best scorer as well. The D.II and NAIA teams on the home schedule suggest the team (& coach) can't get close to .500 without dumbing down the schedule.

You can have my seats if you want them, I'm no longer interested.

It's all about a respectable record to get him through a fourth year.

It's all about not wanting to pay off a contract.

It's not about winning.

If this is the case then we need another AD as well. Of course I've said this about the Pizza Man for the last nine years. #PizzaManMustGo

Overall it's is actually a pretty decent schedule. The home games are a bit of a diss ointment but Delaware state, Iona, and Creighton should all be good games. It also does not hurt to have 5 straight home games before that very tough 3 game road stretch. Between the away games and the conference games the schedule will be tough.

That's a damn respectable schedule.

The conference schedule is fine. Six of the OOC home games are a joke, and are not respectable for a CUSA program. I am surprised the conference allowed it to be so weak. It reflects poorly on our program. To say otherwise reflects poorly on some of our fanbase.

What makes you so sure we schedule those weak teams? Maybe they schedule us for a easy win? I sat through games last year and we were bad. I remember the SFA game, they had more fans then us and the game was so bad even the SFA fans stop cheering. I didn't buy season tickets this year and will just buy game day tickets if I decide to go to a few games. I don't mind losing (yes I do) but getting pounded is not acceptable. We call a timeout and come out and do nothing different.

if you compare our schedule to our conference mates I would say its very much above average. Obviously we have a below average home schedule, but our road games are killer. All the conference schedules are on ESPN. Go and see for yourself. Yes we still have two division 2 schools and play a few no names, but other schools play very few well known teams as well. LSU appears on a few of their schedules. I do wish we could have found a way to still throw in LSU this season.

I'm sure they'll take all these complaints into consideration and have Florida, Indiana, Arizona, and VCU on the home schedule ASAP.

Na. They are transferring the football scheduling model to basketball. The more you whore yourself, the less you have to do real work, don't ya know.

      UTSA/Memphis game

      Tech spiraled out of control so fast it's hard to pinpoint what exactly could have done better lol... against Memphis, there were just poor coaching decisions coupled with poor execution on those poor decisions. It sucks to look back on because not only do we practically give teams the ball in scoring position but we also blatantly leave points on the field. Memphis comes to mind with the 4th down attempt from our 41 (who does that in 2nd quarter) and the 4th down attempt from their 29 in the 3rd. That's a 10 point swing right there off coaching decisions assuming we make the field goal and the defense gets a stop. Those may seem like tall tasks but that 42 yard Memphis TD was their last score until 33 seconds left in the 3rd and our kicker hasn't missed since the Tech game.

      Goal Post Alert

      In all seriousness, I watched South Carolina roar the field after taking down A&M tonight, and thought, “This is what our fanbase needs.” SMU had apparently not beaten a ranked team at home in like 60 years or something crazy like that! Meanwhile we are poised to beat our second undefeated top 20 ranked team in a span of a few years and when this happens it needs to be celebrated! Who says cool sports things don’t happen in Denton, freaking Texas! Goal posts come down, get marched out and get tossed into the pond or placed on the hill like a trophy! 🏆 how instagrammable! Photos for the Maniacs, Talons and Infantry to use to recruit 2025 members and beyond. I’m all about derailing Army’s quest for the playoffs, because even if Boise loses they ain’t jumping 8 spots and keeping out their Heisman stud running back. Plus we need this win. It’s time to crush another undefeated dream. Most importantly we need a W. For those who think this puts too much pressure on the team to deliver a W against a stout team with a rested quarterback. It’s top level football. There are no guarantees but we all need to be prepared. Talons Up! GMG

      Goal Post Alert

      This is a public service announcement from DATCU Stadium where seismic tremors deep below the surface appear to be sending stress signals to the strong goalposts above. There are reports of Tifos being painted in dorms across campus stating, “Bring Goal Posts Here!” Friday night camping equipment is apparently being washed and packed in preparation for under the stars campfires. There is even a report of the Military coming to town. Be alert. Stay attentive my friends. GMG
