2012: Would UNT come to Beaumont?


Recommended Posts

Assuming Todd Dodge is still in Denton, would North Texas travel to Southeast Texas?  More like us going to Denton.......UNT must be financially strapped if they're playing road games at Kansas St. and LSU.  But Riley Dodge will be fun to watch.

North Texas can not travel to Beaumont. Sun Belt rules prohibit schools from traveling to FCS institutions. TexasStud, the whole Sun Belt conference plays two money games a year (a third sometimes, but then again -- they work it out where it's a neutral site like ULM is 'hosting' Arkansas in Little Rock).

Financially strapped?  Not really.  But the extra cash does come it handy.  It allows a program like North Texas to bring well known programs to teh home field.  North Texas will host Kansas State next year in Denton.  Most non-BCS programs play one or two recognized BSC teams for that possible upset, like ULM upsetting Alabama, or Troy beating Oklahoma State.  NT also has a multi game series with Army coming up in a few years.

NT was supposed to play Univ. of Miami (Florida) this season for something like $400,000.  LSU came along and offered NT $850,000.  What would you do?  Tough to pass up.  NT's goal is to only play one "money" game a year like most non-BCS programs.

For Lamar to host a FBS program in Beaumont, they have to come up with some serious money.  I doubt even a North Texas would come to Beaumont for less than $150,000 to $200,000.

Factoid:  Did you know that North Texas hosted Florida State in Denton back in 1974 I believe.  NT lost by one point in six inches of snow!

I certainly wasn't dissin' UNT, so relax and get off the soapbox.  The secondary will not get shredded this season, hopefully.

No soapbox here.  And I did not take your question as "dissin" North Texas.  Heck, I wish they would come to Beaumont.  At least I wouldn't have to travel 700 miles RT to see them play. ;D

Peace, my friend.

If you guys haven't checked out www.anygivensaturday.com please do. Texas Terror likes to post everything from the LU board on there for the entire FCS world to see. There is great info about the subdivision and what's going on in the entire FCS world. Frankly, I'm tired of trying to keep the positive spin on LU there. A little help.

I post everything from every SLC board -- from transfer information, to facility upgrades and more. AGS is a community, the best FCS community on the net and the poll -- the AGS Poll -- does a better job than any other poll, Sports Network, Coaches, etc because we are a well-informed group of individuals from a cross-section of the country.

Both positive and negative remarks...just as you'd come to expect on this board. Lots of news articles posted (when HouTexan does not beat me to it), talk about the expansion of the SLC, coaches, facilities, recruiting, etc.

When you guys are starting to pay attention to FCS when the Cards on the gridiron, you'll understand...

The College Sporting News/Any Given Saturday partnership does a lot more good for FCS than you'd imagine. The AGS top 25 poll even gets in press releases and the preseason poll makes it into media guides. A fan message board with a top 25 poll doing that? Yep -- and it's a more accurate and fare assessor than Sports Network (media), SME (broadcasters) and CCA (coaches) and has been proven as such year and year again.

    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big time…..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped 🤷🏾‍♂️ we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though. 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week we’ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.    That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosby’s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosby’s TE Landen Hammer is 6’2” and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesn’t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that we’ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we “don’t have the receiving talent that we used to.” Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldn’t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model don’t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids. 
    • Big girl is trying to make Oprah sound like Bam Morris, who was busted with 220# of weed in the trunk of his car. When the cops opened the truck and found the weed, Bam said,”That’s not mine”. Give me a break.
    • Aggies with the “brunch” game today. I think Missouri will be a tough matchup. Playing at Kyle may have an effect.
