Kick-off return.

This schedule just plain sucks.
In the first 5 weeks of the season, we get 1 home game.
Season ticket holders really got the shaft on this one. 5 home games on a 12 game schedule, one of which is on a busy (travel) holiday weekend.
1 of the 5 home games is against a D1-AA team. I know they will be in the confrence in 2009, but I feel very let down.
TD wants this to be the metroplex's team, but I don't see a whole lot here that will get people excited about buying a ticket.
Playing teams like Florida Atlantic and Florida International feeds the fire of those who think the Sun Belt is a joke. Most people around here have never heard of those schools. Many people (Not familiar with the Sun Belt or from Florida) equate FAU and FIU to the University of Pheonix.
It's going to be hard to get new fans to the games when our home schedule is so pathetic.

You mean Hank DICKERSON, assistant AD and AD "waiting in the wings"!
It's Dickenson. Check the UNT website if you don't belive.

Didn't you start a thread a week or two ago about the stadium plan being a hoax?
I believe he did. Amazing how things change.

Police said the bottle was sent to the Miami-Dade County crime lab.
So.... Horatio Cain is going to get to bust Michael Vick. - Interesting...

Those looks awesome! And as far as the black goes, I think it looks the best. I don't understand why everyone is so opposed to black? Forget about what DD did.
The black makes your players look small. It's also very hot in warm weather.

I hope they both get a chance to read this. They need to know how much we appreciate them. I also hope they know that GMG is not just a place that is critical of everything they do. I hope they realize the GMG is their biggest fans as well.

maybe he will be kicked off the team and transfer to NT
Maybe the DRC can run a front page picture of him in a Mean Green uniform and start all sort of speculation.

I think it is smart to bring coaches that TD knows and trusts. Think about this as well: If you are coming from another college program, you are probably taking a pay cut to come here and doing TD a favor. If you are coming from the HS ranks, you are getting a promotion and a pay raise. It helps the overall mentality of the team if the coaches are excited to be here and honestly want to be at NT. TD is not going to bring anyone here that he belives cant contribute and translate his efforts into wins.

Why do we even get into the verbal "barbs" with these SMU pricks? The only thing that matters is what happens on the FB field. When we go to Ford Stadium this year and punch them right in their arrogant mouths in their own house next year, it will be settled. They will, again, refuse to schedule us for another ten years and use the weak argument that they have nothing to gain by playing us.
We beat them on the field and it makes the recruiting argument moot. FB players want to win.
Look at the major FB schools out there....can anyone really tell me how great their degree programs are? No, we just know that they are great FB schools and get a lot of praise and pub. A good athletic program builds value in all degrees because of overall school recognition. A winning program and tradition increases the value of all of our degrees from NT.

Hey mean green freak can you get me a Krazr
Actually disregard that
I hate when people find out I am in insurance an they ask if I can hook them up. I lose all life force trying to explain there is more to insurance than auto
I hope you don't live in Denton. I could get you a KRZR but it wouldn't work worth a darn. I can't even get a cell signal at my house. I broker very large deals with very large customers, but have to go somewhere other than my office at home to do it because my phone doesn't work there. Not a good sales pitch when you drop a call on the very product you are trying to sell.

When I was on campus (1990-1997) and involved with the Talons, we explored this. At the time we were trying to better the game experience any way possible. We were in the midst of the move back to D1-A. 15,000 fans in attendance was a lofty goal at the time. Helwig even did some research for us on this issue. Here were the problems.
-The cost of mainatining an eagle was very high. Housing, training and keeping the darn thing alive was going to cost a ton.
-Bald Eagles were out of the question because of their protected status. We would have to hire a certified "bird man" to make sure the Bald Eagle was never in danger.
-Other Eagles seem to have less alure.
-We couldn't some up with a humane way to make the Eagle green.
Seriuosly, we did look a this idea. The plan was to have it on display near the Student Union during the week and at Fouts during the games. However, the price tag associated with it was prohibitive.
Our only hope was to "loan" one from a zoo or other "bird dealer" during the games and it never happened so the idea was dropped.

BTW - My degree from NT was in Theater......Go Figure.

IMHO, that is awful!
That Helmet reminds me of the days in the Big West...and Craig Helwig. Yuck.

The best way to shut them up is to win when it counts.
If we lose, then perhaps they are right.
The burden is on us to prove our worth.
Very well stated.
No matter how much we dislike it, Travis is right. OC wins elevate the value of our confrence.

Well, I guess my wits have finally met their match.
Yeah, your probably right. I'm a high school drop out who works on cars for a living. You really really got me there. Thanks for being my equal. Can I call you friend now?

again!
And people wonder why everyone in Dallas hates Houston.....

The Jostens location on the South end of town near I35 and State School Rd. can get you all set-up. I have gone there a couple of times to drop my Class Ring off for repairs and cleaning.
-
yeah thats it. Im DD. I moved to Houston in the wake of my firing to be with Mattress Mac.
The guy is gone. Give it a rest. Why beat his name into the ground? Everyone (myself included) got their wish. We get the joke. The offense he had was like a Buick. Black shirts=black paint. Pimp my ride, makeover of coaching style.
You are quite the comedian!
Sounds like you should go take your Prozac. I seems you lost your sense of humor and are in a bad mood.
Sorry your having such a rough day.
If you don't like fun banter about the past, present and future of NT sports...your in the wrong place.
-
classy.
Classy...hmm...you must be one of them.
-
The demad for a used Buick with a solid black paint job is not high.
You might get a better deal at auction or selling it for scrap iron.
My guess is that the old Buick might be worth more as a Pimp my ride candidate.

Is that George Gunham standing in the back left with the tan jacket and black shirt?
-
I thought that was Maher. I wasn't sure that he would fly in from Jonseboro so I was hesitant. He looks great. Mitch is a class act and a great man. I had no clue on Redwine. Makes sense that TD mentioned them at the press confrence.
BTW - its cool having a coach with the initials TD. Seems like the whole point of football - getting TD's.
TD (like touchdown) sounds a lot better than DD (like deputy dog).

We have to beat Arky St. before we can go dancing. Let's not start looking past the game tonight.
