  1. I see billboards up across the Metroplex for the Duck Commander NASCAR race in Ft Worth. It appears they are pushing the Duck COMMANDER name which they own over the Duck Dynasty name that the Discovery Channel owns.

    At least people might talk about the Independence Bowl rather than completely ignore it!

    Duck Commander is the name of their company. Has been since the early 70's.

    You people should try reading up on folks rather than just making fun of them.

  3. We are the home team but ESPN wants us on the visiting sideline because they will be filming from the home side. We will likely be bringing a lot more fans than UNLV. It will make the stadium look more full as the visiting sideline will be in most of the shots.

  4. That can't be good on the turf to scrape that ice off and I would also think it would pull up a lot of the bbs with the ice too. Seems like it would have been a lot better to let it melt.

    With two to three inches of ice on the field, there is no way it was going to melt before the game at 3pm. I'm sure we have buckets of the rubber pellets to replace the ones that may be scooped up with ice removal.

  5. I've been to one bowl game in my life in San Diego and they must certainly sold beer. But this being Texas and whatnot, I'm curious.

    It's a work night anyway so won't be hitting anything hard.

    Cotton Bowl usually sells Beer at the events. There were Beer sales at the Heart of Dallas Classic earlier in the year. I expect the same for our game.

  6. I've often said Coach Mac reminds me of DD. There is one big difference though, Mac understands PR better and puts a lot of effort into being charismatic and handling the media well.

    Good job Coach Mac.

    I think DMAC is the polar opposite of DD. He is media friendly, a great ambassador for the univerisity and has the support of the AD. DD, not so much.

  7. I'm happy with the opponent. We have a great shot at dominating in this game. We will be the only DFW team playing and looking good doing it. I'd rather win the HOD in convincing fashion than get blown out by Michigan or some other traditional power. If that happened then the local coverage would be about how we didn't belong there and the HOD committee should have picked someone else.

    I think our current matchup sets up well for us.

  8. Where do you live/family: Denton Married to another UNT Grad - 3 kids

    Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: 1997 Bachelor of Arts in Technical Theater - should have been class of 1995, but was in no hurry to leave.

    Favorite NT Memory: shooting the flute section of the band with Boomer at a football game in 1993

    Favorite NT Sports Memory: The move to D-1 A football. We worked hard to get the word out and find enough fans to get 15,000 at each game.

  9. Coach Benford does not have the heart and soul of this team like Coach Jones did. I have spoke with several of the players and they still wish Coach Forrest had been hired. He was like a father to these guys. Benford doesn't have that relationship with the team. Jones brought in guys who had troubled pasts or had no father figures. The Old coaching staff filled that void for these guys. Until Benford understands what makes these guys tick, he won't be able to motivate them or bring them together. Rick V hired the wrong guy if he wanted to capitalize on the talent that was already here.
