  1. I've been wondering about that myself.
  2. Also, it appears we're getting Mean Green in the near endzone and North Texas in the far endzone.
  3. The Eagle ... (or at least the eagle template they're using to cut out space for the center field logo) ... is at mid field!
  4. I can't see that happening but if it did ... I'd rather not think about it.
  5. They'll get hit hard just like Auburn ... oh, wait. Nevermind.
  6. That's too close in my opinion. You're begging for a confrontation between fans and players.
  7. They would have to place the track around the entire stadium instead of just the plaing field.
  8. It that black border staying around the playing field? If it's is I wonder if it's the same material but just a different color. Or is it a different material made to take more wear and tear? Or perhaps it's something that's only temporary for the installation? Anyone know?
  9. Hmm ... skew is the word. We'll know for sure when they finish laying the turf. From the webcam it does look like the visitor side is deeper but your photos make them look about the same.
  10. Turf is going in very fast. They have the entire playing field and the the home sideline laid. All that's left is laying down the visitor side and then connecting them all together.
  11. You're taking a very narrow view of things. The new stadium doesn't get passed if the athletic department isn't involved. You also leave out the entire Eagle Point complex ... the new women's facilities, new tennis facility, etc. Don't forget that when Rick got here the floor of the Super Pit hadn't been replaced in a very long time. I wasn't around in '77 but I've heard horror stories about how bad the athletic department was.
  12. Awesom ... what a minute! There's no mid-field logo! THEY PROMISED US A MID-FIELD LOGO!!! /end overreaction
  13. I do to but most places I've seen with short distances have padding on the walls. The brick looks so good it would be ashame to cover it with padding and it doesn't appear they are going to do that but I don't know.
  14. There doesn't seem to be much space behind the far goal post and the wall behind it. Has anyone been out there to see how much space there actually is? If they don't put padding on the brick wall it could lead to some sudden, painful stops on long passing plays.
  15. McCarney likes the old school rocks instead of new fangled turf or grass.
  16. I just noticed the goal posts are in. At 12:58 you can see the far goal post half way up. At 2:53 you see the near goal post half way up.
  17. I agree that is was a good report. My only comment is that we did use the tightend a lot more than previously.
  18. After seeing the pictures on MeanGreenSports.com I am offically jealous! If they do this again next year I may have to fly in for one of the events.
  19. Best: The Navy game. Yeah, we lost but it was an amazing game. Add in the flyover ... the Navy fans ... my wife attending her first NT game ... it had everything except for the win. Worst: It was a game from the Dennis Parker error (era). It may have been a homecoming game. With just a few seconds left in the game we tie it up. Suppose we were to try an onsides kick. We would only have time for maybe one play try to move 30 yards into field goal range while if the opponent recovered they would almost be in field goal range already. Certainly anyone with a brain could realize that trying an onside kick at this point would be a horrible decision. Oh ... wait ... Dennis Parker is the head coach. Sure enough, onside kick ... opponent recovers ... one play later they kick the game winning field goal. After the game the players should have hoisted Dennis Parker onto their shoulders, carried him up the bleachers, and thrown him over the top rail.
  20. Is calling someone retarded still a thing that's done? I don't recall hearing it used negatively since maybe middle school - some 25 years ago.
  21. There's a lot of ways Fouts was lacking as a D1 stadium. The mid-field logo was only one of them.
