  1. The small board was showing that this "stadium is a non-smoking building", but the picture Friday afternoon was beautiful. I asked, when I was in the ath building, & was told the small board will be a stat board with the possibility of showing additional highlights during the game. The ath dept gets the keys to the stadium next Friday {;-) !

    RV was talking behind closed doors with a prospective track coach (no name given) Friday afternoon.

    Awesome post! RV gets the keys on Friday! Also, the rumored demise of the track program seem to be incorrect.

  2. I'm sorry but the La. Tech president is right. Conference membership has to do with academics - not just athletics. The Sunbelt has some miserable qacademic institutions. UNT should not be associated with ULM, MTSU, or Troy. UNT must find a conference home that doesn't reflect badly on our university.

    I was wondering about this. How does one judge the academic qualification of ULM, MTSU, or Troy? How does one quantify their supposedly "sub-standard" standing? I really interested to know.

  3. A little before 2:00 PM, today, the stadium webcam showed testing of the small video board. I can't wait for opening day.

    I think they're playing Halo.

    Speaking of which ... I'm the project manager for my organization's new building which will be completed in September. We're putting in $65k worth of AV equipment in our main conference room. The IT and the Media guys testing plans will include using an XBox 360 and a PS3. Did I mention that I'm also the Director of IT? :)

  4. Why is "Texas" smaller than "North"?

    Never noticed it before, but it caught my eye this time. It's like they ran out of the right sized letters and had to use the next biggest ones they could find.

    After looking at it more I guess they actually are the same size, but the "Texas" is more scrunched together.

    I agree that it appears "Texas" has letters that flow into one another while "North" doesn't.

  5. What Barry Switzer used to say about option: "If it's blocked perfectly, the man with the ball only has the Monster Man (safety or inside lb, depending on the defense) to beat on the way to the end zone."

    Honestly, it was a nice run but not much of a block by the fullback on the second clip. He just kinda got in the way. Effective, but anyone could make that block.

  6. I was wondering the same thing. If it's not grades related, and he can solve his behavior and apologize to the team, could he be brought back?

    For the school to pull his scholorship I think it will take a lot more than an apology to the team. If he really wants to come back it will be a long hill to climb.

  7. Incoming Freshman will ALL, to my knowledge, be attending the next summer session. I believe this will allow them to start working out as part of the summer program and get almost a month of conditioning under their belt before two-a-days start.

    This is great! Besides the extra conditioning they can get accustomed to campus and college classes - maybe be able to take a bit of a lighter load that first semester.

  8. Anyone know if this might be grade-related? At the Plano Caravan, McCarney mentioned that there were 40 when he arrived with GPAs of less than 2.0, but that 37 had pulled there grades up in the spring. He said the other three were awaiting grades. Maybe this is one of the other three.

    Really? 40 below 2.0??? No wonder McCarney talked about how bad things were grade wise. You may be right that the upheaval during the football season allowed guys to slip in the classroom.

    If it is grades then hopefully Carey can straighten things out and come back next season.
