  1. They were founded in 1991 and were around for about 10 years. The chapter folded when the focus became something other than the mission of the Fraternity (The cultivation of friendship among its members, the acquirement individually of a high degree of mental culture, and the attainment personally of a high standard of morality.)
  2. I just pulled up my Fraternities store ( one of Affinity's clients ) to see products. Seems like I can get about anything I want and some items I didn't know I need. Here is a link. https://phideltstore.merchorders.com/
  3. This e-mail just came through. $8.30 reserved seating in sections 201, 202, 211, and 212. 48 hour flash sale! My guess NIGHT RIDER (all black uniform with silver helmet)
  4. El Paso was just used as an example not an actual option. It is in my opinion one of the worst places to play. However, I feel it would be worth the bad bowl location to get out team reps that will pay off in 2019. It is like getting a whole extra spring ball of training in for the team.
  5. The NCAA rules state As of Jan 17: Postseason: If more than two weeks elapse between the final regular-season or conference championship game and a bowl or postseason game, then allow up to three practices per week of live contact (including two thud); add three days of noncontact or minimal contact practices per week; and ensure the day preceding and after live contact tackling practices should be noncontact or minimal contact. http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/football-practice-guidelines-updated One of the greatest benefits of earning a trip to a bowl game is the additional practices afforded to a team. And contrary to popular belief, bowl practices aren't capped at 15. "(It's) a common misconception that's been around for years," NCAA spokesman Christopher Radford said. "There is no specific limit on the number of practices a team may hold while preparing for a bowl game, but standard NCAA rules apply for participation in practice or other athletically related activities. Same as the regular season, these rules limit practice and other athletic activities to a maximum of four hours per day and 20 hours per week."
  6. To me the opponent and location should be second and third down the list. We want to play in a game as late in the season as possible. It is about practice, yes practice for our 2019 team. Reps matter give me any game after the 21st and I will be happy. A full month of Reps and coaching will help us immensely in 2019! After getting an extra month I want the best team in the best location. I would pass up a better team in New Orleans, Boca Raton, and Frisco to play a week later. Heck if possible I would pick the hell hole of El Paso on New Years eve so I get a few extra weeks of practice. (OK maybe that would be taking it too far, but I would go to any other bowls on that day) At this point the Bowl is a reward for a good year for our seniors and prep for 2019 for everyone else.
  7. Be careful what you expect. I think Texas would love to have 9-10 wins a year since firing Mac Brown for not winning Every. Single. Year. Personally if I could get 8 wins a year and a bowl trip Every. Single. Year. With every 3-4 years winning a Conference Championship, I think I would take it. As would every other school in FBS. I would love to have that type of success. Just for reference the highest winning percentage is NCAA Division I FBS as of the end of the 2017 season is Michigan at .729 (6.83 games per year over the last 1319 games) Boise leads with and average of 8.76 games a year over 605 games. Here is your top 10 Team Won Lost Tied Pct.

No we hit 9 last year and should hit 9 or 10 this year cap is already blown. But if we consistently hit 8 wins a year for the next 5 years, I for one will enjoy the longest success streak that UNT has ever had. I had higher hopes for this year but if we hit 8 this year it will only be the 4th time in history (66-68, 77-78, and 02-03) UNT has hit 8 two years in a row. We have to go back to 66-68 for the only time we did it 3 times in a row. As a coach would I set the goal as "Win a conference championship. Go Undefeated. Win your bowl game. Every. Single. Year." Yes!!! As a fan I have to know that we will not do it Every. Single. Year. Will it suck when we fall short, yes! But it an 8-5 season sucks a heck of a lot less than 1-11!!!!

  8. I respectfully disagree. Looks like a pretty good EAGLE!
  9. If I recall the replicas were not a replica but a green jersey that kind of looked similar so something we had worn in the past... but not really. Here is what is currently available in the team store.
  10. My prediction before the season stands: NT 35 - SoMiss 31 - #Hit6 in a nail biter. Defense wins the game on the last drive
  11. I am honestly shocked that it didn't happen. I know a few coaches that would have been more than ok with 15 yards after that... I am not endorsing it, as it is an jerk move. Just surprised.
  12. And we picked up a million dollar check as well!
  13. 14 total in our group some heading up today, others over the next 2 days. Rented a lake house at Beaver Lake. We are setting up a talegate on Sat. This is the 17th year of this UNT road trip.
  14. Welcome to the board! We need to work on your definition of old though... some of our degrees are old enough to drink at this point.
  15. Watched it live, no more. Enjoyed reading the news on Sunday. No need to look in the rear view mirror at history. I prefer to look out the windshield at what is coming up next. That game and win are in the books it is time to move on!
  16. We lost to SMU 31 - 45. Daniel Meager threw for 601 yards. Most passing touchdowns in a game was 8 against Navy by Giovanni Vizza vs. Navy, in 2007 another loss 62 - 74.

  17. The 3 layer system is composed with a first layer of sand, for a heavy and stable surface. Then, the patented mix of sand and cryogenic SBR (rubber) is used to propose a high stability for the player and the field. The final layer is composed of cork, a 100% natural component, absorbing the heat and shocks. Basically by using cork instead of the black rubber the turf is cooler...and safer.
  18. We had the ball 3 times as long as the ponies. We more than doubled their yards offensively. And held them to 4 yards rushing.
