[LSU VS. UNT GAME POSTPONED NOT CANCELLED!]

UH has Nov. 19 open. Somebody call them.

[LSU Game Postponed?]

NEW ORLEANS (AFP) - Louisiana State University's American football team called off Monday's practice but still planned to open the season by playing host to North Texas State on Saturday at Baton Rouge.

"State"

[Saturday scrimmage?]

DaMN says they may not use Fouts because the goalposts won't be up yet. Does anyone know for sure where the scrimmage will be and what time?

[Fouts Field Turf Project Reaches Final Stages]

What will avg attendance be this year?

What will our OOC record be?

Will we win the conference again?

Can we hang with LSU?

Can we win a conf game if it's the 2nd game of the season?

Answer to all is the same: Depends on what we get out of our QB(s).

[When is the next scrimmage, time & place?]

bump...inquiring minds want to know.

[Where are you staying]

Maybe Bistineau state park if we camp. Otherwise, I'll be looking at Shreveport.

[One person's hat design. I'd wear this,]

I'd wear it, but I wouldn't buy it. Everything should display the new logos/fonts. It can still have just "NT", but with one of the Eagle logos and Mean Green in official font.

[Season Tix]

Anybody know?

[Predictions for LSU]

LSU 48

NT 6

Early season game (we always suck) + good opponent + recent OOC history + inexperienced QB + on the road - The Dynamic Duo = getting the crap beat out of us.

[How Many Out of Conference games ...]

I would love to say 3-1 or 2-2, but I've seen it too much the past few years in OOC play.

As I take off my green tinted glasses, I see them going 1-3.

Losses to LSU and KSU and beat either LaTech or Tulsa. (as much as it hurts to say, the edge goes to LaTech on the road)

Until I see otherwise......................

Exactly the way I see it as well.

[Steve and Barry's Update]

I was in Steve and Barry's last night and all NT shirts were gone. Nothing on the hanging racks and nothing in the little cubbies. If you sell it, they will come!

There's another store at Grapevine Mills with NT stuff...Sports USA or something like that. No apparel, just flags, blankets, chairs, pens, etc. They had the standard folding chair with "North Texas" on the front of the seat back and the helmet on the back of the seat back.

Good to see more places with stuff.

[Master Plan Recommendations]

Along these same lines, I've thought about the following for quite a while.

An 8 (or so) story building to be used for whatever we could get funding for with the top two stories being the press box and suites. Then, the stadium seating would be built butting right up to the building and could be anything, including the erector set variety, because it would be the building that would show externally.

I wish they could do this at the present location by tearing down the west stands, eliminating the track, moving the field close to the east stands and building anew on the west side.

Guess that's completely out of the question now that they are already installing the new surface at Fouts.

[Running backs/fullbacks]

I think we ought to run a few PASSING plays with coobs and thomas in the backfield.. what defense would be looking for the pass with those two in the back?

←

If we don't, we're skewered.

[Where should we sit?]

Come join us in Sec. D, row 28...if you like morgues. You won't be disturbed there. We are right across the aisle from sec. E. We've been trying to get people rowdy around there for years. Still trying... Does anybody know what a critical 3rd down play is? I'll keep sitting there because I don't like sitting down low due to the sightlines.

[A great picture here..]

Recent grads, current and future students are where our future fanbase will come from. Those who have been here through the "RV" years and feel a connection to the program will come back. Nothing short of a surprise invite to the Big 12 will get the "lost" alumni back in substantial numbers.

[This Fall When U Travel 2 Fouts, From What City R]

Coppell. 25 minutes of driving plus 10 minutes sitting through multiple cycles of the light at 121 and 35E. No stops until I get to the Orange lot.

[This Fall When U Travel 2 Fouts, From What City R]

stop at Woodys(beef jerky captial of Texas) in Centerville for sausage sandwich

Stopped at Woody's on Saturday on the way down to H-town to see the Rangers win the only game they've won in recent memory. Got a 1/2 lb. of jerky.

[New Development Section]

I noticed that they list the expected completion of the new FB stadium and track facility as Fall 2009.  Is this a good thing that they are now officially making completion estimates on the stadium?

I know that Fall 2009 is a ways away, but it seems like a good sign that they are now making a prediction on time of completion.

Is that comment a new addition? I hope they have good reason to believe it will be done by then. I think that is as soon as we could have possibly expected. Four more seasons in crappy Fouts...I'll take that.

Oh ye of pocketus deepus, come ye forth!

[NT Apathetic?]

You bet, JD!  Or, give me a location (i.e., Sec E, Row 12, Seat 15) and I will specifically request that my 2 season tickets be near there.

Does this work? The last two years, I have specifically requested high row numbers for the N.O. Bowl, specifically stating that I'd rather have row 40 on the 20 yard line, than row 20 on the 50. They still put us down low.

I sent my renewal form in a while back and requested 4 new seats near my original 2 in sec. D. We'll see.

[Can't believe I'm saying this]

"eagle thru the hula hoop".

Worst logo ever. I'll even take "UNT" over that thing. Hope they put the new eagle (not the head one) on the helmet along with "North Texas".

[Event Staff and Ushers and games?]

but the Fouts ushers can be rough sometimes.

Agreed. We refer to them as the seat-Nazis.

[Class Rings]

What class ring?

[At the Game]

First when I arrived, there was a guy checking the student id's and since I have been a student since the birth of UNT I have an older  style ID, the man proceeds to ask me if it is valid.  I tell him yes it is.  With a smug look on his face, he tells me "uh, yeah right" with quite a tone and then that "I better not be lying because they will be checking next week."  So of course I am slightly pissed and tell him to "scan it now if you don't believe me" to which he replies, "I don't think you would really want me to".  Nice way to enter the game.

This really happened? Unbelievable! Until sellouts are happening on a consistent basis, the AD should be thrilled with every single soul that shows up at the gate. They shouldn't care whether you have a general admission ticket, student ID, section E ticket or a friggin' Chuck E. Cheese ticket. Welcome to Fouts. Enjoy the game.

[At the Game]

Well, I can't let this thread die without putting in my 2 cents.

THE WHOLE SEAT NAZI BS IS A BUNCH OF BS!

This program has not reached the point where we can tell people where to sit, when there are empty seats everywhere, tell people not to bring in water, etc. It should be as little hassle as possible. Someday, I hope, there will be a need for this kind of thing, but it should be phased in gradually and done on an as needed basis.

I don't think we'll see these clowns again this year. As FFR said, there won't be a need.

[Sorry To Start Your Day With This, But]

I shot him ...

Too bad you couldn't just stop there.
