Is that blood?

Come see the new Mean Green Stadium designed by Salvador Dali!!!

I'm a big UT fan - certainly not a hater like some on here, but their truck is horrible. I'm surprised you can't see a partially painted-over "Big Al's Moving" down the side. All of the other Big 12 ones are great except for Missouri which is kinda' plain. Nebraska's even got a painted helicopter!

It's easier now that we have an equal commitment from UNT. I've wanted to wear UNT gear in public, to work, etc. forever, but it just wasn't worth the agony. It wasn't so much ridicule, as it was the questions/comments like, "Don't you guys have that high school coach?", "Ya'll are Division II, right?", etc. The facilities will be a BIG help in this area. I expect to get more comments like, "Yeah, I drove through Denton a few weeks ago and man that stadjum looks great!" Andi if not, I can still say to those who question our status with, "Have you seen the new stadjum?". Bottom line though, is W-Ls. If coach Mac gets us winning again, along with the other positives, it'll be tons easier to chat up UNT.

What exactly is the priority parking pass? I've always parked in the free lots, so don't know much about the parking situation, but I'm more interested now that it's across the highway.

I hear there's going to be a pretty cool place to watch about half of the FB games just up the road, right where I-35 splits into I-35E and I-35W!! Seriously, keep us updated on the status. Hopefully, you can get something setup in time to catch the Mean Green on TV during our next March Madness appearance in a couple of months.

I watched it on TV. Does that count?

Yeah, has too much of a Michigan look to it.

I think I didn't like the interlocking logo because of the star. Anybody want to give it a try with one of the SOW's? The smaller one might work better for this.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking and why I thought maybe it would be better if a little smaller.

Also, while I like the new eagle (SOW-2??), I think it's too small for a helmet. I still like the one on Smitty's (is that SOW-1??) better, but I think it needs to be a little smaller, maybe halfway between the size of the two.

I'm always in support of the darker green over light, but that "Worm" helmet is great and gives us a really unique look, i.e. the true definition of ICONIC. For me, WormHelmet=McDonalds=NorthTexas. I grew up in a small town (<1000) in the mid-70s and Fouts field was pretty much the biggest structure that I regularly saw. As a kid, driving past Fouts and sometimes getting to stop in at McDonalds to see the "helmet lights" was a treat.

Loved when he called "Touchdown!!" on about the 10 yard line on O's play that didn't make it into the endzone. In fact, they didn't even score on the drive.

Ugghh!!! HATE the logo. But love the color.

And even though it's not on ABC, we still have to listen to MouseBurger. All they need to do is hire Siragusa away from Fox and add him to the game, then I'd probably shoot out the speakers on my TV.

When I talked to them last week they said there was not an area designated for the LA members but that 204 was where many are sitting.

Good choice. I never heard any positive results from the search, so I assume Ray won't be an option.

Todd Dodge - with the whole stadium chasing after him. Pitchforks and torches are optional.

How about the USF green? Looking at the USF game now - I like their green jersey color. Everybody says that dark green doesn't show up well on TV, but I think theirs looks good.

He sure *looks* like a line coach. Hope this works out.

I agree that the OP's video is one of the best I've seen. However, given that the new stadium's audio system should be a major improvement over the HORRIBLE audio system at Fouts, they could could play a station test pattern/tone and it would be tons better than anything we've experienced in the past 20 years. I'm embarrassed every time I hear the over-driven, distorted audio intro played. Sounds like a teenager's $40 car stereo for the 80's cranked up to 11. Luckily the embarrassment of the audio was offset by the impressive video presentation of some random, stuck graphics pattern on the small scoreboard. /sarc

All of the points are valid, but I'm sure that Fouts Field went a LONG way in discouraging many recruits from coming here. Hopefully that is behind us now. I have been told that many times recruits have been excited during their trips and liked the facilities, but when they visited Fouts, the excitement drained from their faces. I'm sure growing up in Denton and seeing the dump their whole life made UNT a non-starter for many local players long before they were ever recruited.

Aaarrgghhh!!!! What is SOW??? I've seen this referenced on the board forever and the only thing that comes to me is "Silver on White", but I'm sure that's not what it means. Maybe "Screaming Ol' Whatsits" "Sloth of Waco" "Streaking on Wednesday" "Save our Wombats" ????????

What's worse is that it's full of Aggies!

It's bad enough that the GREEN BRIGADE is dressed in nearly all black. We don't need the MEAN GREEN to be wearing all black. Imagine the cheers... East: "MEAN!!!" West" "BLACK with a little green accent!!!!" East: "MEAN!!!" West" "BLACK with a little green accent!!!!"
