I'm not saying, nor have I ever, that NT should field a team right now. The football stadium is the most important addition to athletics at this time, and nothing should be done until this facility is funded. What I am saying is baseball should be added at the right time, especially if the choice is baseball or men's soccer. I am a native of Denton, and yes Denton will support baseball. Your concern about funding the program is moot considering Mr. Goldfield has already offered to underwrite the entire program. BTW, he has the cash to back up his offer. Your "blanket statement" regarding "a core of solid fans, "friends of the players" fans and a few, a few local baseball fans...that's it." is baseless and ridiculous. Neither one of us knows how many fans would attend NT baseball games, but I do know that a baseball team and its facilities will draw more fans and bring more revenue than soccer, which would be lucky to have 100 fans and would generate $0.

Truer words were never spoken.

I guarantee you that if the NCAA had the nads to institute this again and again for the likes of OU and Alabama that continue to get caught cheating it would lessen cheating. Every team knows that the NCAA won't do it again, so they aren't worried about it. Kind of like arresting criminals. Stop doing it and nobody is afraid to break the law.

I'll take the "lots of people," they can have Craig.

Seems the thugs from Miami were on a future schedule at one time, and I'm sure UT, OU and LSU will continue their rotation of hosting us.

TastyGreek and KRAM, soccer is a bigger blackhole than baseball ever thought about being. No attendance and horrendous travel over come fair attendance and a regional schedule. Also, please don't use the Outlaws as an example. They've moved playing fields every year and are a bunch of kids that none, or few, of us have ties to. A college baseball team will draw in Denton. If NT softball draws a couple 100 then baseball would attract a couple thousand. Plus, a baseball stadium can be rented out to high school teams for playoff series which would bring teams and fans of both teams to spend their dollars in Denton. Plus, if RV were smart he would hire one of two very successful college coaches that grew up in the Denton city leagues and played for DHS that have strong ties to the community, Tim Tadlock or Skipper Johnson. I appreciate your love of soccer, but it wouldn't draw flies.

Reallly? Oh, and he runs a 5.8 forty. Hope they put him on a strength and conditioning plan (speed and agility based) real soon.

Welcome to the board new2NT. Trust me, we are all thrilled to have Riley at NT.

Answer: or

Not overly impressed with a HS team that loses to the boys from South Park one year and some chick named Jeannette the following.

Let's just be successful and nickname Todge "Papa Todd" and have him hang around Denton like Paterno has Happy Valley.

Green Giant Stadium

Yes, excellent post. I think Vizza will be as advertised and come in here and make us forget about our QB problems. This young man, based on reports, is an extremely hard worker, was efficient in his high school's spread offense and has the ideal size of a D1 QB. Plus, he will continue to grow and mature. If he is the competitor I hope he is, he will welcome the competition and Todge will be nothing but fair. I also think that Riley will redshirt, because of Vizza's ability allowing him time to fill out a little more. Eighteen year old's are far from fully matured physically and he could stand to put on a few more pounds. I also think physically Vizza is more "ready" to play behind a suspect line and take some of the punishment that a D1 QB must be ready to absorb. This is a great situation to be in.

Why isn't Barrett listed?

Separated at birth....Dolph Lundgren?

The first of the above was too disturbing to copy, but this is just damn funny, and will probably come true

I see Quoner changing his name to Vizzoner in the near future.

Thanks for bringing this back to reality.

I know. Makes you wonder if some of the posters on here actually read a thread past the title.

meangreensports.com From the link above, I'd say No.

For only $226,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! SI.com

This should bring back a lot of memories. Mine would be Craig Jones followed closely by Jonas Buckles and Kim Phillips.

I have absolutely no problem with your post above, but calling out a poster as "Mrs. Meager" is ridiculous. You like Woody and Dodge2007 likes Meager. Leave it at that. Personally, I don't care who leads us onto the field as long as they win.

NT Star Hat

I can vouch for you on that one. Ahhh, the good old days. I hope a couple of our DB's step in to the mold of Jones/Buckles. That hit made me hurt. Wonder what Jones is up to these days and if he would like to work under LaCroix?
