Who did Webster sign with?

I really wasn't trying to start an arguement here, just wondering if the announcement was ever made. FFR, I too seem to recall RV mentioning in a post on here something about an exciting announcement this spring.

I just don't see the marketing opportunities for North Texas with the Super Bowl unless you are looking for a big corporate type to sink money into an athletic facility at NT. Of course, if we are still looking for the big corporate type in 2011 to kick off our stadium plan, then we will have a problem.

Sorry, couldn't resist

The love of selective memory. TD was hired, as untbowler stated, 2 to 3 weeks prior, and discussions had been taking place. It was well known that TD would be leaving SLC as soon as their season was over.

Actually, Phil Knight bought and paid for Oregon's not Oregon State's.

I never had a beef with Scottie being brutally honest. It was his inability to ever admit NT did anything worthwhile that wore me out. Not one positive post about the basketball team this year, nothing about TD coming in and changing an old worn out attitude, nothing. He came across as bitter all the time, and his constant negativety and disdain for RV was petty.

Things are looking up at NT, thus minimizing the amount of topic choices Scottie can badmouth!

Probably because their are numerous Eagles out there.

I know this isn't popular at NT yet, but how about just going to support your university regardless of who we play?

Pretty interesting closing comment considering not one person posted about being envious of TCU and their coach. I'm sure OU is full of Rhodes Scholars. Big deal if they were signed as non-qualifiers, they were making their grades when they beat your beloved OU, who, BTW, was successful for years with players that didn't attend class, dealt drugs, shot up the campus and got paid for jobs they never performed. Oh, and were coached by the "Bootlegger's Boy" that bent the rules any way he could.

This has been discussed before and is not feasible for various reasons.

This is very true when it opened. Of course, when it opened I was in the 8th grade, and I am now 41!

Waters tied the game on a wild pitch by Brittany Cuevas in the top of the fourth. The All-Sun Belt player recorded the team’s first hit with a single to left field.

Just when I think all the MUTS fans are bad, one jumps up and redeems himself!

If that is the case, then why were the cops called?

Didn't feel like writing a novel. You can beat me over the head with all of your facts and film watching that I don't have time for, but I know what I saw in person or on television and what I listened to on the radio. Poor coaching equaled poor quarterback play.

Supply and demand at its finest. I guess there is our answer to our increase for this year. Add 92 to last year's total and walah!

Kind of like a untplaymaker hurricane warning.

Why in the world did he run out of bounds on the onside kick he recovered?

Really? Then why didn't any of the QB's check out of a running play when the defensive had 8-10 in the box? Why didn't the QB check out of a 3rd and 25 draw play? I could go on and on, but it appears the answers are in the immediate posts above.

In my days at Denton High, the thought of being sent to see Coach Collins was enough to get me to walk the straight and narrow. He was a great man, the same Collins the new DISD stadium is rightfully named after, that everyone respected. Plus, I knew whatever punishment I received at school would be minimal compared to what my parents would do when they found out I got in trouble. There's the problem. Most parents expect the school to raise their children, yet they are the first to yell at the top of their lungs when their child is disciplined. It is ridiculous and the reason I chose not to become a teacher/coach.
