Thank you Rick for your hard work. The University of North Texas is better for your dedication to a great tradition.

I went to a movie last night and saw several previews and 2 of the previews were "The Green Hornet" and "Green Lantern." Does the release of these 2 movies portend a great season for the Mean Green in 2011?

How about the "Waterless Urinal Bowl"?

We weren't going to win this game. We rely to much on players we want to be play makers but are not.
Dodge needs to stay a receiver.
The line needs to protect more.
Special teams needs to realize that "Special" does not mean they need to make dumb plays.
And if everyone is saying that our team is beat up with injuries. ITS THE SECOND GAME OF THE SEASON
FIRE the strength and condition coach.
Nothing positive came from this game.

Deep dark depression, excessive misery-y!
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!
Gloom, despair and agony on me-e-e!"

How about "Mean Green space"?

Nebraska's spring game attendance for the past several years are below.
I rounded the numbers to the nearest thousand. If memory serves, Nebraska
has charged a nominal amount for entrance with kids getting in for free if
they pledge not to do drugs.
2009 - 77000
2008 - 80000
2007 - 54000
2006 - 58000
2005 - 63000
2004 - 61000

Visiting teams and non-season ticket holders should get those seats.
And no, it's not the way it works... typically schools give the students a large section and it is close to the field. They aren't the best seats, in fact for the big schools they are usually end zone or the 10-yard to 30-yard line section, but they usually don't get a nosebleed getting to their seats.
First, I am a fan of UNT but I am an alumni of the University of Nebraska. That said, let's compare.
UNT gives students really great seats at Fouts (relatively speaking). It has been stated that there are 100,000 UNT alumni in the metroplex. They probably had the opportunity to sit in some of those seats as students. Where are they on gameday? Fouts should be stuffed to the gills.
NU sells (does not give) seats to the students. They are not the greatest seats but the students pay for their seats. NU has sold out every game at Memorial Stadium since 1962. The stadium now seats 82,000 which is almost the total attendance for UNT for an entire season. For a 7 game season that's over a half a million fans. That is 574,000 paying customers, and some of those fans are willing to pay a seat license to buy their tickets. Yet the students do not have to pay a seat license and do pay a much reduced ticket price. Although I have not done a study on student seating and prices for all universities, I don't think NU is out of line on where the students sit and the cost of a student ticket.
As UNT's football team improves and attendance increases, UNT students probably will have to pay for their ticket and will lose the 50 yard line seating. Such is the price of success. Welcome to the world of collegiate football.

Osborne said one reason for the change was because students have a tendency to stand on their seats throughout the game, and it wasn't fair for the season ticket holders who sat behind them.
Maybe those ticket holders should stand up, then.
But seriously, I think this is BS. In terms of money, I'm sure it won't matter because even if generations of students are given the shaft, there are more than enough random non-school affiliated fans who will pay for those seats anyways. Ethically, and in terms of PR, I think this is a huge mistake.
As an alumni of the University of Nebraska and who attended every NU game as a student and attended many NU bowl games (in particular 2 Orange bowls where National Championships were won) I can speak to some of this controversy. Student leaders were consulted before the change was made and although I have not heard what their input was, this decision was not made without listening to the student representatives. The seating referenced in the article is in the south end zone (southeast section) and is usually sold to freshman and sophomores and late applying (for football tickets) upper classmen. Another article on this subject also mentions that there is seating sold to the students (upper classmen) in the east stadium. That seating is unaffected by the change. The students seating is moving further back up in the stands and those ticket holders in that area are moving down. In terms of public relations, in Nebraska (having been born and raised in Lincoln) this probably will turn out to be a non-event after a very short discussion. Ethically, as far as this being a huge mistake, student seating has been moved around before without the wheels coming off.
