[9/5 Houston Baptist vs North Texas]

I seem to recall some people saying we would run a lot this year. 😉

My points must have really sucked.   They have put me back in the top corner of the wing zone for this season.

 

[We should play TCU this season]

Makes more sense to play TCU than to play Baylor.

[NFL Redskins to change their name?]

Seriously, they could go with "The Washington Hogs"

Or not so seriously, "The Hogettes"

[More Talk of CUSA Demise]

If the SBC and CUSA don't want to reorganize, that's a mistake. 

But, if I were the CUSA commish, this is what I would do:

Invite Ga Southern, App State, ULL, and Ark State. That would give each division 9 teams. Then, I'd only play divisional games in conference play, never anything cross-divisional. That gives each team 8 conference games that are no further than a 2.5 hour flight. For us, we would play UTEP, UTSA, Rice, La Tech, Ark State, ULL, USM, and UAB. Then, you play the CUSA championship game on a neutral site, like the MAC does, say in New Orleans or St. Louis against the Eastern champ.

You get away from 2 games against teams it makes no sense to play in a conference setup, where no fans from your school care about the other division and their fans don't come to your stadium beyond 50 parents or die hard fans. Rivalries are easier to build if you play the same teams every year and they aren't far away.

The more I look at this setup, the more I like it.

+1 for suggesting 9 team divisions - like 2 conferences in one!

This will be a great idea until 10 years after first uses they get their first case of being sued because someone has cancer. Then they will have to pay millions or billions of dollars because initially they thought it was safe to later find out it causes cancer.

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

There was a series on FX that I think ran for three seasons. Season one with Billie Bob Thornton was my favorite. 

I've never watched it, but I knew what you were referring to.  But... ever since @Matt from A700 started this thread, I've had that clip in my mind, and you just gave me the excuse to add it. 😉

Not sure if Justified is available on a streaming service, but it was great.  Also, Fargo was good, especially the first season.

Fargo?

 

[50 shades of green?]

From the daily howtogeek.com email I receive:

Did You Know? Night vision goggles have a green display because the human eye can distinguish between more shades of green than any other color.

...which somewhat explains why it's so difficult to get the right shade of green when buying NT gear...

 

I wonder - if the lights at Apogee were turned off during a night game, what would someone with night vision goggles see? 😀

[NT gear]

and... except for the "Mean Green" in black, all of the text is white, so how the hell did they get it wrong?

Sometime over the last couple of football seasons they were giving away black face and neck covers with white North Texas/SOW logos on them at Apogee, the spandex kind that slips over your whole head. I still have mine and have been wearing it. 

 

That's what I've been using on my once-a-week shopping trips.

[New G-5 Conference for NT?]

I still think the perfect size for football is 9 - you play everyone in the conference, 4 home, 4 away - and 4 non-conference.

[If ya gotta social distance...]

Of course, since you're the Chief of Police of Argyle, if you could get your hands on some fabric with the official UNT tartan, you could supply your entire department.

[If ya gotta social distance...]

If there's enough fabric and people to make masks from it, maybe you could equip all of the student-athletes!

I won't go so far as to say equip the entire Mean Green nation

[COVID-19/ UNT Businesses/ Yes this is semi football related]

Spec's is owned by NT alums Lindy and John Rydman, whose Spec's Charitable Foundation has not only given back to the university, but also has promoted NT in Houston, like when they sponsored the One O'clock Lab Band to play concerts with the Houston Symphony a few years back.
