There's a photo somewhere of Booger and his brothers riding horses. He could have been on the Polo team too!

I don't know, but it's not from Gallery Furniture.

NO! While the SOW (diving eagle) was not used on helmets until the Jan 1st 2014 HOD bowl (because of RV), it was introduced in 2005 with the university branding initiative. I tried to use the Wayback Machine to find a UNT branding page from 2005, but apparently none were captured until 2012. But I found a reference to the branding initiative in the Summer 2005 issue of the North Texan (https://northtexan.unt.edu/archives/s05/branding.htm) and two photos with the SOW in the Winter 2006 issue (https://northtexan.unt.edu/archives/w06/index.htm) - one of a student wearing a "I Bleed Green" T-shirt at homecoming 2005, and one of Todd Dodge at his hiring press conference in front of a background with the SOW. So the SOW was introduced in 2005, as I thought. Now, can anyone find a photo of the Australian Air Force using their logo that far back? Edit: If I could figure out how to search for them, I'm sure there are some threads here on GMG from 2005 about the logo, and I bet it started to be referred to as the "SOW" almost right away.

If DD was our coach now, would Diet Coke boy be replaced by Coke Zero boy? Question, no answer.

It doesn't hurt that Rice is adjacent to the Medical Center.

Especially the crypt of John Paul Jones: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Academy_Chapel

Not a road trip for those of us who live down here!

Eppy was... "effy"

I remember being told back when the stadium was being built that the pavilion was intended for the Letterman's association, but they declined, so it was offered to the alumni association. If that's true, then there wouldn't have been anything built for the alumni at all.

"Before that", IDs didn't have a magnetic strip or barcode that could be scanned. 😉

Toasters.

I've been thinking about that... I've never heard anyone say that UH plays in tdECU stadium, but ECU is nowhere near UH, while TCU is just down 35W from NT.

What was Booger Kennedy's height & weight? I think he was under 6'. I'm not making any comparison otherwise...

If the players liked the black jerseys so much, they should have been given those, not the white.

How about a bowling tournament too? That meets the "indoor" requirement, and goes well with beer drinking. 😉 Truth in advertising: I'm neither a golfer or a bowler, and I don't drink much beer...

How did they ever get students to come to football games? It was so far away from the dorms. 😉

Or is it that awful toothpaste green?

Are these different refs than on Tuesday?

It ain't over till the fat lady sings @TheReal_jayD says so.

This is why I thought he was gone already: https://www.ithaca.edu/academics/school-music-theatre-and-dance/faculty-and-staff/new-faculty-2023-24 I would have expected a replacement to have been chosen by now.

I wonder whether the fact that a new Green Brigade director hasn't been named was a factor in not getting a pep band to Las Vegas. The Green Brigade website still names Daniel Cook as the director. 😞
