The guy posting on the San Antonio site uses the name dmccarney - but you follow the links, you'll see that his first post is dated 07/21/10 - go figure. The Hawaii Star Advertiser story mentions that Lamar just restarted football in 2010 after 20 years, but doesn't mention that UTSA still hasn't played a game. Does UTSA really expect to play I-A football in 2012?

Wow, the Dodge era is truly over. I'm a bit disappointed, but it's understandable. It's hard to tell if he was told he won't be allowed to compete for the starting QB job, or he just wants a fresh start regardless. I thank him for all he gave to NT - especially for his effort after his dad was let go - and wish him success (unless he goes to an FBS school we play) and good health. If I remember correctly, he graduated HS a semester early and started at NT in the spring in order to participate in spring practices. If that's the case, then he may be close to getting his degree, especially if he took any AP classes in HS and/or summer classes at NT. Maybe he is only transferring as far as football is concerned, but actually applying for grad school? Then again, maybe TD is interviewing for a HC job at FCS schools...

He likely read the articles in the Houston Chronicle. My link

I've never heard the McAdow arrangement of our fight song, so I can't either disagree or agree that the Winslow arrangement (which is what is currently played) is "dumbed down". Was the McAdow band ever recorded? I would love to hear it. The only comment I can make about the current arrangement is that by playing it two times through, it's too long to play after a touchdown - and none of the band directors (Winslow, Fisher, Williams) have come up with an acceptable solution. They've tried playing a fanfare after the touchdown and waiting until after the extra point to play the fight song - but what if the kick is missed? Do you still play it? They've tried playing it one time through, and waiting until after the extra point to play it the second time - once again, what if the kick is missed - or, what if there's a timeout or a delay due to a penalty? The silence after the U-N-T Eagles chant can be pretty awkward.

Thanks! I haven't subscribed to the Chronicle for years - I would have missed it. I'll have to go out and buy a copy today. It is surprising that the story is today, not when we played Rice, TSU, or SHSU.

In 1981, we did the Apollo command module "flying" down the field during our show at UT. Bob Winslow got whoever did the FB team game film to also film our show for us, and we got to see it the next week - it looked pretty cool. The Halloween show a couple of years ago, where the whole band did the dance from "Thriller", was fun.

That is pretty cool! It looks like Squidward

I may not be from Missouri, but you'll have to "show me" . BTW, Merry Christmas to Kathy Gorman from the AD.

Even UT went back to artificial turf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Memorial_Stadium

Just got off the phone with SRO - no go.

TSU won the SWAC this year and had a 9-3 record. Yes, they lost to UConn 62-3, but I wouldn't assume an easy win.

Not according to this page: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/schedule.

That's the only one left.

I called SRO Sports Bar in Houston, who hosts game-watching parties for lots of different schools' alumni groups, and who seems to know more about college sports scheduling on cable & satellite than anyone else. They have the Full Court package, and while the game is listed on the schedule they received yesterday, it doesn't have a channel number, which seems to indicate that ESPN is waiting for someone to pick up the game so that ESPN can get the feed. In other words, the game isn't on Full Court - at least in Houston. I was told to call back around 5:30 to see if they had received an update to the schedule. I'm not optimistic that anything will change.

I've called both the Ragin Cajun and Buffalo Wild Wings in Sugar Land, neither gets the Full Court package.

Booger for the NT Hall of Fame!

I'm in Sugar Land, and I have DISH. I don't see the game anywhere on the guide, and I don't see ch. 421, even when I select all channels. I (and possibly some others) will join you if you find a place showing the game. If not, but if the game is available on channelsurfing, or if you have a Mean Green Premium account, I have a PC with a component video card connected to my big screen (65" rear projection - not exactly state-of-the-art, but...). I just have to get home from work before 7. Send me a PM with a way to contact you.

Even Columbia has a football team!
