This seems to happen once every football or basketball game.

Not sure how you think I'm being combative. I'm just simply stating that "Mean Green" is the name that represents our school, not "Eagles." I know that the Eagle is on all of our products and I believe it will always be apart of the school's culture (as I said in my previous post...)

Maybe if you would have kept reading my post you would have saw what I think about this.

Look, I know when most people on this board went to UNT we were known as the "Eagles", but that isn't the case anymore. You'll be hard pressed to find any UNT apparel with Eagles on it and they'll only become more rare over time. The eagle will always have it's place in UNT culture (ex. Scrappy, logo, and being in the fight song). However, the name of our athletic teams is the North Texas Mean Green, not North Texas Eagles.

Dude, you proved my point. Our mascot is an eagle, and our school nickname (what your teams go by) is the Mean Green. Our nickname was the eagles, but didn't the school officially change it to the Mean Green in the early 2000's?

Ugh...we're not the eagles.

I'm pretty sure they sell the 9x9 in the union bookstore. They did last year.

No, because in real life when we're on tv "North Texas" will be said by the announcers and most likely on the front of our jerseys. I think people will figure it out

If they broadcasted to an area with a population as large as DFW then yes they would. Like I said before, KNTU broadcasts to DFW, not just Denton. DFW is a pro sports town and one could argue so is Denton with the lack of support UNT receives.

Ugh...that's even worse than Green Lantern

I had high hopes for Green Lantern, but it sucked lol. It seems like Warner Bros can't make a good DC film outside of Gotham City.

KNTU is a metroplex station, not just Denton. While the coverage will be mostly centered around UNT they will cover any sports story that has revelance in DFW.

I heard the same thing too, but it seems like if anything as big as a concert was being planned we would have heard something by now. Hopefully, they can surprise us.

What exactly is there to report about the UNT team right now? I'm sure they probably needed stories to fill time and a couple came up on the wire about UT and OU. I would rather have something about UNT too, but our football team isn't exactly a hotbed for stories during the summer.

So I guess we're getting a movie night instead of the concert we were all hoping for. Oh well...life goes on

I usually agree with Vito on most topics, but I think he's dead wrong on his 3-9 prediction. I haven't read his reasons for the pick in awhile, but I seem to recall that he thinks the loss of a few starters on the o-line, lack of seasoned QB and no Craig Robertson will be too much to overcome. Yes, Derek doesn't have a lot of playing time under his belt, but I think he's shown enough to make us believe he can be a successful QB in the Sun Belt. We did lose some starters from the o-line, but since there were so many injuries everyone starting this year got quality playing time. With the coaching staff we have in place I'm positive we'll win more than 3 games.

Already got a thread about this in the stadium forum.

I'm planning on going. Never been to an away football game. Time to pop that cherry

Sorry, wasn't aware they just hired a staff. In that case, no, don't fire them lol lets see what they can do. I know everyone has been saying how bad the support is for years, but it's depressing to see a number like this that reminds you how bad it is. However, things do look like they're getting better, which is encouraging.

This really shows how pathetic our alumni and Denton support is. Not even 3,000 season tickets sold when we have over 90,000 alumni in DFW and we play in a city with a population around 115,000. I don't know if the AD has a staff dedicated to ticket sales, but if they do they need to be fired and if they don't we need a sales staff.

Haven't seen this posted yet. Dirk tattoo

I think he was half joking, but the place is still the ugliest building on campus along with the GAB, Willis Library, and the Super Pit. I honestly can't wait until they tear down Fouts.

What a jerk...

This summer I'm interning with the Grand Prairie Airhogs who play in the American Association of Independent Baseball. The Ft. Worth Cats are also in the league. Anways, our head ticket guy told me today that one of the teams, which I'm pretty sure is the Shreveport-Bossier Captains might go under and the league is looking for a new team to replace them. I was told that the league is looking at Denton and would try to build a new stadium in conjunction with UNT. I have no idea how legit any of this is, but it's something to keep an eye on.

I agree. I'm kinda disappointed we couldn't get our home opener on tv. I was at least hoping Fox Sports would pick it up. Seems like EVERY college game is on ESPN3 nowadays.
