On that, we agree. I mention the SOW because it is now a part of our official branding. I prefer the interlocking Exes NT also, but it's just not going to happen. How unfortunate. I just believe SOW is better than the name plastered across the helmet.

Very little difference between the current Southlake helmet and the proposed North Texas helmet. Wonder if Southlake will change from the current Dragon decal to the name spelled out? Todd, listen to your new fans at NT. Give us SOW on the helmets.

No. 2 Sooners Down UNT, 9-2 Courtesy: SoonerSports.com Release: 04/11/2007 Courtesy: SoonerSports.com Samantha Ricketts NORMAN, Okla. — OU starter Lauren Eckermann pushed her record to 26-1 as the No. 2 Oklahoma softball team stepped out of conference play Wednesday night and beat North Texas, 9-2, in Denton, Texas. The second-ranked Sooners improved to 42-4 on the year while North Texas fell to 16-27. The Sooner offense, which leads the nation in batting average and runs scored, combined for 10 hits behind Samantha Ricketts’ 4-for-5 outing with four RBI and Norrelle Dickson’s 2-for-3 performance. Mariee Mena also added two RBI in the contest. Including her four RBI tonight, Ricketts owns 67 on the season, only trailing the OU single season record by 10 (77 by Lisa Carey). Eckermann, the Big 12 leader in wins, scattered five hits and allowed two runs while striking out nine Mean Green batters. The junior recorded her 21st complete game of the season.

Which one? Dickey or Slinker, possibly both?

Browsing on another teams athletic website, I noticed an interesting link on their home page. I won't mention the school 'cause they may get the big head. Anyhow, they called it "ALUMNUS DATABASE REGISTRATION". I checked the Mean Green Sports site and did not see a similar link. This could be a good way for former students, general fans, etc., to register with the Athletic Department and have their name added to the database. I thought it was a pretty good idea.

Not to mention there have been "no practice photos".

Alas, many of us are still waiting on the "big Spring announcement" on the stadium.

There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth in aggieland. Just to tell you how big basketball is in aggieland the past few years, my sister and brother-in-law, typical die-hard football fans for the past hundred years, actually had season tickets for basketball this past season. This is unheard of! Believe me, aggie$ like to win and they will find a suitable replacement. Maybe dig into their feeder campus in Corpus Christi and bring in Ronnie Arrow?

I give up.

Not that we will get a stadium built anytime soon, but can someone tell me why they oppose a new UNT stadium like Ford Stadium at SMU? Please explain what is so negative about this facility? I would have this at Eagle Point in a heartbeat. Even the same capacity.

"Dodge said 85 coaches attended a practice just before spring break, even though there was no special event taking place that day." Nothing special going on, yet they still came. When was the last time that happened at NT?

You should have been there in the 1960's. It's light years ahead of the old days back then.

We finally have faces to go with the names of the new coaching staff. FB Coaching Staff

Boy GreenJoe, do we think alike. As I type this from my hotel room in Kauai, Hawaii, preparing to fly to Honolulu, enroute to home, we'll pass over the Battleship Arizona Monument. I don't think the T-shirt theme is appropriate. We should come up with a different theme that is more respective of our men and women in uniform.

Seems like the Mean Green Insider could break out the old video camera and shoot some footage, then posting it on the Mean Green Sports site. Is that too much to ask?

Some day you may be fortunate to meet "hooknbull". He's an ex-NT player from the Hayden Fry era, who, if you ever sit with him at a game, will disect every X and O, and every defensive scheme known to man,each and every play. He really gets into the game and a very fine gentlemen to know.

Did I read somewhere on this board that Ajani Banks will not be with us in the fall?

Not because I'm a veteran, but why not, somehow, recognize all of the veterans in attendance at the Navy game?

Pictures don't lie. My mistake. BUT........before Dodge's tenure at TJ, the helmets were definitely White. I just couldn't remember the years. I'm talking about the late 1950's, early 1960's. That's when I use to watch mighty TJ play when I was a kid.

This response has nothing to do with Smitty's design ability(he's really good), but the NORTH TEXAS on that helmet just doesn't do it for me. Whether we have green helmets or white helmets, give me SOW or NT exes logo on our football helmets.

Hell will freeze over and the aggies will beat UT 20 years in a row before that happens!

Dodge played for Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson HS. And yes, I believe the helmets were white.

I don't understand this at all. I'm not a "big donor" by any means (but I am consistent!), and have parked in the Green Lot for many years. There's still plenty of parking spaces in that lot. It goes all the way to Bonnie Brae so there's plenty of spots. Why move the tailgaters out?

Say it isn't so.

Jeff, I hardly ever disagree with you on anything, but you can't be serious about Howerton?
