Although $1 million is a lot of money, it's a drop in the bucket towards a new FB stadium. The money could be used to "start up baseball", but what is going to sustain baseball. I would use the money to finish up the rest of the facilities.

With a new donor coming on board with a $1+ million donation, why not make sure it's just a tad more than what Mattress Mac gave. Then we can rename the Athletic Center or practice fields at Eagle Point after the new donor, thus trumping Mac's recent request.

A business practice that we have followed for many years is that anyone who calls or walks in off the street, if they ask for a job application or want to drop off an unsolicitated resume', we gladly oblidge. Maybe old school now, but that's what we do. Been in business 75 years with these old business practices.

What really matters is whether Johnny Jones can learn from the UTA game. As long as he's been coaching at NT you would think he coul make some effective adjustments during the game. You would think.

"Managing the clock wisely in the last two minutes is of great importance in arena football, and I think I’ve been able to carry that over to the college game." Hmmmm, clock management is important.

RV could easily be "blog challenged" just like me. The message board could be easier for him.

Hey, blame Al Gore for the internet! It's his fault.

Not to rain on the parade, but $1,000,001 would trump Mattress Mac's donation.

Amen!

Not sure about that, but didn't a Zack Fry play for North Texas?

I would almost rather have Nix from South Carolina.

Why would we even remotely think of hiring the Matcho Midget?

Good one El Paso!

A hire like this would cause sheer panic at NT. Don't do it RV.

"...coached Freshman All-American and All-Conference USA selection Shawn Nelson, who had the best season ever by a tight end in school history, registering 35 catches for 540 yards and five touchdowns. Nelson was named the New Orleans Bowl MVP, posting six catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns." How do they do that? Do they have passing plays where the tight end is actually thrown to? This is some amazing stuff.

At least we might look ahead to a series with UTEP.

Check out this link on the CUSA board. UAB looking a Nix? These are not authorities on Coach Nix, but one particular post caught my attention. He can coach but he can't recruit. CUSA Nix Thread

Can we put an end to the 50+ threads dealing with Darrell Dickey and Mattress Mac? It's all water under the bridge now and there is no reason to continue bashing Darrell. He did good things for NT....but his time had come. People, give it a rest.

I agree. Leave the site alone. We have other irons in the fire to take care of first.

Classic!

For you youngsters, here is the Snake Pit after a big NT win over a top Missouri Valley conference mate. This picture is out of the 1968 Yucca.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Mac donate the $1 million to complete the athletic center? If so, the athletic center is complete, thus the money is spent. And unless I'm missing something, Mattress Mac has already taken the donation deduction or whatever portion he is allowed, on that years income taxes. C'mon you you accountant and CPA types, care to weigh in on this. MM can't take his money back or re-direct it to some other department.
