  1. Yeah, only as long as it takes that thing to get built. Watch their recruiting now.
  2. Everybody wave by to Baylor as they move their way up the Big 12 food chain.
  3. Well we would have at least one UNT fan that would see it as a positive move WAY up...me
  4. Sorry, learning how to post replies. What is there to beam about? That I am talking to people that just want to make the SBC better? How do we do that?? We are competeing against schools that have just become 1A. The SBC is a conference that you start in and QUICKLY move out of as soon as you can. not one you try to make the most of and just hope that it gets better, because it aint! No, I actually haven't. They are always doing something to get more fans at the games...and when does that happen?? When we play schools that mean something. Save the money on the free shirts and towels do something to boost the Football program. Why focus on the symptom when we should be focusing on the problem?? We have much more than an 'attendance problem', we have NO fan support and free t shirts will not solve that problem. Better games against better schools WILL.

  6. die1 /daɪ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[dahy] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –verb (used without object), died, dy·ing. 1. to cease to live; undergo the complete and permanent cessation of all vital functions; become dead. Well regardless of what conference they are in, they sure arent in the Sun Butt Conference. And either way you look at it people show up to those games when we play those teams. I cant believe people somehow think that the SButtC is better than the WAC. Boise beat OU, Fresno st almost beat USC last year, Hawaii stomped Arizona St , San jose beat New mexico this bowl, Nevada almost beat Miami. These are schools that fans want to see NT play. Its a strong conference. So you say well those schools will be drafted up to bigger better conferences, what happens then? Well the schools that dominate the weaker conferences move up (UNT) so the conference doesnt move back down it keeps growing. Benefits dont come close to the expenses, you have have no idea what the benefits will be and dont even know what he costs will be. I would certainly travel a little farther away to watch a MUCH better game against a MUCH better team in a MUCH better conference than go to a neighboring city to watch...all the opposite of above. You may not care about the schools but how could you possibly care for ULM, ULL, FIU, FAU? Please...
  7. Who on earth would want to stay in the crummy SBC? The teams suck the school suck the sports suck. None of our fans want to go to a game where they play some school that they have never heard of. You all are complaining about the cost of traveling. What about the cost of a dying football program where they have to give out free shirts so people will come to the games because otherwise no one will come we play a bunch of no namers? When we play teams that people have heard of like SMU, La Tech, and Tulsa people actually come to the games. When we play La Monroe no one comes and they aren't going to start now. Proof, my first year at UNT we dominated our conference. We blew out Baylor that year. BUT we still had problems getting fans and when you asked why people didnt come, they said it was because there was no competition. Well now the tables have turned and we aren't any good and now people dont want to come because we suck. BUT they do come when we play teams that people have heard of and what does that mean...more money. Lets get out of this sinking ship as soon as we can. No use drowning. My vote CUSA, WAC, MWC here we come....
  8. Actually many of you probably didnt know this but TD used to be a body builder. Thats right, he could bench press a Buick. He wears many different hats.
  9. My girlfriend is on the UNT swim team. In the mornings they work out at the same time the football team does. She told me yesterday that she saw TD in the weight room with the players while they were working out. She said in my 3.5 yrs of being on the swim team and working out, she had never seen DD with the football team in the weight room. As a result she said the football team would often goof around. By contrast, she said that TD was pushing the guys when they would get tired and encouraging them to keep going. Nice to see a coach get his hands dirty with the players...
  10. Thoughts from a newbie. I want to share a short story regarding my thoughts on the proposed stadium: I went to my first Rangers game a few months back and when I walked into the stadium I was amazed at the size of it and its capacity. If I had to guess how many people were there I would have said about 40K. Well, I was shocked when they announced the nights attendance at a little over 24K. I thought about why there seemed to be so many more people than that. The reason is because of the build of the seats. Their seats are more vertical while Fizlouts field is more horizontal. All this to say that we need to build the new stadium more vertical, whether we have 1 deck or 2. Look at TCU's stadium, the upper deck is very vertical. What will this do for us: Make it look like more people are attending. Make it look like we have more seats that we do. Keep more sound in if we could ever use that as an advantage. Lastly, make it more visible from the highway. Just my suggestions. Now someone take them to RV.
