We've seen our upclose stadium renderings, but are there any landscape around the stadium renderings or whatever?
GMG!
Not sure if there is any room for landscaping since they are building it over Robertson Stadium....no room for anything but parking really.

I live in Houston and haven't hardly noticed anything Houston has done. Until last season around the Tech win. So, one good season gets them all this attention?
But, this season, there has been a lot of Houston commercials and promotions all over the media. They have stepped it up with their marketing.
That is gonna be a nice stadium in a very very bad part of town. Maybe it will help with rejuvenating that area.
it does kind of look like a nuclear power plant is situated behind the stadium...hmmm.

Guys, we were playing Clemson, not U-LaLa. When you play a team with speed, it tends to expose you in many areas.
I'm already on record saying we'll win 9 or 10. But, I never said we'd beat Clemson. Rice doesn't have Clemson size or speed...or coaching. If we lose to Rice...then complain about "pursuit angles" and "overrunning plays" and whatnot.
I'm just glad they didn't blow us out. To me, it's a sign the that corner is turned. We've gone from a 79-10 opener in 2007, to playing Clemson pretty tough and holding them under 40. Have we held a BCS conference school under 40 since Dodge has been here?
No. We haven't held a BCS school under 40 points since September 25, 2004 in Waco, Texas when the Baylor Bears beat us 37-14.
The defense has made progress. You might not like to admit it, but they have. Recognize what is happening. We are better. This battle station is fully operational!
Give Me Some of that JUICE! 100% agree.
As long as this cat isn't Rice....
-
and while I am sure Rice gets nothing but upper-echelon students....the question was "describe the ones you know". With that said...the only one I know was the now ex-boyfriend of a good friend and he fell off the face of the planet with a drug problem (serious) at the age of 29-30. Great guy...smart guy...just got involved with the wrong crowd.

pause the video at 51 seconds and tell me there isn't something wrong with that screenshot/shite?

Hey what time would you need to get to Fouts Saturday in order to get a place to park in the main tailgating area in front of the stadium? By 3-4? Thanks in advance.
-
though it is only Clemson's highlights.....I still see value in watching it.
watch the hit on their kick returner Gillchrist at 4:14....who made that hit cause he smashed him pretty good.

"KEYS TO THE GAME: Keep moving forward! North Texas did lose to Clemson, but the 35 points allowed actually are an improvement for a Mean Green team that's been outright wrecked by BCS conference opponents in recent years. Take advantage of that, see how QB Nathan Tune fares with a start and subsequent week of film study under his belt and take your chances against the beatable Owls."

we also have some great tailgaters here that could certainly serve up some tasty dishes/drinks for the man. i wonder if he would actually tailgate?
write him and ask?? Tell him it would be our pleasure. Show this guy a good time and make a new fan out of em.

I just noticed that U-LaLa has -2.5 against Ark State this week. Does anyone really think that is legit?
-
Yep, heard that comment from Mark Davis this morning. Really thought it was great and some wonderful PR for UNT. Mark has a BIG following and has some "sway" with his listeners. maybe another listener or two or three will come to watch the game due to mark Davis' so very nice plug this morning!
If you can, send Mark a nice email reply thanking him for the plug and for coming to the game Saturday.
Done.

"All in all - the day was a success. I don't think we'll find out how successful it really was until NT beats the crap out of a few teams this year."
"I don't think I would want to be in any defense meetings this week. Do you think that we could get back to the fundamentals like wrapping up when we tackle? I know we might have some rust on us but come on UNT's running back looked like we was covered in CRISCO as he ran through our LB's, D-line, and Secondary."
"Have to agree I guess we should feel lucky that we only gave up 10 points. Again I seriously hope that this was just the first game jitters, rust, or what ever you want to call it. We get one more quote warm up before we really start getting into the meat of our schedule. Come Steele now is the time to work some magic!"
"North Texas threw about everything they had at us and we bent but will did not break and still beat them by what 25 points. There is nothing to be ashamed of and I give credit to North Texas for their great effort in this game."
"No one has really given any credit to Dunbar the running back of North Texas, Just remember that North texas probably should have won about 7 games last year(they blew 5 double digit 4th quarter leads), and this year they are expected to contend for there conference title.
Furthermore lets remember that Texas beat Rice today 34-17, and North Texas plays Rice next week. If North Texas beats rice by 14 next week some of you may start to give a little more credit to North Texas. This win may not be as bad as you think by the end of the year is all I am saying.
Sure I was dissapointed by the amount of time North Texas had the ball, and the fact that they had 400 yards of offense. But truthfully I am a bottom line guy. and the bottom line is this is a better North texas team than last year, Last year they scored 7 points against Alabama and we held them to 10. thats 3 points difference. Its not as bad as some of you think."
"I was disusted at the lack of effort early and the flat play on the field. It was good to see some big plays, but we should be able to shred UNT, no questions. The Dunbar kid at RB is amazing though."
I could probably grade yesterday's performance, but after thinking about it awhile, I think I need to give credit to the North Texas group causing our performance to appear less than what it was.
"They have a pretty darn good coach, as he coached a Texas HS team to 4 of the past 5 5A state titles - so the man knows how to coach. That doesn't always translate to the college level, but in his case, I think it does.
Also, Dunbar could play on anyone's team. We have excellent defenders and he was moving thru them easily most times. The guy is simply that good.
And their QB and WR's are EXPERIENCED, and were very good last season. They might be even better this year.
Anyone that doesn't think NT will win a bunch of games this season is not looking. We beat a very solid, well-coached team that was firing on all cylinders. We just outplayed them. We'll be fine."
"Don't discount this UNT offense, their coach is a high school god in texas. His offenses were madden-esque , and he only lost one game in 6 years. UNT is potent and Dunbar is a really good RB who has a great shot at the pro's."
"Southern Miss was not as good as was predicted. North Texas was much better than predicted and will finish this season with a winning record. Usuc looked much sharper on defense than we did, whether we want to admit it or not. Bottom line: We were not expecting the N Texas staff to prepare for us as well as they did. Steele got out coached."
"I think the entire UNT AD budget prior to this season was in the 10 to 12 M range. Not surprising that they have had problems recruiting with how poor their existing stadium is. Looks like they passed a student body athletics fee for the first time with an enrollment of over 35k and are building a pretty nice stadium for their conference.
UNT should get a lot better pretty quickly"
"after a good night's sleep I've come to this conclusion: There is NO way to put a positive spin our defense's performance. period. It's not how many yards North Texas gained, it's how they gained them. From the opening kickoff to the closing whistle they controlled the clock and dragged our defense up and down the field methodically carving out yards. They had quick slants, posts, passes up the middle and Dunbar ran at will. Our D Line looked soft, our LB's non-existent and our D-backs asleep at the wheel. If you take away our 3 longest plays we end up with minimal yardage. If you take away their 3 longest plays, it's still a 400+ yard game for North Texas. With TOP 3 times longer than Clemson's, it's obvious that we did not have a single answer on D. Are they well coached? Hell yes, I give North Texas a lot of credit. However, it wasn't our second string defense that they had their way with. I don't want to be all doom and gloom after the first week but the fact is that the score of this game does NOT reflect how close this could have been. North Texas was devastated by penalties all game whereas they worked in our favor throughout. This could easily have been a 21-17 victory, and if that were the case we'd ALL be saying the sky is falling."
Alright....I am done fishing.

I mentioned it at the watching party and would have to go back and watch the play a couple times more but when they first broke-away and scored on us....did anyone else think that the ref being right in the middle affected our players ability to get at the ball carrier? Notice the ref got laid out.

I really want to see this on the helmets though....too much lettering with "North Texas"

I echo your sentiments. This team fought hard and hung in there all game. Am I disappointed with the outcome? Certainly. This is the kind of performance I expected in season two of the Dodge tenure but, given the QB and OC change, I think the offense played pretty well. The defense still has tackling issues and the big plays killed us but there was some definite improvement. I was particularly thrilled with Robertson's INT in the end zone.
Rice played Texas to a 34-17 loss and was very competitive in doing so. For that reason, I am a bit more concerned with next week's game than I was yesterday.
I agree with your concern but also consider this year's UT team is not the same as last year with Colt driving the offense. Gilbert has yet to truly prove himself and while most expect Rice to perform better this year...I can only get EXTREMELY excited about next week's game in that we have a very respectable chance at getting a W.

Very Very proud of our boys....

"I work with a guy that who is a big UT fan and so is his wife, yet both graduated from UNT. When I call him out I get "We really wanted to go to UT." I think that is the typical response now. People not going where they really wanted to and trying to latch onto the big program name."
Posers....the ultimate form of loserdom

UAB posted 345 Rushing Yds against FAU last night with 7.3 yds per rush with UAB's QB posting a whopping 214 yds himself in rushing.....that's incredible. Only 79 Passing yds on 19 Attempts.
Minny posted 281 yds in Rushing against MUTS last night...in one night RB Duane Bennett posted more than half of his last year's total numbers in rushing by posting 187 yds (reference to MDK???) Minny also posted 150 yds in Passing though we can all see that Rushing was the deciding force in the outcome of the game.
The breakdown??? Minny had dismal Rushing stats last year with having 1293 total and UAB having a lofty 2700+.
The Point is that both FAU and MTSU (teams we must especially prep for) have a poor rushing defense. We posted 2,223 yds in rushing last year with Lance only starting 8 games. Expect Lance to run all over FAU like he did last year with 238 yds and 3 tds. One could argue the primary reasons of losing that game was our defense in combination with Riley being taken out of the game due to ankle injury. Though Tune had a great game...losing your Team's captain can easily demoralize the team mid-game. In regards to MUTS....Lance posted over 100 yds in only 5 carries last year....expect that number to increase drastically as well.
Thoughts?
