  1. I don't know how many of you spend time on the C-USA board, but I do, and it's commonly pointed out that C-USA is the worst of the FBS conferences. The days of Houston and UCF are gone. Conference USA is now the Sun Belt 2.0 and the new Sun Belt is actually a higher rated conference by most analyses.

    I am happy to play other Texas schools as much as anyone, but when those Texas schools are UT offspring schools (UTSA and UTEP) it just gives off a very small-time vibe and Rice just isn't committed to a winning football program. I'd much rather be in a stronger conference whose name actually commands some respect from causal fans. C-USA is a doormat conference and I know that we haven't even won it yet, which also makes us a doormat, but if we're talking about bettering our athletics programs, the Mountain West is a big step in the right direction. Away attendance is a small factor, in my opinion.

    For those advocating C-USA over the Mountain West, is C-USA the conference we want to be associated with? It can be argued whether or not the Orlando Sentinel and other publications are accurate in their predictions and evaluations, but the point is, this is how our conference is perceived, and perception is extremely important. Is this the best we can hope for?

    love Ibiza but don't go nearly enough.

     

    I live fairly close to Punks so we go there quite often.  I have a love-hate relationship with the place.  Outside of the fried chicken I think the food is pretty poor.  But, the fried chicken is terrific and they have a great outdoor area to let the kids run around while you relax and have a beer or glass of wine.  

    To each his own. I love everything I've eaten at both Punk's and Ibiza, but I'm biased so I'll admit my opinion isn't 100% objective.

  3. Try Ibiza. My uncle is the owner/chef there and they have some excellent food. The octopus is outstanding.

    EDIT: I just read where you said "probably nothing expensive." He has a less expensive restaurant with some great southern food too (also, it's only a 9-minute, 0.5 mile walk from Rice Stadium):

    I know this has nothing to do with Jeffrey, but I'm from a VERY small town and VERY small school and it's so weird to see Elkhart mentioned here. Especially when my little sister has theatre with this guy right now.

    That being said...he's supposedly pretty good and was a one man team at Elkhart this year. And according to my sister, UNT is the only school he mentions. He wants to come here.

  5. Hello, I was curious to see if UNT was included into CUSA in NCAA Football 2014 on XBOX 360 and also if they finally included UNT's Apogees Stadium into the Gameplay and the actual stadium is shown in home games.

    Sorry if this was asked at an earlier time, was thinking about buying a copy if it includes those things in the game. Thanks Again

    Crap...just saw that you said included into CUSA in the game. That I don't know. Someone else may have some info on that?

    The NCAA games include all FBS teams. So yes, North Texas is included in the game. Also, Apogee has been in the game for a few years now.

  7. Does MG Athletics get full value for your ticket/seat? I know that these services have value and are necessary, but if you're a fan of Mean Green and want to support the program why would you try to short change the program in favor of saving 5 bucks?

    As a bar rat who frequently goes to watch friends play their gigs, I never ever ask them to put me on "the list" or for free tickets. These guys need food money just like myself.

    Joshdude: certainly not trying to put you/your parents under the microscope with this question. Just trying to understand how the system works.

    Okay we'll just get regular tickets. My parents are just broke these days putting my brother through a private school in Arkansas and my sister through a private school in east Texas. They're gonna be bringing 6 people and $30 is a lot of savings...that's why I asked. I'm a college student who can't afford to subsidize them. I have no desire to shortchange the athletic department.
