Now if we can get that last men's game scheduled so we can see the schedule.

Speaking of the Jumbotron, the "noise meter" graphics were way overused Saturday.

Student turnout was great Saturday. The biggest potential for more fans may not be Denton as much as the thousands of alumni in the Dallas - Fort Worth area who haven't discovered Apogee yet.

Two biggest negatives were Thompson's passing and the entire third quarter.

Not rare enough? Ours were fairly pink, but very good.

Glad to see this topic resurrected, even if for the wrong reason. I also miss the pre-game parade around the track, but one of the many good things about Apogee is there is no track. There is, however, something I would like to see the band bring back. Through the last season at Fouts, the band played a patriotic prelude and a drum roll as the color guard brought the flags to the field. That was taken out last year, and I think it took a lot away from the presentation of the colors.

The LSU forum cites BCS implications and the importance of a 12-0 record over 11-0 for keeping the game. Just makes an upset that much sweeter for us.

I was in Denton one afternoon last week so went by to see how the bridge was coming along. The structure across the highway seems to have little activity since the pictures posted earlier. Instead, most of the work has apparently been on the ramps, including electrical lighting. If you ask how many are working on it, I would say about half of the workers.

From the 1968 squad: Cedric Hardman, DL, to 49ers Joe Green, DL, to Steelers Charles Beatty, DB, to Steelers Glen Halloway, OL, to Bears Steve Ramsey, QB, to Broncos Ron Shanklin, WR, to Steelers Also, the Mean Green tag was for the defense.

I haven't bought basketball season tickets due to at least two Thursday night meetings each month, so obviously I did not get a renewal form with my football tickets. Anybody know when season tickets go on sale for new holders, and when will schedule be available?? I was regular in the snake pit last half of 60's.

Got mine today in Flower Mound and happy to have parking in lot 1 next to stadium and alumni pavilion.

This is my first post after visiting for a few weeks. I feel the need to take you youngsters back to the last three seasons of my time at what was then NTSU: 1966 - last year for Odus Mitchell, the Eagles went 8-2 with wins over New Mexico State and Texas Western (now UTEP), but losing to nemesis Tulsa and Wichita. 1967 - first year under Rod Rust, they went 7-1-1, falling to Memphis the last game of the season, with a tie with NM State, and wins over Colorado State and Tulsa. 1968 - they went 8-2 with upset loss to Memphis and losing to Arkansas 15-17, and wins over NM State, Colorado State, Tulsa, and UTEP That is a three-year record of 23-5-1, with Joe Greene named All-American, two MVC championships, the birth of the Mean Green, and capacity crowds at (pre-expansion) Fouts Field.
