  1. Why do UNT fans insist on going over to other forums and posting stadium pics and saying how UNT would be a great expansion member?

    I don't understand it. It's embarrassing and then they get into arguments with the other posters about how many ponds it has and where the grass is, etc. Not a good idea.

    I uh, I agree with Daddy Dumpsalot. Ahem. :unsure:

  2. Each and every time I heard Coach Mac speak, from the day he arrived, he has talked about the "undersized squad" UNT has at the moment. He knew from the start that UNT, as a rule, was a tad "undersized". Looks like he just now took the time to figure out on average just how undersized. I am sure this has something to do with player goals set for the summer conditioning program.

    Coach McCarney had most definitely already made this assessment. Maybe now he just put some actual numbers "on average" to the matter. Nice to have some goals for his players in the summer, right?

    If I remember correctly, at the Denton coaches caravan stop, coach McCarney said there were 2 players that needed to lose weight. A handful were at optimal weight, and the rest of the team needed to gain.

  3. Maybe he's taking notes on how to make our basketball games more entertaining. The chicken toss and Lil Dribblers can only do so much...

    But is the border collie that chases frisbees across the floor and the random silver people who stand on top of each other and bend in very unnatural positions while holding hoops really any better?

  4. The Top 10 students of the Little Elm High School graduating Class of 2011 and their parents were honored May 23 for their academic success and achievements at the Top 10 Dinner at the Tribute in The Colony.

    LEHS principal Charles Lester spoke to the top graduates, congratulating them on their achievements and the hard work they put in studying and participation in the school. He also thanked their parents for their support.

    The valedictorian for the 2011 graduating class is Maria Yanez, daughter of Ruben and Maria Luisa Yanez. She was involved in Student Council and DECA, and was the president of the National Honor Society. Yanez also was the vice-president of the Spanish National Honor Society and the secretary of HOSA, or Health Occupation Students of America.

    Yanez plans to attend the University of North Texas at Austin and later medical school to become a pediatrician.

    Duh! Austin is the next logical destination for a new system school.

    It's all a part of Lee Jackson's monumental plan to move UNT so far south, that we have a campus at the South Pole. Next Step: UNT at Monterey.

    And what do you think 97 & 03 is doing in Honduras? That's right: UNT at Tegucigalpa.

  5. SUE, It's funny that you called it the Palace. I was thinking yesterday that we need a good nickname for the new stadium and the first thing that came to mind was The Palace. Compared to Fouts it is indeed a palace.

    Life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.

  6. By Ann Smajstrla / Staff Writer - AUSTIN — Denton activists joined protesters from across the state to rally for abortion rights at the Walk for Choice in Austin Saturday. The purpose of the two-hour rally was to raise awareness for the abortion rights movement. The activists seek to gain free and legal abortion access for all women. Participants of the rally came from all over the state and represented cities such as Denton, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Corpus Christi. Denton groups represented included the local chapter of the International Socialist Organization, Students for a Democratic Society, the [...]

    Oh boy... :unsure:

  7. Just how big is the Eagle? Does anyone have the measurements? I hope it's a least the 3rd biggest logo on a field in the state of texas. :P

    Our Eagle was rated 4* by Scout.

    Of course, since it's an eagle on UNT's field, Rivals only gave it 3*. If it were an eagle on Boston College's field, maybe it would get 4 or 5*. :angry:

    Good news though, Max Emfinger thinks our eagle is a 5*!

  8. Peja and JJ were liabilities on both ends of the floor last night.

    If Peja can't hit jumpers, then all he can do is foul on the other end and is not worth having on the floor.

    If JJ can't get into the paint and MAKE a layup, then he's hardly valuable either. I recall 3 missed layups and an embarassing block by Bosh.

    As an aside, I liked when the Mavs put JJ on Lebron, tempting him to be a jump shooter. He was hitting all night, but will he do that all series?

  9. I think having "North Texas" on the helmet makes perfect sense for the time being. As much as some, including myself, would like to only have the eagle or some other symbol on the helmet...the fact of the matter is that not many people from around the country know who we are. We don't have the name recognition right now that the likes of UT, Alabama, Auburn, and Oregon have. Whenever people watch a televised game of North Texas and see "North Texas" on the helmet, there is no question as to who we are. Having "North Texas" on the helmet will also help end the confusion of "NTSU" and all of those other names that individuals on this board get so mad about when an announcer refers to us as.

    Overall, I think this makes sense for our current situation. 5-10 years from now may be another story if things go well...but right now I think it makes sense.

    Does it really? We've had it on there for the past 10 years and I believe we were refered to as "NTSU" numerous times...LAST YEAR.
