Riley followed his dad here. I am grateful for his commitment to UNT Jamario was vocal enough to admit it was UNT's program that assists students with learning disabilities that made him commit. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

One of my favorite posters ever returns to the board and some of you welcome him in with a game of wordsmithing... MGE don't leave us. I understand the breaks, just don't make one of them permanent. Money is an issue, and there are some non-AQ programs - such as BSU - that we cannot be compared to right now. That is not an excuse for mediocrity. It should be the sign of a wise AD/fan base realizing what we need to build our own program successfully.

"what money gap"? Really? Was that sarcasm?

I think we need a look-a-like thread.

I think people have been saying the Spartans "will be dead in 5 years" for the last 15.

Perhaps, Master Wayne, this is a man even you don't quite understand. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

The end result is that it took Canales one game to achieve a winning HC record.

I believe we have a DB that shares the same number of Tune I hope these erroneous participation reports are corrected and do not hurt Tunes consideration for a waiver. Those responsible for the confusion have been sacked I like llamas.

Where is Parker? What is he up to this decade?

I imagine (/Lennon'd) that there was sarcasm in there. Highly undetectable, though. Or perhaps lowly traceable... I like Custard Pie.

I didn't see the band, but want to throw out for your consideration that many band directors bring a small PA system to comminxate to the band. If anyone saw additional amps, perhaps that was it?

Remember that moxey the football team used to have, that calm confidence that led them to always "find a way"? It is really cool to see this bball team appear to have it. And it looks like the next two years will bring even better things.

Most schools operate this way. I can't think of any major colleges, at least in Texas, that do not have a COM. I know music majors and teachers from many schools. The entire UT system covers COMs. UTA, UTSA, etc. Texas Southern has a COM. most community colleges even provide departments. Other schools come to mind with very nice departments (maybe no marching band)...Texas Weslayan [sp], west Texas A&m, etc Let's not be so naive with the spirit argument: participation would drop dramatically - for better or worse - if the requisite was removed. And those high school kids, many of them, are doing it because they get to avoid having to do P.E. and get an end-of-year band trip to look forward to. **addition Most high school bands spend about 2 hours every week day rehearsing. This includes their class block, plus the extra 1.5 hour morning practice that requires them to be at school by 7 am...maybe 630 for some. This does not include the extra time they arrange for weekly sectionals or the saturday run-throughs/review. Nor the alone time they spend practicing their music at home.

If you study music education, focusing on brass/wind, it is a COM requisite to take X semesters of marching band. This number varies from school to school. Usually 2 - 3 seasons worth. Considering the hours of rehearsal every week, giving up all game day Saturdays, and the 12 hour days during the Texas summer band practice, and the ONE semester credit granted...how successful do you think the band would be if that requisite was dropped and band fell under the umbrella of a volunteer-based athletic organization?

Would anyone like us to march like Grambling or Southern? …not my preference.

I believe Canales has shown signs he has what it takes to win as a head coach I also believe it could very well playout in his favor elsewhere. And that we'll get a name coach who fails here. And people will still be laughing at UNT because we dismissed those signs - and an obvious passion to succeed in Denton - because he wasn't a "big name". There are no guarantees.

Somebody willing to relive the pain care to elaborate on that fumble...for this young fan who was not there? Why was it so gut wrenching?

Well that is interesting. A 2nd GreenMiner.

Obviouisly having Mosely back didn't hurt our chances against WKU. He provides an additional weapon on offense, too. Anyone who saw the game care to elaborate on his participation last Saturday? How much do you think Lance's performance had to do with Mosely's presence on the field? Sure glad to hear that Micah is back. I loved watching him play as a frosh.

Generally a good idea to not paste so much from any article - free or by subscription - into the forums. It makes the mods antsy.

TU won and won big for decades to get where they were at. Now the perception is so cemented in our eyes that some of you think it can never happen. Probably not in my lifetime, but never say never. In the meantime, it was not too long ago that Houston was whooping up on all of Texas.

I cannot find any option to disable this feature. Can it be added?

MWC = long distance relationship? That would be a heck of a load on our travel budget. we are so starry eyed and gaga over perception that we are blowing off some incredibly fun road trips the Belt provides. I don't miss those west coast games at all.

Need some help here with the wish list we are putting together: Coach is: ..."big name" that everyone in the country will know and identify "serious football" with ...completely clean record. ...disciplinarian, holding everyone associated with the program accountable, expecting results and not accepting less than 100% but never lays a hand on anyone ..incredibly eloquent, good speaker ...connects to fan base. Will get to know ME on a name basis ...will turn this around in one year ...best recruiter available …previous successfully head coach gig ...is 1-0 against chuck Norris and is alive to brag about it ...craps delicious Pez candy upon request Have I missed anything?

Beat WKU?
