Can we drop them to play OU again next year?

North Texas has been a part of many stadium firsts/lasts. In addition to the above, don't forget we played last year in the final football game in the Orange Bowl (maybe just final college?) Also, we played Texas Western in the debut of the Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, September 21, 1963.

It sounds like he has general concerns about how money is spent in Texas, in regards to education vs. athletics. More money on academics = better prepared students coming into his classes. He is not against stadiums/facilities, but would prefer it not come out of student pockets. ...So he wants less outside money fueling athletics, but doesn't want the insiders paying for anything. Sounds like a great plan.... You can also interpret in his comments that he thinks we're junior college athletics. Not certain what this man knows/thinks...

This week I have read an "official response" thread based only on a private phone call to a concerned fan, and now someone is trying to find some damn consistency and justification in an ESPN Bottom 10 list.

Aside from the financial implications of having the students pay for the stadium, I think it's just as important to everyone - inside university and out - to see the students take pride and ownership in this.

These people have no interest in competing with anyone in football.

I have to admit there's a part of me that is in awe of the few who are not only opposed to this, but apparently passionate enough about it to engage in an "animated discussion", (whatever that means) The general arguments against the stadium are all based on apathy, or "why do we need this?" Never ever can I imagine someone out there trying to argue that this could actually hurt/hinder us? Any of the older alumni care to elaborate on that crowd and their perception? It seems absolutely absurd to me, but there it is: happening in front of RV and Co.

Man, I thought I was alone. Thank you.

Yes, along with UT-ARlington, Texas State, and UT-SA, I believe (Adler, correct me if I'm wrong). And we have a population that is bitching about us going to 10...

What the? Wh.. Did I miss a train? I feel like dogshit now.

Not sure how the environmentalism bit fits in.

What are you doing in the visitor's locker room?

I need to adopt "grab-assery" into my vocabulary.

With JJ playing so darn well in his place, why not?

PS: this was not meant as a slight to the others: I think Alex Lott has looked remarkable when the ball is thrown his way, and I look forward to the return of Stickler.

He's playing to build a program. Hopefully we can one day count on him having built a program that is beating up on anyone, but for now it's not hard to figure out what he decided to do when down early in Manhattan. You know, if DD had just kept his flap shut, we might have tolerated the OOC beatings. God bless those players who gave it their all.

After looking incredible during the spring game, what happened? I thought for sure he would be getting some catches with all the attention Fitz and Dibrell receive. I know someone posted he's more of an athlete than a true receiver, but that still doesn't explain why he isn't involved as I thought he would be.

Something about playing the game in groups of 17 snaps. And the whole "we're going to win" thing he likes to pump the crowd with. I had to turn it off early, but I didn't hear anything about his offensive gameplan. I'd sure like to know why he's playing the 3 - 5 yard dumps so much. I know he says the aforementioned quote so much for every game, but I can't help but wonder if he's protecting his QB and saving his eggs (aka team's health) for conference play. Gio just looks so "contained" out there.

I think we should start over.

Was there a ballot limit?

Me thinks the Dickey monster is growing to be just as big as SMU theories. You guys need to let him go.

As has been stated a billion times, it is Texas law.

I hear he posted your email. Bastard.

It blew me away how well Rice did in the first year of the spread, a year after being an option-based offense. That's so rare, and I don't know if we'll ever see it again? Then again, Fentriss said after he transferred that we were further along in our first spring game than Rice was in their first spring game. And, although it has no bearing on current players/games, Rice is something like 2-5 all time against current SBC members. Regarding us: I've never seen such lack of point production coincide with such great o-line play. We're so weird that way.

FYI, Louisville beat K-State. Hopefully, we have the program rolling by the time we open the stadium.
