WACky Conference Leave North Texas Alone Now! We do not want you

92-83 Final - Go Mean Green!

I felt much more rivalry with Ark St. or NE La (ULM) during the Southland days than I ever felt with SWTSU. If one were added, I'd much rather see UTSA at this point because of the San Antonio market (even if they don't even have a team yet).

The great thing about the new stadium is that there will be LOTS of good seats (all better than Fouts) that those of use who can't do the Club level will still be able to afford. I haven't heard prices on the "regular" seats yet, but I imagine they will be in the range the average fan can afford.

Don't really know. I don't remember watching Dean Martin much (except for a few of his movies).

You're probably thinking of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. I know exactly the "ugly old woman" character you mean.

Yep - she's married to my brother-in-law's brother.

According to the UNT Factbook, the enrollment last year was 36,123, including the Dallas campus. So, we took those numbers out and our increase in Denton enrollment matched the numbers we took out by separating UNT-Dallas.

Don't forget the whole Mayan calendar thing either. Since the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012, there just doesn't seem to be much point in worrying about all this.

Don't really have much respect for an article where the poll choices are basically "Do the smart thing (what the author wants)" or "Make the stupid choice (what the author doesn't want)".

Don't remember off the top of my head the age policy, but I'm pretty sure a 3 year old needs their own ticket. In the past, you've been able to sign up for the Jr. Mean Green Club on game day at the "Fun Zone", which is on the north end of the old practice fields in the tailgating area.

Official numbers don't come until after 12th Class Day and aren't usually released by the state until sometime later (October?), but you should start to see "unofficial" versions that will be close sometime soon after the official census date.

I'm sorry - but did you read this thread and, especially the link to the BYU announcement?

Not really too hard - just "air" and "ee"

It should be the "Aerie" - the nest of a bird of prey, as an eagle or a hawk. (per Dictionary.com) It would also play on UNT History since this name was also used by the yearbook for many years.

The on-campus sorority housing wasn't on the list I looked at, so that would add to the numbers as well. Same for the fraternity houses. I don't really know how those count in when those sorts of "on-campus" numbers are calculated for reporting. That could be another reason why our calculations and the published calculations vary. And, as has already been pointed out, if you counted "on-campus" by just drawing a circle around the campus area, it would be a much larger percentage of our students with all the large apartment complexes nearby.

I did a check of the Housing website and the actual number of on-campus spaces in the residences halls is closer to 6,000, not 7,000, which explains a little bit of the variance in the numbers you mentioned.

Thanks for all you do, Harry!

1. No 2. Yes

No - we are the 4th largest university in Texas, but we have the 3rd largest undergraduate enrollment.

Of course, it wasn't the "Texas State" system until 26 years after we left it.

Not really. Texas State was one name we considered. University of North Texas was the name we wanted in the early 60's when we got saddled with NTSU. The name change in 1988 included some discussions about the Texas St. name, but we put forth UNT as our choice (I was a student leader at the time and actually was polled personally about that choice - I chose the University of North Texas option because we have been and always will be "North Texas"). Back to the topic of discussion - I think the SWTSUSM is a great alphabet soup and love those who use it. I personally refuse to ever call them Texas State. They are Texas State University at San Marcos (TSU-SM). To call them anything else implies that they are somehow the flagship of the Texas State System (which doesn't have one).

Using Baylor's arguments, the only logical solution is to form a Texas Conference of all the current Texas FBS schools so that all that money stays in Texas. All in favor say "Aye".

Be very careful. You must not abuse the power of the . Or else!
