  1. Amen. Some fans want big time football at 1-AA prices. It doesn't happen that way!

    I understand the price increases (and I donated to MGC every year before there was requirement so not a big issue), but why am I still getting 1-AA opponents at home and a stinkin' Thanksgiving weekend home game EVERY YEAR? B)

  2. No one thought the "New" plastic helments that replaced leather looked "good" either...as I recall, facemasks were not thought to be "cool" at first either...like the helment in ice hockey...took awhile for the players and fans to warm up to that...hey, even some of the rodeo folks are wearing helments these days...not pretty ones either! So, what am I saying....well, if this helment gets going, folks will just come to see it as the "normal" football helment and all will be well again! Change is really tough for some folks...and sports fans are the most "traditional" they come...hey...

    what would happen if all the NASCAR guys learned to turn right instead of left????????? :lol:

    I keep hoping the Busch brothers will try that!

  3. I will disagree and say I like this change.

    This rule is hardly ever enforced, and needs to be. An official is going to get severely hurt (again) if it is not taken seriously.

    I used to ref high school ball and by the time I officially gave a warning, I had already talked with the coach twice about the sidelines area. The officials are usually communicating with the bench area about this through out the game so eliminating the warning is really not that serious.

  4. A summary of what this guy will do is to make sure all of the marketing campaigns are promoting the same message: print, radio, internet, and TV. The URCM department reviews printed materials and websites to try to insure they all look the same.

    These are the guys responsible for making sure the new logos get stuck on everything and the old ones are removed. They have been needing to add more people for a while now. Hopefully, this will lead to a new TV commercial for the UNT that is really slick.

  5. Very funny.

    And while it has nothing to do with their football playing ability, the LSU helmets need to be updated. Theirs looks like an old sticker found in the attic coupled with some stick on letters from the hardware store.

    That's right! They should take our approach and change their helmets every two years. Who needs tradition?

    ****SARCASM ALERT*****

    Just in case you could not detect the tongue in cheek.

  6. This is exactly what was described to me by the Development office. We are in the planning phase of fund raising and will soon move in to the quite phase. We have to know what the price tag is before we know how much money to pickup I was told we have a little over $5M already in hand (in the Development department) for the stadium. I believe there is more money to be added to the total that comes from the state through the budget. We have some money but we also have a ways to go.

    I believe that $5M may be the amount pledged - not actually received. Also, the state will not contribute funds to athletic facilities.

  7. Official Names of UNT

    1890-1893 - Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute

    1894-1900 - North Texas Normal College

    1901-1922 - North Texas State Normal College

    1923-1948 - North Texas State Teachers College

    1949-1960 - North Texas State College

    1961-1988 - North Texas State University

    1989-present - University of North Texas

  8. If you look at FIU's performance on offense, you wouldn't know that there were the worst team in the FBS.

    No, we are the worst team in the FBS now. When your defense gives up 38 points to a team that averages 13 a game, you are the worst team in football. We will be #1 on the Bottom Team and it will be unbelievable if we are not #118 or #119 on every ranking chart on the net. The only reason we will not be #118 on every chart is that some of those rankings don't really pay attention to the bottom of the list.

    And it has every thing to do with the DC.

  9. Methodist Tom Landry was a frequent guest speaker at Baptist Billy's crusade meeetings. My late parents were financial supporters of Billy Graham (above & beyond their usual local church tithe, of course).

    Are we having fun with all this yet, Jeff? LOL!

    GMG!

    Here's another funny bit of trivia. I attended a Baptist college established with funds provided by two Methodists. East Texas Baptist was established as a sister school for SMU in the early 1900's. ETBU (College of Marshall then) was larger than SMU for a time, but the growth of Dallas outpaced Marshall and SMU became larger.
