  1. OSU has also had university people writing papers etc. for their athletes. Then there is their great Alum---- Clarette, who filed false theft reports and did nothing in class unless you count what others supposedly did for him. They got credit for a National Championship using this thug. It may not be as crooked as SMU was.... but it is really rotten and bad enough to deserve no respect..
  2. OSU's program is rotten to the core (almost as bad SMU was ) They have all kinds of problems with the NCAA.... besides I am a Texan
  3. ---I think I may have the only NT one In Midland... haven't seen another one.....lot of Texas, Aggie and especially Tech ones.
  4. Most answers were respectful not not that one... Implies I am too "simple minded" to understand... do you not agree??? ---The answer alienated me. Guess my generation is too old to get it. I also live in West Texas and don't read or hear much UNT talk except on this board and I don't always read it. I have never heard anyone smerk when they heard the initials UNT..... Guess I have more polite friends. To me the initials is no big deal but infering people are too simple minded to understand is. To me SC means South Carolina Gamecocks-- not USC. --Zeke your first first answer was agood one but that last comment was completely unnessary....I said I gave up and joked about just using SM for SMU and then you claim I am a whinning... What a crazy remark.. ---I traveled over 300 miles (each way) to see four games last year. I am a lot more loyal than most who live 5-50 miles away. I don't deserved to be trashed or insulted. I am an ex with two UNT degrees but will just just shut up and leave the board if that is the way we treat people...I am sure you can recruit dozens of local loyals to go instead of me. There seems to be seats available.
  5. OK I lose... hope Rick doen't go to TC. Guess I guess I need to change my comment at bottom to SM, instead of SMU.
  6. They say Southern Cal or USC. They never say just SC. ...Is that simple enough for you?? (sounds insulting doesn't it.)
  7. No one answers this ... what is the problem with being UNT.??... I really don't see why NT is any better... USC doesn't seem to mind..... After all we are a university not a "region" of some "college" or some "community college". ..... I do dislike NTSU since that is an old name and I do understand people not liking 4 letter "names". What is your problem with UNT.???? Half of the people use UNT and NT interchangably and in the same article sometimes, several posts in this thread have used both. What is wrong with using UNT???? I really don't get it.
  8. One way to help fund and justify a new stadium is to sell season tickets........ SEASON TICKETS-- Yesterday here in Midland..... Texas-Tech is advertising season tickets for this fall on the local ESPN station.....They are $99 and up...... Anything going on in Dallas area for UNT.? Tech is 120 miles north of here.
  9. ---I have no idea to to contact but that thing is a disgusting mess to have our name on it....... most of them really need to be deleted and some of them are extremely old. One look and you will see why. Maybe someone who knows the right people can get it done... the sooner the better.
  10. Most State Championship basketball games in Texas would have ranked pretty high on that list. ( in several divisons )
  11. Accordng to my local paper, last night.....(Midland) UNT vs New Orleans....... 1967 fans #16 Temple vs. Mass ...711 #15 Minn vss Indiana ...813 #2 Duke vs Miami ...... 5279 #8 NC vs Virginia ...2712 #19 NCS vs Wake Forest .... 2718 #3 Stamford vs. Oregon .... 4208 #1 LSU vs Arkansas .... 2787 #5Tenn vs. Miss St..... 10,271 #21 Iowa St. vs Missouri .... 1303 When you look at it this way, we don't look so bad attendencewise......... those were top 25 teams.
  12. There are games that 6 points is scored in 15 sec or less... The most ridicuious I can thinks of is 9 points in 2 sec. --- a 3 at 2 sec, a foul shot, 2 techs, foul on inbound plus shot, 2 more techs. This was by a team that was losing by 3 or 4 to start that mess. Of course that a moot point.... LOL WE NOW HAVE A WINNING REGULAR SEASON...!!
  13. I see our friends at Baylor made that winless season list..... 0-17 in 1945. We beat UT tonight 103 to 44...... unfortunately it was UTPB in their first season of basketball. When I was at UNT in the mid '60 we got a more lot attention than today.. we were playing Cincinnati, Louisville, Wichita State, and and lot of top 10 teams. Games were fun and you had be there early if you wanted a seat.. the games then were in the old Mens gym... called The Pit or Snake Pit. UNT had their best winning years in the 70's under Blakely when we won 20+ for 3 or more years. In fact we had the best 3 year winning percentage in the NCAA during that period. Only 24 teams made the NCAA playoffs and we failed to get the recognition we would get today...
  14. A&M Corpus-Christi men are 7-1 and have defeated Baylor, TCU and Florida State...... Rather impressive for a no-name university.
  15. The Eagles will win...... figure this one out. ......This is guaranteed..... and guarantees are rare in sports.
  16. ABC snouncers said the Cowboy comeback was the first time On Monday Night Football that a team has comeback from 10 points down after the 2-minute warning. That is a surprise.
  17. ----The one thing I think that a college education does ( or should do ) is to teach it's graduates to think for themselves and also think about other people's point of view as well. DD did nothing good to help his image by his comments. ----DD showed bad judgement in making that comment. No doubt some of the UNT fans had been down on the program but not all were and trashing the alums and fans in general is never really a good idea. Besides the program had lost 4 games, 2-3 were bad losses and most of us were hoping for 3 wins and expecting at least 2 wins in the first 4 games. This could have really been a year to make a national statement and we did somewhat fail at that... we lost three games most thought was winnable . ---We should have beaten Florida Atlantic and Baylor plus Colorado would have been possible if a defense had appeared. ---He should have not said what he did and "thought" about what he said before he said it....even if he believed it. So much for a career in politics.... not much of a positive spin in that statement.
  18. ---It has always seem strange to me for a alum to switch loyality...That school/university be it HS or college represents me, my past, and my education.. About the only way I would switch would be one of my family was participating for the other university (attending does not cut it) . I also suppose if I felt that school/university somehow did me wrong or became some kind of disgrace I might change loyalities. In general it really amazes me that people switch without an excellent reason.. ---I also don't get it when people cheer for out of state schools that they did not attend and are not are in the same conference as their university against colleges in Texas. [ SMU is an exception, they always trash UNT so let them lose ]. I guess that demonstates what I was saying...SMU has done me (UNT) wrong so to heck with them.......just keep on losing. Would be interesting to see if people who switch school loyality, hometown loyality, etc. are more likely to switch spouces. Are they loyal to anything???/ Native born Texan [ 4th Generation West Texan, 3 UNT grads ]
  19. Amen Tigre..!! When things get difficult or don't go right some folks panic and start shooting in every direction... The program is in better shape than it was 5-10 years ago. We will get better. The good old days were never as good as some people want to picture them and the present probably isn't as bad as some want to make out. [ unless you are a SMU grad ]. I still haven't figured out the UT game... are they that good or are we that bad.?? Their defensive line ate us alive and without an offense the defense stands no chance since they are constantly on the field. Didn't see the FAU game (live in West Texas).
  20. This board is not an English class or a legal document.... Big deal if he didn't spell a word correctly or can't type perfectly... Ben Franklin and Mark Twain both have quotes that basicly states "Every intelligent man ought to be able to spell a word at least 2 or 3 different ways". ( neither were exactly dumb, Franklin was one of the most intelligent man ever produced in America and was considered the wealthiest American at the time of the revolution ) [ I was a Mathematics major, who understands calculus, statistics, etc. and am not a great speller. Can English majors do calculus???? I suppose I should look down on them and make fun of their math skills... in fact some don't even have a klue what calculus kan du. ] UNT is my alma-meiter or matre or mater (twice)..., whatever. lighten-up..!!
  21. To Delete team: 1. Go to Fantasy football home page. 2. Above the teams you have is the word edit., click on it. 3. Click on [Delete team]....make sure you delete the correct one. --I will consider it if the settings are similiar to Yahoo ones----
  22. This is Texas on opening day of the season--- [win, loss] record of opponent 1986---lost to Stamford................[8-4] 1987---lost to Auburn...................[9-1-2 1988---lost to BYU........................[9-4] 1989---lost to Colorado................[11-1] 1990---defeated Penn State........[9-3] 1991---lost to Miss State..............[7-5] 1992---lost to Miss State..............[7-5] 1993---lost to Colorado................[8-3-1] 1994---defeated Pittsburgh..........[3-8] 1995---defeated Hawaii................[4-8] 1996---defeated Missouri..............[5-6] 1997---defeated Rutgers..............[0-11] 1998---defeated NMSU.................[1-10] 1999---lost to North Carolina St...[6-6] 2000---defeated LaLa..................[1-10] 2001---defeated NMSU.................[5-7] 2002---defeated North Texas.......[8-5] 2003---defeated NMSU.................[3-9] 2004--- UNT...??? TEXAS DOESN"T LOOK ALL THAT GREAT ON OPENING DAY AGAINST TEAMS WITH WINNING RECORDS. THE ONLY WINNING TEAMS THEY DEFEATED WAS PENN STATE AND UNT (after UNT lost the starting QB in Q1) The steer has a real selective memory, seems we did about 30 points better against OU than they did. When did Texas last win their conf??? We have won the last 3 years.
  23. ----Parcell is not a very tolerant person nor should he have to be...... it has to be something way past juana. Carter has to a a big fool to put his high paid career at risk for drug use. Not that it matters but Quincy was no superstar and Chad appears to be as dumb as a brick in his interviews..... He played like it in Europe last Spring as well.... I doubt he will return.... Dallas has 3 QBs now but will likely look for one on the cut list or at teams that have a decent one that they really don't need . ( Maybe Drew Brees, Kingsbury or Symons?, all Texans or Kitna).
