Finally, I was afriad we'd never get on.....

Holy Cow we are up to 300 and in forth place!

Keep up the good work!

Vote often and keep in mind this map is not only concerned about Density, it is concerned about area. So vote in the DFW and use Google map search for gas stations, convenience stores, ect... in small towns to come up with more addresses in the North Texas area. That will help spread out Mean Green area!!

To paraphrase a crappy movie:

"If we can't rig an obscure regional poll - then what the hell are we trying to save!?"

GO MEAN GREEN!

It would never be accurate anyway because they did not do anything to secure the votes, any fans at any school, region for pro sports, etc... what have you, will vote several times to help his or her team.

I just want North Texas well represented on the map, silly or not!!! It is still free national publicity.

North Texas #1

Show your green

Vote green!

1) Penn St.---------363

2) Clemson---------350

3) Notre Dame-----331

4) North Texas----310

I think it shows that we have a inferiority complex.

At least SMU can hang with Tulsa.

True, pollock, but how many of the schools we deemed beatable OOC schools this Fall seemed to not want to put us on their football schedules when some of those schools saw all those Texas state 100/Oklahoma Fab 55 recruits we recruited that one year a few years ago? Anyone don't think that was not noticed by those schools on this Fall's OOC schedule? Anyone think that they probably all knew how many of that group would be graduated when they finally agreed to tee it up with NT?

Our football program hit an apex of having beat a CUSA co-champion in a bowl game in only the SBC's 2'nd year of football existence; but just maybe we all ought to set back and look at those kind of peculiar scheduling quirks, that is, when we have had good teams certain schools don't won't us on their schedules?

Anyone out there don't think Rick V didn't try to get such schools as La Tech, SMU or Tulsa on our football schedule during those years after we had that superb recruiting class that translated into 4 bowl appearances? Sure, all those schools can all say their schedules were full back then, but how many of those same school's schedules would not have been filled had we had "so-so" teams back in that day?

How many of you really think SMU or Tulsa or La Tech would have beaten our football team in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004? I think we might give Tulsa and La Tech one win in one of those 4 years but I'll give SMU "0" wins during that 4 year period.

So come on people, lets quit beating up on ourselves because some schools were gut-less to play us when they knew what we had after that strategic recruiting class (the one with Roy Bishop) and what they probably knew we would have going on in Mean Green Country compared to what they had going at the same time.

Another question: This is a "what if" but WHAT IF: NT runs the table, wins the SBC this Fall and even beat the CUSA opponent we'd have in the NO's (Lafayette) Bowl? Yes, I know, a very big pipe dream but if that scenerio were to unfold, wouldn't there be a helluva' lot "Sylvestor The Cat" "whoops" grins from many on this message board who have been playing their fiddles non-stop Nero-style?

In the non BCS, teams have gone from nothing one season to a bowl game the next. Look at Tulsa U who had nothing before Kragthorpe arrived, went to a bowl game his first year, were terrible his 2'nd year and are back on track this year. This can happen at the level we presently reside that we all eventually want to leave behind once all is in place at Eagle Point for us to do so.
