Forget the mascot , how is the funding campaign for the new UNT- Oak Cliff stadium coming ? Seating capacity 35,000 ?

The city of Dallas needs a college football team to support. SMU and Paul Quinn have been so sucessful. cool.gif

I had to post feedback on it like Emmitt. I wonder if the 'moderator' will accept it. This just makes me insane. When so much attention is needed for the school in Denton, here we go with some diversion. Denton is the best location to serve the growth in population. It is such an ideal location. Far enough away from the city center to offer a 'college town' atmosphere, but close enough to offer the metropolitan area's many amenities. NT capitalizes on it to only a fraction of the extent which it should.

Accordingly, I stick with my original suggestion: the Fighting Blue Weasels. And I do believe there are some who influence NT's direction who harbor some dream that someday the Blue Weasels will defeat the Mean Green. Anyone up for a 60s-style sit-in?

...UH-Downtown does not share the same Mascot as UofH's main campus.

As far as I know, none of the UH system schools other than the flagship have sports teams, never mind mascots, and I think that is by design (although they do seem to each have their own colors).

Here in Sugar Land, we have a UH System "campus" (currently one building) where "distance learning" classes are offered by all of the different UH schools. Since my wife has taken some accounting classes offered by UHD over the past few years, I've been there more than a few times. There is an effort made to get the students of the other system schools to support the UH Cougars, and I think that given all of the schools are in the same metro area (even UH-Victoria is only 100 miles away), that is the right approach.

The UNT System would be wise to follow that model, but it doesn't look like they will.

As for the UT and A&M system schools having sports teams, different mascots, and different colors:

- the system schools are not in the same metro area as the flagship

- many of the schools were originally independent

- - UTEP was originally Texas Western U

- - UTA was originally Arlington State U

- - TX A&M Commerce was originally ETSU

- - West TX A&M was originally WTSU

Good post Drummer.

I'm simply drowning here, grasping for anything to hold onto so that I may pull myself back to the surface in order to somehow get a breath of a "GOOD DECISION" made by our university dealing with image, unity and pride for our school.

Win or lose, I need some football to take my mind off of it. September cannot get here soon enough.

      Fauci Under Fire

      Evidence suggests that the initial outbreak was detected at the Wuhan Research Lab on October 6, 2019 and that the Chinese government immediately closed the facility, quarantined all employees, and "disappeared" those that were infected. The facility was then entirely disinfected and all records of the outbreak were systematically destroyed. All employee cell phone activity at the facility suddenly ceased from October 7 through the 24th. This has been confirmed by both US and British Intelligence agencies. The facility then reopened on October 25 under the guise that nothing had ever happened. By the first week of November it was apparent that the outbreak had somehow already spread into the civilian population and the PRC immediately tried to purchase every N95 respirator on the global market. Then it was just a matter of time for the NIH to play ignorant until the outbreak reached our shores. I'm confident that it will be proven that Fauci and his staff were aware of every single development, and helped orchestrate the coverup. They wrongfully endangered millions of people just to cover their asses.

      Mason Fine update

      six-figures complete job autonomy ownership stake time for 60-70 rounds of golf a year (in a place with about an 8 month season) a month or so of remote work in south america every winter one of the most vibrant food and drink scenes in the country living in one of the prettiest states in the country and the liver of someone 20 years my elder all with the self-awareness that a D1 athlete has invested a lot more hours and energy into their craft than I have.

      Jeff Wilson may be back on the market

      Cut Deuce Vaughn and sign Wilson is the move. Zeke still has a role as a goal line back and pass blocker. Vaughn just looks lost.

      Jared Mosely upset and rightfully so

      What is your guess on how many games are actually shown on TV from Weds - Sat during the season? I watch games from the Ivy League, MWC, Sunbelt, AAC, C-USA, as well as from the big boys. There is a reason that these games are shown. People watch them. Initially, maybe there is a pause…but I will get tired of watching the same 30 teams…I want to see games across all spectrum.
