Ive been checking PonyFans.com daily since we announced hiring HKS, just waiting to see them make remarks about any good fortune coming our way. Alas, today it happened. Just a matter of time.

I often check Ponyfans while pantsless and watching highlight reels of Doak Walker, but to each his own.

It's hard to explain how their posts get under my skin. I know, "don't let it bother you", "take the high road", "they are just jealous and we'd do the same thing", blah, blah, blah! I guess over the years we have proved some of their comments right. Can't help it, can't stand 'em! I can't wait for them to set up a series with us. I think they've already figured out they lost their best chance of a close game by not signing with us for 2008. Would it not be the best to be able to play them in the NOB! Let the rivalry really begin!!

Let it go it's only one side we are planing on a horseshoe which mean end zone seats on one side.

Some endzone seating to finish the "bowl" effect is fine, but why 10,000 seats when 5,000 would be plenty to connect the sides plus maybe a grass knoll, then spend the extra $ on more sideline seating. Tech and Baylor's endzone sections are small with more sideline seats, where SMUt's endzone seating is the same as sidelines yet is just more to be unused (of course their sideline seats are unused too :lol: ).

When One Loves To Hate Another School (Athletically Speaking), One Needs To Be Very, Very Careful That They Are Not Responsible For........

...........Allowing A Rivalry To Break Out With Such Careless Behaviour (for heaven's sake)!

(After all, one just can't do these kind of things in Texas Inter-collegiate Football anymore--can you)?

If we get this new stadium world peace is inevitable. Hot women really will put out because you "can make them laugh", gas prices will go down, and criminals will stop victimizing others if you just hug them enough and tell them how special they are.

Yep, with this new stadium anything is possible.

But, there will still be some world hunger if it seats less than 40,000.

With the possible exception of the Big 12 (13 ? ), what other conference would you rather be in ? CUSA, despite SMU, makes the most sense. Houston, Rice, Tulsa UTEP, and even Tulane. this is the best, the only real conference choice for North Texas.

The only 1-A conferences with any members semi-nearby are SBC, CUSA, Big12, SEC, WAC, and MWC. Of course CUSA is the logical step up. We've already discussed the WAC at length. The Big12 and SEC have no openings. The only other option is the MWC with TCU. They need another team in this region for TCU but I think UTEP might get that call. A new stadium would help our cause, as would 25K average attendance in the SBC. CUSA would be a good step up while waiting for a Big12 opening. B)

I like the current design much better. Here is the old "new" stadium illustrations:

I just hate that open area between the athletic center and the stands. What is that all about? I looks terrible.

Ah yes GMG.com two most talked about subjects; Stadium dreams and which conference should we join (since it's entirely up to us)....

............and NOW I predict a post that will put together the 'Optimal Conference Alignment' for UNT which will include a select few schools from a select few other conferences and how this new conference will dominate and become a BCS conference and how it will be great because we won't need a travel partner since the schools are so close and then we will have a great showing of fans because everyone will want to drive there (being so close) and how financially it makes perfect sense for every school in that conference and how we will get great tv time with countless bowl-tie-ins and then a breakdown of why those school are included in this 'Dream conference' (UNT excluded of course).

Do you look at the world through turd colored glasses?

FFR, don't worry about the water shortage. With these waterless urinals, we'll be fine.

I first experienced waterless urinals another location; the Marfa Lights Viewing center. I don't remember where I read this, but I think the local High School kids in Marfa designed it. I LOVED those lights, but man was I impressed by those waterless urinals and that the local kids designed such a place. There's a picture of it in this link:

Another waterless urinal site

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      Dog shit excuse. It has nothing to do with anything. It's one of the same several excuses used in an attempt to put a curtain up and around the real problems.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      They do have a lot of advantages in that an entire region of the state is theirs.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      We are in the best conference now that we have ever been in since the old MVC days. We host conference games this season with Tulane, Tulsa, Army, etc and those are great. Right where we need to be. Much better than the old SLC or even SunBelt. Playing some Power Teams are fun in both football and basketball, actually the highlight of the schedules! I look more forward to our away game with Texas Tech than a home game with SFA, and I think most fans do too.
