They have the history of his name all wrong but there he is... Scrappy the Eagle... You can vote to put Scrappy on the cover of NCAA 09.. Sorry folks, I really wish it would be Mean Green Scrappy or something to emphasize our real team name... but either way it is cool that he is on there. Scrappy is one of only two from the Belt (the other is Lightning from the MUTS). When you get to the voting page - click on Sun Belt/Big Sky and vote for the only cool selection available from the Belt >>> Scrappy. (bleh)

"The new name of Scrappy was announced in 1995" !?!? More like restoring the rightful name to the mascot.

As GrayEagleone mentioned in a thread over a year ago, the original scrappy is my avitar. It was drawn by legendary cartoonist Bill McClanahan.

http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/...s/MM/fmcbb.html

The mascot was called Scrappy back in the 50's when he first appeared on North Texas gear.

Here is one sample of Bill McClanahan's work.

He did a weekly cartoon about the SWC in the DMN.

If the University is never going to use the "original Scrappy" image, then I think the Exes should use it for their gear.

Bill, I still have an old college clipboard I used at NT. It has a 3", full "Scrappy" decal on it. Wish I could scan it and use it for my permanent avatar.

You know, semi-objectively, our mascot looks pretty damn good - better than so many others.

I looked at all of them and found few that I really liked all that much. Growing up around TCU, I have a soft spot for Superfrog and think it is truly a unique mascot.

But overall, Scrappy definately holds his own!

Well, I was gonna send them a link HERE and/or HERE so that they could read up on the History and Tradition of Scrappy and our history of the Eagle as the mascot at the University of North Texas in order to get it right. But that would just frustrate another individual trying to find that information on our official athletic website so I won't bother?

By the way, for the 1,000th time, BOOMER the Cannon is NOT a Civil War replica. <_<

jaycutler....what's your point? I do not see the connection between supporting our mascot and trying to get some good PR for the University and "worrying about winning more then two football games". Do you mean before we worry about them getting all the details and history about Scrppy wrong on the web-sight? If so, I tend to agree with you....but, it's like the old adage..."I don't care what you call me as long as you call me for dinner!".

UNT and Scrappy could be in for some great PR with this...so, let's vote as often as they will let us...I am sure other university groups will be doing the same...we just need to "out vote 'em"!

GO SCRAPPY...SCRAPPY FOR PRESIDENT! Hey, that might, in fact, be a decent idea considering the bunch running this time around on both sides! :lol:

You are allowed to vote once per day. In other words, make sure you vote everyday.

How do they know when you vote, if you move to a different machine with a different ip address? I thought I would try to vote again at work but somehow they new I had already voted. Creepy.

I just voted for Scrappy again...seems to be working fine at the moment. I sure wish they would give us a "tally" of the count so we could see who is winning...do you think it's rigged from the beginning? I think I "smell hanging chad" in the mascot voting. Where are the poll monitors when you need them???? :ph34r:

VOTE FOR SCRAPPY!!!! VOTE EVERY DAY...GET YOUR FRIENDS TO VOTE......SCRAPPY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      I missed the first inning but good to see Childers back in and getting some momentum. She retired the first eight batters she faced, striking out five or six but then unfortunately walked the bases loaded with two outs. After a wild pitch scored one, #29 for the Shockers hit her 18th homer of the year to put WSU up 4-0 on only 1 hit. The same freshman pitcher for the Shockers that was perfect through 4.2 last night started today and had a no-hitter through 4.2 again. Unfortunately this time she did not break. Wagoner had the last four innings and pitched well until WSU got some insurance runs off of her in the 7th. I hope Childers can get back in a rhythm. Gonna be tough to go to Charlotte with 1st place still on the line with only two reliable pitchers. Another thing I noticed this weekend was that Kalei seems to be a little slow going after those wild pitches. Obviously the first run of the day scored on that. We didn't even get a throwback to contest. I wonder if she's hurt. Backup catcher Moffitt was in a sling this weekend, I wonder what happened to her. I don't know if we have a third catcher on staff. Charlotte and FAU both won today, so they're 17-6 and we're 17-7. Would be nice if USF and UAB did us a favor and won tomorrow so we'd be tied for first heading into the final weekend. Seems UAB wins when we need them to lose, and vice versa. I just want a top two seed so we only have to win two games to take the conference title. I'm really tempted to go ahead and request Friday the 10th off so I can head up to Wichita.

      Any free agent signings?

      Gabriel Murphy to Vikings & Grayson Murphy to Dolphins. Noah Rauschenberg got an invite to Chiefs rookie camp.
