Maybe not a big deal to some, but my understanding that as of midnight, the tower was still not lit green. It just one of those small details when it comes to traditions here that we want to start, but can't quite get off the ground. I also know it is one win amongst many losses as of late, but if we want winning to be taken seriously around here, then things like this don't need to be overlooked.

They started to light the tower green but the bulbs broke. Then they put in the backup bulbs and they broke almost immediately also. Havn't seen such a rash of season ending broken bulbs in a long time. I blame the maintenance staff for not going out and getting suitable back-up bulbs and having them ready to play, I mean light.

So, we're down to 3rd string lights? I hope th backups will be tried out in practice situations; we know now how important they are.

Now THAT is funny.

Actually, that's plausible!

If they didn't do it for other sports it would be! :) They're supposed to do it for anytime we win anything though. It used to be tough to keep tabs on EVERY sport (even in the late 90's - the precursor to MGSports wasn't as fast to update everything, so often results for things like volleyball didn't go up till the following day) -- but I tried like hell!

We had someone out at the tower to light it and had people there ready to celebrate but sadly, maintance had prevented the box from being able to be opened. The box that we open up to gain access to the tower light was bolted shut which prevented the tower from being lighted. We are currently working on this and it will be definitely fixed within the day.

I'm sorry, but what self-respecting college group does not have a pair of bolt cutters? I mean, back in the day, that was like mandatory for every new pledge. :)

      Whatever visions they all have aren't gonna matter to any of the Big 30-40 teams or their networks. And whatever the history was for everyone but the huge powers in the CFB world flat out won't matter. Teams like BYU and Pitt are very likely to get relegated down, as will many others higher up the foodchain. The days of Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Northwestern, Purdue, West Virginia, Rutgers, Iowa State, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Boston College, and Cal, as more examples, of being power teams are ending sooner rather than later. Teams like Tech, OSU, and Kansas State are all on the line of either being included or getting excluded down the road. I figure there are 40 power teams when its all said and done for football. Probably about 60 teams for basketball. And that'll be it.

      You make a good point. I still don’t like that he said it publicly though.

      The separation now from P4 to G5 is informal. The formal relegation of G5 to some lower tier is what I am against. We have played top level football schools in all of our football history, just not as conference members usually. Our first game ever was against TCU. The lineup you mention about would be great. But Smut, TCU, Baylor, and Houston have visions of staying in the top "power" tier or whatever fake name they assign it.

      All of this should happen, ASAP. The mistake you make about comparing 1-aa to G5s today is not true. We gave up in 1982 while the SWC and Big Eight were giants in the CFB world. Between 1981-1995, The SWC/Big Eight had Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, SMU, Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Houston have teams that would finish in the Top Ten. Meanwhile, in Denton, we were playing conference games against something called Northeast Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, McNeese State, and Nicholls State. Literally, whatever little support we had got nuked. Now today, playing schools in the same level of play like SMU, TCU, Baylor, Tulane, Tulsa, Houston, Rice, UTSA, UTEP, and Texas State would bring a lot more eyeballs to North Texas than anything we have ever seen in Denton. And then adding in the idea that we can legitimately play for a title in football, you'll get more interest tan UNT has ever had. If you ever think we should be playing Texas, A&M, OU, etc...in equal standing, you'll be sorely disappointing. Its just not gonna happen. EVER.
