am I the only one that isn't in love with this move? It's just not recognizable. I guess money got tight.

I too wish it sounded cooler. It sounds like the name of a forgetten native american tribe. It also sounds like apathy. Ugh. Oh well, money is money and we need what we can get. However, Ive already t

For anyone who doesn't like it, I would put money on Apogee either not surviving for 20 years or being acquired by a larger corporation. Obviously the latter would be best because they would likely k

If you want to actually meet lots of the crazy fans you should really make a point of coming to the flag football and basketball games. mrsgreengoblin loves having other girl players so she isn't the only one and ArmyofMom refuses to play any of our reindeer games.

I went to the GMG Bowl a couple months ago! And I'm an avid basketball fan as well... went to most games last season and Hot Springs! I'm sure I'll eventually learn my way around here...

This money is not for AD operations am I correct? It goes 100% to the stadium... at least, it should. The student fee can only pay for 1/2 of the stadium.

Don't look for the end of 'body bag' games, coaching raises, and a brand new baseball stadium next month. This money should be allocated 100% to the stadium with the donor's name on it.

It doesn't have to. The athletic department sold naming rights to the stadium, but that does not legally bind them to use it to pay the mortgage. I'm sure the bean counters will work it all out.

I don't know. I'm not quite sure if the shade of green is right and it doesn't seem to quite match my shoes.

But seriously, even with the time value of money taken into consideration, this is a great deal for UNT. It's a million bucks a year that wasn't there yesterday. That anyone could find fault with that is pretty befuddling to me. Wait. All things considered, it really isn't.

KRAM1 is right. Good things come in threes. As Paul Harvey said, "Stand by for news!"

We go out and land the 2nd best naming rights deal in the country?!?! Better than Texas Tech?! We've officially got bragging rights over a Big 12 school!

Is the "sleeping giant" finally waking up??

Plus the Mean Green are 3-1 the past four trips to Jones(Fouts West) Stadium.

P.S. We were one last-second fumble away from being 4-0 the last four trips there. "Don't throw it to stone hands!!!!!".

What a wild stretch in our history. We just had their number!

Q: Was that all under Dickey, or did those (almost) 4 wins start before his tenure?

Isn't there going to be a meaningful announcement at the Houston game?

KRAM1 is right. Good things come in threes. As Paul Harvey said, "Stand by for news!"

1. Naming Rights deal with Apogee

2. Voertman's $8 million dollar donation

3. Hiring of Bill Lively (will prove to be on the same level as time goes on)

4. August 15th announcement.

5. Hiring of Lane Rawlins as President of UNT. Look at what has happened since he arrived.

I would say if we could add one more to this list, we would have two sets of "three's."
