Well, I think it's pretty bad when a player on scholarship can't wear something that honors his choice of Universities....at the same time that he is honoring his father. The last time I checked, you can do two things at once with an ad. And that big bare chest of a North Texas player on scholarship, in a North Texas publication, really screams "LOST OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE OUR SCHOOL".

Received the latest "North Texan"? Just in case you haven't, here's a link. http://issuu.com/universityofnorthtexas/docs/northtexansummer2012 Go straight to the inside back cover. The ad for Mea

AGREED! That looks ridiculous. Let's show our players carrying our helmets, and let's go with UNT or NT.

I'll just file this one under "Series of North Texas F..kups That Never End".

The apathy won't be dictated by a NT player holding a Redskins helmet honoring his father. Look at our athletics history and it's consistent underachieving results on top of that decades of administration not caring about athletics and school related connection and pride and you'll clearly be able to locate where our apathy stems from.

I don't in any way blame Mr. Orr for the ad. It's not up to him to set it up. It's not up to him to say "Ok, we're almost ready to take the photo....except that, instead of that plain white sleeveless shirt, we need you to wear something with the North Texas logo on it".

THAT oversight is a symptom of our long tradition of apathy and/or indifference in promoting our athletic program.

You know what really pisses in my Cheerios? When I am sitting at Apogee watching a Mean Green football game and they show that old commercial where that goofy kid exchanges a coca-cola for a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey from that mean looking guy.

How does that relate to NT?

Because our sports teams are named after that guy?

I agree. That kid wasn't wearing a North Texas shirt. Yet another missed opportunity to reach our apathetic fanbase.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Agreed. But I can understand them trying to get this game in today. If they do it....WSU can get home a day early....instead of having to stay around. Will try to make it too....won't be there at the start though. Go Mean Green!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Three really nice touches for Senior Weekend 1) All ten senior players numbers in big white letters on the field. 5 of them in foul territory going from home plate up to 3rd.....the other five going from home plate up to 1st. 2) Having moms and dads of the seniors all throw out "ceremonial" first pitches......to their kiddos. 3) And honoring WSU's 8 or so seniors....by having our players present them all with one white rose and one yellow rose. (their team colors).....very classy.

      The Freak is No More

      What does this mean for the UNT MGRN Football broadcasts? Back to the Range? Move to Indie? Stay on 97.1 The Eagle? https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/971-the-freak-to-return-to-rock-radio-format-fires-mike-rhyner-19223461?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0zXtMP28HrxpYuJk3RMh5NChxM3J1A8U4HEhIaH8rPvbcbp_x6wXvZbQo_aem_AR8QwvzOxOtEPsHQk2as9eqIjNoX5tSo7au7sOtB67N6Y-5amNndr8ndsyY_VMHXzTWrX5hKgYdBqZPMps4_yhdW
