I have a few games on DVR that I went back and looked at. Alabama, Kentucky, and UNT all had the cameras on the home side. I seem to remember Army having the cameras on the home side as well because you could see the trees around the Hudson over the shorter visiting side stands. However, Western Kentucky does have the cameras on the visiting side with the logo on the 50 facing the visiting side (verified on DVR). I'd never thought about it before. All that said, I'm pretty sure I was told by someone in the Athletic Department that the logo would actually be facing the home side. Also, the virtual view of the stadium, which is more recent than any other renderings I've seen, has the logo facing the home side: http://www.seats3d.com/ncaa/university_north_texas/football/ One other note, the overhead doors in the middle of the pressbox at Mean Green Stadium are for the TV cameras, so footage of UNT home games will be from the home side.

Confirmed for June 11th is All-Conference lineman with 4 bowl rings as well, #59 Weston Thaggard. Thaggard is a 2X shirt and still has those happy feet he always made useful. If anyone has a cowboy boot they don't mind beer being drank out of you might be able to talk the UNT players to enjoy some good times as they did at the steak pit on Bourbon street as they ran out of cups to serve the beer in! I know of 3 or 4 posted players that drank out of that boot!

The cool thing about this, is that the University could only afford turf to the 30 yard line. But with Empire's new promotion, we can afford to cover the entire field. Just call 1-800 588-2300 EMPIRE. Today.

I just think it's funny how many people on this board complained about the Green Brigade during the season and how much a joke the Bleacher Report is, but now all of a sudden the Green Brigade is the greatest in the land and the Bleacher Report is a respectable sports news outlet. I respect the Green Brigade and they add a wonderful piece to everyone's game day experience, but I know when to stop the praise. Just like I love UNT and bleed green, but you're not going to hear me calling it the greatest school in America anytime soon.

If you listen to other schools' radio broadcasts, you'll note that they have post-game radio shows that go an hour or two. Coaches, players, former coaches, former players, local media-types, national media-types, etc. get in on the action. The current UNT post-game is what...30 minutes? Now that we have a real coach and stadium, can we have a real post-game? Sadly, we've got one of the best broadcast booths in the business. But, it's like they have to squeeze information down to fit it into this tiny post-game time slot. Is there no radio station that can pick it up some kind of extended post-game show? Post-game show. Radio. A longer one. Whew...I finally found something to complain about again!

Is this a new phenomenon? I've never played at or been to a stadium where the logo faces the visitor's side. Come on guys. Go look at images of Amon Carter and Ford stadium, both have their logos facing the home side where the press box and suites are located.

The reason is for television. Typically the television cameras would be on the visitor side of the field so the home team and the stands behind the home team would appear in the shot. Therefore, the mid-field logo would face the visitors.

C-O-L-L-U-S-I-O-N, JUST ASK THE KANSAS CITY ATHLETICS HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO STEAL MARIS AND HAND HIM OVER TO THE CHEATING YANKME'S BACK THEN... JUST ASK... CHEATERS THEN, AND CHEATERS NOW. REDONCULOUS F EM p.s.: I once saw a guy walking around with a t-shirt that may be the greatest ever... it had a figure of jesus on it...and the caption at the top of the t-shirt said "Jesus hates the yankees"... that about sums it up for me. GO MEAN GREEN

Cute. I've been a Yankee fan since waaaaay before the recent titles. I can say that in all honesty, unlike all the recent "lifetime" Ranger fans. As to Eppy's question...nope, ridin and dyin with the Mavs (Nice to do some ridin and not so much dying these days)

The best band in the land will sound even better in the new stadium, with inevitably better acoutics than the old stadium. Things will just get better in ways that we haven't even thought of yet.

Here we go again.

As long as they don't try to tell RV about the power of feathers on a shoulder.

Performing "Texas, Our Texas" would be great. But I don't believe the lyrics should be modified. I find it incredibly disrespectful when the national anthem is being performed at Dallas Stars games, and when they get to the "whose broad stripes and bright stars" the crowd yells "STARS!!" Likewise at Houston Rockets games at "and the ROCKETS!! red glare." The national anthem is performed as a tribute to our nation, not to celebrate a sports team. If the Green Brigade does "Texas, Our Texas," it needs to be done as a tribute to Texas.

Nothing is "100% sure" in intelligence gathering operations. You sound like the idiots who said Bush was 100% sure Iraq didn't have WMDs. My god, listen to yourself and the leaps you will take simply because you disagree with Pres. Obama's ideology. Just because he doesn't think the way you do doesn't mean he isn't doing what he thinks is best for America (as wrong as he may be). Just because you differ politically doesn't make Pres. Obama evil (a lesson many on here need to learn about Pres. Bush, also),

The scoreboard is hard to read in the black and white photo of former Mean Green Coach Hayden Fry being hoisted on his North Texas football player's shoulders following probably still the greatest win in North Texas football history. Had the Mean Joe Greene North Texas team in 1968 beat Frank Broyle's national championship contending Razorbacks (as was said to have actually been the case other than one of the worst homer calls in history) that game would have been our greatest all time win since a few weeks later the Hogs would host in Fayettville Darrell Royal's Texas Longhorn's for the NCAA National Championship game in what back then was called "the Game of the Century." Amazing how close North Texas came to beating one of the Top 2 ranked schools of that season. Back To Knoxville & the Mean Green: The Southeast Conference University of Tennessee Volunteers had a 6 & 5 record the year our Mean Green beat them in Knoxville on their homecoming with a late 90(?) plus yard kick-off return for a touchdown by North Texas' Sears Woods. Remember This On That Day, Too? ABC TV college football broadcaster Keith Jackson on the game he was covering the day we played the Vols kept going back to "that Hayden Fry's scrappy Mean Green team" score several times as I recall and then announced to the entire NCAA college football world that the mighty Mean Green had pulled off the upset. Of course, had there been as many bowls back during the year of our huge upset win, the Vols would have been (at 6 & 5) a much coveted bowl team especially with their history of traveling fans; of course with more bowls back then North Texas would have had its first bowl since the 1959 Sun Bowl game during NT's Abner Hayne's era. Tennessee with their 6 & 5 record the year we beat them were hardly considered a chopped liver of a team by any means. Question: To you at that game or who listened to Bill Mercer call that game, do you have any ancedotes to add to that Big Day in North Texas athletic's history? Or even some tidbits about our near upset of #1 ranked Arkansas the day we had that one stolen from us from one SWC ref? Another Question: And, uh (clear throat)...where was TCU during all this time during our Mean Joe Greene & Hayden Fry eras at UNT? Answer: Strangely & amazingly enough, they were not to be seen on the UNT Mean Green football schedule for either of those 2 decades, that's where they, uh, weren't. GMG!

--Some films should not be remade... the original is too good and the times have changed greatly and there is no point to modernizing it (if that is what was attempted) .

YANKEES SUCK..... Thats why in my book they are know as the SKANKEE YANKEES

REview from the internet (bad words replaced with words of my choice): http://deadspin.com/5048029/cheering-for-i...jamboroo-week-2 New Metallica Video Review Metallica released their new video last week for “The Day That Never Comes”. If you watched the Packers-Vikings game the other night, you couldn’t have missed the Obama-damn song, because it was all over the telecast. Every time Metallica releases a new album, I refuse to get excited at first, only to then get sucked into the whole “Well, it COULD be their return to form!” mentality that is always, ALWAYS Ted Kennedy'n wrong. That was especially true this go round, as the band had finally ditched longtime producer/barnacle Bob Rock and gone back to their old, taint-kicking logo. FUCK YEAH! Surely, Rick Rubin could get another magnum opus out of them! It’s gonna be just like Puppets! Right? Wrong. This song sounds like a Vince Young local band trying to write their own Metallica song. The cribbing from “Fade to Black” is so blatant, the band could sue itself (and will likely do just that). Worst of all, James Hetfield is still under the impression that he can sing, and holy Republicans is that not true. Goat-molestin' Rick Rubin. You’re a guru! You can’t grab Hetfield by the balls and tell him to go back to BARKING the DNC'n lyrics instead of trying to croon them like every song is the chorus to “The Unforgiven”? FAIL. Reader Sam R. sums it up best: “The new song makes me want to kill myself for than ‘Fade to Black’ ever did.” Indeed.

I've been amused by this site for years now. John really does have a rough life.

One of their band members recently took an advertising class on campus. Maybe we can play that up. They played in the arena during the NHL playoffs from the bench and it was just nice to have them back.

He died on the way back to his home planet.

The guy who wrote the Metallica CD review has apologized for jumping the gun on reviewing the album - here's his full take: “The End Of The Line,” by Metallica. It was in this space last week where I reviewed the video of Metallica’s “Day That Never Comes,” off of their new album. That song blows. But I made the mistake of assuming that song represented the style of the rest of “Death Magnetic.” I was wrong. I was way f***ng wrong. Rick Rubin, you are a gd saint. Bob Rock, you deserve to be trucked out to the Arctic and left for dead. Metallica is finally a thrash band again. Rubin must have sat the band down and told them, “Enough of this gd Lynyrd Skynyrd bulls**tt. You’re f-ng Metallica, you f-s. Now go play the kind of music only f-ing Metallica can play.” Then I bet Lars got all uppity, and then Rubin had to punch him right in his stupid f-ng mouth to put him in his place. At least, that’s how it all goes down in head. Hammett’s guitar solos are back. The crummy yet lovable production values of “…And Justice For All” are back. Hetfield’s angry bark is back. This album isn’t as good as the band’s first four albums, and a couple of tracks suck (the lead single and “The Unforgiven III,” which is the heavy metal sequel equivalent of Rambo III). But at least the band f-ing sounds like Metallica again, and that’s all I’ve really ever wanted from these a**holes for the past two decades. Between this album and reading ”Watch You Bleed: The Saga Of Guns ‘N’ Roses”, I feel like I’m 12 years old all over again. Time to go stick my d*** under the tub faucet!

Some teams invoke a 24 hour rule for big wins.. at UNT we need to invoke a 24 YEAR rule. Ok, it was a big win. Can we move on?

First, no one was suppose to have had to guess at anything. We were told that the administration watched the event unfold live. That was the purpose of the famous photo op of all of them sitting around the table with Hillary holding her hand over her mouth. Then we find out there was actually a 25 minute black out canceling that claim. Second, the only negative outcome that could have occured had things gone bad or had OBL not been there, would have been that U.S. soldiers were either wounded or killed. Nothing more. How can the international political fallout for actually going in and killing an unarmed muslim in a muslim country be worst than simply going in and not finding him and exiting stage left empty handed? The fact is we had people there watching him for nine months. Obama knew this yet he still took 16 hours. It must have drove the intelligence community bananas waiting for the go. The truth will come out some day when one of the heros who were actually there tells us about it in a book, and I'm willing to bet they were 100% sure he was there, living in squalor waiting to be taken dead or alive. And by the way, as of today: Eric Holder: U.S. will still close Guantanamo Bay Rick

Eric Holder, made the statement about Gitmo today in France, not Obama. Talk about stupid arguements? Rick

Despite being called stupid, an idiot and a conspiracy nut in this thread I'm still trying to think it through. You know, get my mind right. 2008: Unilateral Strike Called a Model For U.S. Operations in Pakistan Wow, where was the "International Consequences" for this one? 2010: U.S. Military Seeks to Expand Raids in Pakistan I'm starting to see a pattern here. A pattern that tells this "conspiracy nut" that the U.S. led operation to kill OBL last week wasn't our first rodeo in Pakistan, and had it failed it would have simply infuriated Pakistani officials...........again. Rick

...but not like they used to play.

It's like every day I get progressively more ticked off your +/- button is gone.

This is one fine logo! Can we put it on a white helmet, or can we design it to work on a green helmet. I really like this logo.

Foat Wuth, ah luv yew! GMG

Yeah...sorry, but there is no way the Green Brigade is the best band in the nation. I'm sure I'll get -1s for this, but no one of this board can say with a straight face that we have the best band.

I must have been watching a different band during the football games because we are no where close to having the best marching band....unless....did we get lumped into the high school category?

27 world titles. Nuff said. And spare me the "payroll" argument...nobody knocks IBM or Coca Cola for hiring the best and brightest they can. It's a business.

Mantle, Marris, Howard, Ford, McCarney, Berra, Pepitone, to say nothing of Yankee greats from the past. When i started watching baseball, there was no Rangers, no Astros, not even the Colt 45s. Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese told me all I needed to know about baseball. And it was spelled Y-A-N-K-E-E-S. GO MEAN GREEN
