Even though I don't need to, I'm crossing that thing on the 16th.

I don't know about that, we haven't really faced any decent trumpet players yet. This week will be a good test. I will say, we have a TON of depth at the trumpet position. Literally 40+ (I think 50) trumpets. So we've got depth at trumpet, which will come in handy in the 4th quarter when people's chops start to get tired.

I'm transfere certain you're right.

GL2Greatness, let's end this once and for all: http://colleges.usne...of-houston-3652 http://colleges.usne...lleges/unt-3594 UH is ranked #184, UNT #203. (You have to subscribe to US News to see the rank, that's why it says Rank Not Published, if you click for more info you see it says from 201-299 we are ranked in but I have a subscription from my mom. So either way UH beats us here.) UH has a 63.8% acceptance rate, we have a 64% acceptance rate. UH has a far superior endowment than us, mostly based off their legendary law school. Ain't much money in the music and teaching biz. But this is an obvious one. UH and UNT have the same exact student to faculty ratio. UNT has a 21% 4 year graduation rate, UH has a 15%. At UH, 15% of the student population lives in dorms. 19% live in dorms at UNT. 70% of students have cars on campus at UH while 34% have cars on campus at UNT. Same high school counselor score UH has an 80% freshman retention rate, UNT at a 77% UNT has a 49% 6-year graduation rate, UH with a 46% UH has 21% classes with 50+ students and UNT 19% classes with 50+ students UH and UNT are pretty much identical for graduate students, a 1.9% difference, UH better, and UH is located in the middle of a city around people who can go back and get their degree without driving to Denton. So what do we learn? That UNT and UH are pretty much IDENTICAL in academics and school experience, except UH is a commuter school where as UNT is...kind of...not so much anymore, but still has a bit of that. UH is better in one thing, UNT the other. I grew up in Houston, UH IS a commuter school and the only reason I didn't go there was because I wanted to leave town and be on my own. UH is a FAR superior football school and NOBODY IS DEBATING THAT. UH is slowly becoming more integrated with the town like UTSA is because of their football team and their recent massive rise in academics and I applaud them for that. But it's still a commuter school. If I didn't want to get away, I would be a Cougar. It goes both ways. Great and excel in different things. Would I go to UNT over UH for a law degree? Hell no. Would I go to UH over UNT for a music degree? Hell no. Would I go to UNT over UH for a business degree? Hell no. Would I go to UH over UNT for a hospitality management degree? Hell no. Would I go to UNT over UH for an engineering degree? Hell no. Would I go to UH over UNT for a education degree? Hell no. But please, go on about how none of the stats I have posted matter as you always do. I can do the same for TxState, if you like. You know, GOOGLE OBVIOUS STATISTICS.

It's the water in the Apogee urinals that drives potential fans away.

Holy Jesus I was about to go off on CBS, this is a Football ranking.

Reading the article, I really saw nothing untrue about it. Only thing I would say is I don't remember anyone ever promising a massive increase in attendance because of Apogee. If someone can show me where anyone in the administration gave some kind of specific increase in numbers promise, then I take that back. I don't remember seeing that in print.

How'd it go? Crushed it.

If you ask me, creating multiple accounts to troll for the mere mention of your long dormant handle is the IDEAL way to show off your aloof, badass detachment to a bunch of bush leaguers on a joke of a board. Well M'Fn done.

This thread has everything. Accio FUN! My patronus is still a keyboard and my apologies to the extraordinary gentlemen of YAC once again for stopping awesome stuff like this thread. It's not the internet we need, but the internet we deserve.

Section 123 for me. Few rows behind Army of Dad. Between him letting the officials have it when need be and the talent that will be on the court, it will be a very entertaining season. ***Long time reader - first time poster***

i'd give it a tie with Mavericks v Golden State.

Called Texas Southern Division II. Anytime someone doesn't know the difference between FCS (D-1AA) and Division II they lose credibility in my eyes.

On a serious note, does anyone thing that our flute players are going to be able to cover their trumpet players. A couple of those trumpet players were 4* recruits according to Billboard magazine.

That hasn't stopped you before

Mommy, where do all of those horrible comments on YouTube challening people to fights and talking about rape come from? My child, Denton by way of Houston apparently.

No utsa is not legit. But they are building their program the right way. Ive said before and ill say it again NO BODY BAG GAMES.

Here are a few notes Says he likes the way the players respect the coach (benford) " Every player has to stop his office daily & talk to coach. He spends a lot of time with them and respects his players. He is the Style of coach I want to learn from" Talks about trying to follow in the footsteps of Tony Mitchell

So sorry. Does this one work for you? Jacob Abels

I expect a full-blown photojournalistic criticism of their play, marching, numbers and uniforms.

I'm fine with it. Stoning halftime show should increase attendance.

Furthermore... Even if this author has a point - which they do, actually - bottom line is were we committed to D1 ball. If not, then we should have kept Fouts and dropped down to D1AA. Simple as that, this was about a commitment to D1 ball. Our acceptance to CUSA is the payoff here.

So it will match the top of the Super Pit?

Hey...if we can devote a thread to every time Todd Dodge lands a job or drops a load we can keep up with the events surrounding a coach who resurrected a program instead of burying it.

Nope. I believe the main structure is weathering steel which is a low alloy steel that "rusts" to a point and then no longer corrodes. This outer layer of rusts keeps you from having to maintain the weight bearing aspect of the structure - no painting, no sand blasting etc etc every few years - and more importantly no damage to structural steel over time.

thefirstrow.eu then click on American football. It has never failed me. I watch tons of games on there every Saturday for free.

No shortage of those around here. Ah, the glory years days hours

They're going to paint it, right?

TEAM MF'ing HAYMITCH!!!!

Thread is pretty good. Not enough SMU and UTSA updates for my tastes, but it seems like we're getting quite a bit accomplished. The internet is serious business.

We all know where this thread is leading... http://boards.housto...ber.php?u=22181

Me and six others.

UNT > uofh

Oh damn, Idaho, that would be a marquee win. I don't even think Idaho fans know they are FBS

Bulletin board material for Tony? Is coach Marlin saying he cant score 60?

So, if I am reading you correctly, my disapproval of the insertion of MF into our fight song qualifies me as immature? Guess the definition has changed over the years.

Rice is very beatable. Assuming the worst against the best teams in the WAC (that is to say 0-3 vs La Tech, SJ St, and Utah St) that thing could be 8-3 headed in to the big finale against . . . Texas State. So a very legit chance to go 9-3. As far as exposure? Well lots of national media types are tweeting/writing up puff stories summed up thusly: "Hey, would ya look at that?" I mean, look at this thread, even. After we beat up on Texas Southern, lots of students and Generic Fans were were excited about the win. Only the die-hard cares about the ranking of the opponent. The good news is that we get to take on the likes of South Alabama for a little win-column padding of our own.

Cwb - couple of run-on sentences there, but I think I got all the typos and misspellings at least.

I was just coming on to post about buying them myself. First time season ticket holder. Looking forward to it. GODDIEGOODIEGOODIEGOODIE HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!

Denial: avoiding reality by denying its existence. How many schools from small conferences made it to the big leagues by playing the hardest teams they could schedule? Boise is the poster child for how to get there nationally. From 1999- 2007 how many top 25 teams did they play (not counting bowls)? 4 two were conference games. When they beat Oklahoma in the Fiesta bowl, that was the first ranked team they had played that year. They went 13-0 and they were the only undefeated team. They were ranked 5th & got the only vote for first place other than Florida - the national champions. They got there by winning. They didn't get there by having season after season wrecked by body bag fiascos. There are dozens of small conference teams that continually play money games year after year. They are stuck on a treadmill to nowhere. We need to build a winning tradition.

Cougar King Douche Bag Now I don't care who you are, that's funny.

It's funny KRAM, but Republicans are lining right along with that Boogeyman Man Obama in condemning the timing of Romney's words. Care to explain how our President is also responsible for THEIR condemnations...or is that not politically convenient?
