I don't think you burn your redshirt by playing in the first two games. I think you can even play in the third game and maintain your eligibility to redshirt. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

I disagree. 40,000 should be the starting point and not the goal. What Division 1 school has a stadium with less seating capacity than it's enrollment? Doesn't every successful program have a stadium that seats roughly twice as many as the school's enrollment? Why should North Texas be the exception? Plan for success, and then make it happen.

I like the "a student referendum to increase athletic fees per semester from $120 max to $240 max". If North Texas were to do that we'd have a 16 Million budget before any tickets were sold, a single donation was accepted, or any games scheduled. No more need to schedule "money games" and we'd be in charge of our own destiny. Greatness could be achieved. FIU and FAU have enrollment figures similar to North Texas and have large student contribution rates like UTSA. Budgets like that made USF and UCF competitive within a few years of initiating football. USF has already been accepted by a BCS conference and UCF has built a beautiful new stadium. No longer are those universities thought of as small-time schools. There is real value in those investments in athletics. It's the window through which the rest of the world views the college. I hope Dr. B is aware of the steps that other schools are taking to become competitive. Hopefully she can help guide North Texas to do the same.

Troy Phillips Ft. Worth Star-Telegram 12 September 2007 …UNT-SMU could resume Officials at UNT and SMU are comparing dates for potential games in a new UNT-SMU series. Saturday marked the end of a two-game nonconference series between the schools, but both sides are interested in a longer deal for five or more years. "If we did anything, it wouldn't be for a couple of years," UNT athletic director Rick Villarreal said, adding that both schools' 2008 and 2009 schedules are full with contracts completed or pending. UNT plays at LSU the next two seasons and at Kansas State in 2008. Air Force plays at UNT in 2009. UNT has a home-and-home series with Rice in 2008 and 2010. One undisclosed opponent in 2008 and two in 2009 are expected to sign contracts soon, Villarreal said.

Hat, sunglasses, muttonchops, and the conspicuously absent blue shirt..... but that didn't stop my kids from recognizing Anthony Field of the Wiggles.

Mesa airlines flies round trip from Dallas (DFW) to Jonesboro for around $220. The flights are on little 20 seat Beechcraft turboprops and make one stop each way, but it beats the heck out of making that journey by car. Don't wait too long to book if interested, I believe there are only 2 flights per day on this route.

Maybe this would be a good game for all the GoMeanGreen.Com fans to show our support and appreciation.

A lot of fans will be in the Metroplex during the Thanksgiving holidays. Hopefully some will head to UTA for the game Wednesday evening.

The Green Brigade was outstanding this week. The green polo shirts looked great. The Brigade played to the North Texas side instead of facing the empty home field side. The music selection was good and presentation was far superior to the tinny Fiddler on the Roof dribble provided by the Smoo Kazoo Crew. The weather was incredibly muggy; still 96 degrees and very humid at 11pm. I am happy that the director had the foresight to have the Brigade wear the shorts outfit.

Yeah, it's a lot like honoring Enron executives for the outstanding job they did cooking the books before the big crash. Those asswipes were cheating and destroying the integrity of the game. Only SMU would ever honor such trash. Shame on them. Somewhere in the world A Kenneth Pye is spinning in his grave.

This is comical. By 1982 Helms had lost all credibility, that is, if it ever had any to begin with, and the poll disolved after that season because of rabid disinterest. In the polls last eight years it was marred by confusion and had awarded 12 different national champions. It was nearly as highly regarded as the prestigious Three Drunks at a Bar poll. Face facts SMU, these ass clowns that you are honoring for their farcical National Championship are the same people that caused your program to go... BELLY UP

.... and SMU has been using Grapevine's for years.

filmerj, ...yore, your, and you're may sound alike but they have different meaning. TEXAS!!!

Kenny Cooper, a 6-foot-10 center, has enrolled at Louisiana Tech and is transferring from Oklahoma State. Cooper is a product of Monroe's Richwood High School. He spent the last two seasons playing at Oklahoma State. A year ago, Cooper averaged 4.7 points and 3.1 rebounds for the Cowboys. Cooper will have to sit out this year but will be eligible for the 2008-09 season.

You want to get these young players some time during the first couple of games because it doesn't affect their ability to redshirt. I am sure that's a reason that Coach Dodge stayed with the standard offense throughout the game instead of just trying to run out the clock. He wants some of these younger guys to get real game experience running their offense against top competition. It was a gutsy call but it made the final score look uglier.

UNT Notes 12:15 AM CDT on Thursday, September 6, 2007 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer Briefly … Senior running back Jamario Thomas did not practice on Wednesday.

This further proves the fact that: The North Texas game is SMU's SUPERBOWL. There's a reason why something like 78% of all SMU fans listed the North Texas contest as their most anticipated game. The success of their whole season depends on a victory next Saturday.

Look, let's face facts. 1) That girl is OSFA. 2) She will probably be able to turn this publicity into endorsements. Look what the scripted "is it fish or is it chicken?" quote did for Jessica Simpson, or what the scripted canned recording incident did for her sister.

Yeah, rumor is that he had it several times and had to keep going to the Student Health Center for penicillin. Just kiddin' OGG.

I heard from inside sources that this song was replaced this year in favor of a new, ALL ORIGINAL fight song. It's played to a dancing, fire breathing, Scrappy. Here's the lyrics: Scrapp the Magic Mean Green Lives in little d And frollicks in the Autumn mist In a land called UNT It's all original, because, we don't imitate any college!
