What Division 1 school has a stadium seating capacity that doesn't even exceed it's enrollment? Do we really want to be the only school that fits that desciption? Fact is, most Division 1 schools have stadium seating capacity around twice their enrollment figure. We shouldn't want to start at 70 to 80 thousand seats, but if the plan is to be truly successful, those figures should realistically be the end goal. The issues that have caused low attendance are being addressed. I hope we build the stadium accordingly, and build it correctly for the future.

A 30 to 35 thousand seat stadium would be sufficient for now, but..... only a fool would build infrastructure based only on current demand. Plumm may be extremely long-winded, but he is 100% correct on this point. The stadium needs to be designed and built for anticipated need 10 to 15 years from now. Don't build a tiny stadium which has some ability to be expanded, BUILD A SUFFICIENT STADIUM THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE EXPANDED. Let's use the Royal-Memorial model as an example. Build only the lower bowl east and west seating (probably 20k per side) and only a small amount (maybe first 20 rows) of the north end-zone seating. When expansion is next necessary, complete the bowl on the north end. Then, if expansion eventually becomes necessary again, add that expensive upper deck seating.

That was the grooms-cake from Sound Man's wedding back when the script was on the helmets. It was truly an incredible piece of work.

This seems to be happening way too often in Austin. Is it the players that are recruited or the program that they were recruited to that is at fault?

You're killing me Ted! Is it better than a female extraterrestrial?

This doesn't look like it's intended to be corporate headquarters or even predominantly offices. It looks like it's going to be another huge unsightly warehouse distribution park. Maintaining asthetics is seldom a concern because they don't serve the pubic directly. Of course they serve a purpose, but so does a washing machine and you don't stick it on your front porch. What route will these hundreds of 18 wheelers take to get from Airport Road onto I-35 to Dallas? Be careful what we applaud. I hope Denton can get an actual office park to move into that area. It is directly between a major university and what is becoming one of the busier airports for business owned aircraft. Golf course based communities have also been planned further out Airport Road, this warehouse park would likely alter those plans.

It is going to be on Interstate 35W just south of Denton in the Allience Airport & Texas Motor Speedway area. Bear Fire Resort Who would ever have thought that all those cattle pastures at the Denton/Tarrant County line would someday become a tourist mecca. The Perot Group purchased all of it during the late 1980s and is making some really interesting developments.

Would someone please inform Air Force and Rice that they have been added to the BCS. After all, it must be official since he stressed it with BOLD lettering.

And no matter how they attempt to spin it, every kid knows a wolf will never be able to compete with those cross-state pigs. Who's afraid of the ..........

Maybe at basketball games it's possible, but not at football games. Attendance at North Texas football games (like Louisiana-Laffayette which contracts for the same service) is reported accurately. Accurate attendance counting is contracted with CS Services who handle the figures by scanning tickets at all entrances. I believe that was one of the suggestions by the Neinas group when the program evaluation was performed.

When soldiers from Arkansas have gone to war the common name for them was Arkies. Arkies at war During the Great Depression, Arkies was the common name for the Arkansas natives many of which were relocating to the west coast. Brief Arkansas history including 'Arkies' nickname The name Arkies is fun, marketable, identifies with residents statewide, and has historical merit. The name makes too much sense for them, so they'll probably pick some generic formerly indigenous animal instead.

I thought they should make their mascot the Arkies. Why? Because unlike a traditional animal mascot, it would identify the state college with all of Arkansas. Sooners, Jayhawks, Hawkeyes, Tigers (LSU), Tarheels, and Hoosiers were all nicknames for the residents of the those states based on silly (often derogatory) stereotypes from historical incidents. Arkies would be great for Arkansas State and would help them steal a little thunder from the Razorbacks.

Happy Birthday George. Thank you for all the support that you have given to our UNT community throughout the years.

This shouldn't be a concern. Nebraska and Oklahoma have each had their tails handed to them in conference title games but still made the BCS championship game. Oh, and mark my words.....It's Syracuse that's going to the Big 10. It fits the conference Great Lakes footprint, especially since the addition of Penn State, and it also delivers the eastern market.

Ah, look how cute. Our newby is a troll.

I think there's a good chance that Dickey will be the interim head coach at USU towards the end of this season. When your team is bad and you hire for offensive coordinator the person who directed the last ranked offense in the country the previous two seasons, well, it may not be the best formula for career longevity.

People smirked on this board a year ago when I stated that Johnny should redshirt because of his broken hand. I said that having low receiving numbers was going to seriously hamper Johnny's chances of catching on with an NFL team in 2007. Well, it's already ben proven that he wasn't given a serious chance with the first NFL team he signed with. Whad would Johnny have been able to do in the Todd Dodge offense? In retrospect, would he, and the North Texas program be better off if he had redshirted?

Per Rivals.com: Hearne, Texas, receiver Forrest Rucker has made quite the impression everywhere he's gone this summer. He impressed at Oklahoma State, Baylor and at North Texas and also had Miami and Missouri very interested...

I have to give Notre Dame credit for not being sniffling cowards like our regional Big 12 neighbors. Notre Dame has the courage to play home & home games against it's opponents while the coward schools all try to play 7 or 8 home games every season. 2007 Football Schedule -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S 01 GEORGIA TECH S 08 @ Penn State S 15 @ Michigan S 22 MICHIGAN ST.

The cowards fans wouldn't like the rule, but it's the right thing to do. The NY Yankees make more money than any othe Major League team. Should they therefore get to play all their games at home? Sports are sports, they are supposed to be competitive with a level playing field for all contestants. Only cowards who aren't willing to understand sports want the the advantage artificially tipped in their favor.

For obvious reasons, I hope that whoever is in charge of these does everything possible to keep the price as affordable as possible.

There is no reasonable excuse for any event to start at 6:00 on a weekday. Doing so just seems so Helwiggish, and I hope those days are long behind us.

We had tailback Reggie Finch from Irving MacArthur in the late 1980's. Corky didn't think Reggie was ready for the Southland so Reggie was placed at Oklahoma for a coulple of seasons.

Thanks, but I do want it to be known that I support the Exes in their endeavors. The activities need to be available to a larger percentage of our alumni, and I do believe that it's blatantly inconsiderate to constanty hold events when common knowledge tells you that the majority of the invitees cannot attend. The Book of Seinfeld chronicles this as an unvite. It has happened too often and the masses are voting with their pocketbooks.
