I doubt SMU will wind up in the WAC. It's more probable that they will end up in the Mountain West, but I guess the WAC may be possible, especially if they need to cancel football.
-
SMU may wind up cancelling football alltogether if this Pac 12 deal doesn't work out for them. Very sad.

Thank you for the illustrations on how to correctly build end zone facilities. I know an academic facility is important, but like a washer and dryer, you don't need to put it on the front porch to show you have one. Put the Academic Center where it belongs, and then put stadium seating where it belongs.

When we bring back baseball who will we hire as the coach?
ADLER replied to Jonnyeagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
I believe there are more urgent requirements than hiring a baseball coach. And I think that I am the only person that doesn't think that North Texas should be building a baseball stadium. It's time for the City of Denton and Denton County to step up and build SOME amenity designed to enhance the lives of North Texas students as well as the city/county residents. The University of North Texas is by far the community's largest economic driver and the students are a huge part of the city's tax base, yet the City of Denton and Denton County have never built a single ammenity for the school. In fact, all city parks and recreational venues are intentionally placed at a significat distance from the university so that students are not the primary users. Denton is the seventh most populous county in the state of Texas, and the ONLY top ten county that has not built a minor league calibre baseball stadium. Even the economically depressed City of Edinburg and Hidalgo County were able to build an expandable 4500 seat stadium which they ceded control of to UTRGV. It's way past due for Denton and Denton County to make a similar investment to their intentionally underserved taxpayers. UTRGV Stadium A North Texas Baseball Team will certainly be fasttracked incredibly quickly whenever a stadium project is launched. The stadium would not need to be on campus but at least somewhere in the proximity or close to the square. -
New Basketball Arena proposed on Light the Tower Masterplan update
ADLER replied to NT80's topic in Mean Green Basketball
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Dear Football Gods, NO! ... Do something that adds to our stadium, not just enhancing the office amenities. This location is WAY TOO VALUABLE real estate to waste by desecrating it with this limited vision project. This design is so SJSU. Find some other place to build this unsightly shed and it's 50 seats. It looks like pre-fab housing. The principle reminds me of when you'd see shacks with washers and dryer sets placed on the front porch. "It may be unsightly as hell, but we too have got one". Why not something like Tech's revised endzone football facility which is also designed to fit between their stadium and their athletics facility? Theirs is designed to be an integral part of their stadium unlike our proposed abomination. (We can do better, much, much better) -

Oh, we wear Green and nearly win by double digits. Wow, what a turnaround. OK, what about our men? They are one of the best road teams in the country, having only lost a single conference road game at FAU, and that was because we were stupid enough to wear black for that game. We played at Charlotte tonight, and that's a team we absolutely toyed with 67-43 earlier this month when we were wearing Green and White. What was the result in tonight's men's game?
-
What happened in the North Texas women's game tonight? Charlotte absolutely destroyed us in humiliating fashion earlier this season when our women for some reason wore black uniforms.

Grant didn't Pick Up The Pace? Get A Rope! Grant and the team are doing their part, honestly, more than their part. It's up to the athletics department to promote the successful basketball program. There are some very simple items to correct. North Texas Super Pit Here's a photo outside the Super Pit at night. How does anybody ever know there's an event there? You have got to make it be an event before people will want to attend the event. .

PAC is negotiating broadcasting rights with AppleTV. Apple TV deal will be adjusted along with defecting legacy PAC schools. Future looks quite bright indeed.

Much like Mattress Mac, Al reached out to the university and was incredibly generous. Both donated quite a bit of money, each over a million, and were committed to future projects: All wanted to sponsor teh return of baseball. Then they encountered a nasty problem. Thankfully that ugly problem moved to SDSU in late 2010 but the damage to relationships with many of our larger donors had already been done.

Well, at least Kentucky knows it's school colors in a big game. Karma sucks.
-
Yes, that looks like crap, does a poor job of representing their university, and SMU should wear them every week.
-
Adler is surviving (at least trying to) a week of Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Half day to recover, Bacchus Ball tonight. Yes, any other colors being blended with our school colors looks trashy. It should never be allowed to happen. That is also not SMU's better look. I know it's a marketing ploy, but their blue jerseys with S M U above the numbers and red horse logos on the helmet are iconic and immediately recognizable on television. SMU does also have an 'all black' uni and it too signifies nothing and looks just as trashy as ours.

Please review the situation. We won in spite of the obvious. We were playing against a very subpar team who is 9-13 against Division 1 competition and who had an extremely easy OOC schedule, That team was crippled by losing it's best player and leading scorer Coby Williams, as he was removed from the team just a day before, With two minutes left in the 2nd half, La Tech is playing gawd-awful and shooting only 46% from the foul line, The referees have called 8 fouls against North Texas and just 1 against Tech at that point of the game, And "Conference Championship Contender" North Texas was only leading by 4 points. Make this same mistake against competent competition and we can kiss goodbye any chance at the Big Dance or NIT. And for any doubts, please review the same thing in last year's final regular season game at UTEP. We played like we were cursed, lost by a basket, and that one loss kept us from getting an at-large invite to the NCAA Tourney. Nobody should be upset with the win at Tech. We should all be gratful we escaped with a victory in spite of the mistake. .

Shorter has amazing tenacity, especially when he gets close to the goal line. He's tough as iron but he does take a pounding. There are times when I think his fighting for additional yardage leaves him vulnerable to more hits with some of them being injurious. Not meaning to be untrue to my Texas roots, but there may be times when it's beneficial just to step out of bounds.
