Sanford was with Lamont, Grady, and Esther, and has now gone to be with Elizabeth after the 'big one'. Samford is in Birmingham.

Well sportsfans, the rumor is starting to look a little more legit.

I think it's a sad statement about the bleakness of New Mexico that not even one person realized that was a photograph taken by the Mars Rover.

I think so. Top recruits will now, for their own financial reasons, want to play only at schools that will elevate their personal exposure.

I see Tom's two Big Twelve divisions as a possibility, but probably adding Colorado State and South Florida if they go to 14. I don't see a 5th Texas school being a viable option, and BYU seems to love the Notre Dame-like status and freedom independence gives them. I could also see the Big Ten adding Kansas and Virginia to get to 16 if UVA can get out of their binding ACC contract.

Yes, North Texas needs to improve football, but... North Texas is has won one of it's five bowl games since joining CUSA, UTSA has lost it's only two. And although the series is tied at four wins each, North Texas has won three of the last four. North Texas is competitive for CUSA championships in every other sport, while amazingly, I don't think UTSA has won a single championship, or even a western division championship in any sport in eight years since joining the conference. North Texas has amazing facilities for a G5 school, UTSA has nothing; just an old basketball gym and a covered playground for football. UTSA plays it's football rent free in an aging city owned Alamodome dozens of miles from campus and there's no telling how much longer San Antonio will even pay for maintaining that decrepit money pit. Basically, UTSA is not superior to North Texas in any sport, and is not even comparable in anything other than football.

Blue Horse is correct. The Big 12 would be down to 8 teams, and I could see them adding Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati, Central Florida, and Colorado State to save the conference. Others like Boise State and South Florida will also receive consideration. West Virginia's pleas for more regional opponents will certainly play into the selection process. The AAC will lose the lucrative ESPN contract with the loss of all it's ratings generating schools, and will consist of leftover tiny privates and East Carolina. As for us, no win and no loss. Any possible move would be lateral.

You'll Never Walk Alone, an inspirational song that has been played at North Texas games many years before Liverpool F.C. started playing it. Liverpudlians Jerry and the Pacemakers didn't perform it until 1963, and it became a soccer anthem a decade after it was being played at the conclusion of North Texas games. And the song had even been a hit for North Texas alumnus Roy Orbison

"A thousand in the band" was a claim tossed around on the news when Allen ISD opened their stadium a decade ago. I have no way of proving or debunking the statement. It sounded outlandish but I had no real reason to doubt it.

I love the Green Brigade and expect their new uniforms will look outstanding. Can anyone confirm that this will actually be the largest band ever at North Texas? I know some high school bands are huge (over 1000 at Allen), is there an optimum number, or is there a cap on how many may participate? Some schools like Ohio State would probably have thousands in their bands if they didn't limit how many could join, but those limitations may be a result of available stadium space.

Apology accepted.

Of course his hit, like almost all successful rap songs was a cover of someone else's work, but it was still fun.

Like others have stated, I just cannot see any Division 1 school immediately investing a scholarship on him at this time. North Texas has invested more time researching him than any other school so UNT would probably be his best and most affordable option as a walk-on. Juco ball could be an option, but, if he does not beat out the incumbent, or if he receives even a minor injury, his ball playing days may be over.

He screwed up and got himself into a bad situation. His best bet now is probably to reboot at a juco and prove himself.

I'd invite him to join as a walk-on. Like any other walk-on, he could then have the opportunity to earn a scholarship by outperforming other players currently on our roster.

It's not ONLY winning, it's also university management. There's very little excuse for a Division 1 school with an enrollment exceeding 40K to not be somewhere between 50 and 75 on this list.

We need more gear out here Some people would erroneously argue that it's simply supply and demand. Unfortunately it's impossible to create demand by purchasing the products that are never offered. Much of this responsibility falls on the university employees. And t's just not clothing. Compare the wrist watches and shoes available for North Texas vs the quantity of styles available for smaller schools like La Tech and Utah St. Louisiana Tech accessories and Utah State Watch selection And here's our selection: Maybe our demand really is matched by UNT-Dallas, but I don't believe it's the case.

I love New Mexico. It's a perfect combination of Tatooine and Afghanistan.

I remember Paxton Lynch at Memphis. He set an NCAA record by passing for 7 touchdowns in the first half against SMU in a 63-0 victory. Odd stat is that he only had 9 completions, finishing 9 of 14 for 222 yards when benched.

Pegram pounded right up the middle behind center Clay Bode, but don't forget that Scott Davis rushed for 201 yards himself, mostly cutting to the right side behind All-American Scott Bowles at right tackle. And yes, North Texas won the game 14-7, but also took a knee to run out the clock at the SMU 1 yard line.

Am I the only person who reads those "9 months later..." messages and hears them in his head with a Spongebob narrator voice?

Who on this board would take Benford back as our head coach should Grant fail this season? I would. Benford would have the facilities and the backing at UNT.

I'm serious about that duck pond island being turned into a champions monument pavilion. Don January, arguably one of our greatest golfers and a loyal alumnus that has been incredibly generous with both his time and money, turns 92 in November. How long would we really want to wait?

The link is WaltParkerDrive , it links you to the Blue Lot behind Apogee. Just kidding. I actually just stopped by yesterday to see the new facility. I think it would be nice if the university placed a monument to our 4 Golf National Championships on the 'duck pond' island located directly in front of the new golf facility. Make it a National Champions Park. Four national championships and three second-place finishes during an 8 year period deserves more recognition than it's been getting.
