I'm guessing that we can't afford to bring back Jeff Rodgers for this position. He's having quite a career in the NFL ranks.

In what many had seen as a rebuilding year, this North Texas team is already able to battle the best teams of CUSA.

There's an old hunchback that lives up there. All kidding aside, they should eventually change the tower lighting to incredibly bright LEDs, and have a remotely operated timer that someone in the AD triggers after every victory. The new top of the Super Pit should also be covered with LEDs. That place is DARK, and there is no way of even knowing that an event is taking place.

Of course I want the NCAA Tourney, but if its NIT we get, it will be great to have the home crowd for every game. .
