Hourly posts on the Mountain West and CUSA forums promoting the fact that after the game, we'll have a fireworks show as part of our grand unveiling of The New Seneca Wallace.

Could it be the helmet stickers? WKU's helmets have PASSED US BY.

Foster has played AAU ball with fellow North Texas 2013 recruit Leyton Hammonds. Several of the articles listed under Hammonds' recruit listing also mention Foster.

Includes the following assessment: TexasHoops article from the Elite 14 identifies Foster as a 3-star prospect (not yet updated?) and lists offers from: North Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona State, Creighton, and Houston, with additional interest from Baylor, SMU, and others.

From the article: July 2011 writeup identifying Hammonds as a potential Big 12 caliber sleeper. Hammonds reportedly attended a season kickoff practice at UTA (similar to the practice John Odoh attended when he committed to us in October). Hammonds played on the losing side of the July 2011 GASO (won by a Texas Assault team that included recent NT signee Clarke Overlander). Hammonds tied Overlander for leading scorer in the game, with 14 points.

Now that we have two incoming recruits officially signed to LOIs, the 2012-13 scholarship situation looks like this: Clarke Overlander - Freshman Chris Jones - Sophomore Jordan Williams - Sophomore Trey Norris - Sophomore Forrest Robinson -Sophomore Tony Mitchell - Sophomore/Junior? Alzee Williams - Junior John Odoh - Junior Jacob Holmen - Senior Roger Franklin - Senior Brandan Walton - Senior Niko Stojiljkovic - Senior Justin Patton - Senior (pending academic eligibility) Depending on how the situations for Patton (academics) and Mitchell (early departure for the NBA) develop... We may have a full roster of scholarships already set for 2012-13. I expect we will likely end up signing 1 more player during the spring signing period. Spring signing period begins April 11th.

Shouldn't be a problem for at least 2 more years.

On holidays, I always set a place at the table for him. Just in case he shows up.

Things like this are what warm my heart on this Roger Franklin Day. Has any other fan base ever been so fortunate, ever before? Would anyone even be able to answer that question?

Historically, they start playing Tony Mitchell music the day after Roger Franklin Day.

I'm going to be in Denton for the Men's game. BUT, to celebrate the spirit of renewal and breaking away from the past... In honor of Karen Aston Day, I'll be tearing a binder in half and flushing it down the toilet.
