Nicely played.

I'd say leave the NFL OT alone. You want both teams to have an equal chance to win in OT? If the coin flip winner wins the majority of the time then what's more equal than a coin flip? Seriously, let's look at some stats I googled. "From the 2000 through 2007 regular seasons, there have been 124 overtime games. In every single game except one (I believe), the team that won the toss elected to receive. And those receiving teams won 60% of the time (and tied once). The dreaded 'lose-the-coin-toss-never-touch-the-ball' scenario happened in 37 out of the 124 OT periods, or about 30% of all overtime games." Stated another way, in 70% of overtime games since 2000 each team had at least one position. What's the problem with that? The purpose of OT shouldn't be to start all over and play another game (as some college OT's seem to turn into). Both teams had ample opportunity for 60 minutes to win the game and OT is merely an extension of the regular time. If a team loses in OT without touching the ball then that means they failed to win the game in regular time, and either their special teams and/or their defense failed to do their job in OT. However, 30% is an awfully small percentage to be spending so much time discussing or worrying about. In my opinion the NFL OT is perfectly fair to both teams. If you believe it isn't fair then you need to stop talking about extending OT and start talking about playing every game at netural sites. The advantage for the home team in the NFL is about double that of the advantage of the OT coin flip.

No, it's where you pace back and forth for three hours with paper stuffed in your pants while someone keeps handing you diet coke to drink. Then you spend the next three hours whinning about what a tough job you have.

Vito didn't write this ... it actually mentions our win.

The writer is correct. The best thing the NCAA can do is ignore the bowls. Setup your playoffs and if the bowls want to be a apart they can come to the NCAA and beg. The NCAA once threw their weight around to start the basketball tourney and ignore the NIT. They can do it again and make this world a better place for our kids and our kids' kids. This playoff idea is exactly the kind I've been wanting.

I want one of those!

I saw "1939 members on facebook" and I immediately thought "Aren't those folks a little old to be on facebook"?

That OSU - Michigan game later this year is looking like it's going to be a real clanker of a game.

Actually it's not that difficult to change. In fact, the Texas Constitution is such a poor document that almost anything done requires a constitutional amendment. The bigger problem would be getting all the UT and ATM alums in congress to even think about those revenue.

Swap UNT and Tulsa and then it works.

September 24th is my birthday. That would be a great present, RV. (hint, hint)

49 of 50 ... of all things I missed Notre Dame. On second thought it's probably a good thing I had Notre Dame out of my head.

When for so many years the UNT administration showed no interest in football why would anyone else?

Bad news for this season, good news for the future (stadium). DeLoach definately will earn his pay this season.

I'm now sure Vitto reads this message board. He's determined to tick off the UNT faithful by working in 2-10 into every story he writes. I can just see it now ... Vitto is writing a story about UNT's enrollment ... "and UNT is expecting to have record enrollment in the fall which is surprising considering the football team had a very disappointing 2-10 season last year." Or ... "UNT is looking forward to getting the law school started which is surprising considering the football team had a very disappointing 2-10 season last year." I can see Vitto's tombstone ... "Husband, father, and beat writer for the disappointing 2-10, 2007 North Texas football team." Geez ... and some wonder why Dodge doesn't seem to like this guy.

Keep them away from the droids or we'll never get them back!

It seems every time I watch a Rangers home game I see an some fan wearing an NT shirt. I always give a little cheer when I see that.

I'm sorry ... did you say something? My eyes keep drifting to the left.

I'm sorry ... did you say something? My eyes keep drifting to the left. If CUSA replaces Memphis who would be their target?

I think it all comes down to the same thing it always does: lack of administration support. If the administration had supported Fry he would have remained much longer and North Texas football would be much better off today.

"It will define our Tech athletics for the next 15 to 20 years" ... I can almost hear the eyes of the reporters rolling when he said this.

Remember when he caught those two touchdown passes right before the half in the first Super Bowl against the Bills? Oh, wait ... wrong playmaker.

I like the idea. Then the Raddison could be torn down ... or converted into high $$$ dorms?

I heard the new stadium will have even better technology ... waterless water fountains!

That makes him a great fit for NT.
