UNT90

There is no way the bands would agree to play with the distractions of warm ups going on (not to mention numerous safety concerns). The type of bands I am talking about have a following and aren't just your local kids playing at the neighborhood bar. There has to be something in it for them. Now, if you suggest a concert 2 hours before the game, that could work, but those only interested in the concert would be long gone before opening kickoff, and the goal is to draw more fans for the game. It would almost be a seperate event. The key is this offers the Football program the chance to have access to a potential fan base that wouldn't be exposed to UNT footbal without the concert, and offers the opportunity for the band to get their music before new people who wouldnt normally attend one of their concerts. It's gotta be a win-win for both sides.

Impractical. Students wouldn't be interested in 3 or 4 songs. The band wouldn't be interested in such limited exposure, and the AD would't want to pay for a full concert and only get 4 or 5 songs. And I am talking about the concert being inside the stadium immediately after the game, just to be clear. Again, you are trying to target students who may be willing to attend the game in order to see the concert. I don't necessarily expect families to hang around for the concerts. These concerts would be especially effective this year when we have several 2pm home game times.

You know what decreases home runs? Good Pitching. You know what increases home runs? Poor pitching. Everything else is just an excuse for a pitcher who is pitching poorly.

Not only that, but it would be a good way to forge a bond with Alums (the band) who have potential to be big donors to the program some day.

This is only partly about football and attendance. This would get the event staff prepared and praticed for events at the new stadium. This would get the AD personnel accustomed to dealing with this type of event (contacting bands' reps, logistics, affordability, what will attract the best crowd). I don't care if students are allowed on the field or not. I don't care if some sneak in after the game is over (they are college students, after all. I'd be disappointed if they didn't try). Not aimed specifically at you Emmitt, but it seems some want to revel in the dispair that is UNT events instead of looking to the future and how they can be improved. It's easier just to bi%$^ and be negative about everything. Yes, winning is the only thing that wiil bring people to the games for the game, but there are other ways to get people into the stadium.

Since we will soon be moving to a new stadium that will hopefully double as a music venue, why not start the concerts after games this year, using bands that we can afford but also have appeal to the students, hopefuly increasing student attendance? Maybe even bring back some bands that got their start in Denton as UNT students and went on to big things. Bands like this band: http://www.eliyoung.net/bio.aspx Yes, students may not come in until after halftime, but so be it. This is very doable and you may even get a break from ex=students willing to help out their old school. Keep the bands geared to the students at first, and expand from there.

The only way miranda would apply is if the FBI were interviewing a US Citizen about a crime committed inside the US. That is most likely what Bush ordered, hence the "certain detainees" in that quote. It would make no legal sense to expand this to non-US citizens committing crimes outside the US and being detained in a foreign country/ Didn't even read the 9th Circuit's BS. They have embarrassed themselves for years as the most overturned circuit court in history.

With that, I assume you would be fishing in party cove? Please drop that thing in Lake Granbury. That would just about bring the lake level up to full.

I don't buy the argument that the "Texas heat" zaps a team in July or August. If the Florida Marlins can win it playing in that humidity, there is no heat excuse for the Rangers. I think humidity is a heck of a lot more draining than heat.

Back to back shutouts. If only the hitting could match the pitching. Wow...am I living in an alternate universe? 5 1/2 up on SEA 5 up on ANA (still playing).

Where is the link to this cat's Rivals page?? Yes, I'm lazy. The link posted says he is a "gritty off-guard". Such suspense.

I was personally hoping for a real point guard.

You may not get that chance. The last stimulus package was voted on and approved before it was ever read. This wil be pushed through the same way.

Hell yes she is making political capital out of this. That doesn't change the fact that Dave served up this political capital at about 70 mph, belt high, and right down the middle. I wouldn't vote for Palin in any Republican primary, and pray to god she is not anywhere near the nomination in 3 years, but that doesn't change the fact that Dave or Dave's staff has got a Palin obsession (whether it be Sarah or Willow) and intentionally stuck their foot in it, big time. Dave could have put it to bed with a sincere apology, but I guess he really needs that ratings boost.

Continue to live in fantasy land. Seriously? Your quoting Time's TV blog in order to prove a conservative politician was treated fairly? Dude. I don't want anyone else to think anything specific, just to think.

On a message board? Noooo, really? *sarcasm tag* So you think they confirmed everything about Palin's trip to NY except who she brought with her? Well, good for you. Just because there is no proof doesn't mean a reasonable person can't look at all the facts and decide that something happened (otherwise very few child abusers would go to prison). Did anyone see Matt Laurer giving Palin the third degree about her "Pedo Dave" comment? And giving her the 3rd degree about defending her daughter? Watch it and learn about the left media. Never questions Dave's responsibility in any of it. And he works for a competing network! Stupid joke for which an apology should have been issued. Stupid subject which amuses me.

Replace UTSA with UNT and San Antonio with DFW and this statement makes just as much sense.

There is absolutely no doubt that Letterman's staff (if not Letterman himself) knew exactly who was at that Yankee game. If you believe they didn't, then you would believe they researched and found that Palin was in town, they researched and found that Palin was going to a Yankee game, that they researched and found that Palin's daughter was also attending the Yankee game, but they just happened to miss the fact that it was a 14 year old girl. Didn't happen. They knew, they thought it was funny because Palin is who she is, and they ran with it, and then they were disingenous and dishonest in their so-called apology when it caused them problems. Gee, seems someone would have (and most likely did) call the CBS News Department and find out who was attending the game with Gov. Palin. If you believe they didn't know exactly who they were talking about, you are EXTREMELY naive.

6'4" or 6'2"?? I wish they would just tell the truth. I like that he was described as gritty. That means defense to me.

Stay away from your bookie!

The 4 words I thought I'd never say this year: This offense worries me.

Are you talking about Pres. Bush or Pres. Obama? Seems this would more apply to Bush since he had no media support, bad approval ratings, and no Hollywood status. Just sayin.

And you really believe his staff and CBS didnt know exactly who was at the game? PU LA EEESE. He knew exactly who he was making the joke about. Surely you are not that naive. The kids should be off limits.

Jezz!!! The way this forum has been going, I took one look at the title of this thread and thought our President had been arrested!

TSU has on campus students, a relatively college-based community, football tradition, and a new on-campus stadium. All reasons they are more of a threat than UTSA, which isn't saying much. Maybe I misunderstand your last sentence, but surely you aren't suggesting that UTSA can compete with UT? If you are talking about them competing with us, they are light years away. It will take one heck of an administrative effort to move that program at the speed of light. I just don't see it.
