when i was a student at the University of Tennessee (the real UT), they had student lottery to get tickets to the big games. I camped out for Florida and Miami just for a lottery ticket.

any plans to get updated images/wallpapers for this upcoming football season on meangreenworld.com?

i saw a video a couple of days and several didn't have stripes. are the stripes just for new players?

I kinda feel this steals the thunder from Rick and the university. How did this get leaked early?!

i didn't buy last year's, so this year's title was impressive to me. it seems that EA spent time redeveloping the tackle animations and the blocking seems much improved. also, they did get rid of the radison even though fouts is still there. looking foward to the stadium addition next year. also, they still have Riley as our starting QB... easy enough fix though.

genius. i played on the selwyn carpet.

i am a fan. and if we have combinations throughout the season; it will create some anticipation... atleast for me.

i like it and see it has been a new stadium stample... i hope EA is paying attention as well.

I can't, unfortunately, make the game. Does anyone know if I can watch it? Is it on Verizon?

It seems has though everything bad that happens is the coaches fault and everything good that happens is because the other team allowed it. Can anyone give credit when credit is due? Riley did more than expected tonight. Offense was very powerful. Defense looked real bad first half. But is it possible a coach (gasp) made adjustments that led to no fourth quarter points, 2 turnovers, 2 sacks and a safety? Also, a no huddle spread offense is not meant to be fast. It's meant to get to the line and make the audibles to the D. Tmeouts, no; but ain't meant to be quick. We know Dodge is terminal, but credit some good offense tonight and good adjustments at half. It was a win over a team we should have beat. We covered the spread. Have a drink and celebrate!! Look what happened to the Cowboys after they rallied against a poor team. Looking for a win next win! Go GR33N!! and I'm out

I have been thinking all week just as well that Riley is injured because it would have not been good for him to play at Bama anyways. However, I just heard from a friend living in Kentucky that North Texas is the SEC TV game of the week. Most of the SEC conference will watch this game. He was excited to see Riley in action. When I told him that he wasn't playing he immediately was less interested in the game. In hindsight, what impact would have been for our program to show the high caliber talent we have and can recruit? I'll hang up and listen...

that is a great point T.I. (didn't you go to prison recently?). i also don't think this guy has much "steam", never the less I think anything that brings UNT supporters together should be embraced and talked about. polarization strips complacency.

I wrote Mr. Young an email and thought it would be just as simple to post that as it would to write out my thoughts as they are one and the same. More to come if more comes: Phillip - I came across your website today and can appreciate your concern for the stadium. We surely all have the right to say our side. I, personally, am for the stadium and will not be participating in your petition. However, I am curious about your interest in the University. Did you graduate from UNT and feel your college was unfunded? Do you currently have a child attending and do not want to pay fees? I think knowing you disposition to the stadium would help me better understand your cause. Thanks in advance for your reply. andrew rozell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Andrew: I spent several years as a continuing education student at UNT doing graduate work in piano, without actually completing a master's degree. Having graduated from Auburn University -- the top football school in the country at the time -- I was very happy to find a culture in which one did not have to attend football games in order to demonstrate school spirit. You can see my editorials on the subject on the NT Daily website, last Wednesday, and today, 4/8/09 and 4/15/09, for more detail. I live a few blocks from campus, I am on the UNT President's Council, and I have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship funds for UNT students. My concern is primarilly for the students who cannot afford to pay a $300 per year fee, on top of a 75% increase in tuition costs, since tuition deregulation. I also feel that it is morally reprehensible for one person to be forced to pay for another person's entertainment. Police and fire protection are one thing; a football stadium is quite another. Thanks for your feedback! Phillip W. Young ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Philip - Thank you for your reply to my email and a thoughtful response. I, myself, began my collegiate career at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville before transferring to North Texas. I understand what you experienced at Auburn. However, in my opinion, football was life at Tennessee and demonstration of school spirit was typified by wearing Orange. In contrast, North Texas, maybe in spite of the lack of an established football program, has been able to produce exceptional school spirit across the gamut of school activities. We boast the top public music school in the nation as well as a growing college of business among others. Just this morning DFW radio shows were discussing the future of UNT Law, the first public law school in the metroplex. I disagree with the theory that an additional $300 dollars (if it is even that high) will create a financial panic for our students and families at North Texas. In fact, the students voluntarily voted to have the fee in place, so I don't think the resistance was too high. I agree with you in that one person shouldn't pay for another person's entertainment. I mean, I don't voluntarily pay for the movie ticket of a stranger behind me in line at the theater. However, I feel that the stadium is not simply a large population of people paying for a small population's entertainment. A new stadium could ultimately generate millions of dollars back to the university by creating revenue from attendance not just to football games but concerts as well, new and unprecedented visibility to traffic, Sun Belt winnings from increased recruiting opportunities, etc. I believe Auburn's (just like UT) student school pride is in large part because of its football program, regardless of game day attendance and UNT school pride could greatly increase with a new stadium, not to mention the absolutely horrendous conditions of Fouts and the pollution to run that place. I too live a stone's throw from campus and am involved with the school and my brother works for Denton Fire/Rescue (don't see the relevance of that). My wife has raised hundreds of thousands as well for the school (no scoreboarding needed). Do you think the majority of UNT students are not going to be able to afford an additional $150.00 a semester? Maybe you and I could work together to provide private scholarships to help mitigate the tuition increases if that is cause for concern. That way we are both being productive to the school instead of using extraneous energy to argue a point. andrew rozell

I tried searching the forum because I have seen it on here before, but could someone please post the link to the PDF file of the master plan for UNT? Thanks.

I am trying my hardest to get to the game, but if I can't, do you know if I can watch it on Verizon FIOS? This is not my first option believe me.

you know overall those stats are pretty sad. however, (putting on my goggles) I can see that our run production wasn't bad. especially considering we are a spread offense. if we can even resemble a possibility to run, that will help the QB out with passing. also, the turn over margin is awesome! that represents good awareness of the offense. i don't know what will happen with Tulsa, but I am still somehow optimistic.

I just got in a huge debate with a North Texas alum about the upcoming season. He told me that make the team exciting and he will come and watch. I couldn't believe my hears!! Why isn't everyone must be given proof its worth their while!? Through our heated debate, I began thinking about the upcoming year more than I have all summer. Anyways, what is the word on QBs. Are we going to run out dual QBs? Forgive my ignorance.

I will be there with my wife. Is it DISD night tonight? What do you think will be the attendence?!

i began watching the game (before my wife became ill), but those first two fouls on Wooden were ridiculous!!!

I will be there and I have invited 3 friends (all non UNT alum) to join. how many do you think will show? could we get 4000?

I found this while looking around the net today, pretty interesting. http://www.covers.com/pageloader/pageloade...68.html&t=0 "You got any whatar?"

what package on Dish do you have to have to get that station (447)?

does anyone know what he UNT/OSU odds were? how does OSU compare to UT?

if we win we must score more than 80 i think... so its either UNT 83 - UT 79 or UT 86 - UNT 57 sadly, i think it is going to a close win or a bad loss

game notes are now up http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...;ATCLID=1305122
