Whatever happens going forward, Littrell has my support. Guy's doing it this year with smoke and mirrors.

Eh, I'm happy for any G5 program not named SMU or UTSA to have that kind of success. It keeps ALL of us in the conversation and delays the eventual Division 4 just a little bit longer.

Best I can tell is that is was proposed in 2013, but not enacted.

I could've sworn the the NCAA made a rule against that not too long ago.

Wasn't me. Cancelled that our for ya.

There's a forum specifically for this in the Ticket Exchange. I don't post this to chide you, but rather because people actively do go searching in that forum for tickets.

I do not miss a track around the field like that.

In absence of other former posters, I hope they lose by 70.

It's a pretty safe assumption that when I use the phrase, "TheWren™," I've got tongue firmly implanted in cheek. Not everything you see on the internet is a dead serious proposal.

I think Barry Alvarez has stepped in at Wisconsin football a time or time. Why not TheWren™ in basketball?

I wonder about that. From what I understand, Benford has recruited great talent. He just has no clue how to coach it. I don't watch basketball, and the only player I can name is Combs, so I may be entirely incorrect. I'll leave it to the experts to confirm or deny.

Enough with the hijacking. Upon further research, and posting as such, I was partially incorrect. But we're delving dangerously close to politics on this and losing sight of the topic of the thread at hand.

In all honestly, I've only been to one NFL game in my life, and that was quite some time ago, so I couldn't tell you if players stood or not. I did go to a whole bunch of baseball games, and players definitely stood there. Whether you believe Snopes to be valid or not is up to you, but it appears that prior to 2009, it wasn't required for teams to be on the field, but neither were they confined to the locker room. It was up to team discretion. I personally don't care. I believe that pledging one's allegiance to a flag is as personal a matter as pledging one's devotion to a god. Neither should be mandated by league, advertising dollars, or social pressure.

Ah. Not a member of the alumni association. I thought this would be something from the AD.

Where is this offer?

OK, so without somebody jumping in with the inevitable, "BECAUSE RV!!!11!!!11!!!1 ELEVENTY ONE!!!!" Why not just make this an exhibition game instead of pissing away a regular season game on it? That doesn't make any sense to me.

Does this game count on the schedule or was it exhibition, or was it one of those weird UNT counts it in the W column, but anybody related to rankings/tourney selection do not?

I am cognizant that I'm treading on forbidden content here, so I hold no grudge if mods want to delete this. NOBODY stood for the national anthem before 2009.  

29 point dogs on the road to a team that's probably better than LaTech. Ugly early and often. Hope the refs are at least better.

So you're saying we actually beat another FBS school out in recruiting and flipped a commit? I sense a disturbance in the collective force.

This is a really good point. When I moved to Texas to take over the territory, it took a year to get people to even talk to me. When I finally got to that point, and they trusted me, they came to downright rely on me.

Their email servers are picking up keywords and sending form letter responses:

I actually went out of my way to be polite, acknowledge that LaTech was the better team, and uses boxscore stats to back up my assertions. I didn't say that the refs were bad. I said that they weren't uniform in enforcement and I thought some of the officiating wasn't up to conference standards. That I hoped they would review the game and make corrections, IF NECESSARY.

Took me forever to find a box score, but email sent with stats to back up assertions.

It's not a UNT football game until I've got Tony's balls in my mouth.
