  1. Let's hope we can win this one.
  2. I hope we can beat MTSU. I am not sure we can. This team is too much a roller coaster. Way high against SMU and way low against Tulsa and Akron.
  3. Nothing on the Miami website. No list of practice squad players anywhere. This as of 9/20
  4. UNT did play some games at Texas Stadium against bigger schools in the past. I am sure that costs UNT a lot of money to do that though.
  5. And good service. I throw darts at a bar in Dallas. The waitresses are indeed HOT there. But to get a beer or get a waitress to take your order or deliver your order is impossible and unacceptable. I am about to look for another bar next season. Bad service is a death blow to a bar. Bad dartboards are a death blow to a dart bar.
  6. Signing with an agent or endorsements has a lot to do with it. Players can't "sell" something in the process. Look at all the college sports games. They can't even put the player's names on the jerseys or mention names.
  7. YYyyyyy...no.
  8. I can't invest, but I would definitely go there to watch games and be around UNT stuff. I play darts too. PLEASE have an area with dart boards and stuff. I can help set it up. There is a dart league in Denton and if you keep a good area, change out the boards when they get beat up (VERY BIG PET PIEVE WITH A DART BAR), I am sure you can get a good crowd every Monday night when they have league. If you like (and my work schedule cooperates) I can help set up and run dart tournaments on weekends. Good advertising and money payouts draws a good crowd.
  9. Also, Zbikowski's boxing career is completely different from his football career. I think there have been other football players that played minor league baseball, received pay, and were not in violation of NCAA rules. Bomar's case if just flat cheating from back in the 70's and earlier. "Come play for my school and I will pay you $XXK to water the Astroturf...." That wasn't all the booster's fault too. Bomar should have been smart enough to know that it is a violation if you put in a time card that says you work 40 hours at a job and you didn't work 40 hours and you play football at an NCAA school. The NCAA can't do anything about the booster, but they can about the player and school.
  10. Not enough seating for the tu fans. Fouts holds 20K or so. 19K of that would be burnt orange. Royal Stadium holds 70K? 80K? They can pack the fans in.
  11. I think we are catching up from being a Div. 1-AA school for most of the 1990's too.
  12. I am not normally one to follow the "fire Dickey" crowd, but I can see this season being a Make or Break for Dickey. With the outcry for the OOC record, the failures of last season, and the high expectations of this season, I can see North Texas looking for another coach next year if this team falls short. I like DD, but I am not sure he has control of this team now. Hard to tell. He isn’t one to rant and rave on the sideline. That look works for poker, but fails for football. Some times you need to get in a player’s face and let him know he is not playing to expectations. A coach needs to scream at his team when they play poorly. DD doesn’t do that…at least not in public. This isn’t “corporate America” where you “praise in public and chastise in private.”
  13. Schools get more recognition if winning the Belt. The SBC shares the bowl money so the pay out would be about the same winning the conference or not. We would get some recognition by OOC upsets, but not as likely to happen and recognition for that week only. You get a trophy for winning the conference...nothing for winning OOC.
  14. I hope I am off crutches and out of my cast in time for that game. I REALLY want to go.
  15. Came accross this job at SMU in Career Builder. Would be a pay cut for me. Even at the high end it would only be a VERY SMALL pay increase. Not worth it. Information Systems Specialist (Reference #509) Plus not my line of work.
  16. DEFINATELY all of the above.
  17. Not crying over that one. Oregon almost choked that one away too. Oklahoma had a FG try blocked as time expired. Very close game.
  18. So long as no one else wants to recruit him....
  19. Haven't heard. If not, subscribe to the Mean Green Athletics and watch on computer.
  20. The punter should get kicked off the team for being STUPID.
  21. Now THAT is the stupid part.
  22. Great picks. I will be more recovered from surgery by the next home game on the 30th vs. MTSU. Hope to see everyone there. If I can just convince my wife to go...and stay for the whole game.
  23. I was at work at EDS doing telephone technical suppor. I had no TVs around. People were coming around telling me about what was happening. I took a break and when to a TV. Terrorism was already given as the cause. All I could say is "how can people do that?" I do not have a problem with movies and stuff to "immortalize" the day. I am sure United 93 and World Trade Center are good movies. I skipped over the news about the day. I just am not in an emotional position to go see them. I can’t explain why. I did not lose friends or relatives in the crashes. I just can not watch the events of that day. I could not watch the events to commemorate the day Monday. This is in no way disrespect for the men and women of the fire departments and police departments. I respect and appreciate them far more then I can express.
  24. SI's Rick Riely did an article on that and the Stadium Budy (a way to pee w/out leaving your seat). Ice Cold Beer Comes Out Here? 6/26/06 The Beerbelly website
