Also of note... There were extended times that Tiger Stadium got pretty quiet and it wasn't simply because they were all just tired from cheering too long.

Also, did anybody watch the "DIY Beer Bottle Bookends" video on the right side of the comments? Step 1: Fill 2 empty beer bottles with water Step 2: Put a cap on each Step 3: Place beside books This guy should file a patent!

No mention of Hilbert Jackson? Didn't he have a pretty good game?

I think you are referring to Bill Utter Ford

According to the story, Coach Mac might eventually have to get a replacement (glass) eye. In the unfortunate case that it does result in this, maybe he'll consider this option, at least for game days!

There's two threads going about getting the stadium filled. I think it'd be good to target the 10/16 ULaLa game for one of these. On a Tues night with national TV should be a good way to get tons of students at the game.

It'd be really cool if it swooped down and carried off a Peruna

Wow, I completely misread this. I'm gathering from the other posts that this was some kind of ANIMAL mascot (bulldog I assume) that was found dead. I was thinking it was a HUMAN (i.e. costumed mascot) that was found dead. I don't do Twitter and couldn't infer from the original posting that this was a dog.

You guys should have seen some of the small school fields (at least back in the 80s). Literally fields. One place we played was essentially the edge of a pasture and about 1/4 of the field was solid grassburs. You would be covered in them after a play.

Has anybody heard an update on how Scott is doing?

I wonder if he's going to change the helmets to "Tejas Norte"?

Good points, but don't forget, we also wouldn't have had Dodge-ball. More importantly, our helmets wouldn't say "North Texas"

Hoping for a speedy and full recovery for one of our best QBs ever.

I think Marshall falls into this category.

If you click on an earlier entry, you'll see Kansas is at #95.

I think the plan is to insert an additional spacer in the middle of the bridge. This will be located right in the center of the eagle, giving the bridge the new name of "The Spread Eagle" walkway.

An Eagle??? Mean Green??? No, no, no, no!! It has to say North Texas. How will anybody know what school they're driving by?!?! Sorry, just can't keep beating that dead horse.

Looks more appropriate for Miami U.

Maybe the guy who thinks that it's SO IMPORTANT to have "NORTH TEXAS" on the side of our helmets so everyone knows who we are should contact these people and inform them who we are. My point is that if we continue presenting an icon (helmets) that is so closely similar to NORTH TEXAS STATE then we are going to continue to have this problem. When we are referred to as NORTH TEXAS, it's really easy for legacy minds to fall into the NORTH TEXAS STATE phrase because it flows so naturally. We should be presenting ourselves as UNT. Hopefully we can get to a level of national exposure such that people will recognize us by UNT (similar to USC). With that said, I was in school during the name change and I have a hard time not referring to us as North Texas. I rarely use UNT, so I'm just as guilty. And no, RV, I don't want to change the helmets to say UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS. Put the d*** logo on them (either Mean Green or SOW) and refer to us as UNT everywhere.

Nah, not me. I've got my sights set on something better than the N.O. Bowl!

I like the uniforms, but HATE the helmets. Looks like a bunch of english peas running around. "Go Mean Peas!!"

I walked into Apogee with my ticket in one hand and a water bottle in the other. Scanned ticket and waved me through.

I didn't see a corn dog stand. Did anybody else notice one? IIRC they weren't at the first game last year either. Need to get my c-dog fix at the games, so I'm hoping they have them in the future. I got a coke and hotdog 20 mins before kickoff and there was almost no line. Price was reasonable too.

And can be used as a beer funnel after the game!

Or the opening kickoff return. I'd like to hear how loud it sounded during that run. I was so amped up, I thought I was going to pass out.
