    They certainly changed the game with that cannon, though it was not a change for the better. Well it was better for the rest of us.

    This is all part of the University of Central Texas’ plan to develop ‘Regional Rivalries in the new reality of college football’!

    The ACC. With global warming, the North Texas region could be coastal. Louisville got in.

    I wish they had not put such a cruddy looking floor with the eagle. They should put a smaller eagle in place of 'North Texas' on the one with the building.

    That's a cool story; thanks for sharing it! NT pride!
  6. Aquila_Viridis
    It's a disaster. There's nothing to keep the chickens from getting out.
  7. Aquila_Viridis
    Absolutely. As for 'splitting the market' with SMU, who cares? The market is several times bigger than most other 'markets'.
  8. Aquila_Viridis
    Yes to MW. Only home games matter; those are better brand opponents.

    Neither have the Panthers lately! Well it was about all they could do to get a program together. They are probably struggling with the reality of the commitments needed to be competitive in the sport now. But I think they will get it together and be an asset. Unless we can get to a better conference, they’re a better match for us than most of the other schools at our level.

    Charlotte is one of the best things NT has going in this conference we call home. Eventually they will build out the tiny stadium. They are about the only member that has any upside comparable to NT. By the way they are a founding member of the conference and consistently ranked as a better institution. Don't hate.

    I am just not gonna complain about the TV; all I can think of is how much better the schedule is than the 2009 schedule.
  12. Aquila_Viridis
    What a cool honor and great recognition. Also, cool hat!

    Well if he can make it a year or two without any of their poor girls having trouble, Liberty will be prepared to offer him $5 million per year.

    I wonder if Rendezvous was better back in the day. At this time Commissary, Central and even Corkys are typically better. And I’m not coming down there to TX for anything other than brisket. Don’t even try eating any brisket outside your state. Over here in NC now and I don’t know what they are doing. I found one place where the people are from Houston and at least they have a good sauce. But yeh in MEM if you had to put sauce on a rib something was wrong.

    Now don't crap on Memphis or compare. It's apples and oranges. They don't have your region's traffic for example. And there are plenty of nice areas to live in that region; you just don't go to the bad areas. I guess you don't have poor people and criminals in the North Texas region? And the BBQ, they have pork ribs and you have brisket. The two are just not comparable. Their main problem is they don't have a Chuys.

    Next the University of Central Texas will take it to the next level and schedule spring-game type fall games against themselves.

    Rice does not appeal to the kind of students who want a big sports program etc., and even if it did, many of them couldn't get in. They are in rare air academically. When I was a student, NT certainly did not appeal to most students who wanted all that, but for different reasons. The art and music programs were much more relatively prominent then. Of course those are still excellent programs, but other programs have risen and grown. Growing the sports program has been a serious uphill battle externally and internally. It wasn't that long ago Rice was kicking us all around. May that never happen again!

    There IS a conspiracy. It consists of SMU, TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, A&M system and Texas system and their respective brand managers, legislative champions and lobbyists. If you don't believe so, you are naive. Every day they are working in some way, not always in concert of course, to advance their interests at our expense. Now that maybe doesn't have anything to do with this particular headline. I expect that has more to do with the paper maybe thinking the university isn't doing what it should to support a local business. They may even have a good point.

    Does it stand for Aggressive As F****?
  20. Aquila_Viridis
    I think he meant to say 'the North Texas region'. Still, seems like a good decision on this hire.
  21. Aquila_Viridis
    Most 'news' content, whether print or online, is bought somehow. I have to look at several sources from their different angles to synthesize a fuzzy picture of what might be the truth. Maybe the NT print advertising budget needs a supplement?
  22. Aquila_Viridis
    I should clarify that my respect level for the coach who wanted to hire him, has NOT gone up. I'd expect after his public clash with the administration, that he will eventually find his way out the door.
  23. Aquila_Viridis
    Like it or not, UH is a step up at this time. But we have narrowed the gap a lot.
  24. Aquila_Viridis
    My respect level for SM, which by the way was not particularly low anyway, has gone up.
  25. Aquila_Viridis
    So happy to have Patrick Cobbs on the NT team again!!

WE BELIEVE IN THE MEAN GREEN!
