An epic and heroic effort, worthy of respect! Thankful to hear of safe arrival.

But the fact is, that situation IS going on there, and certainly not the only similarly shocking example. The flooding of thousands of homes is a devastation, that apparently is too much for you to imagine. It IS happening though, not a media created spectacle, and yours is one of the most insensitive and witless comments I've seen posted by anyone about it.

Given where we've been, if this bears out, my giant flagpole will go up.

That is humbling. Thank you for helping to keep things going. So many factors influence the university's direction. I don't understand all of it but I feel somehow the eagle will rise.

My hope would be that if Littrell has moved on it is for the right reasons and we have made great succession moves. Though I realize history is not on our side.

I agree it would be a great trip, but we have a long ways to go to make a decent showing against that kind of team. I don't think 2 years would do it so I am not too sad to see it pushed back. Long as it doesn't mean more games with Liberty.

Right that's what got Harvard and others to the top.

Why bring notoriety to espn drivel that is paid for by the SEC to keep everyone else down? North Texas jumped over 50 spots in this year's Forbes college rankings released earlier this month. Sure that still leaves us at a lowly 500 but it shows both how far we have to go and how far we can go. I find it to be one of many very encouraging steps. Why put up a picture of someone hanging their head? It's a tremendous challenge elevating a university weighted down by its past. DRC is not helping with this kind of thing. Did you sell out too or something?

I expect at least one NT score by way of a safety.

A great combination of looks. Love the green helmet.

I didn't know about Georgia State reconfiguring the old Braves place downtown. I knew the Braves had left for a new place in NW Atlanta though. It makes sense since the university is on that side of downtown. I've said before it would be good to be in a conference with them. We should shed the LTs, WacKYs, SoMiss and Marshalls of the world in the process.

That hundredaire plan is looking better and better.

Very impressive! Congratulations and best wishes for success in your new role. Very happy for you.

And don't forget about our Rivalry with Liberty.

Pretty impressive convincing by Ryan since he doesn't even look anything like The Real Lucky Whitehead.

FAU is now Last Chance U too, for coaches.

Has nothing to do with it. They will literally be out of our league before long. Don't get too attached.

I get the desperation, because the only rival we could have is Houston and we may never get to be in a conference with them. But trying to make something out of UTSA is even sadder than that. It's not going to turn into a thing so please stop.

You don't see a reference to Roxette everyday.

I agree with Mailbox's objective expectation that we should see a well-coached competent Mean Green team this year that will make fools out of the Blazers, which are teetering on the edge of foolishness anyway with one of the worst team names of all time. The issue is that we don't really know what we're going to see. The range of possibilities is pretty wide.

I don't know how this can be - maybe the medical school - but it is: UAB as an institution is on an entire higher level than NT in terms of reputation. But this year their football team is picked to finish last for a reason. Honestly though I was surprised we got put as high as we did.

Just because SMU and TCU use acronyms is no reason to use an acronym. I hate to see the university promote it and I think it's a bad decision on their part every time I see it. It takes away from my connection with the university. Stop doing it. If some people happen to refer that way, no problem, but the university should NEVER do so or otherwise encourage it as they have been. It's ok to use in the fight song, but stop using UNT in print.

What.

But see I can't tell if it's going through the circle or if its body has been grotesquely transformed into a circle.

Those years included my glory days and I have to say I was never big on the logo. Its melding of organism and design always left me confused about the creator's intent.
