Trust me dude, the pills don't work. Your $49.99 is better spent elsewhere.

well I mean UTEP got a deal with UT... so you know, with a new stadium, we might could get a UCLA, Auburn, Clemson type in town with a 2 fer deal. I think with UT/OU and soon Tech/A&M playing in Dallas, the odds of us getting any of those teams into Dallas (much less Denton) just got significantly lower, approaching ZERO.

me too. I think we just missed Pancake day. I had a prior dinner engagement, but if I hadn't, rest assured I woulda been at the IHOP, enjoying those crack-laced syrup sponges.

I'm not sure KSU represents much easier a challenge than Miami. Both teams ended the season in terrifically awful fashion, losing 5 of their last 6. KSU, however, did show a little something in games against Kansas and blowing out Texas on the road. Plus KSU returns a lot of their players, including their beast of a QB. And who is to say we couldnt have worked out a way to play both KSU AND Miami?

Im not sure we really did come out ahead. Sure, we've got an extra 100k, but instead of playing at Miami for their inaugural game, which would likely be highly publicized, we're going to Manhattan, Kansas for a routine Big 12 opponent. Maybe I'm alone? Personally I would have much preferred being a part of that history. Then we could have been the last team to play a regular season game in the Orange Bowl and the first to break in the new one. Of course, this is easier said in hind-site, as we had no way of knowing they would be unable to find a suitable opponent. Im just sick of LSU.

That's more like it.

Im just saying, whether you like it or not, your bar has been set pretty high (HEY-oooo). We've come (giggle) to expect a lot from you (giggity)...

too easy...

I prefer the GIF version...

Must've had a few more Mean Green fans sign up for subscriptions....

Is "crackish" an adjective?

That actually doesn't surprise me!

If you haven't seen them live I don't expect you to understand (and I'm not talking about a 3 minute award show blip). The guy is a talented musician. He plays several instruments, sings, writes, etc. I respect people that do their own thing. I'm not really interested in getting into a generational argument over the history of rock music versus the new stuff- we all have different perspectives and opinions. I like a lot of old rock bands, but I don't enjoy listening to the same music over and over.

thanks, fully aware of all this. At the risk of hanging myself out to dry, I was a Business Economics major. My point is simply to say, the guy is half-right in saying one element of what has allowed UNT to grow into the third largest school in the state is the fact that it is competitively priced. Other factors affect incentive to attend UNT, (the perceived value of a UNT degree) include the degree programs offered (and relative prestige of said programs), geographical location, and a host of other factors (like having a family member there). If UNT cost 40k per, the enrollment would decline severely. People would go to other state schools. Where he is wrong is assuming lower prices attract a lower-caliber consumer, or, student. Which earns him a "Douchey" award.

Uhhh Im not sure what economics courses you guys took, but price DOES affect demand. It's an inverse relationship. As price increases, demand decreases. If pizza cost $400, the demand for them would certainly decline. Wouldn't matter how many pizzas you made, at $400, people couldn't afford them. They would instead opt for some other food. Which is what happened with the Yugo. If the Yugo had only cost $50, a lot of people would have purchased them. However, that was not the case. It was more like a $400 pizza. The iPhone was successful because people were willing and able to pay $400 for a phone. Hence, the price didn't affect the demand or perceived value. In this sense, Apple found their price equilibrium. Also, the idea that more quantity supplied at a lower price creates demand falls apart with when applied to UNT football. FREE tickets are not incentive enough to fill out the student section during many games. In this instance there are other factors that affect demand. You have to create a product that gives people INCENTIVE to attend games (wins, notable opponent, pride in school) that's value is perceived to be a worthwhile way to spend their time, meaning it is greater than the the opportunity cost of what they could be doing (yard work, TV, homework, etc). That or you'd have to pay them to show up (lower price even further). Personally, I vote for the former.

those are some some nice posse pics...

It doesn't matter how many times you say this, people still don't get it. There is still a faction on this board that believes people should want to come to any game UNT is playing. Well, maybe so, but it isn't realistic. That logic doesn't even work for UT fans. I'd much prefer traveling to DFW to see us play Tulsa, SMU, Air Force, whatever... than I would ULM. or ULL.

under-appreciated

I cant stop watching this. The music fits with it perfectly. Not only would you have to be a pretty seasoned sky diver, you'd also have to be comfortable base-jumping... and of course, a little crazy.

gonna have to disagree with you... the Foo Fighters are one of the best rock bands out there right now. Best live show I've seen. Dave Grohl is a god. I think Kanye's a tremendous talent, he's just an arrogant prick. Im bored of conference talk.

he also clearly stated it was purely speculation on his part Im glad he's gonna be here. No reason not to. I have a feeling next year's gonna be special

I hope Vizza stays, I think he could really be special for UNT. Count me as one who is not all over Riley's jock. He might be a good player for us in a couple years, but I think Vizza can get the job done next year.

losing Ealey is really unfortunate, in my opinion. If you'll remember, http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...3.46beb2de.html

correction, looks like he ended up at UTEP, but not sure. I dont have a Scout.com membership. Scout Profile

did he get hurt during practice?
