the only ones that matter to me are the 2 wins over tech and the bowl win. The Baylor win was significant only because they are in the big 12, it was the largest crowd recorded, and it was a total ass-thrashing. The rest are fairly inconsequential, in my opinion. Who cares about beating MTSU? And way to go predicting an SMU victory. Cant ever pile on enough...

ohhh it gets sooo much worse... turn around, bright eyes.... more Eminem, and more dorm room Aggie humor...

I would also like a copy

maybe thats just undergrads? Texas, A&M and Texas Tech are all listed as 37k, 36k, and 20k respectively.

kick ass, I'd buy 2

It could be taken as somewhat bitter... I might consider it if we beat them by several touchdowns. But it would be incredibly embarassing to have that shirt on with a final score of, say, 54-2 (in favor of the bad guys).

seriously? give me a break.

greatness!

even better, it was taken on lake austin...

I grew up watching the Longhorns (as it is where the majority of my family attended school), so I have always favored them. That being said, there is nothing I would love more than to beat the crap out of them on September 2nd! Im partial to UH (used to go watch Klingler and Ware sling the ball around with my dad as a kid), Rice (always the underdog), Ole Miss (again, family ties), and recently Oklahoma (just love their staff and the way they play ball). I also root for Texas teams and anyone playing Notre Dame or Nebraska. Really, I just love college football. And North Texas.

interesting article on the spread offense, viability, etc... "Its the player, not the scheme"

ha, not a chance. NT could beat everyone on their schedule and still barely, if EVEN, crack the top 10. That would require some serious help from Akron, La Tech, and Tulsa- as in they would have to have winning seasons at the very least. Now if NT went undefeated one year, the next year their rankings would reflect it, making the move towards the top 10 a little easier. (as in, it would be easier to go from #24 to #9 than it would be to go from #111 to anywhere near the top 10)

both of the aforementioned schools took higher ranking recruiting classes than North Texas. Thats what I meant by "out-recruited"

thanks! getting out -recruited by UTEP sucks. come to think of it, getting out-recruted by Rice also sucks.

haha, no. its irrelevent who it is, and who it is with. Point is, these are real people that read this stuff, not just internet pictures. soap box, over.

you're right. But I will say this, a friend of mine just got put all over the internet because she was in some pictures someone took while they were out one night with a few 'higher profile' people and reading less than endearing things people write about you, true or not, still sucks. And I have no doubt this thread will make its way to the MTSU cheerleaders, if not already.

thats what I was thinking, where did that kid go?

well, ours have all of their teeth so I dont suppose its all that fair to include us in a debate with candidates from Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama...

yeah thats pretty much the same thing UTA, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, UH, PVAMU, UTPA, and others say every year. Going to the college world series is no small feat. Id be impressed if we even win our conference anytime within a decade of adding baseball.

well, if you had a flux capacitor you wouldnt have to wait. But even if you did somehow find one, you'll still need to find some way to get 1.21 gigawatts of power into it...

I am a fan of Cuban. I met him years ago and he came and sat with our group for a quarter. Its always impressive to turn a team that is a laughing stock of a league into a contender year in and year out. In fact, he is the reason the mavs are the only Dallas team I actually rooted for while spending 6 years up there. Like others have said, he brings a positive energy that is really cool to see. You almost can't help but be excited about the team. I think he will go down as one of the great owners. And as the case in almost every Dallas team conversation, inevitably the Houston bashing begins. So I have to do my part (since this is a North Texas board, not a "Dallas fans or else" board) and throw in a line or two in defense. I would contend that Houston is not in fact an awful sports town. Of course, most people on this board will not listen as the feel it is their duty to spew the same garbage that they have been force-fed since they learned to walk and talk. Come down to a game sometime. Any of them. Downtown is something to see, something Dallas would love to have anything resembling (and thats not just me, thats coming from friends who live in uptown and downtown Dallas who have visited recently). All of our stadiums are actually in the city limits. Novel. Oh and both the Rockets and the Astros have enjoyed more success than their DFW counterparts. The Cowboys superbowls are nothing short of impressive. I think its great, and I hope to someday see one for the Texans. I thought Id see one for the Oilers, but we all know what happened there Also the Dynamo games are a blast and have been packed every game. I guess this is where I say, "fire away". Or you could just try to see it from someone elses point of view ...

neither have I! make your way down to Midtown or Uptown Park and you will find plenty of distractions.

According to the media guide, NT, UL, and Troy's largest crowds were all games against Big 12 teams. Schedule a team people have heard of, people show up. Amazing. They were also all wins. (UL over TAMU, NT over Baylor, and Troy over Mizzou). Also, Troy has the worst schedule I have seen. 4 back to back road games againt FSU, GT, Nebraska, and UAB? They will be lucky to win ONE of those.

Or even ECU, Tulane, or Marshall's budget.

I think this is a pretty good write-up. Perhaps no one commented on it because we all assume we will be a "lock" for a spot in C-USA the next time realignments take place. In the event that we do not change conferences, what is the feasibility of the goals outlined in the 2010 plan? Whats it going to take for us to get to a C-USA type budget? And are our higherups even on board with this plan? I would tend to say yes, as we have committed to building a host of facilities. But whats it going to take to get to the next level? Time? Is the Sun Belt ever going to be more than a bottom ten dwelling league?
