The problem is only Vito is assigned to cover North Texas. He has been busy covering the bball teams, and I would assume that he will be at the SBC tournament this weekend and miss out on all of this week's practices. The new sport's editor doesn't seem to do too much, so maybe he could cover this in Vito's absence. An email campaign requesting coverage might help to let them know there is a demand for spring ball coverage. rgoodall@dentonrc.com is the email address for Russ Goodall.

It appears that the green uniform is Addidas. Didn't notice any logos on the white. Football is sponsored by New Balance. Don't most schools go with one equipment/uniform provider?

Yes

I've been quick to criticize his public demeanor in the past and will be quick to praise him. This was a great gesture and I wish the young man the best in his recovery.

I agree. Blount caught 30 passes for 427 yards and 5 TD's in 2004.

Craig Robertson Houston Chronicle

Maybe UTA could fund a message board to discuss this.

I don't know, but why would you ask on a North Texas athletic's board? I'm about worn out with the UTA talk.

He should fit in nicely with Fran.

The Ladies lose Bobo, Mireles, Williams and Wilson. Other than Bobo who has really been that big of a contributor?

I emailed the Air Force AD this afternoon, and he replied that they would be coming to Denton on September 12, 2009. We shall see.

Has this already aired?

Running track.

Maybe this is all speculation and no one has the facts yet.

Being the top QB is Delaware is the equivalent to being the top 6-man QB in Texas. We'll still hammer them.

He also posted that it would be in Provo and that RV turned down a "home and home." I find this hard to beleive.

Or lack there of.

I agree, but my original response was to this quote: I'm not asking the university to go overboard, but to not put us in the position of playing catch up facility wise in the future. They should build something that won't need renovations in the next few years. Build nice facilities that will attract the athletes to make us a success from the beginning.

Coaching has historically been a "good ol' boys network." This isn't the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last. I like his attitude and am curious to see how that translates to the players.

Do you think SHSU, which is in a D1AA conference, should have nicer facilities than North Texas?

Sorry, but this is the attitude that got NT in its current situation. Why shouldn't we want nice facilities from the start? Don't you think the better recruits want to play in the nicer facilities? Seems to me that this attitude sets us up for a catch 22 situation.

SHSU Softball Facilities

They cost $35 to produce.

Is the softball field really that bad? I haven't been by the site since I moved to Houston. Maybe that explains why there haven't been any new construction photos since the tennis facility was completed. After all the touting of the new facilities at the Mean Green Village, I would be disappointed if they didn't meet expectations.

Unfortunately, crime in Southwest Houston is at an all-time high. Want to guess where a majority of the refugees/evacuees are now living?
