Now there's a recruiting incentive for TCU. Win our conference and go bowling.....at home.

Walter Payton played at Jackson State, so I guess he really wasn't that good considering the conference he played in.

Our football team also garnered the university positive front page news in USA Today, something many of our excellent academic areas have never done. Further proof of Dr. Pohl's statement that "athletics is the window to the university," or something to that affect.

And the exterior of Fouts didn't even look that bad, although all they showed was the picture of Mean Joe with the "Fouts Field home of the Mean Green" above him.

When are the schedules typically released?

Howard Schellenberger's Stats Years As Collegiate Coach: 20 Collegiate Record: 126-98-3 (.562) At Miami: 41-16 (.719) At Louisville: 54-56-2 (.491) At Oklahoma: 5-5-1 (.500) At Florida Atlantic: 26-21 (.553) I just don't get it. Personally, I think Schellenberger built a reputation at Miami and hasn't done much since. He's a good name and a good marketer of his program, but is he really considered a great coach? Just my opinion. Fire Away.

I hope you are bringing a crowd from Burleson, including that Pee Wee football team that would be the perfect age for the Jr. Mean Green Club. Welcome to the board.

Awesome honor. Congratulations to Ms. Richards for representing North Texas as one of our finest.

I like the fact that today USA Today is covering the Mountain West Conference. Nothing on the front page of the paper regarding this and you have to really look for the coverage in the Sports' section.

How about a ? at midfield?

I heard the rest of the endzone will be done in a nice copper and blue motif.

If that is the real Fouts in disguise from the Baylor game, where are the "5,000" Baylor fans and their pretty yellow shirts?

Stebo, I too will miss Fouts. I remember the cinder track and thinking how awesome Fouts looked when they installed the new track. I also remember the steeplechase water pits beyond each endzone, the evergreens that are where the erector set bleachers are now, but most of all I remember and greatly miss the peeing wall.

Yes, and I also realize that Pilot Point, Collinsville, Tioga, Whitesboro, Princeton, Era, Sadler, Southmaid, Callisburg, Lindsey, Muenster, Nocona, Valley View, Ponder, Justin, Drop, etc... are towns, but I didn't want my PMGish idea to be PMGish in length.

First off, let me apologize for this PMGish type idea, but what are ya'll's thoughts with this? Since we are North Texas and marketing to the DFW area hasn't been overly successful, why don't we market from Denton north? Hit all of the smaller towns, such as Krum, Sanger (we do have the Higgs brothers), Gainesville area, Sherman-Denison area, McKinney, Frisco, Little Elm, etc... North Texas could host a town or two for each home game, for instance, Gainesville Appreciation Night, Sherman-Denison Appreciation night, etc... and work with the Chambers of Commerce from these communities to promote the games. Just an idea.

I'm glad William Tecumseh Sherman's eligibility is up. I wonder what the NCAA would do with him if he had a 40 inch vertical and shot lights out for North Carolina?

I love this article. How about the announcers that mention Patrick Cobbs? Can they state what hometown he comes from? Please don't remove this Harry/Cerebus Tecumseh, Oklahoma

Yes, it was in the print addition, and the photos were credited to Rick Yeatts.

Actually the front page of both the paper and the sports section. Very nice article.

Ms. Haworth, you can make those checks out to the University of North Texas. You might write "Greenbelt" in the memo line.

That's what a ridiculous $60 to $70 million athletic budget and the guaranteed BCS payout. When 50% of the schools get 90% of the revenue, something is wrong. They have to spend all that money on something.
