  1. Yes, across I35 on the north side of the new AC.
  2. You can choose to live in the past, the present or dream of the future. I see you, like many short-sighted La. Techsters, choose to live in the past.
  3. Beating La. Tech gives us respect? Outside of it being an OOC win, a win by North Texas over La. Tech shouldn't be that surprising considering our preseason rankings and how we've finished the last few years. If you were in the Belt you would finish second to us and wouldn't have visited any bowls. The WAC bowls are ridiculous. The Hawaii Bowl will automatically take Hawaii if they are bowl eligible, if not the bowl will select teams. Same with Boise State and the Humanitarian Bowl and Fresno St. and their bowl. La. Tech could win the WAC and not even go to a bowl.
  4. How about the article on branding in the online addition of the North Texan? At the end of the article on all the new branding/wordmarks is a picture of the UNT star with the blue and copper FFR loves so much.
  5. Recruit speed and athleticism. Athletes will find a way to contribute. Don't forget, one of our greatest linebackers ever was a high school quarterback.....Brad Kassell. True, we lose JQ but will still have Muzzy, Jackson, Covington, etc.., so WR will be fine. I agree that both DL and OL need to be our target. They are difficult to find, and the athletic/big ones are typically signed by the BcS schools.
  6. Don't worry, George W's son will do just fine.
  7. So from the looks of these photos the tennis center will be located to the south of the practice fields. Is this correct? I thought the original plans were for it to be to the east of the dorms.
  8. Humor is just lost on some people.
  9. Great logic and don't forget about all the publicity Troy got at the end of the year for winning the SBC! What, they didn't win conference and get the automatic bowl invite to New Orleans? What happened? They got in to another bowl because two teams got in fights at the end of the year and skipped the bowl games as punishment?
  10. Denton High still practices at the old stadium on Fulton and Ryan practices at fields on their campus, so this could be an option, then again, as Baby Arm! stated, rain in August?
  11. I like his logic of stating that Byerly looks good on paper but doesn't have the game experience to replace Hall, yet he lists three receivers that will replace Kerry Wright and none have much in game experience. Plus, did Wright really hurt us with his 8 catches for 70 some odd yards? He also mentions we will be coming off a "beating at the hands of Louisiana State" but doesn't mention the same in regards to the MUTS returning from Alabama. His one truth is that the MUTS and Coach Andy are the ones that must live with the pressure to win, something they have shown the ability to do in the last 4 years.
  12. UNT Insider Subscription
  13. Agreed about the early lead. I don't see him holding this lead through the end. Don't misunderstand me, I believe Armstrong will win number 7, but I don't see the team excerting the effort to hold the lead at this time. He will remain within reach of the lead, take the lead for good in the few mountain stages, and then hold on to the end. Just my 2 cents.
  14. The current official word is: 1st String: Joey Byerly 2nd String: Daniel Meagher 3rd String: Not Sure
  15. True, there are 100,000 alumni in the Metroplex, have been for years. And what has this alumni base contributed to the athletic department? Not much. Our season ticket base is 3,500 or so. This base consists of not only alumni, but faculty and staff and local citizens. So our alumni support for season tickets is less than 3.5% of the alumni in the immediate area. We have 30,000 + students on campus and historically the athletic department has done absolutely nothing to connect with the students until RV came along. When I was in school, I went to games because I wanted to. I knew when the games were because I want to, not by some great promotional job of the athletic department at that time. I love what RV is doing. Connect and create excitement with the current student body will create connected and excited alumni when they graduate. They will more than likely be the future growth of our season ticket base, not the same old 100,000 plus alumni in the DFW market that haven't come to games in the past, aren't coming know and probably won't come in the future.
  16. Four evenings? Must have felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.
  17. Who Wins?- What do you think is the most important inconference game in each conference and who do you think will win? – MO A: ACC – Miami at Florida State … Miami Big East – Pittsburgh at Louisville … Pitt Big Ten – Ohio State at Michigan … Michigan Big XII – Oklahoma vs. Texas … Oklahoma C-USA – Southern Miss at UAB … UAB MAC – Bowling Green at Miami … Miami Mountain West – Utah at BYU … Utah Pac 10 – USC at California … USC SEC – Tennessee at Florida … Florida Sun Belt – Troy at North Texas … North Texas WAC – Boise State at Fresno State … Boise State
  18. Congrats Dylan. I would love to see you on the Dean's List also.
  19. Yes it is. One of our fans even ordered green tortillas. It's a long story. Ask a TX Tech fan about it.
  20. The Clay Pot was a great place and was even the setting for a few "Dallas" episodes with the Ewing clan. Harry, I remember the spot you are talking about and seem to remember it being called Igloo's. It was on the north side of Eagle between Elm and Locust.
  21. Nothing Surprises Me Anymore!
  22. I believe he is the GM of a Lexus dealership in Plano.
