So he agrees we need to upgrade in some areas that obviously rely on alumni donations for these upgrades. Sounds like another person with all the answers, yet doesn't want to be part of the solution. Sorry, but an upgrade in administration, which we have acheived, and an upgrade in media, which is pretty much out of our hands, is the determining factor whether this "alumni" gives or not? He needs to pull his head out of the sand or another place that blocks the sunlight!

Only provided him with a degree to earn a living. Did you invite him out to the game? I have a ticket he can use.

I was purely guessing on the player with Coach Gales. Can anyone confirm the player?

Coach Jimmy Gales and Tony Worrell. Don't know the year or the record.

I think this was probably true, especially before the high schools closed their campuses for lunch, but I really don't think they get the high school crowd like they used to. I'm not asking them to give thousands of dollars, but buying add space in the program, giving a couple hundred $$ to the Mean Green Club, advertising to students, etc... isn't too much to ask. Afterall, UNT and TWU nearly double Denton's population when school is in session.

Denton Co. Hamburger is on the south side of the square on Hickory Street. They are in the middle of the block. This resturant supported Denton High School when I was in school, because so many students ate lunch there. I have a feeling that if they started to see some customers in Green and White supporting their establishment that they might return the favor. I too don't understand why some of the businesses in Denton don't support UNT, but maybe it is a catch-22 type situation. We don't like them so we don't enter their business, and they don't support UNT because we badmouth them and don't shop in their store. Maybe we should be the first to enter these businesses, tell them we are in town for the game, and in the case of Denton Co. Hamburger, let them know that we wouldn't be in their place of business without numerous recommendations from Mean Green faithful. Be friendly and invite them out to the game. Who knows, we might change some attitudes.

Anyone see the story? To all residents of Traditions or Sante Fe Halls: I have room for 3 in my car. I will be happy to give you a ride to your car after the game. BTW, I don't leave early. Meet me at the gate on the student side after the game. I will have on a green shirt and a NT hat.

I think what Cerebus is trying to say is that all the residents of these dorms signed a parking agreement that stated that UNT could have these lots vacated for University events. They didn't have to sign this agreement, but they did, so if they say that they didn't know, then it's their own fault for not reading something before they sign it. BTW, I would not like to be told I couldn't park where I live, but this is pretty common at universities that host large sporting events. Some buddies of mine just got back from the LSU/Auburn game. They had to pay $100 for RV parking. The parking was in a student lot that had to be vacated by 5:00pm on Friday, the day BEFORE they game. They were in space #251, and they guessed that there were at least 500 RV's there for the game. This doesn't count the folks that tailgate without RV's (not our AD! )

This is just a temporary price that we have to pay at this time for the success of our football program. In a few years this program will go away with the construction of the new football facilities, including stadium, across the highway. Why is football important to this University? Because it brings alumni back on campus at least 5 times a year. I will be the first to admit that without the football program, I would probably set foot on campus maybe once or twice a year. The athletic department does more to boost alumni morale and involvement than anything else on campus.

Team seeks tall, experienced men Lindsey Parks Daily Reporter October 29, 2003 The Lady Eagles are spreading their wings in basketball practices and competitions by recruiting men to oppose them on a scrimmage team. Assistant coach Scott Stoehr is looking for men to join this year's "Dream Team," a squad formed to scrimmage against and help prepare the Lady Eagles for future opponents. "Every day at practices you see the same faces," Stoehr said. "We bring in new faces, and you get better competition." The men who volunteer to scrimmage must meet the same NCAA eligibility requirements as the Lady Eagles: They must be full-time students, pass physical examinations and be accepted through the NCAA Clearinghouse. To that list, the Lady Eagles have added one more requirement. "We want guys who are good -- but not too good," head coach Tina Slinker said. "We want guys who can give a good competition." Dependability, responsibility and loyalty are also top priorities, Stoehr said. The downside of playing against the women is that the men will do so as volunteers. They won't receive any compensation, not even a free T-shirt. However, there is an upside, Stoehr said. "It's an opportunity for structured play," Stoehr said. "It's a good workout and, at least, a chance to be around an organized program." Those selected would be playing against one of the top women's basketball teams in the Sun Belt. The team has managed three conference division championships in the past five years. Right now the men's scrimmage team has seven members but is looking for a total of 12 to make a full squad. The Lady Eagles are determined to further develop a competitive edge. Over the past four seasons, the team has posted a 47-10 home record. The team begins exhibition play with a match slated for Nov. 6 against the Houston Jaguars. For information on how to volunteer, contact Stoehr at (940) 565-2947.

Bad look.

Not good. Our best recruit is out the door before the season even starts. I wish him the best and hope he gets these issues resolved.

is called the "Snake Pit?" For the answer click the link below. Trivia Answer

Awful. An embarrassment, although I give the Stars organization props for admitting this is just to make money on sales of the new jersey. From the looks of this though, they may take a loss.

Bad decision. This should take place immediately following the football game.

Do you realize that for about the price of ONE GOOD STARS TICKET for one Stars game you could buy two season tickets for UNT football?! Just trying to remind each of us, that UNT football is the best deal going in the Metroplex. Go Stars and Go Mean Green.

Weren't these HELLwig's original choice for our colors? (Sorry FFR)

You're fitting the profile of the typical Cowboys fan.

Hey, this is the weekend that the football team has an open date. Let's all turnout to see the Lady Eagles win the 1st ever North Texas Fall Classic. Besides. it will give us a chance to tour the Denia-l area! Good Luck Coach Segal.

What about our game against DePaul with Mark Aguirre in the late 70's/early 80's. I was there and that was definitely a sellout.

I believe, I believe!

pisses me off. On top of that, it is from a faculty member and alumnus. I still wish some or our alumni/faculty members/Denton residents that support this project would submit letters. A bad idea The University of North Texas regents have approved using $3,675,000 from the university’s reserve funds to pay for an athletics complex that will cost at least $7.4 million, a million more than previous recent estimates and certain to increase. At first the athletics complex was to be paid for mostly by private funds. Then the regents voted to lend the project $1 million on condition that the university raise $3 million in private money. That failed. So now the university’s reserve funds are being used. That is mismanagement of the university’s funds. There are many reasons the athletics expansion is a bad idea, particularly with university funds. History has shown that North Texas never will be successful in big-time football. Competition in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for money, fans and media attention is too great. Alumni, mostly musicians, journalists and educators, are not interested in supporting big-time athletics at North Texas and do not have the money to support it if they did. Failure to raise the $3 million proves that. North Texas is desperately in need of money for academic purposes. The university needs to raise a lot of private money for those needs. North Texas does not need big-time athletics. It has more students now (more than 30,000) than it can handle. It already has national reputations in many fields, such as music, journalism, education and business. Big-time football won’t help.

I haven't played there in years, but it used to be a lot of fun for the money. I sure it is like any other course and pretty crowded on Saturday mornings, but you may called ahead and check for tee times. Back when I played there, late 80's to early 90's, they didn't take tee times but had a ball rack you placed your golf ball in. When your ball made it to first in line, you teed off.
