I don't know if this has been posted yet or not but I thought it was pretty neat.

http://www.caillouxfoundation.org/grant_guidelines.htm This was the best information I could find out. It seems they are connected with the HS Foundation. It appears to me that we meet the tax qualifications, we just need a senior member of this board to send them a professional looking proposal. Naming Rights? Also found this: Harold Simmons Foundation 5430 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy Dallas, TX 75240 Phone: (972) 233-2134 You never know until you ask. He could be to us what T. Boone is to Okie State. With the new coach and exploding interest in our program, now is the time to seek a philanthropist like Mr. Simmons. I would do this myself but do not yet have the professional writing, speaking, and selling skills that some of you have attained. I hope we can get this ball rolling. Please?

While this would be amazing and is definately worth at least an e-mail, I see 2 things that might work against us here:

Johnny Quinn because anyone who can become the school's all-time leading receiver in that run-happy offense has got to get my vote. Johnny would have had 1000yd all four years in Dodge's system.

Wow, thats like the opposite of Dickeyball.

Ditto, I just can't see a team whose school colors are green and white not using at least one of the to as the primary color in every jersey.

..."cheer for the GREEN and WHITE".....

Completely agree.

I'll second that!

Why do I always fall for this crap?!

I've only been to 12 games. I went to the Baylor game at Floyd Casey in '99. After that, I forgot about UNT football until watching the 2004 mud bowl and NO bowl on TV. I went to all 5 home games in 2005 and all 5 in 2006 plus the Texas game.

They may be confident but look at how they did in their last game. They put it on Rice in a bowl game. After the bowl win against Cincy, I'm sure a great deal of the Mean Green nation was drinking the same koolaid as the Trojans.

I like '68-'71 the best. My second choice would be the current helmet.

Maybe something to do with trojans? I can't remember that Adam's mascot. Anybody?

They are probably due by then because Wednesday is when the away game tickets go on sale to students.

No worries mate, we threw Captain Dickey overboard before the ship sank.

I don't believe they have very much class either. They constantly bash the value of our degrees and say we go to school just to mow their lawns. Classless if you ask me.

I wonder how early he'll get playing time at Okie State? He'd start as a freshman here. He could go the way of Awasome and Spencer.

I'll go 13 max and 5 minimum.

Awesome! I can record the game while I'm in Norman and come home and watch it agani like I did the Texas game last year.

Haha, no doubt.

Gotcha. It makes it harder to get to the game for those of us that work on Saturdays though.

Why did they switch some of the home games to the afternoon instead of the evening? Those metal bleachers get awfully hot.

haha, wow

The guy squats 500lbs at 16-17yrs old. Give him a year to grow, he'll be fine.
