Does he even have a RayHawK ??

In all seriousness if we want to name it after a person it should be from someone associated with the 1956 team. It would be nice to honor the 1st school in TEXAS that allowed integration. I know that Abner Haynes and Leon King were the players , but not sure on the coach or AD at the time

Joe Greene Stadium & Al GOLDfield Field & Frenchy's Parking Lot & Booger Box Seats & Stone Cold's Beer Stand & Ramon Flaningan Porta Potties

As a Redskin fan I wish he would stay because I think he's soft.... what's your thought ???

Grandma ?? j/k , but that's her name too... welcome to the board!!!

If RV and the board want to save a lot of money , I know of several posters who would happily take out some anger to do the demolition for free of charge and it would probably only take a few hours

Haven't there been like 3 or 4 deaths so far of workers on the stadium ??? Anyway it's related to JJ wanting the thing done too soon ??

Looks like UTEP was our 1st opponent at Fouts in 1952. We wound up winning that game 27 -14. We also played North Dakota (55-0W) , Hardin Simmons ( 10-13L) , Trinity (34-7W) , Texas Tech (34-19W) and Carswell AFB (28-14W) to finish the year 7-3 and claim the Gulf Coast Conference Championship. It would only be fitting to play UTEP again to open up the new stadium.

I would say Utah State (but DD will already be gone , thus losing the drama) so I'm going with either Denton or Sanger High

Sounds like a road trip!

Army also is to come here next year along with Ohio. I think we have a 6 game series with Army

We had a 3 for 1 deal with K-State with the Wildcats scheduled to come here in 2010. I'm guessing they would NOT play in Fouts due to the conditions ( stadium barely held up vs Baylor). I doubt the new stadium would be ready that quick so would we push back the date versus K State to 2011 ?? Would be a great game in a brand new stadium!

UNT Students Approve Athletic Fee, Will Help Build New Stadium DENTON, Texas - Students at the University of North Texas voted to add for the first time ever a dedicated athletic fee to help fund a new football stadium and entertainment venue, according to referendum results released today by the Student Government Association. The official results of this week's referendum, which was held Oct. 13-17, show that 2,829 (58.1 percent) students voted in favor of the athletic fee while 2,038 (41.9 percent) students voted against the fee. A total of 4,867 (13.9 percent of the student body) students voted in the election that also included races for SGA senators and the UNT Homecoming court. "I believe the student's voice was heard and it shows that we care about the future of this university. We understand that this vote was not just about the stadium. It was about our university's future and our experience as students and alumni, because having a new stadium and entertainment venue will enhance our entire college experience," said Jeff Kline, student body president. "The students have made an investment in this university by voting yes; we now challenge the alumni of UNT to support their alma mater as well." The new $10 per credit hour fee will cap at 15 semester credit hours and will not be implemented until the stadium is complete, which is expected to be in the fall of 2011. Currently, the student body dedicates $3 per semester credit hour of the Student Service Fee to support athletics each semester. When the new athletic fee is implemented, the Student Service Fee will be reduced by $3, so no more than $105 of the $150 maximum athletic fee will be a new cost to students once the stadium opens. "Our student body clearly supports continued expansion and improvement of UNT Athletics. They also understand that a strong athletics program is key to a vibrant alumni community and the continued growth of UNT's image," President Gretchen M. Bataille said. "This fee, which will help us build a new stadium and entertainment venue, will ensure that our athletics program will be able to match the quality of our academic and research programs. "I am committed to ensuring that UNT, like many of the nation's best research universities, strives to be excellent in everything we do," Bataille said. "Recently we've bolstered our research programs with a $25 million commitment, we're hiring additional senior-level faculty who have excellent records in teaching and research, and we're expanding our advising programs so that we can be sure to keep our students' experience among the best in Texas." UNT Athletics Director Rick Villarreal thanked the students for their support. "Although I know there were students on both sides of this issue, I appreciate the support of those who have put us in a position to bring to fruition a project that I believe will have a positive impact on the entire university. Now that the students have given us their commitment, our momentum for raising donations and attracting corporate sponsorships will increase. We intend to continue moving this process along in the most expedient manner so everyone can enjoy a new facility as soon as possible." A new stadium, which at UNT will be part of a larger sports and entertainment complex, can only be built with funds raised by private donors and student fees because Texas law does not allow state funds to be used for athletics construction. Texas law also says student fees can fund no more than 50 percent of the cost. UNT is committed to working with its alumni and friends to make its vision for the new stadium and entertainment venue a reality. The new stadium will replace 56-year-old Fouts Field, where much of the infrastructure is outdated. Originally opened to accommodate 20,000 fans, Fouts Field is no longer a viable home for the North Texas football program and other events. When Fouts Field opened in 1952, UNT had an enrollment of fewer than 5,000 students. Today UNT is one of the state's largest and best universities with an enrollment of 34,795 students. The new stadium will serve as a signature landmark to the campus. UNT has built 10 new athletics facilities since 2002, including an Athletics Center and new venues for softball, tennis, soccer, swimming and volleyball, as well as a 7,000-square-foot academic center that is dedicated to helping student athletes succeed academically. To move forward on constructing a new stadium, with a possible groundbreaking as early as summer 2009, President Bataille and UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson will advance the new fee recommendation to the UNT System Board of Regents for approval. Regents' approval would also provide permission for the university to seek approval from the Texas legislature to implement the fee. Legislative approval would make the fee part of state law that would be signed by the Governor at the end of the next legislative session in 2009. Regents' approval also would give the university permission to simultaneously seek approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to construct a new stadium.

I've meangreensports.com about 5 times over the past 2 years and the feed always sucked or there hardly any feed at all. Got the pregame on right now at sunbelt.org and so far looks pretty good.

Don't think it's on mgpremium , but sunbeltsports.org has it

A big Thank you indeed Flyer!

It's a quote from the movie Semi-Pro with Will Farrell

Have you ever bought a game from sbc.com ? If so how is the quality of the picture

Very true... would remind me of the time Homer got Marge a bowling ball as a gift with his name on it

I'm guessing the wife is a UNT football fan ?? if so your a lucky man , well done

32-7 in the 4th... glad I didn't go. I personally like black pants

Horned Frogs up 14 - 0 over the #9 ranked Cougars at Amon Carter. I'm following the game on gamecast , anyone know if it's on TV ??? If this keeps up looks likes Utah,Boise State & Tulsa will have to play the BCS buster roles

The season was a bust after Florida International Airport left town. 2009 Season : 5 -7 , 2010 : 7- 5

Our line should be solid next year , not all that deep , but SOLID. I'm a big Dodge supporter , but he will not have any excuses next year if this team is not competitive week in and week out for the whole season

Maybe there is a reason you can't vote for the stadium... don't do it if your luck is really that bad
