Beneath us???????? Have we not learned by now, NOBODY should be considered beneath us...NEVER....It's NEVER "in the bag...." It's time to add a lil GREEN to this Christmas Tree...

They shouldve flew over AFTER that game, and dropped a bomb on the 50 yard line....I personally wouldve welcomed it.

My question is....Any Rumors about a Chopper flyover?

How about a cut n paste for us people behind Iron Clad Fire Walls?

I've been saying about 3 prayers a day for a week, that the Defense has seriously worked on Tackling Techniques on the field and in the film room. Poor technique anomalies happen from time to time. But we're 8 weeks into the season....Need to see good technique from the first quarter, not wait until halfway into the third to figure things out....

Well, if you recall, we no longer have a Homecoming Parade... Director of the organization that runs that said "there's not enough interest, carbon footprint rules, all a TON of B.S. The parade got cancelled back in the height of Covid...When Covid passed, the organization that runs it just did a hard pass about doing it (possibly ever...) again...... Should I post a link here to the other forum discussion "Where are all the Fans?"

Can someone cut-n-paste an image for those of us who are trying to hide behind firewalls? : )

I sure hope the Team is not overlooking the opponent as much as alot the these posts are... Don't get me wrong, I like our chances, But, if you haven't learned by now to never overlook and always respect any opponent, then that's short road to get bit...hard...

I'll chime in here with my experience on Saturday, along with the same sentiments as others. What...is....UP....with....the.....SOUND????? - Too much nonsensical "filler music". Every single time I would try to talk to the person next to me, i'd get about 4 words in, and we'd have to pause, to let the music stop..... And yes, WAY too loud....and I'm not an elderly guy, but my hearing actually isnt all that great, which you would think would be a benefit....But still it was overbearing. It's like that annoying friend we have that has to "weigh-in" on EVERYTHING.... Just stop, for the love of GAWD. - The on field reporters - SCREAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMING into the mics...I get it...lets keep the energy going, but not the point our ears need to bleed - Then the one thing I really do want to hear over the PA system is the Referees explain the penalties (and there were plenty, good LORD) But year after year after year, it's always "garbled" I will never understand, we were able to speak with men on the moon 50 years ago, so why cant we get have any consistency when it comes to a Ref flipping on his Mic? Yes - this is all dripping with sarcasm to make a point......I hope UNT is reading these, because it's a problem, Sarcasm aside, this is the truth...Both me and my girlfriend were sitting on the Alumni side, and every time that music or reporter would come on at 1000 decibels, we resorted to sitting there, with a finger in our right ears (the one that faces the scoreboard). I was rolliing my eyes about it, then I scanned the crowd, and I saw no less than 25 people doing the identical move! At halftime - did anyone else have trouble at the concession stands? The were running outta stuff left and right. Do better UNT...

Looking forward to the game. Hoping they bring their band also;

Anybody happen to catch this?

OK...If you want to ensure sold out stadium on opening day....I have the answer.... Just hear me out on this, ok? Close your eyes, and picture yourself in the stadium, and try and "hear" the team introductions in your head as you imaging yourself there... "Starting at Quarterback, Number 12. TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Youre welcome...

Bye, Cya...I'll help carry your sh*t to your car...

I cant keep track of all of it any longer. Lets just make 138+/- Independent Teams

Frenchy's Field

I was tempted to say and NOT completely rule our "Bucky's" in some capacity.....But, I know the owner/developer is an ATM grad...

Acme Brick "WELCOME TO THE BRICKYARD!"

Anything that looks like it was just printed off from MS-Word just isnt trying. Looked to me like someone forgot to design a helmet decal and the night before the game, RV printed this off, and ran to Joe's Copies (if youre old enough, you get that joke...) and made a bunch of stickers...

Thanks for re-posting the link to Andie Jackson's letter. It does clear up their "stance", but I'm GRAVELY disappointed in my school. I apologize in advance to be suspicious and my tone, but how much of this decision is really "lack of student participation" vs. a committee just not wanting the challenge that's been around for what, maybe 75 years? I'm sure there's guilt on both sides, but i find it hard to believe its for lack of interest. a Greek Organizations live for this kinda stuff. Many Frats/Sororities require members to volunteer for activities to accrue a certain amount of points. A parade is an easy no-brainer. Can't have ALL of them on the floats? Worried about the extra "waste" generated by a parade? Fine, assign surplus members volunteer for clean-up duty. b. The Green Brigade, by default adds 500'+ to the length of the parade, just by showing up.... c. What business, in Denton, does not WANT to drive SLOWLY in front of hundreds spectators, with their name on the side of a vehicle, handing out SWAG, at the price of the most affordable marketing you could possibly get? d. There are now FOUR large High Schools in Denton ISD. ALL with great marching bands. You mean to tell me, if UNT extends an invite to their bands, to march in the homecoming parade, ALL of them will decline? I'm a director at my company, and have been doing it for 30+ years.....I can smell when someone just doesnt want to try... Do better, UNT.

Don't get me wrong, I love the planet, but I dont always agree with sustainability guidelines. But, I do see the need for them as time goes on, so I'm always willing to accept the challenge... That being said...Can they NOT show/illustrate what "said Guidelines" are? I work in architecture and we constantly deal with jurisdictions that have different guidelines/requirements on minimum and maximum types of sustanable material and methods of construction. So, we review those requirements, then apply them to the proposed design to the client. In short, we're basically telling the client "ok, we have some rules we have to go by, so here's what we CAN do.... But UNT just seems to put out the Optics of "well, no use even trying....lets forget the whole damn thing, just not worth it..." REALLY UNT? It's a PARADE....It's not a "Green-Building/LEED certified 100 million dollar addition to the Tokyo International Airport. It's 3 hours of a marching band and people pulling flatbed trailers with kids throwing terrible candy to spectators... I'm sure I might be over-simplifying the issue, because I don't have all the details....But for the love of GAWD, give us the details. It my experience, there is ALWAYS a work-around... Every College has a Homecoming...(yes, even those without football programs) But I'd dare to say ALL of them with football programs are having a parade.. My question is, how many colleges/universities, in the State of Texas, are deciding to forgo a Homecoming Parade this year? My guess UNT will be the ONLY school to just skip this tradition, because it's easier.... This is one of those "little things" that UNT does, that doesnt seem like much, but adds up to us not looking like a legit program, or getting student body involved, or connecting with the community. May not seem like a big deal, but alot of little things, add up to big things eventually. Do better, UNT...

We probably were more conditioned...but that was Pre-Indoor Practice facility! : P

Everybody I know had sunburned knees from sitting there with the sun directly overhead. 11:00am Kickoff...In Late August...In Texas...Brilliant...

If he's got to go, I get it....JUST FINISH THIS AND GIVE US A TROPHY TO PUT IN THE CASE!!!!! Is that so hard? : )

I say let fans on the field, bring back After Game Fireworks shows, like they used to do at Fouts, years ago... And please, DONT start up with "it doesnt make sense when we lose to have a Fireworks show, it's like we're celebrating a loss..." Frisco Roughriders always used to have a fireworks show after Friday home games, I think? Maybe still do?

With this group? No it's not too soon. Everyone is too senstive. It's business. Now...We need a coach....So eyes on me....I'm gonna say it...Everyone's thinking it....But I have the guts to name the best man for the job... Riley Dodge... (Making a run for the exit after that gag...)
