Silly me, I didn't type that correctly. Athletics = Academics.

Universities in Texas cannot adopt a student fee to pay for anything unrelated to athletics without a vote from the students. Would the university try this? I think so, but I doubt that the student body would support an increase in their tuition to pay for a stadium which the majority will never attend. Rumor has it that the Health Center was voted on and originally voted down by the students, but the BOR overturned that somehow.

BOOOO

Yet still we only had 222 more people in attendance. Kinda sad

I heard that there are a 'few' construction companies offering bids to build the new stadium. I would assume that the $1.5M we got was for drawing up the plans and not so much on the 'research' of whether we could afford it or not. Because going off of the past with the fan support, there is no way financially it would make sense. I also heard that while RV is ready to tango with the new stadium, there are other, more 'powerful' people, that must be influenced first and they are not currently on board with this new project. I do not believe they are waiting for TX dot to offer money to buldoze Fouts, this makes me chuckle. I think rather he is waiting to see the turnout of this season and the next to see what their new investment (Todd Dodge) will do to the program and fan support as well as season tickets. I believe that if this season and the next are successful and we have a great showing of fan support and we win some games, this will be what is needed to get the more 'powerful' people on board.

I would agree to a degree that there is not much 'following' of UNT outside of the metroplex, or really even on campus. But about the white helmets, man those things are awesome. I want to get one and just wear it around in my car on the way to work or even while I sleep. I love em and cant wait to get one. That is all I will say about them as there are many other threads talking about the new uniforms. I think this thread needs to go in the direction of.......say......politics.

Dickey never got to meet the president, neither did RV

Keep going this is fun!

On the master plan it shows a Business building running east and west where the old heath facility was.

Great website. All you need to know at a quick glance and all the links you need one click away. Great job. Suggestions: 1) A football countdown to season opener (maybe one for each game) 2) An athletic development or building projects at a quick glance (or link to (Link)). Something so that when people visit the site they can see what is new at UNT athletics and what is in the making or pictures of the future stadium. For instance there would be something on there about the new UNT Hall of Fame being built. I dont know about anyone else but seeing these changes and improvements gets me excited about the future of UNT.

Maybe MeanGreenSports could add a countdown clock or something to their website, I mean after all they are the official site for UNT football.

Yes Eppy, we have talked on occasion

He said there was other teams showing interest in him and that he was going to try to get in touch with them.

I was looking at his facebook profile and he has added some more pictures. Man this guy is crazy about North Texas. In all his photos he is wearing UNT something. Facebook link

I read a while back on here that the UNT Business school was going to be sponsored by American Airlines. Is this true? And does anyone have a link to this? Thanks

Question: Is NCAA 08 4 player? I tried doing some reasearch and found none. The reason I ask is because I have NCAA 07 which says it's 2 players, but when all controllers are turned on while starting the game it shows 4 controllers on the game like all you would have to do is move them to their respective sides. Any help, thanks.

I found this while searching around. Look familiar???

I dont think of it as us copying SLC. If you think about it, SLC was one of the last to get a contract with UA (2006) and I think more that their uni's were modeled off of the colleges. I dont look at it as us copying SLC but rather us getting on board with the new look of college football and some national powerhouses. Hopefully we will become part of the few who are supplied by UA and can make a list when people are talking about the likes of Auburn, Usc, and Tech and their uni's.

Just setting myself up for the bad news, so I wont be too surprised when the announcement comes

Oh brother, when you thought the SBC conference couldn't get any worse they will amaze you.

I heard that todge was wanting to remove that from the helmets and replace it with something more similar to South Carolina, Auburn, etc. With just some style of UNT. Now I dont know how much power he has to do this.

Well whether we like it or not we better get used to it. We can, however, now start talking about how badly we need ONLY the diving eagle on our helmets like most other nationally recognizable universities, and ditch the North Texas.

Cant beat free publicity

That is what they will look like. They are incorporating all three colors into everything this year (green, black, white). The players (I hear from a football player) will have 3 pairs of pants and they will be those three colors with a stripe going down the side. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the black and green stripe to match the helmet.

If we had baseball that would help a lot in the off season
