HA HA...that is the funniest thing I have seen all day, even though its only 9 am. I say we start getting a team together now and RV can start making false promises of a baseball stadium to get them all excited. Then in a few years when the program has dwindled down get a new coach....kinda like they do all the other sports. They promised the swim team a new swimming pool. What did they get?? The rec center pool with removable bleachers. The swimmers cant even practice in there without swimming with the lap swimmers. I think some of the decisions RV and the AD has made to cut some corners and save some pennies has really been detrimental to all the athletic programs. We dont have a nice swimming facility to attract new top recruits. We should build nicer facilities (baseball, football, swimming, volleyball) and just raise tuition. Has anyone seen the volleyball facility? its a HS gym. when the girls play volleyball the ball 1/5 times bounces off the roof. It's PATHETIC. If we are going to be competitive and show everyone we're serious, we need to fork up some cash for these nicer facilities. Instead what we do it save a bunch of money and build something that in 5 yrs in obsolete. Poor decision making if you ask me. So here becomes the question: Do we build a baseball program w/ a stadium or a new Football stadium first?

You guys make a nice point about not over-paying but you also have to look into the costs associated with the clothing. I would gladly pay a little more for a shirt that looks nice and is made of nice quality than I would for a crappy shirt of poor quality. I would hope that our image and clothing would become cool for everyone to wear. I would love to passing through some small city on my way to.....mexico and see some UNT gear. But right now you barely see any of that in Denton. I like the idea of the fitted hats with just the eagle, but I also think that we could do better as far as fashion is concerned. Lets face it, we're guys, we're not into fashion...right? I believe that to an extent we are. I think that if our clothes and logos were 'cooler' to the majority then we would feel more comfortable about spending the extra money it took to design them. I would like to see a universal color (forest or dark green, something like the athletic page is) and get AWAY from the light lime green (the color of our main unt.edu page). I would like to see more dark green on black or visa versa. I would like to get our eagle more 'hip'. I would also like to be known as NT and maybe drop the U (if that makes any sense). I wish there was some way we could get a group together to decide and finalize some of these things.

I think the only problem with having the baseball team, and why we only have a club team, is because we do not have enough women sports yet. I think we ought to add Women's Football. We could probably get more fans to come to those games.

That combo would be the dorkiest thing ever. Depending on the set up we would still have a section that was completely out of the game and had to use Binoculars, like we do now.

Why dont we all send RV emails and phone calls and threats (not really) letting him know that we all want a baseball team and fast. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I am in total agreement that UNT needs a Baseball team very badly. I think the fans and alum will love it. We could put the proposed stadium right where Fouts is now.

If we score 2 touchdowns against OU then I will shave UNT on my chest and TD in my butt hair

I hope you dont play poker. If so you might want to save your time and just give away your money. But I will say this. I am sorry that TD had to come into a schedule like our where his first ever game will be against the Sooners. He will have his hands full thats for sure. I bet he cant wait to get that game over with.

Sorry I know this isn't about football but I just wanted to let every UNT fan know that UNT will be swimming against TCU this Wednesday (1/24) at 6pm at the Rec center. Admission is free just tell them your there for the game or go in the back door. This has always been a good rivalry but unfortunately TCU has taken the prize the past few years. UNT has pulled in some good recruits this season as well as a new Head Coach and they are ready to take the victory away from TCU. I know swimming isn't as exciting as football but I believe we should support all UNT sports. It would be great to have a bunch of fan support at this home meet. I hope everyone can make it.

Hey just wanted to let every UNT fan that UNT will be swimming against TCU this Wednesday (1/24) at 6pm at the Rec center. Admission is free just tell them your there for the game or go in the back door. This has always been a good rivalry but unfortunately TCU has taken the prize the past few years.

It would be nice.....but seriously. We would be lucky to score a TD. When we play UT I was just happy that we scored.

My vote goes to the Colts if nothing more than I really liked what the Pres. and Head Coach had to say when they received their trophy. They seem like really humble men and you dont find that often. Did you know this: Jim Irsay (also known as Jimmy Irsay) graduated from Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX in 1982 and is the owner of the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. Interesting...

Is that a shirt or a nighty? Either way it looks exactly the same except the UA logo on it.

Thats sweet. Now all we need is a QB to throw to them and an OL to protect the QB.

Oh man I'm hungry

It could of been worse, he could of been on a huffy with pegs and a baby seat

That makes sense as to why no one was talking about him. I watched him play against Westlake, he's got some skill. He threw up then 3 seconds later threw a TD. Wonder if he'll have interest in coming to play for his pops at UNT

Hey maybe I'm way behind but does anyone know what the word is on TD's son and what his plans are for college?

Is that your body in the picture

Sorry I cant help....I am just glad that it is sold out

Amen! WAC=good, SBC=bad, AnyotherConference=good, SBC=bad, ProNewConferencePeople=good, Others=bad

Yeah I'm sure he is. Im not throwing out statements, but I want to see facts. Adios!

THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOM LINE (and I'm done) is that UNT has 0 fan support. NO ONE wants to come to the games when we play crappy teams. That WILL NOT change, whether we win or lose. The SBC is not going anywhere and it will ALWAYS draw the bottom dwellers. I had hoped that UNT would be going somewhere athletically, but after reading what everyone has posted, it is clear we will always be a no name school in a crappy conference. I'll tell everyone what: In 2 or 3 years when UNT is stuck in the same position (without fans, support, low attendance, and spirit) or worse (which I predict if we dont get out this conference) and you all are still making excuses for why we are where we are, think back to the words of Daddy Dumpsalot "WE NEED to get into a new conference and fast, no more turning down bids". The fans will THEN make the commute from Dallas once we start to play worthy teams, but until then have fun throwing out shirts and towels and giving away cars in desperation of fan attendance. We need to stop looking into things so much and just support the idea of a new conference. If we cant afford a different conference, I am sure that the people that we pay on the UNT board, the ones that actually know the dollar figures, will not choose the conference. BUT if it comes down to what the fans want....I HOPE we start packing our bags. Why is it we have to get so far down before we realize that something needs to change? NOW, I am sorry If I have stepped on any toes with this thred, sincerely. I am very passionate about UNT athletics and I really would love to see it take off. I am sick of us playing worthless teams when we are much better than that. I want a shot at playing bigger and better schools and I'm sure the rest of the UNT fans do too.

Sorry cowtown but I really want to see the facts, not what some thred rider has posted. Perhaps you could provide a link of the actual attendance falls of Idaho, NMSU, and USU since their new conference. I hardly classify a thred post as factual public documents...lol...You dont lose games because of fan support, you lose because you get outplayed. The sunbelt will NEVER match the WAC. Mark my words NEVERRRR. This conference is doomed.

Sorry, I couldnt finish I had to leave work.

I appologize. Im not ignoring your points. But I feel like youre points are.......not valid
