I maintain a 3.0, full time student double major President of Talons, Run Cannon Crew, active on many committees (one started by Bataille), work 2 part time jobs, have a widowed mother and get screwed constantly with little to no financial aid. I give everything to this university like many of you did. But I guess those truly involved dont need help because they want to be here. Lets give money to the minimum gpa students so they will stay here. I love it here but sometimes I am just ready to get out and away from this daily bs.

For all of the Negative Nancys' I would appreciate those pictures much more than you are giving credit. That is all.

Yes, but not as much as a new stadium and a "winning" record (more than half the games played) and a bowl game $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I am there with 7 others

I have bigger plans than just driving on the track.

Parts have been ordered, let rebuilding commence. Here are some Pre-Rebuild Pics if anyone wants to play with the A on photoshop

I am looking for help. Spread the word that Cannon Crew is searching for a new look for the Model A. (Paint not body work) I am looking for a new paint job and I want to see what everyone comes up with. If you are not artistic feel free to post replies, preferably more helpful than saying get the right color green. Thanks Michael

At the visitors? What?! That is just crazy. How could you ask that? . . . Of course it will be aimed at them.

We will be moving to the other endzone where we will have more room and less people walking in front of us.

That would look AWESOME!

Actually we are completely rebuilding it right now. Though no one will notice because it all starts under the hood. Now as for the VW I saw it cruising down Ft. Worth Dr. and I knew right away from previous threads that is was JohnDenvers, I was just glad I finally got to see it. It looked great.

To let you all know I did not get into UNT on my first try even though I did get into other of those big "Private" schools. I am an average student who really wanted to come to this University. I did not take no for an answer and after writing another letter I was accepted. I had to take PSYC 1000 my first semester, a class that teaches you how to succeed in college. I did not need the clas,s I got over 100 in the end. What I did have was a great teacher who loved working at UNT and even gave extra credit for those who wore green on fridays. It was decided to get rid of the PSYC 1000 class. I have suggested to many officials that we create a new class. One that all incoming freshmen must take. The focus of the class would be the history of the University, all the different schools and possible fields of study and especially teaching tradition. This class would be so valuable showing incoming freshmen all the possibilities they can take rather than just being an undecided major for 3 years. Get them doing something they want to do and also get them involved with the university by participating and enforcing tradition.

Tying into the marketing, I received these questions from a marketing student, figured I would share. What does it mean to YOU to be a UNT student? Being a UNT student is something to be very proud of, especially if you are a current student. It is a melting pot of culture, ideas, art, music and athletics. Here, not only can you receive a great education, but you can experience a life unique to North Texas. How do you show your school spirit and why? Do you have any favorite events or activities? I am very involved with athletics and protecting the Universities traditions. At as many sporting events that I can I love firing Boomer the cannon and Ringing the Spirit Bell and driving the Model A. Our traditions are unique, Boomer was built on campus and is one of very few muzzleloading cannons in all NCAA and the Tug is the only motorized Spirit Bell. When at indoor events such as basketball I had to think of a new way to show spirit, hence I donned the uniform in the attached photo. I was able to create a unique appeal that is a real attention grabber. When anyone sees me they think that, there goes one crazy guy who is very proud of his university or there is one funny looking guy. Either is great with me because small things like that show how proud students can be about this University. Why should students get involved with school activities and events? College is what you make of it. You can never attend a single event, receive your degree and be on your way. The reason anyone should attend activities and functions is to build relationships, experience new things and to have fond memories of your time in college. People say that the college years are the best, but in fact any time in life can be the best times, you merely have to expand your horizons and experience new things. What are the long-term effects of being involved and having school pride? For the individual, you will always remember what it was like to have a great college experience and will want you children and theirs to have the same great experience. You will want to come back whenever you can especially to athletic events and concerts. For the University if they build and push that experience then they should expect alumni to open their pockets for donations and continue to build up the University even more.

How I posted this on the Basketball Forum I don't know. It's been a long day.

It's come to my attention that we will be Western Kentucky's Homecoming game. Thoughts? (I figured we would try to talk some football every once in a while on the football board)

I was afraid that last ball was going over the wall. 11-6 is better that 11-9, but I was pissed when it went to 11-1.
