My mistake. I don't know why but for some reason I thought it was all seats

I would assume it would be along the lines of this, to try and create an image that represents an idea/identity. Its probably for official, academic, and scholar use only. The athletic department would not be affected, they can make their own logos/rules. http://www.identity.ucla.edu/graphicstandards/UCLAStandardsManual0904.pdf We have our own rules as well. http://www.unt.edu/identityguide/print-paper.htm Our big stone signs won't be effected.

Besides the two already mentioned, the Rose Bowl as well. Good point though, I do like the backs to the bleachers some stadiums have. As well as green bleachers, just makes it look nicer. Anyone with connections to RV able to ask him if that is going to happen in the future?

I really like the seats they have, also they layout of their stands is nice. Once We get rid of the wings and put the seats in we can say we have one of the best stadiums bar none. Does anyone know how much more it would have been to have all seats in Apogee?

I hate it when people use this excuse. If only the hadn't thrown 2 interceptions? If only they hadn't scored so many points? If only we had converted on 4th down? Well guess what??? That IS WHAT HAPPENED! Its stupid to say lets "pretend" that something didn't happen to make yourself feel better. What, are you just going to blissfully ignore it? You have to look right at your mistakes and point them out, that is the only way to improve. Not by pretending they didn't happen. People on this board feel like you can't say we played bad, like there has to be a positive outcome. Like its taboo to say we sucked. We showed we could play better and instead played worse this game. I am fine with team's having more talent and executing well, they did their job. What gets me is when we leave players wide open on every play, and can't wrap up a tackle. Thats on us. Don't sugar coat things and hide our mistakes.

And this is what I have been waiting to see. Not coach speak, not pre-season hype. Everyone gets excited about people talking up the team. Look unflinchingly at the results in front of you. Worst of all I think is our coverage, every time I see a guy wide open for an easy play. Its about basics and the coaches aren't drilling it into the players. We have flashes of improvement but are overshadowed my mediocrity. No more coach talk. Talk is cheap, show me results. The rest of you should learn this lesson as well. Of course I will still support the program and the school, but lets be realists about it.

Which is exactly why we would be kept out. You think these schools want to lose recruits to us? Being in a major recruiting area and being a large state school will keep the Big12 away from us. I don't know if your thinking its in these team's good hearts to help us out, but that isn't the case. They will protect their own interest, unless we add to that interest we will be blocked out. Be a realist.

i was watching the game on ESPN 3 and it seemed the onside barely went forward. The kicker was the only one with a chance to grab it. Did it go far enough?

I see Houston getting in if its a Texas school. They need to replace the coverage they are losing in that area. UH is a poor replacement but they are similar to us in that if they gain AQ they can be a big force (which is also another thing hindering both of us from being AQ, large public schools in the two most recruit fertile areas of the state.) UNT and SMU have about the same low chance of gaining BigXII invite. Our endowment and reputation aren't there yet, and I don't think the BigXII wants a small private school. IMHO the best thing would be for UNT to end up in the MWC. I never understood people's obsession with CUSA. Compare the 2 MWC Air Force- national service academy, always draw well and usually a good team Boise State- Built up the WAC almost single handedly, nationally recognized in football Colorado State- 2nd state school, decent academics Fresno State- known to have some decent athletics from time to time Hawaii- state flagship, known for its BCS buster football New Mexico- State flagship, basketball power San Diego State- has been known as a good athletic program. Ranked last year, basketball power Nevada- state flagship, was ranked last year UNLV- basketball power Wyoming- state flagship, not very good mostly mediocre. CUSA- UAB- decent endownmnent Central Florida- recent football and basketball success. Ranked last year East Carolina- good football and fan support Marshall- was good when in the MAC, very sup-par now Memphis- nationally known basketball, hasn't really been the same after Calipari left though Southern Miss- don't really know much about them Houston- recent success in football, semi name recognition. Rice- good academics, poor athletics SMU- bowl eligible last few years, not much else. UTEP- mediocre team, Tulane- same as rice Tulsa- recent football success feel free to add on. I fully admit that I don't know everything about these schools so if I got something wrong feel free to correct me. The MWC teams aren't going anywhere, CUSA might lose ECU and UCF which would kill its prestige. Add Houston to that and the MWC is a no brainer.

That's because this forum is full of a bunch of OLD GEEZERS, who resist any change. You guys know its true, whats the average age of this forum's posters? Some where in the 40's?

Finally was able to stomach watching the replay today. The last three pointer by Bozeman was not a push, there was no foul. However his screen on Shorter to set up the first 3 pointer was illegal. He was moving and even knocked shorter over. I can't believe it wasn't called

I agree completely. We have a special group here and if they want to give it another go I say lets do this. Barring we somehow get an NIT bid this would be a great opportunity. Anyway someone can contact RV about this?

I always wondered who made our uniforms. Do you notice how everyone has Nike shoes though? I guess we have separate deals for uniform and shoe makers?

Good response. I want this guy to succeed, I want to team to be spectacular and win. We all do because we love UNT. But lets keep our heads and not say "this guy is the real deal" yet, lets see his product and see if it delivers. Every year we talked about Dodge was improving and how much better we were going to be. Lets see what his team is made of then we can give him his deserved credit.

Seems like we are losing to lots of teams with poor records.What is more important is, are these teams gunning for us? I believe motivation and momentum play a key part of the any sport. So do these teams see our record and come out extra motivated to play us? I know for sure SHSU did. Raised their championship banners and made this their marquee OOC game. Or do we just struggle on the road?

I was really upset that the Law School will be UNT at Dallas School of Law. In the future can this be changed to be tied to the main campus?

That was a big key to why we lost. Odufawa had 7 or 8 points missed IIRC. Thats the ball game right there.

I heard an interview about him talking about the whole Cam Newton scandal. He said he thought it was silly and he wanted to urge kids to go play for the Mavs straight out of High School and he would set them up at a school to get an education. I'm paraphrasing here "The kids would get a guaranteed amount of money and we would set them up at North Texas so they can get a college degree." So at least he thought of us first and not the closer SMU. I guess thats a good thing

re-branding and marketing purposes. New sponsor, new coach, new stadium, etc. we have a new start and can go in a different direction. Its a good time to create a new culture and identity. My main reason for presenting those was no one like the current "North Texas" script on the helmet. I was just throwing out some ideas of something else we could do just for fun. Don't blow a fuse, its not like I'm officially unveiling logo designs

Its time for a new logo. Nike does a great job of marketing a school though its merchandise. Having North Texas or Mean Green on hats if fine but it would be nice to be like the other schools and just have a logo besides the diving eagle. Now please forgive how crude these are, I sketched them very quickly. Simple NT that can be outlined, shadowed, etc. I have seen similar ones on here that probably look better. Overlapping letters which I think look very nice, it would look good on UNT gear. This one I like the best. Very nice and would look excellent IMO. again forgive the crudeness I just wanted to see if anyone liked these.

Because thats the accepted norm and its allowed. I go on here to find out information about UNT, not to see people's (bad) jokes. Of course thats my personal purpose, people can use it for what ever the admin allows, I'm not here to change things. I however have every right to give my opinion about what I don't like.

Supposed to be a joke i guess? But its neither accurate or funny, I don't get it. Also ho does this add anything of value to this thread? This is another thing that irks me about this forum. Most threads degenerate into childish joking and very little information about the topic is discussed.

Seriously? Why start a new thread about a topic thats already being discussed?

Only way we move is if one of the Texas schools leaves and they want another Texas school in CUSA. It will be interesting if the MWC wants to go to 12 no matter what and SMU, UTEP, and Houston say no. We could have a shot, other than that there is no way we are considered.
