Actually, I have quite a few green "script" hats.

....OR! it could be that I take to heart those words from our fight song "VICTORY'S IN STORE WHAT 'ER THE SCORE OUR TEAM WILL EVER FIGHT,... "FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT" .....actually, in my case, it's more like ANNOY....."ANNOY, ANNOY, ANNOY"

You didn't include a "renew" button.

Yes.

Med, what I was suggesting was that maybe someone else might want to join in the fun this year. Two years ago, I had an "incident" with a young (and obnoxious) Texas fan who insisted on standing on top of the bleachers right in front of me. It's time for someone else to 'step-up".

Michael Wallis, who has written many books, but most notably about Route 66 is the voice of "Sheriff".

Thanks. My son's girlfriend (a TCU graduate) wants to attend the game with us. The last time she attended a North Texas game, FFR was escorted out of the stands by security. And shortly after that (and after my son had moved her over by me so that she might be safer) I got "visited" in the stands by one of the North Texas coaches. What could we possibly do to top that?

OHMYGOD! It's a Bill Brasky highjack.

Yeah, that's my wife's attitude. Every time I make plans to go to a NT/UT game she just asks if it wouldn't be easier (and faster) if she just beat me with some barbed wire.

There is a much better design available. FFR has the graphics.

That's a lot of stuff to see in a player considering that he sat out most of the spring practice. Are you just trying to yank someone's chain?

Then we need to make Johnny Quinn our QB........

I found my renewal package yesterday and put it in the mail. When can we purchase tickets to the Texas game?

To answer your questions. A. Yes B. If the answer to "A" is yes, then the answer to "B" is also yes. There! Does this adequately meet your needs BD?

Is the University of Illinois being required to change the name of their mascot.

Just got mine at the local "wally world". The North Texas coverage is one of the most unremarkable I've seen in a long time.

Well.....me for one. People on this board can (as my dear departed mother-in-law would say) "jump on their horses and gallop off in all directions" faster than just about any other group of people I've ever been around.

I totally agree. I guess it's easier to go after things like this, with the blessing of the "PC" crowd, than it is to go after cheating at big time Universities.

I haven't seen a fountain coke in years. The cokes that you purchase at the concession stand are in plastic bottles......usually 20oz.

Actually, I like Dolly's character better. I also liked Tom Skerritt's character. You may or may not know this, but the movie was filmed in Natchitoches, LA (where the author of the play is from).....home of our former SLC rivals Northwestern State. Also they really do have that Christmas river festival that is shown in the movie.

Now THAT'S a great use of stats!

I believe the original question was non-conference rival. Even though none of them will play us on a regular basis, I vote for TCU, SMU and Texas Tech.

Rick, take care of your family first. My prayers are with you.

As a MGC member, I can go to the deck, but unless some of my football friends want me to go there for a beer, it just doesn't interest me. When it comes to game day, I guess my whole point of view is just too "blue collar". I prefer to hang out with the tailgaters and then hang out in the stands. The idea of luxury boxes don't do much for me either. If I wanted to watch a football game in "air conditioned comfort", I'd stay at home and watch it on TV. I guess that I've just spent my whole football watching life in the stands for too long.

Sand-casted by metal technology students on campus in 1959, the original tube was mounted on a tow- behind trailer that had been the rear frame and axle of a Willis army jeep. Looks like your research made it into the"W.E.". With all due respect to the Swartzs', I think that the victory bell should have been mounted on a trailer. When you do that, you can "potentially" take it to some out of town games, and you can also pull it around campus whenever you want to have a spontaneous spirit event. When I went to North Texas games during the 60's I mainly remember the spirit bell. I also remember the cannon, but my strongest memories are of the bell being pulled up and down the track after each score. Even if the bell was on a trailer now, pulling it up and down the track would be very difficult because of all the extra "stuff" in and around the two benches. However (if it was on a trailer), it could be located in front of the student section/band. Also, since the original trailer was the rear frame/axle of a Willis Army Jeep, a restored Willis Jeep would make an excellent "on-campus-game-day" tow vehicle. In any case, I think that a "story board" needs to be made to be displayed by the cannon and bell during game day, so that the casual student can learn about these great North Texas traditions. Because, you see, one of the reasons that the "casual" student remains "casual" is because they think that North Texas doesn't have any traditions. As a tradition, the Bell goes all the way back to the beginnings of the school.
