Was Rahagene Cherry (6'2"X 310lbs) not invited back this fall. I thought he did pretty well in the spring. I believe he's originally from Plano and transferred from Abilene Christian. He seems like a player who could, for the most part, keep the middle clogged up.

Just curious, but who are these Freshmen, and how did they get selected to be honored at Joe T's?

First of all, this is a privacy issue. And the athletic dept (or the school for that matter) is not going to make any sort of comment.....nor should they. Now, even if it wasn't a privacy issue, has anyone been paying attention to how forthcoming the North Texas athletic department has been with information in the last five years? Recruiting comes to mind as my prime example.

My question as well. I can't believe that they would waste "rep" time with him this fall.

Post of the week.

Does that mean we get to use their stadium?

Well, speaking for myself, I'm living in the DFW area, and it's the middle of July. How do you suppose I can tell for sure.

In 1994(?) the university changed the name back to Scrappy because the students felt that "Eppy" was a stupid name.

I think that I've asked this before, but is James Battle in any way related to Ron Battle who played for North Texas in 77, 78 and 80? Ron Battle also played one year for the Rams in 1981.

The Star-Telegram article said that he was going to SFA.

Friendships are like tea bags. You don't know really know how strong they are until you're both immersed in hot water.

Not only no, but Hell no!

He was offered a "ship" at Rice? Hmmmm, I'm just guessing here, but I don't think we should have any eligibility concerns with this young man.

He spent all spring at the RB position. And as I recall, he did a good job and got off several good runs. I don't remember if they ever threw the ball to him or not during spring practice.

.....I was thinking that they needed more "personal time" (make that vigorous personal time) with thier wives/girlfriends and/or significant others.

AT, I have the greatest respect for people who struggle through hard times (and I mean REALLY hard times!) and never waiver in their relationship commitments. You mentioned that some Doctors will look at this situation, and because they are clueless about what to do, they will say that the patient has psychological problems. Just as may times (or actually, more times) a less-than-committed spouse will do the same thing. It would be their excuse to bail out. Your situation is very symbolic to the "fan commitment" situation that North Texas has struggled with for decades. For years (actually decades) I've heard people make comments like "yeah, I went to North Texas but I'm not going to attend their games until they start winning some big games on a regular basis, or be accepted in the B-12 or CUSA"etc etc........or whatever. Many times when I hear this I'm thinking in my mind "well, God help your spouse if she ever did something like, put on a little weight, got a wrinkle or so, or came down with a long term illness". I don't pray much, but I'll certainly say one for your wife.....and you as well. I had a professor at North Texas once tell our class that North Texas' Latin motto translates to roughly "Keep on, Keep'in on". AT, I think you are the embodiment of that motto. Take care

Jim, if you didn't "jump off the top of Fouts field" when we lost to FIU last year......AT HOME...then I seriously doubt you would if we were to lose to Tulsa and/or LaTech. I'm rather ambivalent about Emmitt's scenario. It's a real test of how credible North Texas has become in the eyes of the football world, as well as a test of RV's selling/negotiating abilities. I think I might go for it.

I sorta wish we had the same promotional people that we did back in 1988 when they helped sell out Fouts field for the first time in it's history........as a 1-AA school.

You know, I would think that by it's nature, that "compression gear" would have a very limited customer base. Or at least it should.

Something like this would be a good money making project for the Talons. Since they are a sanctioned University spirit organization, and they are NON-PROFIT, they don't have to mess with the licensing stuff. Rick and I know someone who could do the shirts, and I think that some organizations on campus have used a t-shirt shop in Denton. The most difficult part of it is getting the art-work done......and oh yeah,...finding some responsible students to see the project through. Rick did most of the "EYES OF NORTH TEXAS" art work on his computer. The people that printed the shirts only touched it up a little.

Harry, I'm with Grey on this. Jamario is very special and so is what he accomplish last year. But in order to keep people from dismissing his accomplishments as a "flash in the pan", we need to put Patrick right up there with him to show that North Texas has got something really special going on.

When would it have been that USM wanted to be like UNT? The 70's, when we had Hayden? (Back before they expanded Roberts Stadium). RV wasn't there then. So, I don't know where you got that nonsense from...... BTW...the Guiness Book of World Records just called. You're two inane posts away from a new record. You'll have it by 6:15.

A white clock with green neon around the rim. That would be cool.

I've been meaning to ask. Does anyone know how much cooler (temperature-wise) this new surface will be than the old surface? I've heard some absolutely alarming reports about the surface temperature early in the season on that old surface. Anyone?

According to my source, Nicolas Emfinger (#65) is no longer with the team.
