Am I the only one who has noticed the depth behind Chandler Morris? If Morris goes down, next up will be a freshman (albeit a pretty talented one) who has had only spring training experience. And then next up after him is a freshman right out of HS.

Kinda large (6'2" X 220) for an outstanding kick returner. The size of a fullback that can take a kickoff to the house.......a great combination.

If he's as good a QB as Sides is a receiver, then we have something very special going here.

There is no mention of his QB experience in HS in this bio. Just punter and safety. Drew Mestemaker - Football - University of North Texas Athletics (meangreensports.com)

Well the charges listed "superfund site or infrastructure". That sounds like the old missile base to me. Otherwise, the charges would have been just simple trespassing.

I wonder if they all decided to visit the old missile silo that NT owns just north of loop 288.....and got caught.

I'm going to the kick-off event in Aug 3rd and will get my printed tickets then. I've always had very good luck contacting this person in the ticket office.........hannah.drysdale@unt.edu. She advised me that printed tickets are available, for an extra $15.

Well if President Keller does do this, I'd like him to get back to us and just tell us a little something about our culture. Near as I can tell we don't really have one....😎

I'm glad for the positive publicity that this signing might generate. BUT until such time as when he is wearing a NT uniform and taking snaps in spring (or fall) practice.......meh.

Hayden Fry had a go at that, but I couldn't tell you how consistently he went after them. When I worked for the University on a moving crew, we set up an "impromptu" little pep rally on the Sanger town square complete with a pep band and cheerleaders. The message was that NTSU wanted to be "Sangers University". The cheerleaders went around to all the businesses on the "square" and asked them to help by letting them put schedule posters in their windows and season ticket applications by their check-out registers. I don't know how many other small communities he did this in, or how consistently he did it.

You and everyone else on this board know that that is a statistical impossibility......especially in Texas. "Indifferent" would be a better term for many of them, as well as "ambivalent" and/or "disappointed/disillusioned" .

The pop-up canopy is $179, the oversized chair is $39, as is the "camping table". The "fishing-type" shirts were $25. A bargain compared to what they cost just about anywhere else. The pop-up is too high for individuals, but Academy has put their 10X10 basic pop-up canopies on sale for $39. Check with the individual stores. They don't all have "green" in stock.

I've seen Academy sell these pop-up canopies for several years now. How hard could it be for someone in charge of NT gear-promotions to contact the company that makes these for Academy and ask how much they would charge to change the color scheme in order to turn it into a NT Battle Flag canopy. No new design. Just use the same pattern and change the color of the material used. The same with this.

I was in attendance at the first ever sell out at Fouts in its original 20.250 K capacity (at least that is what the announcer at Fouts declared) in 1989 vs SFA! The year before we traveled about 10K down to Texas. During that same era (late 80's) we had several other close calls and in 1990 we had a SRO crowd of 22K vs SMU. Have we ever had a 22K crowd vs SMU at APOGEE/DATCU? We were 1-AA back then. You know, that time in NT history that everyone moans and groans about these days. What I take away from this info is that we had someone who was in charge of promotions who was better at their job than anyone we've hired since. Someone who was a devoted NT graduate.

Don't laugh. During the Corkey Nelson era, "Shanda's Bail Bonds" used to do a fly over banner at the games.

My preference would be Wayne or Will. Or maybe even Ginger. Seeing someone play QB backwards and in heels would be pretty entertaining.....

Hmmm, I'm all for universities being hot beds of academia rather than sports, but I still don't get Rice. Hot beds of Academia for lack of a better word "produce" something for the benefit of mankind and the community. They do lots of research to make the world better, safer, and (in spite of what I've seen lately) more insightful. The Harvards, Princtons, Dukes, Stanfords and even the UTs and A&M's of the world are trying very hard to cure cancer, come up with more hardy and productive crops, improve renewable energy etc, etc. Their graduates and/or professors are constantly being asked to come on national news programs to discuss the latest medical, scientific, or legal challenge to our world, and what they are trying to do about it. None of those experts are ever from Rice. So to paraphrase one of my best supervisors at CPS....."It's not enough to be academically busy, the question is what are you academically busy about?"

Thanks. Well, for anyone wondering if he understands the importance of sports to a student body, that should answer it. And at the risk of sounding like "Mr. geography picayune", Plainview is near/close-to the panhandle, not in it.

Just idle curiosity. On his resume, it's mentioned that he grew up in the Texas panhandle, but a specific town was not listed.

He did a little more than lead the ND Marching Band.. Activities and Societies: Honors Program, Marching Band - Drum Major, Percussionist - Concert Band, Jazz Band, Symphony, Folk Choir I don't know if the national College Jazz Band competition is still being held at Notre Dame, but the 1 0'Clock got a lot of their national attention there in the early 60's.

OK, WAY over the top, but it at least it got your attention. It takes a lot to get the attention of North Texas fans......especially in the off season. AND at least four people liked it..😎 Seriously, the only thing that represents a "tradition" at NT is it's propensity for dealing with a problem by creating, (or allowing the creation of), some bureaucratic entity or group in which to pass the buck should someone have a complaint. And giving them the runaround is our most long-standing reaction to complaints/concerns. Why do we need a new spirit group when there is one that already exists......The TALONS. Why don't the Talons recruit a group of "maniacs" into their organization and populate the same student section? It's my understanding that the Talons have a budget and are given money for their organization every year. The Talons are supposed to be in charge of spirit at North Texas. If they aren't getting that done, (and it's my assessment that they aren't), then GET SOMEONE IN THERE THAT CAN, AND KEEP THE NAME OF ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING STUDENT SPIRIT GROUPS IN OUR SCHOOL'S HISTORY. Our mascot is the EAGLE. A group called the TALONS is the perfect name for an active student spirit organization.
