UNT 90 Grad

At 2:30pm today, ESPN was doing a special on Texas College Football. Unfortunately I couldn't hear any of it because I was in a restaurant and the sound wasn't turned up. They had the helmets for the Texas FBS teams lined up behind the commentators, most of which you couldn't see most of the time. However, in the dead center were the Texas and North Texas helmets getting the most exposure. Unfortunatly, they had slapped a white face mask on the North Texas helmet rather than a black face mask like they actually use. I called someone and asked them to DVR it in case they talked of UNT. Based on the clips shown, I don't think we got much love at all. Anyone see this?

Maybe he took Flag Football while he was at North Texas. I did that. Maybe I should start putting on my bio that I played football at North Texas.

Does anyone know if the 2009 football schedule posters are out yet? I usually make the trip to Denton to pick up a few each year for the kids, office, local Sports Clips, etc. Seems like the Athletic Office has had them by the fireworks show in the past. Anyone know?

Possibly. Here is some more info on Katie. http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/news.cfm...6156E9F92D1E568 (I'm not a stalker, just curious.) Looks like she was still at UNT as of May of last year.

Sort of related: Which Srappy head do you prefer of recent years? The older spikey/pointy head: The current rounded backed head: I'm a bit partial to the older of the two. (Don't you love offseason topics?) Maybe it's because we used to win with the spikey Scrappy. Much higher intimidation factor.

If we changed the fight song, would you have to change your alias?

This won the Emergency Brake of the Week on The Ticket. Hilarious. I remember being on the field next to a police officer as the speech was being made. We suggested a sobriety test was in order. We later learned that Ron was likely thrown off by the speaker echo/delay at Fouts.

I like how when you are using the editor and selecting from the pallete, there is a green called "Northern Texas". What's that Rodney Dangerfield saying again?

fixed.

Interesting. Scout.com says this game will start at 6:30pm Eastern and meangreensports.com says the game will start at 6:30pm Central. I wonder which is correct. Just wondering if I'll have to leave work early to catch the game on the tube live.

Things seemed to go down hill after Scott Hall graduated, coincidence or not. It would be nice to see another Hall under center...uh...I mean behind center, although I think there is no relation between Scott and Javia.

Very cool! Here's the link: http://www.star-telegram.com/332/story/1316268.html

As long as you are working on death-by-bacon recipes, you could give this one a try too. http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/

Just saw a blurb on the news about the tornado that went through Murfreesboro today. Say a quick prayer for Blue Raider Fan and our other MTSU friends. http://cbs11tv.com/national/Tennessee.torn...s.2.981994.html

Hi Nancy , Thank goodness this year we were allowed to watch practices, as long as we stayed on the other side of the fence (off the practice field itself). I didn't make it to a practice either, but enjoyed the reports that some on this board provided.

The defense is letting up on the QB, even before the grace whistle blows. Makes it a bit difficult to read how dominating the offense has been, but I tend to agree with you.

Got it back now. Never mind.

Did any one else lose the stream here in the 4th quarter? Ahhh. Memories of the Troy game and others last year.

Anyone? Do you remember how long the spring games went in past years?

Yes, and they describe it as the "STADIUM KICKOFF TAILGATE PARTY", which will be held in the blue lot at Fouts, not at the new stadium site. Also, apparently the tag line for this year is "BELIEVE IT!" They use this phrase once after "NORTH TEXAS FOOTBALL '09" on the front of the card and once on the back with the stadium kickoff tailgate party. It is difficult to tell what the ambiguous "IT" is that we are to believe in. Does anyone know what the duration of the Spring Game is supposed to be? I believe in recent years the game was timed (i.e. clock doesn't stop). I'd like to go to the game, but I have several scheduling conflicts I'm trying to work through. Go Mean Green! I'm ready for some football!

Does anyone know what time the spring game will start on April 4th?

Don't know if you ever noticed the link earlier in the thread, but the story is posted at .

Here is a link to the piece for those that missed it. (Sorry about the flashing trial text.)

Found the pic online. Greatness.
