I assume by travel time you mean for away games. Hank normally wouldn't be entertaining potential donors to away games anyway. RV is usually at home basketball games in his courtside seats, many times by himself. I'm sure he would be happy to escort Hank's next big donor to the game. Come on, give them some credit for knowing how to handle a potential donor. It's not like there is ten millionaires coming thru the door every day wanting to see a JJ home game with Hank or else they're taking their money to SMUt. Geez.

It was mentioned when this fundraising firm was hired last fall that results would be back to NT in mid-January (2007). Shortly after mid-January the $1.5 stadium donation was announced officially at the basketball game as a kickoff for the new stadium. Coincidence? I think the fundraising campaign is further along than just the "what-if" phase.

Another meltdown last night at home to a 14-14 team. One SBC coach this season said UNT has the most athletic conference team, which further leads me to believe it's the coaching failing us. Reminds me of another UNT basketball coach recently that could recruit but not do Xs and Os. When does spring football begin?

Hank is not the only fundraiser in the Athletic Department. I'm sure a major donor will get the attention he needs, chill.

Hank does a great job on the broadcasts and we are lucky to have a quality broadcast team like Hank & George. Just listen to some other school's radio guys sometime (try Smut's for a real laugh) and you'll see how fortunate we are.

I thought the best news from Hanks report was the initial stadium size now appears to be 40K instead of 32K as in the original plans. I believe the funding is closer than some think and I expect to hear about a definite time line and lower-$-donor campaign this spring. Judging by all the "new stadium" talk the NT administration is mentioning in the past 6 months it appears to be on the top of RV's to-do list. Placing baseball on the back burner until the new football stadium happens also says it's a priority. Fouts has limited life left as a structure before costly renovations are needed. This will help push the issue.

**warning** turn down the volume if you're at work. Too bad they have UNT's old unis in the promo.... http://www.theblackdiamondgroup.net/sunbel...oot/sunbelt.htm

It only makes sense to recruit DFW-area kids. It's more local advertising for UNT in the area papers and makes inroads to the local high schools for general student recruitment. Local players also attract local family and friends to NT games. If you google the name "Todd Dodge" you'll find 39,700 entries!

AD's are not normally groomed to replace another. There are AD searches conducted just like for coaches when one leaves. And who is to say Hank won't leave before RV? He almost got the AD job at A$M-CC last year.

Then it's built by the same company that built SLC's because it was on Carroll's "google" page. Check out the likeness to these "real" Carroll Stadium photos.... http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...l%3Den%26sa%3DN

bump.....a good chance to hear Coach Dodge talk about NT's upcoming season.

I can live with 40,000 seats to start. That will be better than SMUt's stadium and we can host almost any program with that size stadium. BUILD IT !

You are already part of a group called Mean Green Fans. Why do you have to start a new group? Just come to games and bring friends.

USA had second longest winning streak at 13 games broken by FIU. FIU trailed by about 16 points with 18 minutes to play.

"Two Vanderbilt players acting like Aggies" ?

That should read "commit$". Any school with a $40 million athletic budget has no excuse, ever, to not have succe$$. The right coach helps too, and A&M is fortunate to have Gillespie. But how long can they keep him? He loves to rebuild programs, not maintain them.

NT lost to #10 UT again 7-1.

NT Softball lost Friday night 2-10 to UT. NT lost Saturday afternoon to SDSU 0-4. NT plays UT again today at 5pm.

If you missed Coach Dodge speaking at the NT Football Banquet, here's another chance..... http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...CRIBER_CONTENT=

Thank God, er RV!

Man, get out of there now, you've swallowed too much dust! Save yourself before it's too late and the cows start looking good to you too. Wreck Tech!
