  1. You're telling me Wyoming, Troy, Arkansas State, Henderson State, SE Louisiana, etc. are more appealing? We need some people to have confidence in their recruiting voices about UNT, not whispering from around corners in shadows.
  2. Bogus. Like the writer mentions, schools like Wyoming (not to mention other SBC schools) just walk in and take recruits right out from under us while we play the stupid waiting game. To me the lack of UNT's name after recruits hurts the schools image to fans and recruits and is a negative. If I'm a player considering UNT and I see no peers listing UNT I'm wondering what's wrong with the place. If you can't sell UNT from the start then maybe we need better sellers!
  3. It's actually an interesting view from the lower theater seats, although different because I am sure it's the only place as a fan you'd look up at the court from your seat. "The Stage" is special, but bizarre.
  4. It is very sad that we have lowered ourselves to looking forward to a SMUt game.
  5. Doesn't OU only control him only for this season if they won't release him and he wants to transfer? Then he would be free to go on his own after this year but would have to sit another year for the transfer, but anywhere he wants? How about the rumor he would skip college football all together and try minor league baseball for one year before being eligible for the NFL draft?
  6. Why can't we.......oh, never mind........
  7. No way Jose! He opted for the Big Time and Bright Lights, send him to the Big House! I've heard no remorse from him or admittance of anything. He needs to spend some time at a lower level and do some soul-searching. Not here.
  8. Denton is the most non-supportive 1-A college football town in America.
  9. I could live with it being done in 2012, if that was the actual date. It's the no date, no timeline, no information that kills momentum for a project like this. I know it's all based on $ and we don't have enough yet, but no updates sure won't produce any. I know MGC members that had no idea a new stadium was even in the planning stages or that the new AC has a football locker room under it and will be in the south endzone of that new stadium, some year. If MGC members know nothing about it, the average alum or Denton public sure knows nothing about it. And thus won't give anything toward it's completion.
  10. WW has the arm strength of the other two, but he is not as accurate as Phillips in my opinion. Most WRs are not tackled by linebackers but by smallish DBs, and not head on like a QB usually is hit. WW needs to take it to the sidelines when he is confronted as a QB; he'll learn that one way or the other.
  11. WW has some speed and athletic talent. But if he keeps the ball and turns up field like he did in the spring (too much) then he will be hurt by Mr. Linebacker very early in the season. His arm is no better than the other two but he does have an element of quickness they don't. I see WR in his future.
  12. That will be the same for NT this season.
  13. USAToday Coaches' poll
  14. I was very impressed with Phillips in the spring.
  15. That's the first athletic comment I've seen attributed to the new Prez... When and what else did she say?
  16. o-fer-out of conference again this year is unacceptable. It was unacceptable last year; and every year it has happened.
  17. We haven't done anything in OOC games lately to prove otherwise.
  18. Yes, if you can't beat a team because they have better athletes then you have to out-guess their strategy, or change yours. Fry's team had many different looks. DD has had to slowly admit we're not a run-only team and open it up some. His staff used to make good halftime adjustments until that USM game and last season. USM was very athletic but we gave them some by not using the shotgun enough for the QB and trying too many gut runs. You saw the result.
  19. I know those reasons, although there's probably as many Schooner fans in DFW as Tulsa. He was just saying they wouldn't play in a small venue because OU could make $5 mil at a home game. The $ is true, but they will still play at a small venue sometimes like a Tulsa, as well as TCU for those that don't think they make double DFW trips.
  20. I see from the uT site that the single-game tickets for NT are $50. I see no info about them on the NT athletic site, but they probably know (maybe?).... North Texas Athletic Ticket Office Phone: (940) 565-2527 / (800) 868-2366 E-Mail: ticketoffice@unt.edu
  21. So why do they go play at 35,000 seat Tulsa then? I know we can't get OU to Fouts, but with a newer (modern) facility we could lure some BCS types. SMUt does. Flex rates? You mean variable ticket prices? Many schools do for different games. Note the different prices for the uT games this season: 2006 Ticket Prices Season Tickets: $365 09/02 vs. North Texas (Austin): $50 09/09 vs. Ohio State (Austin): $85 09/16 vs. Rice (Houston): $72/$52 09/23 vs. Iowa State (Austin): $55 09/30 vs. Sam Houston State (Austin): $45 10/07 vs. Oklahoma (Dallas): $85 10/14 vs. Baylor (Austin): $55 10/21 vs. Nebraska (Lincoln, Neb.): $65 10/28 vs. Texas Tech (Lubbock): $85 11/04 vs. Oklahoma State (Austin): $55 11/11 vs. Kansas State (Manhattan, Kan.): $70 11/24 vs. Texas A&M (Austin): $85
  22. No, you charge $80 a ticket (BCS prices) instead of the regular $15 for the OU home game. Most programs charge according to opponent's desirability. $15 x 30,000 = $450,000 $80 x 30,000 = $2,400,000 Give OU a $1 Million to come to Fouts and we still make $1.4 Mil.
  23. "...in conjunction with the Dec. 22 I-AA championship, which will become the "Division I football championship." Shouldn't that now become the Subdivision I football playoff championship? Make up their minds!
