NT80

We haven't done anything in OOC games lately to prove otherwise.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

"...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!

That is a failure of coaching to make during-game adjustments and take advantage of what a defense is giving you. You know teams will defense us for run first, it's obvious (to some anyway) that you need a counter for a stacked line. Doh!

"Following his four-year stint at NAU, Kragthorpe became the offensive coordinator at North Texas in 1994, spending two years with the Mean Green. At North Texas, he coordinated an offense that led the conference in total offense. While there, he coached quarterback Mitch Maher who broke single-season school records for passing yards and total offense." Before Dickey was hired I believe Kragthorpe was asked if he would apply for the opening. He was at A&M then as an assistant and declined. Thus, ..oh, never mind, you know the rest....

humm..... 1965 Skelly Stadium was enlarged to 40,235 seats. The track was removed, the field lowered and box seats added. The excavated dirt was used to support the new south end zone stands. Seating was added to the west stands plus a new two story press box, escalator and elevator.

Skelly Stadium's official capacity now is only 35,000. It had been 40K until they tore down the north endzone seats for an athletic center in Feb. 2005. Top crowds listed before then were 40-47K. Skelly Stadium bio and photo

humm....well, at least it's not 65-0, but it's not 27-24 either.

Sounds like he was being pressured out and he jumped at a good opportunity, although at 1/4 the salary.

Courtney Howard bio

"Orsini wouldn't reveal what the violation was, other than to say it was secondary and that all violations are taken seriously." Rhett Bomar called SMUt officials last spring from OU without permission to ask them some ethics and athlete employment questions.

..at least that part, yes. Wouldn't you like to hear him say: "SMUt is just a bunch of worthless f-ers....!"

I believe the game is at 6pm Saturday in Akron. You could also drive to Canton, only about 15 miles away, before the game Saturday to see the Pro Football Hall of Fame too.

I'd like to hear Dickey talk about opponents like he does fans.

What is the status/use of the old men's gym "snakepit"? Could it be updated and used for a dedicated indoor practice basketball-only facility? Or do they want to build something new and multi-court at Eagle Point? Baseball would be nice too. But the Big Dog in college sports as far as image, revenue and conference reallignments is and always will be Football. While Fouts is currently serviceable, it has limited physical and mechanical life left. The faster we replace it with a more fan-friendly and true 1-A venue capable of hosting larger programs, then the faster all other sports will reap the benefits of increased revenue and perhaps a better conference to compete in.

Very wishful thinking. It's the missing Keystone of the whole program. I hope for an update about this Saturday (sure). Are we even actively seeking any donors to this project? I've heard nothing about it in well over a year. New Stadium = CUSA

Too funny. I love it when a BCS or especially a Big?12 school gets caught. As one fan suggested: DEATH PENALTY for OU!

Thus my asking of earlier questions; for those who questioned the questions.

Yes, what he said. P.S. - I received the info anyway from a GMG friend.
