Can we sign their coach also?

Dr. Pohl is a quality person and a bargain at that price. I wish we had 3 more of him in other places of higher admin at UNT.

Texas shot 40 percent from the field; North Texas shot 25 percent. Slinker's teams always go cold in the big games.

Reminds me of the NT at La Tech game. Just going thru the motions.

I saw a set on an SUV in Plano tonight as I passed it in a parking lot, but it was too dark to see the shade of green. I plan to order some too, they look better than the old ones.

I have one, and although it's the wrong logo from his playing days (should be # only on the side and single green stripe), it's still nice....from eBay, ends Sunday.... Abner Haynes signed NT mini helmet

It doesn't look too bad in that drawing, but I saw another that made the outside of it look like MUT'S stadium, a lot of aluminum and exterior supports. Why don't they design stadiums more like Memphis' Liberty Bowl? It has taller single-level sideline seat sections then curving down to fewer endzone seats, instead of the same level all the way around. Liberty Bowl stadium

We'll find out next Wednesday. Without UNT in it, look for a small writeup likewise on about page 7, or whatever page the general college notes are on.

I heard we tried for OSU a couple years back and OSU refused to play at Fouts, they wanted Texas Stadium. Fouts is a setback more than fans realize.

Unfortunately, true.

Houston, Rice, and UTEP would all make nice series.

I like that idea!

They could at least take committments. A person picks out seats then gets billed when the # games and price is known. There are ways to keep pushing season tickets, even in the off season, if we really wanted to. If not the personal touch at basketball games, link a web site of Fouts seats available and a way for someone to reserve it. Like an airline reservation you "x" out the seats, then leave a contact address for billing. It could run itself with just a software program. I would make some seat location changes today if I knew what was available and the means to do it online; I'd also tell potential season-ticket friends to check it out.

UNT released it's schedule last year way earlier than it normally does, then had it change about 5 times. They also included a tentative 2006 schedule, but I think it lacked a 12th game. I've already seen 2 posted versions of next years schedule, with only 11 games, but both differed on open weeks. The actual schedule is probably still too fluid to release yet as "official", thinking fans would book rooms and flights based on it. I would like to see us selling season tickets already for next year, why wait on that? Announce the known home games and a price. Set up a booth at basketball games and have a large seating chart of Fouts showing open available seats as of last season.

I sense a LOT of pent up frustration from much of the fandom, I among them. We desire a new football stadium, better coaching and results, more attendance, and a much better conference to play in. We're like kids in the back of the car on a long trip asking every season "Are we there yet? When are we going to get there?". These side-road excursions to 2-9 seem to just add more time to our trip. There is one answer to all our questions...$. We don't have enough of it. $ would build that stadium, pay to buyout contracts, buy new contracts for "name" applicants, pay game guarantees to lure better teams to Denton, and pay for much-needed better advertising; all of which = more attendance = a better conference. Pull over to the rest stop if you want, but $ should be the last thing you stop giving. BTW- Those $ would flow more freely if 2009 is REALLY on the books as a date for a new stadium! It wouldn't hurt for some higher-ups in UNT's administration to make a statement of support for such a project. Show us the LOVE!

They can start consolidating by merging TWU into UNT. Two State-funded universities with duplicate programs 5 miles apart is a waste.

Former UNT, Tech coach wins in I-AA At Appalachian State, Texan can become king of the I-AA hill 09:41 PM CST on Thursday, December 15, 2005 By BRIAN DAVIS / The Dallas Morning News Jerry Moore left college football's rat race years ago for a coaching assignment far from the big-money, high-profile lifestyle of Division I-A. The former North Texas and Texas Tech head coach couldn't imagine a better setup than what he has at Division I-AA Appalachian State in Boone, N.C. But even small schools have their own set of headaches."I'll show you how much things have changed since leaving Texas," Moore said by phone while looking out at Kidd Brewer Stadium, a 43-year-old facility that holds just 16,650. "As I'm looking out the window, they're pushing the snow off our game field here. They're getting our field ready to have some practices." Appalachian State (enrollment 13,000) spent the last month digging through the NCAA playoffs. Moore and the Mountaineers can capture their first national title today against Northern Iowa in the Division I-AA championship in Chattanooga, Tenn. Moore, 66, said dozens of friends from the coaching fraternity have called this week. Several phone messages have Texas area codes. For this Bonham, Texas, native, the calls brought the memories rushing back. Moore led Baylor in receptions in 1958 and helped the Bears reach the Gator Bowl in 1960. In 1965, SMU coach Hayden Fry hired Moore to join his coaching staff. Moore was in Dallas for eight seasons until Nebraska coach Tom Osborne hired him just before the 1973 Orange Bowl. Moore would become the Huskers' offensive coordinator in 1978. Moore returned to Texas in 1979 when he replaced Fry as head coach at North Texas. In two seasons, Moore was 11-11 and then was hired away by Texas Tech. His five-year stint in Lubbock wasn't one of the school's best. The Red Raiders were 16-37-2 from 1981 to 1985. Moore left coaching for a couple of years before joining Ken Hatfield's staff at Arkansas in 1988. Appalachian State called the following spring, and Moore was named the school's head coach on March 4, 1989. He's posted a winning record in 16 of the last 17 years and reached the NCAA playoffs 11 times, getting as far as the national semifinals three times before this season. Moore's record at ASU is 139-67, which makes him the all-time winningest coach in school and Southern Conference history. Texas Tech assistant head coach Ruffin McNeill worked for Moore at ASU for two stints during the 1990s. McNeill remembers Moore as a coach who was level-headed, intense and competitive. Coaching is coaching and winning is winning, McNeill said. Just because Moore is winning at a Division I-AA school doesn't lessen the importance of the accomplishment. "When we won the first conference championship [in 1991], it felt just like it did when we won the Holiday Bowl last year at Tech," McNeill said. "The kids may not be quite as tall or not quite as fast. But most of the time, we've had just as many guys drafted as anybody." People who know of Moore's past ask the inevitable question: How is Division I-AA different from I-A, where football is king and an appearance in the Bowl Championship Series is worth at least $14 million? "Now, if you're talking about the top 80 schools in I-A, it's light years' difference," Moore said. "But compared to the rest of them, I'd rather be here." And yes, Division I-A should have a playoff, Moore said. "I go back a long time," Moore said. "The tradition of the bowls is a hindrance to a playoff. The bowls have been so good to college football that it's hard to snub those guys, and nobody would truly want to. But it appears to me that you could do something with the last two or four games, almost like they're doing now." Appalachian State is about to start a $40 million renovation project that will expand the stadium and build other needed facilities. A championship would only add to the school's allure, he figures. So don't expect Moore to jump back into Division I-A anytime soon. "During our conversation time, I can see our field," Moore said. "They got it cleared off. This is going to be a really good day." Backup QB proved a savior in semifinal Montana eliminated Appalachian State in the 2000 Division I-AA semifinals with a 19-16 overtime win. Jerry Moore hung his sideline pass in his locker so he could look at it every day for motivation. Last Saturday's sideline pass is also hanging his locker now. ASU lost starting quarterback Richie Williams in the first quarter of its national semifinal against Furman. Backup Trey Elder led the Mountaineers to a 29-23 victory in what one North Carolina columnist called the best game in school history. You'd be surprised how much noise 15,307 people can make. "You couldn't hear yourself think," Moore said. Williams has a strained tendon in his left ankle. Whether he can play tonight will be a game-time decision, ASU said.

(ESPN2) JERRY MOORE Age: 66 (born July 18, 1939) Family: Married to the former Margaret Starnes, also a Baylor graduate. The couple have three children (Chris, Scott and Elizabeth) and six grandchildren. Record at Appalachian State: 139-67 (17th season) NCAA playoff record: 9-10 (11 appearances) Overall coaching record: 166-115-2 (24th season) ASU players he coached include: former Cowboys LB Dexter Coakley; Ravens TE Daniel Wilcox ....................................................................... Personal sidenote: I'm not a big Jerry Moore fan. He took talent Fry left at NT and wrecked it trying to run the Nebraska I-back offense. Tech found out the same thing. Rots of Ruck!

0-12 with a first year coach or 2-9 with an 8-year coach, there's not much difference. Wanna guess who will be 8-4 first?

He may regret that if Tulsa doesn't keep winning.

Take the "over".

The injury concerns me, will he be 100% by spring ball? I'll reserve judgement on him until I see the results. We should have signed a JUCO QB last year (and I know about the one that got away to Neb...many other JCs out there).
