Worse things could happen to us than Plumm being AD...of course, there is always that 3% chance of final judgement, which could screw up Plumm's plans for UNT athletics.

Man,I remember that Colorado State game in Denton...Joe Greene spent more time in the CSU backfield than their running backs did.

I rest my case about our game being their NCAA playoff game. I cannot imagine us generating a t-shirt for our game next year vs. UTA. Our relationship with UTA is kinda like SMU's relationship with us.

Seems to me that we have lost to UTA in the past and still had good seasons. We are UTA's NCAA playoff game. They were at home in their weird gym (which should have never been sanctioned for NCAA division I play) and had more experience...oddly, they even had a bit of a crowd. They will be very average when they move to a real basketball arena.

The only thing UTSA brings to the table is their market...assuming that they have the San Antonio market...I think that UT pretty much has the San Antonio market.

As I emailed RV over a year ago, there needs to be a student marketing group made up of representatives from Talons, NT 40, dorm reps, Greeks, etc. Let them loose and they'll get the kids to the games...just give them what they want, if practical. The kids know what the kids want as an incentive to come to the games. Of course, this takes time and organization....................

We win...details to follow.

Looks great....a good compliment to the Apogee coin that the Denton chapter did for football. Both will be great collector items.

I have noticed from where I sit that I can see the big KA sign on the hill...this means they can see our section from where they are drinking, etc. So how about a big sign for section 206 that says "Hey Greeks, drink another beer and forget about your team!" Or,"Hey Greeks, what ever you do, don't enter the stadium!"

If he wins, will he wear the crown during the second half of the game?

Pete Elliott?

Since I survived the 60's, I get a little nervous when I see the Weather Underground mentioned. For those of you who are not old enough, I believe the Weather Underground in the 60's was a terror cell of some sort.

I particularly liked that on the recording Dan said "This is your football coach, Dan McCarney." Really liked the YOUR.

What a pitiful situation that the athletic department should basically be asked to say that their product is secondary to another product and even broadcast that product. What have the Rangers ever done for you? Any Texans even on the Ranger team? Good God, stay home and watch the pros or come to the football game and support your team. Don't ask your team to bend over and take it from the Rangers.

Well said, Gray Eagle.

How we do against LaLa this Saturday will have a huge impact on attendance. If we win, we'll still get a crowd...if we lose, it will be another reason for the fence sitters to just stay home and watch the world series.

The biggest rivals that NT football has is the city of Denton and Denia neighborhood.

Not sure if all the other member schools have the SBC logo, but I cannot remember one that does not--other than us. I know Troy does, Ark.St. does, Middle Tennessee does, ULM does and Lafayette does. Can't remember about the Florida schools.

Brought a fraternity brother and his wife to the Indiana game...they had not been to a game since the early 70s...they both loved it and joined the alumni association and are talking about season tickets for next year. For homecoming another fraternity brother in Arkansas is coming to the game for the first time since the 80's. Slowly but surely we can get this attendance bumped up.

I'm not saying I have any inside information....I just find it curious that there is no reference to the Sun Belt at the stadium. This, coupled with the fact that Rawlins is very connected, leads me to believe that efforts are being made to make NT a player in this reshuffle. Size of university, television market, alumni base and our recent upgrade of facilities makes us a player. The success of football right now will have some bearing, but not totally when conferences scour the landscape for candidates. All sports but football are cruising rather nicely. Upgrade in women's basketball and football (the two problem areas in the past) seem to have been addressed. So, we are open for business.

I still maintain that there is a reason that there is no Sun Belt logo or artwork at Apogee. I am convinced that there is far more going on behind the scenes than we know. I have faith in President Rawlins...plus he is well connected in the NCAA circles. Stay tuned.

A discussion of SMU and attendance is an oxymoron.

It will be interesting to see if a SunBelt logo ever shows up at Apogee.

There are far too many people who work for the university with far too little to do. May I suggest night school or a bowling league?
