you have got to be out of your mind. The Texas A&M marching band is a much better college FOOTBALL band than the Green Brigade in every single aspect. How many times have you gotten pumped up over a NT FOOTBALL game music selection. What we play is not football atmosphere appropriate.

and we all wonder why NT is looked down upon.

Hey King, I don't doubt you a bit (would almost give my left testicle if it would help it happen) but why the North? I would think that Okie State would want to move North so they wouldn't have to lose to OU and UT every year. I wouldn't mind it a bit though.

$11.5M ???? That is some prime poon!

Savage burn? Or sly compliment?

Depends whether or not you provide input on the discussion.

just curious, I wonder what degree most SLC boosters hold; music, education, business, law?

How about a forum for one of NT's largest programs, Business? We could have intelligent conversations on investments, international policy, GAAP, strategic planning etc.

I swear this doesn't have to be this difficult. A little reading comprehension goes a long way. Your 1st sentence is correct, however, it doesn't address what I stated. The University can loan money to the athletic dept, they have done it before. You are correct, the admin and regents didn't have to approve the building of a stadium, however, the students passed the fee, the admin and regents approving the students decision doesn't exactly show support. How would it have looked to vote down something already voted on and passed by students? Yes, I am a donor. I give money to both the business dept and athletics. I said I went to the stadium groundbreaking and it was okay, how could that possibly translate into the stadium not being serious enough for me?

Another blocked PAT. I played for a 1A high school team and our kicking team was better than this.

First, I never mentioned a dollar amount in my post, don't have to pay a million to greatly upgrade our coach and most of staff. Yes, the university can spot the athletic some money, they've done it before. Show me they care? Get serious about our athletic dept in every aspect ie funding, salaries, research on coach hires, etc. I was at the groundbreaking, it was okay but nothing spectacular.

You are correct, the university could spot the athletic dept some dough to bring in a name coach and an entire experienced staff until the dedicated fee kicks in here. NT can do it if they truly cared and saw the importance of a quality hire. Whether they actually do it is yet to be seen. If the admin don't care, why should the alum?

Denton has to be home to some of the most ignorant, narrow minded, "I want to bitch about everything" type of people on earth.

I wonder if there has been talk behind the scenes for this to even be mentioned or if this is just pure speculation since Dodge's record is horrific and RV and Bower have ties.

this is funny, surprised nobody picked up and ran with this. I had a friend who was an alter boy

I think its a pride thing. Do you really think a former DI head coach would stay on at a program reporting to the urinal scrubber?

I am pretty sure portions of TD's contract has been posted on here, specifically the part about being re-assigned. RV can make him the new Diet Coke/laundry boy and TD can stay or chose to leave. If he chooses to leave (which I'm sure he would) we would owe him nada.

is Troy Franklin totally out of the mix for any type of playing time? I thought he was supposed to be a beast of a defensive linemen, then got moved to O-line, the best and deepest area on the team. I guess I was rooting for the small town guy to come in here and kick arse.

seems to have worked somewhat, maybe he should be on the sidelines every game from the beginning. How about we revive the "Green Team" and do away with any set starters. If you don't want to give 100% every single play, stand on the sidelines and watch.

I'm sorry but Riley can only do so much on offense and he can't do a darn thing on defense. I don't know the true % but I would have to say that 95% of the time when a team scores 49 pts they win the game. If WK had won yesterday, Riley would have still had his good stats just wouldn't have had the W. There a lot of areas this team needs improvement on; special teams is still killing us, pass defense, rush defense, etc. This TEAM needs to lead us victories over worthy teams, Riley can't do it alone.

there is an official sponsor of a certain website that has game watching parties for NT games. During the LaLa game, most of the bartenders and wait staff had UT or TT shirts on. I just shook my head and wondered what would happen in Austin or Lubbuck if that happened. I asked a young lady why she had a UT shirt on and she said the owner said they could and that she liked UT, even though she was a student at NT. I think we ought to jack up our entrance standards so high that only students that actually want to go to NT will get in, quit accepting everybody elses rejects.

Why? You try unsuccessfully at being funny quite often! (Now THAT was pretty damn funny)

My sister in law is Jewish, born and raised for a bit outside Netanya, and she used to fly home to see relatives twice a year. She sure won't now, said its a lot more dangerous now than ever before. Just her opinion from experience, take it for what its worth.
