Coolest shirt I saw was worn by a young woman, and the back said,"I love GOD,sweet tea, and The University of North Texas". I was too slow to catch up with her and ask where she got it..

In the real world the ticket manager should be replaced. However, state institutions are similar to U.S. government. Responsibility without accountability.

I didn't many name coaches breaking down the door for the Texas job. Wonder why?

We don't travel well during the season,period. Bowl games are a different story, as we did o.k. going to New Orleans. I would hope that we get a chance to play in the Armed Forces bowl in Ft. Worth, and think with our strong showing at HOD bowl we should. What our immediate goal should be is to get some HOD attendees to find their way to Denton during regular season.

Harry,suggest you contact Eric Capper, explain lack of program availability at game,and ask him to follow up with HOD bowl. He should be able to get whatever was left over, and make them available thru the ticket office[i'm sorry guys. I just couldn't help myself]. At any rate, I'm sure Eric would help if asked.

I have club seats,and from my observation they are far from being sold out.I really have no idea how many season ticket holders we have ,but saw a blurp in DMN that TCU has grown theirs from 6,000 to 32,000[. wonder how many SMU has]

At our age my wife and I are pretty much duds on New Years evening,plus my college roommate from the 60's and his wife came in overnight for the HOD game.However, I bet it would have been a great experience to have stayed at the Omni, gone to the UNT party and then the game the next day.Ah,to go back 25 years ago when I drank.However children, that's a story for another day.

For those of us who have attended both the New Orleans Bowl and Heart of Dallas Bowl, how would you compare your experience?

Rick, great looking family. Thanks to you and yours for your continued support of North Texas athletics.

Now if we can get some of the 37,000 + Eagle fans to follow the bread crums to Denton during regular season.

Just asking, but does anyone think that the outgoing president of UNLV/incoming president of UNT was responsible for the Rebels getting an invite out of the blue?

I found the very small vendor stand on our side [entrance G] and bought a program for $5, the only place that I could find any being sold. Any idea why no one was hawking programs?

I hope we do as well as Ft. Worth bowl.

I don't know who is in picture, and really can't even tell where it was taken. I was a freshman in 1961, had grown up in south side of Ft. Worth, and never gone to school with a person of color until I attended NTSU.At that time,black female students lived in the Quads dorm,and to my knowledge black male athletics lived with the other jocks. I lived in West dorm[only male dorm on campus] for a semester,never saw a black male student there and assumed that there was no other university housing available.I recall that the city of Denton was segregated until summer of 1962, but have slept since then and am not sure of the date. I took a one hour blow off course called "Coaching in Football",and the teacher was one of the assistant football coaches.I was sitting next to A.D. Whittfield,future running back for Washington Redskins, when the coach one day started talking about making "n----r shooters" as a kid.I felt like crawling underneath the table. Bottom line: discrimination because of race is not where it needs to be, but better than it has been.

How well does SMU and TCU do in the Houston market?Just asking. I know that A&M and LSU have scheduled a game there in the next few years to gain exposure.

Guys,I had same problem. However,my tickets were picked up by a friend who was getting his as well. Lets just chalk this up to "ticket office overload". Rick is doing his best to clean up the situation, and I am sure we won't have this issue in the future.

At this point in time, both the Southwest and Southeast conferences were segregated. If a black athlete wanted to stay in Texas, his options were basically North Texas or The University of Houston.Some great players, such as Bubba Smith, found their way into the Big Ten Conference.I don't remember any that played in the PAC 10, but I'm sure there were some.

Little Caesar Bowl looked liked it had more fans than reported.

section 25,row 39

never got a confirmation e-mail

When I ordered my tickets I thought I paid extra for fed ex delivery.However when I checked on their status today I was told that I had not,[i know I asked for fed ex when I placed my ticket order] .At any rate,I was told that they would be at Cotton Bowl "will call", which I wouldn't have known had I not followed up.Just a suggestion;if you don't get your tickets when everyone else does they probably left you off the fed ex list and put you on the" will call" list in error.They still have the "will call" tickets at university ticket office which you can pick up, but I don't think anything went out "snail mail".

Right,wrong, or indifferent, I think the HOD bowl will define his career.

I have 2 seats,which allows me to purchase 2 additional tickets on a game by game basis should friends wish to join us. The club seating has been a great experience for my wife, who is not really into sports, but enjoys the atmosphere. If you wish to try a game next year to see if it fits for you, I'm sure the ticket office would work with you. If not,pick a game, I will purchase 2 tickets,you reimburse me, and pick up at will call . Contact me at wardly1943@gmail.com next season if you need my assistance.

With an average attendance of only about 3,500 per game, what "name " coach would want the job?

I compare his career to Danny White's of Dallas Cowboy Fame.
