i believe i am correct that the southland conference had 3 teams in " others receiving votes", while the belt had zip. is our conference that weak this year?

Clarification On Current Logo Design
wardly replied to MeanGreenEagle1's topic in Mean Green Football
i am not a lawyer, but i think the reason some universities and professional teams have high schools pay a $1 to use their logo is that you can't selectively choose when you ane going to protect your trademark and when you are not otherwise you will loose it.[i read this somewhere,sometime ] -
i don't disagree, but thought some of you might want input with paul.i'm sure any changes will be within branding guidelines regarding logos and color.{ i personally like the eagle claw, perhaps on the shoulder of our jersey}.at any rate, i remember seeing some cool designs posted in the past, and thought the designers might want to pass them along to paul.batchelder@unt.edu.

i have been told that coach mac wants nike uniforms, and that the southlake carroll look is out. i have seen some great looking helment and uniform designs posted on this board, and am suggesting that those be forwarded to paul batchelder at the athletic department. he should have input as we go forward.

since my freshman year in 61',i've lost track of how many eagles, logos, and shades of green we have gone thru. just think: what a collection of mini helments you could have. while i don't like our u.s. postal eagle, and prefer hayden fry green, i'm glad that we are trying to standardize.
-
its my understanding that coach mac wants nike uniforms. also, the southlake carroll look is out.

they have a great chilie cookoff every year.

Mwc: What Would North Texas Bring To The Table?
wardly replied to PlummMeanGreen's topic in Mean Green Football
-
brousing the mcw fan forums, the presidents seem to have a difference of opinion. wyoming,afa,colorado st., and new mexico appear to want to expand in existing footprint, which does not include dfw or houston. they meet again in january to discuss.

back out texas tech and we are back to our 3,000 average attendance, which is poor considering our record. if fact, its not very good even when you include the tech game. what does it take for a university of 38,000 to support a winning program? if only 1% of students attended we would have a base to build on. i just don't get it. if i'm j.j., i'm out of here 1st chance i get.

Mwc: What Would North Texas Bring To The Table?
wardly replied to PlummMeanGreen's topic in Mean Green Football
i doubt if the following qualifies as a "tripple dog dare," but the mwc presidents are scheduled to meet again in january to revisit expansion as well as other issues.f.y.i. -
the last time i made a simular comment,[little d---s], harry put me on "warn status", where i still languish.

i am just asking a question, not making a statement. why would we want to be in mwc, wac, or big west? albuquerque is 700+ miles from denton, and would be our cloest rival. when we do play a team at home like baylor or k.state, what increases attendance is that those schools bring fans. nt does not travel well, and i don't see a lot of mcw fans making the trip to denton. i appears from the outside looking in that our travel expenses go thru the roof. we might get some tv exposure, but mwc network is not available to everyone, and we don't have a tv following. just asking.
-
put this under "for what its worth". the wac fan board states from a "wyoming insider" that neither utep nor houston have any interest in leaving cusa for mwc. based upon smu's experience with the wac, i doubt if they have any interest as well. the mwc presidents meet again in january to discuss future expansion. as of now, it looks like usu and a player to be named later should they go to 12 , which is not a given.f.y.i.

It's Official - Hawaii To Mountain West
wardly replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
after hawaii anouncement yesterday, sdsu president, when asked about futher expansion, said utah was " too small to worry about". from brousing mwc fan boards, it appears mew mexico,afa,co.st., and wyoming want to add schools in their time zone, such as utep and utah st., while other schools are interested in dfw and houston markets. with loss of tcu,utah, and byu, there does not appear to be a dominate voice in mwc. [like texas in big 12]. i think presidents are scheduled to meet again in january. -
naming rights for football stadium cost $20million, which is about 25% of stadium cost. of $78million stadium cost,i was told alumni donated about $5+million, or aproximately 6.5%. based upon this, i don't know if we have a friend with deep pockets, but we could. i also think we will get the football stadium up and running before adressing baseball, as we don't have enough staff to properly do both at same time.i do have a question;of 120 schools that play 1a football, how many also have a baseball program? for instance, smu, colorado, and iowa state do not, and they have a lot more $ than north texas. just asking.

It's Like Some Sort Of Football Dream World!
wardly replied to The Fake Lonnie Finch's topic in Mean Green Football
i know its water under the bridge, but when you compair coach mac's staff to the high school coaches dodge brought with him, it just makes me want to.........[fill in the blank]. we are finally moving up to the big time! -
why? i have found them to be very accurate over the years as regards football. just asking.

Hawaii To Mwc
wardly replied to wardly's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
it goes back to geography.both ecu and marshall complain about distance between western rivals.i believe the following; ecu is not going to get invite to big east. that will go to cfu should nova turn down its standing offer and not comitt to move up to 1a by end of school year. marshall is not going back to mac. smu will never let us in same conference as them. la tech brings about as much market to the table as la. monroe. if you believe this, then it stands to reason that cusa moves memphis west and adds 1 or 2 teams in the east, depending upon their needs.just an old man's opinion. -
jon burkett followed up with ticket office today for me who said we sold 3400 tickets in 04'. will try to find out what team allotment is.

Mwc: What Would North Texas Bring To The Table?
wardly replied to PlummMeanGreen's topic in Mean Green Football
75% of stadium is 22,500. to get to 25,000 you are looking at nearly 85%. thats in rain, sleet,and snow. i think we have 2 factors in play. !st, when will the "new" wear off our stadium. 2nd, how fast can coach mac turn program around. -
especially against colorado state and cincy.so. miss was respectable, and memphis did o.k.but you are right, we were at least twice the vistots side, if not more.i must admit i don't know those numbers. i read this on a post from a journalist who was bashing belt and new orleans bowl.i read so many boards and posts that sometimes i loose track of who and where they are. i probably should have factchecked with our ticket department before posting, but gabe is gone and i don't know anyone in that department who was there 2000 thru 2004 . my bad. i will try to get specifics from athletic department if you want.

Hawaii To Mwc
wardly replied to wardly's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
that was with tcu,byu,and utah in mwc. i am sure there soon will be a large downward adjustment based upon loss of dfw and state of utah markets. thats a big piece of mwc pie gone.
