Didn't you know that all OU players are on the payroll?? How can Benson be overrated after that first almost humorous if not just plain sad run 2 years ago where he shreaded NT tackles like water off a duck's back. If he is overrated what does that say about our defense??

BEWARE----PHIL BENNETT IS DD'S OLD KSU BUD AND THIS IS ANOTHER OOC GAME WHERE DD & STAFF SELDOM SHOW UP---MEANS MUCH MORE TO FANS THAN COACHES, PLAYERS, OR STUDENTS---ALL ARE CONTENT TO HAVE NOSES RUBBED IN IT BY 'STANGS ONE MORE TIME. ONLY FANS CAN DEMAND A WIN OVER SOUTHERN MISERABLE UNIVERSITY HORSES' REARS!!!!!

The new President EXPECTS to BEAT SMU!!!!

COACHES INTO IT AS MUCH AS FANS????? What a laugh---this is an OOC game as are SMU & Tulsa which translates to DD & staff fail to show. As I've said before if we beat UT I will be in the market for ice skates because HELL will have frozen over and it will be mighty cold up her. I'll be there for FRI. party and Sat. tailgate--- bring plenty of booze --UT 72- UNT 3

HOW ABOUT 0-92 UNDER DD IN TWO GAMES?????

As I've said before this isn't about profit, it's about getting the word out that Sept. 9th is a BIG game. I see where DD's long time buddy from KSU days, SMU coach Phil Bennett, says his " much easier" Sept. schedule should propel SMU into its first post death penalty bowl game. I wonder how TT feels about that since horses' rears kick off the season in Lubbock. With DD being buds with PB, this smacks of DD treating it as just another ho-hum OOC game much as he did KSU last year when the visit to Manhattan, KS was just a good ole homecoming with little emphasis on the game. My message is go to Austin, party down, hope our kicking game can limit the carnage, but put on your game face for 9/9 as it will take enthusiastic students and fans to motivate the dept., coaches, and players that North Texas people EXPECT to beat SMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sizes are M,L,XL, & XXL. XXL is $8. rest are $7. add $1. pershirt for mail orders--cash or check only--no credit card or pay pal

Great idea!! Since they have to pay to park, they must have game tickets--make them use them. Also never again have a student vote on an athyletic fee-- same policy pay it or leave. Only when we take these stands will we be viewed as a true D-1 university. Let the sponges be on their way!!!

I could not agree more. The ONLY time that this should not be a lead topic is after September 10th. We need this drilled into the thoughts of coaches, athletic administrators, students, faculty, and fans. The message is simple --LOSING TO S.M.U. IS NOT AN OPTION!! See thread pinned above and get your t shirt now that sends this message-- for a mere $7 you can show the world that UNT intends to KICK these HORSES' AS_ES!!!!

VY's jumping to the NFL after saying he would stay cost UT several more mature QB's than the two they'll field. I'm just glad we have a decent punter and apparently a great kicker as that's all that's between us and the 0-92 we've posted in two DD trips to Austin. Many will be glad to know that this will be the last in the UT series for many years as when DeLoss Dodds asked for a three year deal with NT, RV said two for one, with the one being at Fouts!! Since UT will never again play U of H for getting shafted on seats at Robason a few years ago, I'm sure playing at Fouts got a really BIG LAUGH out of the UT A.D. If we continue to refuse to play BIG games at Texas Stadium, we can forget about EVER getting any. If you were defending National Champs or even any top 50 team would you come to FOUTS??

Baylor?? After being out of business for half of last season, and all the killing controversy and we can't even get a look out of a big man we so desperately need????

They will be available @ Cookout and pregame UT & SMU

That is one of the venues listed in the above thread. They will also be avaiable in Grand Prairie tonight at The Grand Green Event and Fri. night @ Dr. Pepper Ball Park in Frisco for North Texas EXES-Dallas Chapter night @ Frisco RoughRiders @ 7.

You are very welcome. Thanks for the support. I hope all will get behind the effort to push for this to be the BIG game that it is. Shirts are going quickly (30% sold in just over one week). Refer to posts above for venues where available as well as mail or drop by purchases. GMG--KICK THE HORSES' BUTTS!!!!

Note the $200-$400K guarantee for 1AA to play 1A. Considering our UT guarantee is 285K, we are being paid as if we are in fact 1AA.

19,000 for SMU 14,500 season aveage Unless we get SMU ticket counters then increase each of the above by 25%

Either way I stand by my statement!!

DISCLAIMER: Above insert about 1998 TT game is insert by me and NOT part of Harry's original post

As I've said before ANYONE who uses NTSU instead of the correct name in place for nearing two decades, THE University of North Texas, is either: 1) VERY OLD or 2) EXTREMELY STUPID

Yeah you are missing something--A REALITY CHECK. The first think I would do after an improbable win over UT is BUY SOME ICE SKATES FOR HELL WILL HAVE FROZEN OVER AND IT'S BOUND TO DO THE SAME UP HERE.

Thanks Baby Arm-- facts hurt those who are defending the undefendable. Your posts just proved the whole point of this thread and in their own words. To ALL the horse huggers on this board, I would say if you can't show up with a little NT Pride for this one you might have your pulse checked!! Some Miserable University vs. the grunts from UNT-- It's NOT just a football game it's ALL OUT WARFARE!!! By the way I do regret using the term "blue collar" at the beginning of this thread, I meant no disrespect to our students or successful alumni ( of which there are many--all self made individuals), and I feel the term was taken out of context by many. I was more referring to the great number of our students who are the first in their family to go to college, and their hard working parents who help them along the way to have that education and a better life. It is no secret that in excess of 70% of our students accept financial aid, just walk accross our campus and then take a trip to " Biff & Buffy's Home down on Mockingbird Lane" and tell me there is no difference. You and I chose UNT because the majority are real world people not the pompus, arrogant bunch that aren't even representative of their own City of Dallas, but they will always look down on others whom they feel are inferior to them ( by the way Quoner, I don't feel inferior no matter what your shrink has told you). There is one way to strike a blow for all those dissed by these "competitors" for SOOOO many years. KICK THE HORSES' AS_ES ON SEPTEMBER 9TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

September 9th is more than an important FB game on the UNT OOC schedule!! It is a chance for the underprivileged to make their mark against the pampered, pompous, impowered few who thrive on the Hilltop in the HP/UP gold corridor. UNT is a diverse, blue collar, first generation university training students for careers. SMU is for the lavish society offspring of Dallasites to further their line by making the "contacts" that will usher them to the top of Dallas society. "Contacts" in the nature of former Governor Bill Clements, who once begged the NCAA to let the 'stangs continue payments to some players that had "contracted" with the athletic dept. by means of private annuities to play for SMU. The good governor did not do this as an aide to the likes of the infamous Pony Express ( probably the highest paid duo in NCAA history), he feared that those players would sue those who originated the annuities for ---breach of contract. "Contacts" like Sherwood Blount who would implement a system of pay for play so Ron Mier could give cash $$$ awards for such on the field accomplishments as most tackles, yards gained, highlight reel plays, etc. for each and every game. As D Magazine once proclaimed in this era "IF YOU WANT TO BE RICH AND POWERFUL IN DALLAS____YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO S. M. U." Is it any wonder that the "Death Penalty" was imposed when in the midst of an NCAA investigation a recruit from PA comes into the athletic dept. and inquires what they are going to do since he had just wrecked the brand new car that every boy needed to get around campus? Come on Folks these people desrved no mercy-- they flaunted their money and power and they got EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESERVED!!! The cheating may now be better hidden or even severly limited, but the attitude of arrogance is alive and well. Make no doubt about it. In the immortal words of the legendary Lawrence Perkins as quoted in the 1990 NT Daily " At SMU we love North Texas Grads, as we feel they make some of the best domestic help in all of Highland Park" At NT on the other hand we fight for ever once of recognition in The Belo owned press, dominated by SMU ownership, which has now even acquired the hometown DRC. More than 70% of our students are on some type of financial aid, and it's certainly not from some affluent promoters or prominent family legacy. As a student, I would ask you wouldn't it be nice to take a swat at those who so look down on you and your university? As a player, I would ask isn't it a privilege for you to defend the honor of the working class families that send their kids to UNT to pursue careers after graduation not just for the "contacts" that will help them buy their way up the corporate ladder? As coaches, I would ask don't you think that it is worth a supremely prepared game plan and use of the most talented personnel to give these players the opportunity to win against a greater funded, elitist institution? Finally as athletic administrators, I would ask isn't it worth an overtime effort to promote this game for what it is --A Battle of Class Warfare? UNT vs. SMU is more than a FB game-- when Sept. 9th comes-- It should be all out warfare, not just another ho-hum OOC game. DEMAND THIS ATTITUDE FROM YOUR ATHLETIC DEPT. AND STUDENTS__OUR PLAYERS WILL GET THE MESSAGE AND MAYBE EVEN OUR COACHES TOO!!! KICK THE HORSES' REARS!!!

And remember our gaurantee for this game is $285K so UT gets $3.7 million clear profit. Thanks again Craig Helwig!!!

I know, but I'm just trying to get them to people ASAP so the message gets out. You just don't realize what it's worth to me personally to beat those arrogant Horse's As_es, but thanks for the info.
