3XNTGRAD

I'm another of the "claw impaired" who cannot do it the way Rick does. However, I learned the version he mentions here back in 1983 and it works well for me.

I agree that things will look up in the future. Despite the score, it never appeared to me that anyone on the North Texas sideline has given up. Even with the game out of hand, they continued to strive to make positive plays. Like everyone else, I was hoping for a much better outcome in Dodge's debut. However, I see hope for the future and will show up proudly in my Mean Green wear at SMU's Ford Stadium next weekend.

I used to have DirectTV (just switched recently to FIOS). I believe FSNSW was a pretty high number, like 650 or something in that vicinity.

In F (which is the mirror image of D) where I sit now, Row 20 is the last row in the lower section, so 21 would be the first row in the upper section. Don't know the number of seats in a row, but that arrow would be on a high 20's number, most likely (I used to sit one row below that, and I think there were about 24-25 seats total in that row).

Received mine as well. Sec. 125 Row 20 Seats 16-19

1984 NT vs. SMU at Texas Stadium

Section F, Row 20, seats 7-10, and Row 19 seat 10.

Man - this is sooooo true! Even my 2002 New Orleans Bowl winning season Mean Green hat was unable to save the 2-9 season of 2005!

Politically, no. As much as I would love to have the Law School on the main campus, the main selling point to the legislature has and will be that it would serve working professionals, so it has to be located in a more central location than Denton. On the plus side, whereever it is located, having a law school raises the status of the university in the perception of the public.

Ditto what everyone else has said. My two boys have greatly enjoyed the activities. They really love meeting the Mean Green Buddies and watching them in action on the field. I think my youngest was about 3 when he first joined.

The Mighty Johnny Quinn, hands down. One of the most exciting, consistent players on the field, as well as an absolutely fantastic ambassador off the field.

My best guestimate would be about 125 (beginning in 1983).

July 20th is not next Tuesday.

I've never heard the Texas State name mentioned other than a brief consideration of that alternative prior to the 1988 UNT change. The information I have always heard is that NTSU was a compromise name in the 1960's when we went from "college" to "university". The original name proposal was for the University of North Texas name (which is the one UT shot down), so the compromise was North Texas State University. Despite the "regionality" of the name, I was one in the 1980's who felt we should keep "North Texas" in the name, rather than attempt the "Texas State" name option. Except for our founding name of "Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute", every one of our other names has had the "North Texas" in it. That is a tie among all our alumni that was and should be kept. I don't know enough about MTSU history to know if that sort of connection exists in your name history or not, but it was there for us. Also, on the ETSU, WTSU etc. issue, it was important to note that we were an institution of over 25,000 students in 1988 (already 4th largest in the state having passed Texas Tech), while the ETSU's of the world were much smaller, less comprehensive institutions. We really did need to distinguish ourselves from them, and the name change was one way of doing that.

No, the field runs north south with the Athletic Complex in the south endzone area. I assume the press box is on the west side stand like Fouts (which doesn't really have east and west stands even though we always say that. Fouts really has SW stands and NE stands since it sits on an angle).

The downside of such a change would be the loss of attendance by families since the games would end too late on school nights.

He was speaking on behalf of the North Texas Exes. He wasn't the keynote speaker. I assume there was a different main speaker at each of the different sessions.

I believe that is the package that includes basketball floor seats. That is why there is a limited number that can be sold.

That doesn't look like a German guy in that picture?

Priority renewals were due last month. The packages were sent out back in January. If you haven't renewed, contact the Ticket Office right away.

Wow - what a horrid group! I especially love the post from one that complains about "only" expecting $250,000 donations from a $75,000 dollar investment in outreach. Dang - invest $1 dollar and make over $3. What a stupid investment!?!@?!

Naming is also considered a primary fundraising opportunity. If you donate 1/2 the original cost of the building, you can have it named. I think it is already great the way most of the buildings are named (mostly after former presidents or regents), but would love to see names like GAB etc. "personalized" as well. And, don't forget, the Athletic Center can be named as well. The Athletics Website says the price is "Negotiable". Should we start taking up collections?

Enrolled here in Spring '07.

The North Texas crowd was on its feet the whole game. You didn't hear much from the Memphis crowd early in the game when we had the lead, but they definitely helped to charge up their team when they were on a roll. On the whole, I thought North Texas was well represent today both on the court and in the stands.
