I...I don't see a problem with his performance. If he's not shooting, he's part of positioning the ball for the best shot. I think this thread is kind of wasted.

Hey Bob, did it ever occur to you to just edit your first post instead of making 556 replies to yourself? There's a button for that.

You should've seen the Hawaii Bowl if you haven't. To put it nicely, Tulsa's defense ate Hawaii alive. 6 turnovers in just the first half and the offense created a very nice 20-ish point difference in scores in a game that Hawaii was expected to win big but in the end, lost. Don't get me wrong, I wanted Tulsa to win but I didn't think it'd destroy Hawaii like it did.

No. Would never be approved. Ever.

The SOW is great on helmets, probably needs to get on there since it's intended to be in common usage soon.

This is fine if: 1. The stickers are a slightly darker or lighter shade of green so that they're visible but don't make the helmet look gross like the bulletholes on the Ohio State helmets. 2. If they're mini SOWs or stylized wings.

Good point, great point, actually. Take the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. If it was the "R&L Carriers Bowl", I'd not recognize it, but with "New Orleans Bowl" as the name, I clearly know what's going on here.

Shows the power of a bowl game, and really highlights the phrase about athletics being the window to a university. Too bad TCU won't accept most of those kids for any number of reasons.

Pretty much. The Tavern isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Thankfully, more than enough new places have opened to make up for it.

Am I the only one who wishes these sponsor companies would give their bowl games an actual name instead pulling a Chick-fil-A and removing the "Peach" from the bowl game title? It sounds silly - GoDaddy.com Bowl, Meineke Car Care Bowl...silly and almost inappropriate, too.

You know, you could just call in to the DRC and ask how much it costs to run an ad of that size with that many appearances in a week. Also, LOUD NOISES. ALL CAPS. HULK SMASH!

I started at UNT in 2000 and I've been in Denton ever since. All I can say is that it's a big difference between 2000 and this last season. In 2003, when our Dickey-era team was at it's best, you could barely get 15-16k in the stands. This past fall, you'd see an amount around that for a losing team. The basketball attendance is higher, as well. I think that with the new stadium and new coaching staff, we'll see bigger swings upwards. You should also tour the campus as a whole. Lots of things are changing around here. The library mall looks fantastic in comparison to how it did in 2000. The fountain is now part of a library mall-length fountain system that starts at the giant Son-of-Worm near the admin building and ends with a waterfall near the street. The new business building is pretty close to finished, there's a new parking garage being built, there's the Gateway Center, new dorms, athletics center, the new Life Sciences complex at the center of campus, and of course, the stadium.

There is that one guy with the billboards on Carroll/Ft. Worth drive with things ranging from obnoxious but correct, to stuff that's outright wrong like the death panels. But that dude is probably the sort no one wants to be around anyways.

I'd like to see a dual threat QB. I think the days of the pocket-passing QB are more or less over and have been for a few years. Not many programs get by on just a pocket-passer and as the game gets faster, the mobile QB is the best bet. In war, the winner is the one who can best shoot, move, and communicate. Football is not that different.

Our depth chart should be like this: JUCO Baine Thompson Teegarden Dodson Wish Dodge had given QB another go since Tune may not get a medical redshirt, and even so, Dodge would still get it if he tried out nicely for the position. I'm assuming the JUCO QB is our best shot for the starting QB, but I would say that Baine and Thompson get the majority of reps during training to be safe.

Already done, in Pasadena.

Rudy's stance is hilarious. If you're a UNT grad you must be for UNT all the time, no matter who you work for. But I bet he'd drop a brick if an alum from another university who worked for UNT rooted for their alma mater, right? I'd hate to have this guy as an employee if was his supervisor at another university because who knows if he'd ever get his work done.

Might wanna stop there. Your hole is deep enough that you can barely see out of it as it is.

No. Besides, SMU's running some been-there-done-that, plain jane uniforms. If the whole idea of UNT is to not be like everyone else but better, why be the same as everyone else with uniforms?

31-32 Toledo, with 1min left...yeah, too soon. I still don't know what the hell that picture poster thing is about, though. I assume it's some sort of playcall but that's it.

Watch out for Tulsa. Just watched the DVR record of the Hawaii Bowl. Hawaii came in ranked #24 in the nation with Tulsa as serious underdogs. Tulsa racked up 6 interceptions in the first half and put a total of 62 points on a normally stingy Hawaii defense. They've also got the best kick returner in the NCAA who is also the record holder for all-purpose yards. I hope McCarney and crew have a great plan for Tulsa.

Ohio's guys just couldn't keep up. They weren't fast enough in the game and they weren't conditioned nearly as well. When your team is pretty much out of steam in the 2nd quarter, you're in trouble.

All I know is that our guys could be there now and that next year, I'm almost certain they will be in a bowl. Our guys fell just short of Troy and same thing with Ohio. With a strong D that holds other schools down by 3 TDs a game and our high scoring offense, our team can dominate.

In 2003, UNT's brass decided that we needed a new athletic identity system. Eric Ligon and one or two other instructors from our Communication Design program were given the task of finding the right way to represent UNT's athletics and the current athletic branding set is the result. They started their design process that resulted in a lot of controversy since not all of the results were that great. However, the UNT athletic font and Son of Worm were the big hitters from that design process. The Son of Worm and the rest started to really get seen in about 2004-2005 and the script font logo and the other items were phased out. TLDR - if someone said Prosper had it first, they're wrong. Many high schools can't come up with their own, and I would bet that lots of people that work in UNT would have long words with them.

Don't count on new logos. UNT went through 2 of them in the 3 years I was here as a student before the Son of Worm was designed. No interlocks, no overlapping nonsense as that's the sort of "me-too" thinking the Son of Worm generation was designed specifically not to be. Also, the current unis are fine, they just need the green helmet, Son of Worm on the side, "UNT" on the little white parts at the base of the helmet" and that's it. And all black? Maybe, but they'll have to be done just right.
