  1. Outstanding, thank you.
  2. You like my foot in your jaw. Seriously, I kinda dig it too. The one on the right is just in case the green for the shirts isn't light enough and it blends with the dark green on the outside.
  3. Okay kids, here they are. Some changes may happen to them, but that's going to be a result of printing, if anything. They're basically 2 colors, with the green in different color percentages. (Medpilot, let me know who to send the files to, and what format they need them in.)
  4. ARGH! I thought I read "@MTSU" for that weekend.
  5. WOO! An away game at Thanksgiving.
  6. Here's the failing in that argument: you want the student short-term fan to be the alumni, season-tickets, long-term fan. Part of that goal is treating the students like their tuition and fees are actually worth something to the university and NOT jamming them into the cheapest, worst seats in the house. That's a fast way to lose future alumni donations for an athletics program. You can't have satisfied, athletics-program supporting alumni if you don't have satisfied, athletics-program supporting students. Heck, you can't have satisfied alumni without satisfied students- ask anyone who's had to do alumni fundraising for UNT and you'll hear at least a few stories about people who've been soured at some point or another. There's no reason to sour people's taste on a school in a wholesale fashion. Many of us on GMG started out as a student just checking out the football team because they had a free Saturday, saw UNT turnaround on MTSU and win a game they were supposed to lose, then win a series of conference championships after that. Now we're alumni, having seen the possibility in the Todd Dodge system and waiting eagerly for the first big winning streak, but loving UNT no matter what really happens. We are, and the work is being done and the results are starting to show. However, UNT isn't kicking students around Fouts and giving them a wholesale bad taste in their mouth for the athletics program. Even if the same situation arose here with the future stadium, as an alumni (like I am now) I would hate to see this happen. I mean, moving the student section around like they did at the Super Pit is cool. But kicking them away like they don't pay an athletics fee and didn't pay for their tickets, and saying, "hey, we're gonna move who we want to become our hardcore fanbase around in the name of the bottom line" is NOT something to be smiled upon.
  7. Switch your AR15 to fire 6.8mm SPC. Wait, that's not "more ammo" that's "heavier ammo". Sorry, reading an article on that stuff. Anyways, CONGRATS!
  8. This is a horrible thing to have happened...my thoughts are for his family and friends.
  9. Non-school affiliated meaning the folks who are just fans of the football program and don't have any family or friends related to the school. Again, it won't really affect sales of tickets in the future simply because of the non-school related fanbase.
  10. Osborne said one reason for the change was because students have a tendency to stand on their seats throughout the game, and it wasn't fair for the season ticket holders who sat behind them. Maybe those ticket holders should stand up, then. But seriously, I think this is BS. In terms of money, I'm sure it won't matter because even if generations of students are given the shaft, there are more than enough random non-school affiliated fans who will pay for those seats anyways. Ethically, and in terms of PR, I think this is a huge mistake.
  11. He'd pass. UNT goes back like 4 generations in his family.
  12. FOX Sports Net VS Network ESPN2 (best bet, really) I also remember when the Arena league had the Outdoor Life or Sports (can't remember which) carry Arena football games.
  13. There was parking at the old location?
  14. That would be cool to get coach's updates on everything, or at least a few things. Having it webhosted would be awesome since it'd be hard to throw it on a major sports network like the BigXII showcase crap. Also, I know what the green gas in your avatar is used for. Matter of fact, I got 4 cans of it at home right now.
  15. Then go donate money so Talons can hire a director, producer, casting director, steadicam operator, lighting technicians, pay for the band to be on site, dubbing studio, editing studio (both with the appropriate staff on-hand), art staff and post-production crew, caterers to feed all the people, interns to serve food for all these folks, and of course, transportation. Or you can just shut up.
  16. That's what I'm thinking. It's not over, and these guys are good enough to rack them up in the rest of the tourney. ULL is super-hostile territory, even if their guys got lax at the last portion of the game.
  17. OH MAN. This is gonna be close!!
  18. Just takin a jab at you- UA isn't going anywhere. But really, I wouldn't wanna be associated with a 2-9 team, either. I'm sure it'll change soon, have faith.
  19. Some of the guys from my airsoft team ran in this last year, our team leader, a jarhead-to-the-core always pushes to go to this. If you saw some folks in woodland digital pants and black shirts, those were probably them. I hear it's a pile of fun, no matter how cold it is. I keep missing these because its always a weekend I'm pulled out of town by family or something like that. You should go, just be ready to be covered, in totality, from head to toe in mud, and have it in places you didn't remember you had. Expect to be passed by guys in really good shape. This last year, there were law enforcement types, active military and even PMCs there. From what I gathered, the military and PMC guys did the best by far.
  20. That Schutt helmet is very, very cool looking. I'll take that over the Gladiator as it is now. It also doesn't help that the photo for the Gladiator helmet is crap.
  21. It looks pretty silly (mainly the size and shape of the facemask section), but I'm sure the build of it is more than awesome. It needs someone to go back and work on its appearance, but judging from the composite materials and whatnot, it'll be lightweight. I'm for a re-visioned model.
  22. Yeah, it doesn't really matter one way or the other. It really doesn't.
  23. Wrong logo, wrong mascot model, wrong history... Yeah. Well, I voted on it anyways.
  24. Also, the guy in it is a lot smaller than than the guy(s) in the Scrappy.
