Harry you have to give yourself a huge pat on the back as well. Building community at North Texas was something virtually nonexistent back during the Matt Simon years and your willingness to put in the hard work and I'm sure countless dollars into this website have been another key contributor to this. No question in my mind that this board has been one of the big reasons we see 15K minimum average attendance even in 2-8 football seasons. Kudos to you and all of the staff (is it "staff"?) of GMG.com

Went way back in the archives to find this one.. Since 1,2 and 3 all happened. LIFE IS GOOD BABY!!!

Pinch me. wow.

Crap! I knew it was too good to be true.

Honors College and College of Engineering along with the Research campus have been big additions as well.

Announcements, announcements, announcements! What a terrible way to die, A terrible way to die, A terrible way to be talked to death. A terrible way to die. Announcements, announcements, announcements! Announcements, announcements, announcements! The man stood up to talk. He talked real long and hard. He talked so long I wrote this song, On the lid of a can of lard! He's got something to say. I'm sure it must be good. But if he talks too long today, we'll leave its understood. Announcements, announcements, announcements! (What Do You Do With A Drunken Athletic Director?) What do you do with a loud Athletic Director?? What do you do with a loud Athletic Director?? What do you do with a loud Athletic Director?, Early in the evening? Hit him in the face with a chocolate cream pie! Hit him in the face with a chocolate cream pie! Hit him in the face with a chocolate cream pie, Early in the evening! Announcements, announcements, announcements! Words of wisdom, Words of wisdom. Here they come, Here they come. Boring words of wisdom, Boring words of wisdom. Dum, dum, dum, Dum, dum, dum.

I gave GrayEagle a +1 because I agree with the sentiment but I don't completely agree with the opinion. I guess I look at this in a more positive light because I feel that CUSA has appeared through the years to really do its homework on researching institutions. There are two reasons I believe that this will work out better for the CUSA FCS teams than it did for our rise up to the Sun Belt back when we were first admitted: 1.) These institutions have already shown (speaking to UTSA and ODU) the ability to show large fan participation in football in FCS leagues. Moving up to a much better FBS league is like in my opinion throwing lighter fluid on an already raging fire. It will only solidify these fanbases. 2.) Money, money money. Follow the money. With UTSA's 30K students and reportedly ODU's fat wallets, this to me more than anything else will ensure these teams being locks in this division. I would not be surprised if ODU and UTSA had to provide assurances that big time dollars would be spent on marketing and facilities. This will be helped along by the fact that the administration will be able to sell it right out of the gate due to quality opponents coming into whatever new facilities that will be built/upgraded. did I mention money is an important factor here?

Hilarious. I don't know if I'm allowed to get in on this fist bump-age too, but I did. So.. awesome bro.

I find a couple of interesting items - Is our news release (NT) on CBS the first "official" announcement with LA tech being rumored as the next one? Any others being mentioned in the national press with upcoming announcements? Ya I'm thinking of a certain school in the UT system. To our south. Hopefully not being on any announcement anytime soon relative to CUSA.

This whole situation is still surreal to me. It's like we're having some kind of a funeral and wedding on the same day!

Is it Wednesday yet?

Hmm. Based on what additional revenue exactly?

hilarious. THANK YOU SIRS MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!?

HOF 1st ballot!

I have been reading your posts for many years Plum. This is probably the best quote I've seen from you in all of those years. Pretty much sums up what may turn out to be the most important historical event in the last 30 years of North Texas athletics. I also agree that without the stadium, we would not be in this position AT ALL. Major kudos to all that made that happen!!

Almost spit out my lunch on that one.

W o w. we are truly something special in these tournaments.

Oh game must be delayed. Hah!

MT NOT OUT YET...

No reason we can't make the Houston game another home game. Plan to be there, period.

Great to hear! Thanks for the update Rick.

Bingo, you just spoke for the 15,000+ other casual fans of UNT who are not on this website.

Fantastic news.

Wait, I didn't think it was against NCAA rules to have high cholesterol. I'm confused. Did tony have a heart attack or not?
