I hate the argument that poor performance is justified by saying, "they're volunteers." Well of course they're volunteers. But what did they "volunteer" to do ?

I just got my NICHOLS STATE tickets. It is 1:30pm on Wednesday dec. 14. postmark dec. 5.

They've got my address right when I owe the Athletic Dept. money. But now that I'm looking for tickets, they don't know where to mail. I still( Monday evening) have not received my tickets for last Saturday night.

Some quick history as I remember it. Before North Texas was demoted to 1-AA, there WAS no 1-AA. At that time, football was classified just like basketball ( div. 1, div.2, etc). The NCAA set out some standards (stadium size, average attendance) that we couldn't meet. I was at the meeting, held in the then Mean Green locker room, where all this was aired. Fred Pole was the VP for external affairs at the time. He answered questions and there was no choice. North Texas did not choose to drop to 1-AA. The NCAA made that decision for us. We had some success in 1-AA and we were number 1 in the nation for several weeks back in 1988 or so. But still, we were a page 2 or 3 team. I agree with those that say a 32,000 student university should be forever a top 50 team. But the point of this post; no one at North Texas chose to become 1-AA. I've never heard the thing about Andy Everest losing paperwork. I don't think that is true. Also, 1-A and 1-AA are football only terms. There are no 1-A or 1-AA basketball teams.

Not to be pickey, but Texas State took over with 1:37 left. Lots of time and 3 timeouts. I have a classmate with a son playing his last game with the Bobcats. I haven't had the nerve to call and ask his temperture yet.

We gotta do better. How hard could this be ? There must be a list of ticket holders that should get tickets. I know I get "rules" 2 or 3 times a football season for the Budweiser deck. And pizza ? How many do we use at a regular game ? Order that many again.

I'm not sure we can have "train hors" at Fouts. But it would probably increase attendance.

They might know something, but we won.

I was worried about it after the game last week. So much so, I found RV and he said i'd get the tickets in the mail. Saturday night came with no tickets in sight. I went to the will call desk, and ther was no problem at all. However, I wonder if the small turnout was because many didn't KNOW about the game

If we (the Mean Green Nation) don't go to the basketball games, who will ?

I had understood that when the new football stadium was built that the West stands at Fouts would be removed and the East stands would be left for track events etc. Yes ?

It's Mexican fare this year. They'll be serving fajitas, but without tortillas.

I like it. We could call it the "cotton-poly blend" bowl. It would save the City of Dallas millions and be a huge boon to the Denton economy.

My son (a senior in the Corps of Cadets) was at the game. We spoke during the game. He was surprised at how NT gave A & M all they wanted. I'd have loved to beat those Aggies. It would have made for some great Christmas dinner banter.

Had it not been for the last game with Arkansas State on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, with all the students gone, we'd averaged around 20K. I think this shows that for North Texas, evening games are best for attendance. Hook 'em Horns

I thought he WAS 70 years old

Go stAte

Why are attendance figures not posted in the box score of high school games (or anywhere else for that matter) ?

Was there also a game played last night at C.C. Collins (Denton ISD0 ? If not, why was this game played at Fouts ?

If I could only watch, an O.C. win the margin could be thin, I only want a win If I could only watch, an O.C. win And Arkie State would stay at home for Christmas

NT Basketball. Next to NT Football, my favorite Mean Green thing to do.

Bobby Ray was mentioned a having a connection with SMU. I am not familiar with that connection. What is it ?

Bill Snyder coached at Austin College. See. It's all falling into place.

the Waffle House New Orleans Bowl

So the new name is the "La Quinta New Orleans Bowl ?" (La Quinta, as you know, means next to the Denny's)
