So, toward the end of the game our guests for the game decided to go to the stadium store to shop. I looked up and on two tv's in the store they were playing the Michigan St. game and the TCU game. I lost it and stormed out after telling them in no uncertain terms that I thought it was pitiful that they did not have the North Texas game on their tv's. Anyone else notice this? How can we be taken seriously if the damn stadium store doesn't even care to carry our game?

That's usually not the case. I'll bet they hadn't purchased the special Fox Sports package that you had to have to pick up the game. I don't know that those TVs are networked into the feed that shows up on the TVs by the concession stands (which were not working well at all tonight).

The same situation was taking place in the Club level. There were several games on the TV sets there but ours was not one of them. We repeatedly asked about getting our game on those sets. The folks that we talked to were very courteous but were unable to get it changed. That was disappointing.

There were cable problems. There were a lot of technical problems tonight at the stadium. Nothing to get worked up about, temporary things.

That's the difference between here and other places.

Other places, things like this would be unacceptable. Here, it's simply nothing to get worked up about.

That's the case with a lot of things here. Not just technical issues in a new stadium. Nothing to get worked up about.

Yep.

How you do not make sure the stadium is functioning prpperly before your biggest home game of the year is pretty amazing, if that is truly the case.

What is much more likely is that we were too cheap to pay for the Sports package to get the game.

We have a budget, don't you know.

Either way it's small time to the inth degree, but that is UNT for you.

What is the problem with showing other games? When you go to suites at other games they always have on espn or abc showing other sporting events. The store always has on other games. It's ok because your within 30 feet of seeing UNT play.

Are you just intentionally missing the point like some apologist for the athletic department? Every time I leave my seat to go buy something I expect the monitors to show me the game, so that I can buy something and not miss any of the action while I'm standing in line. That's the whole point of having the monitors in the first place.

To say "what's the problem? or "no big deal" is soooooo old NT culture. I've spent too many years going to North Texas games and hearing the same thing from casual fans after we lost a game.....especially the ones we should have won, and I'm officially sick of it.

If I was standing in line to buy something from my University and there is something wrong with the monitor feed, I would expect the monitors to be off...and a sincere apology from the staff for the inconvenience.

On the other hand, NOT showing our game on stadium televisions, it would seem, would encourage one to stay in their seat and watch OUR game. It got cold last night and many in the Club chose to stay indoors to talk and drink. While i really enjoy the Club, I wish more was done to make those "indoor' fans realize how important it is to be AT the game rather than just at the game.

The club was full of special guests who drank a lot for two quarters then left. So yay extra ticket sales I guess, but I wouldn't expect any of them to watch the game. Those who did come outside were actively engaged in climbing over rows and hugging/congratulating each other on this harumph or the other, and showing me their best "look what a better door I make than a window" routine.

On a side note, I saw the police actively checking ids looking for under age drinkers at the tailgate. Don't think I've seen that before. And they weren't just going for the easy layup at the fraternity tailgates. They were stopping random people strolling down the walkway with their families.

What I want to know is when will the stadium store get the new mini helmet!!!

It is there, $30. I checked on it and tickets for UTSA as I left last night. The helmets are interspersed amongst other similarly sized goodies under the counter.

Sounds like you peasants down in the club had it bad...

If you cannot show your own game, why would you promote TCU, Mich.St. etc. by showing them on your home stadium screens? If there were technical issues, just turn the damn things off. There still is very little pride at North Texas shown by paid employees. Just go to the stadium store during the week and you will be greeted by nice people, but they have no Mean Green in their belly.

The black mini is supposed to be there, but the manufacturer has not been able to get it right so they don't have them yet. Should be there soon.

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much

      Interesting difference between Ross and Eric Morris: Ross’ best player struggles all game, Ross designs a play for him to redeem himself at the buzzer, we win. Morris’ best player, DT Sheffield, struggles all game vs. East Carolina, Morris sits him first three plays of final drive (what?!) then puts him in on 4th down and he is no factor: we lose.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      The team is 5-1 with wins against Minnesota and Oregon State. Ross knows what he is doing. Experienced guards win college basketball games. There is no incentive to develop players at North Texas anymore. Either these young guys are good enough to crack the 8/9 man rotation or they are not. If you start playing more guys than that then your BEST players get pissed about their playing time and that can mess with their effort and winning chemistry. Christian Moore had several years to crack the regular rotation here and couldn’t do it. Ross sees Vice in practice every day. If he helped us win more than Sissoko or Newell, I guarantee he would be playing. As for Layne Taylor, if Ross offered him, he must be good. But he is putting up points on a lower level 2-4 team that lost to BYU and Utah by 40 points each. If he keeps playing well and knows how to hustle on defense, he might get promoted to the big leagues in Denton for his junior and senior seasons.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Sadly we are likely going to be headed toward another complete roster overhaul regardless of him being here or not.
