I hope this doesn't make higher-ups at UNT decide to keep that awful Scrappy.

I couldn't agree more.  Proud of this achievement but this has to be the ugliest Scrappy we have ever had.  The previous Scrappy looked a lot better. The head is too flat our something

Only because Eppy wasn't named Scrappy.  Eppy is special to many of us, but I don't think it was for his looks.

That suit was hand made and worn by Talon Myles Alfonso, then later by yours truly.  It wasn't the most attractive suit but it was the least cumbersome, which allowed us to be extremely physical and entertaining.  

Thats extremely important considering "ENTERTAINMENT" is the main reason for having a mascot at all.

When I first transferred to NT in about 84/85 or so, my assigned dorm roommate also wore the Eppy suit.   When I first opened the closet door, this "bird" costume fell out and I remember thinking "what the hell ?".    LOL.   I knew nothing about NT sports at the time or their mascot.

I have always wondered , do people rotate being Eppy or Scrappy during the season ? Or, are you the mascot for the entire season  ?

Will @Green P1 now recognize the greatness of Eugene Levy Scrappy by displaying picture of Scrappy on his desk?  Scrappy did promise to build a wall between Denton and San Antonio and make those dirty nUTSAks pay for it.

  They're laughing at us... Not with us.

Both.  Some times it's the same person.  Other times more than one wears it due to scheduling or availability.

Back in the late 1980s, Eppy was beaten up by an irate fan and suffered a broken leg after one of Corky's teams upset K-State.  Eppy was more scrappy than Scrappy.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Yeah the classic Air Raid was about scoring more and zagging when everyone else was zigging. Now that teams are ready for spread, up-tempo, etc, there is a ton of value in controlling the clock. I don't think that necessarily means doing an Army and running it every play but I do think that keeping the defense off balance includes slowing it down and maybe doing a huddle. I don't know that THIS defense has tired legs. I think they are just small and weak compared to what they need to be. When Morris was talking about "we are not strong enough, not big enough" he was talking about the defense (and a little bit of the offensive line). It is absolutely imperative that we get three or four very good defensive lineman for next year or it will be more of the same.

      That is a fantastic question. ————- Morris will earn a base salary of $900,000 per year, plus guaranteed incentives, including a $300,000 annual radio/television stipend.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Defense used to be our calling card and our offense was compared to a Buick. Now, we got the offense most want, Leach-like and high powered, but our defense is terrible. I would love to have our vaunted defense back and sacrifice a little offense. It is demoralizing to watch our defense play out of position, miss tackles, take bad angles, etc. week after week. This all falls on coaching. We recruit better now than we did then yet we do nothing with these young men. Example, Eod Brown was a handful for Army to handle when moved off the nose and into a four man front. What do we do? Go right back to the 3-3-5 failure because that is the defense that gave Morris the most fits. Don’t tell me we aren’t capable of recruiting on the same level as Tulane, Memphis, etc. We have everything they have to offer and more. Time to get away from the no defense/air raid offense.

      What media appearances? A Coach’s Show and the conference media days? Maybe post game and mid week press conferences which are little more than him having a conversation from Vito and a student reporter from The Daily. That is a waste of money.
