Anyone see tonights channel 8 HS extra? Showed the Highland Park swim team during their meet this weekend and low and behold their swim caps have the Texas flag in their school colors just like the NT battle flag? This makes two HS teams that I have seen do this, Plano being the other, and the Dallas Stars as well. Of course, NT was the first, dating back to 1982. I couldn't help but mention this and giggle about it after all I have been through over the past several years with a certain individual(who will remain anonymous) on campus who has done his best over the years to threaten and scare school officials into thinking that displaying a similar State of Texas flag in anything other than red, white and blue was somehow illegal, and force illimination of it's use? We finally got it cleared up after taking the matter to the legal office last year and the crying has seem to have stopped, for now? <_<

Just another example of the still remaining existance of those on campus who will stoop to any level to squelch school spirit. Hopefully those folks will continue to move on and get out of the way of the growing spirit of the Mean Green.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      Again, we have an athletic budget $10 to $16 million more than those other schools we've mentioned. Why can they afford baseball but we can't? Do we offer sports they don't? Something isn't adding up. For what it's worth regarding revenue vs non-revenue sport, ECU's stadium seats 6,000 and it's highest reported capacity was just over that against NC State this year. The stadium reportedly cost $11 million in 2005 so probably would be double today. I know ECU gets great support but that just shows the opportunity is there. Would a baseball stadium that seats 4k not yield a higher return on investment than say a new $50+ million basketball arena when we average around 4k in our current basketball arena?

      Honest tactical question here…

      We hired a coach that runs the Mike Leach run and gun offense.The concept is score fast which puts the defense on the field for a lot of the game. We knew this when we hired him so why are we surprised that this is what he is doing? The problem is that we have a shit defense to begin with, and when we go 3 and out they don't have time have a brief rest between possessions . If he can fix the defense net season we should be okay. If not make a another coaching change that based upon our history will change nothing.

      I ABSOLUTELY agree! We had 77 new players, but most were freshmen. You can’t win with freshmen. They leaned too much on this IMO. It’ll take a good 2.5-3 years for them to hit their stride. By that time…hello portal.

      Flyover?

      They saw the stadium and thought the game was cancelled coz of all the empty seats.

      On the other side there is no reason to think we can compete in baseball. Its a financial drain that starts with the construction of a venue ,which I will ballpark [pun intended] the cost at at about $15 million which we don't have. Then the cost of staffing, scholarships ,travel ,Title 9 additions, etc. , all for adding an expensive non revenue generating sport seems irresponsible.
