Who designed the South Alabama board? Looks like something that Mrs. Smith's fourth grade class did as a class project. What's with the North Texas State?

Whats with the NTS, drex? Well..........how about starting with total, unadulaterated, blubbering idiocy. Of course, it does give us a chance to correct such mistakes and tell them what our name is (and all the other great things about NT); and after doing such, if they make the mistake again, just maybe they are in the wrong industry or (as we say in the country) maybe they're just a bit touched?

Also wonder if they know the South lost the Civil War (or what some of that group still calls "the War Between the States" ? Sorry, I have too many relatives in Alabama from my late sainted mother's side to have said that, but I also know when a woman gets married to call her by her new last name, too.

Anyone in the media should be of such a topical and "whats going on now" nature to know that a 32,000 enrollment university in the USA's 7'th largest TV market that has hosted U of SA's conference's nationally televised bowl game 4 years in a row changed its name going on 3 decades ago. Wonder if they caught that on those national telecasts?

I sometimes wonder if our disdain for the wrong name given us at times happens because a hardy handful in the media knows it actually pisses some of us off when they screw up our alma mater's name? Of course, we'll never know which ones would be guilty of that, now do we?

U of SA folks surpised that we signed him? Those who are surprised have probably never visited the burgeoning NORTH TEXAS campus to see that almost 1/3 of our campus is full of new buildings, new dorms (for mostly athletes), state of art Student Rec Center, etc, etc, etc, I think future recruits will continue to notice this about NT and just think when we complete the new Mean Green Athletic Village at Eagle Point?!?!?

At any rate, congrats to Coach Johnny Jones on this strategic signing.
