There is an updated picture of Fouts on the meangreensports.com site.

It just shows the first layer of crushed rock that goes down. Nothing else, it just continues to say that it will be done in time for Tulsa.

I SURE AS HELL HOPE SO! biggrin.gif

Where would we play if for some reason it was not finished in time?

Can't decide which joke so....

1) How is this stadium affect those sitting in section E that can't seem to get along?

2) Atleast we'll be sitting closer to the field? blink.gif

So, taking into consideration from this photo that thousands of pounds of old, excess turf is allowed to be dumped ontop of the empty, southern half-moon open area, which is simply bare concrete I believe, then there isn't any excuse that can be thrown at us for not having our three historical spirit icons(Boomer the Cannon, Victory the NT Spirit Bell and the 1929 Model A Mean Green Machine) displayed in the OPEN there for all to see?

Two years ago New Mexico State made Sports Illustrated simply for it's tradition for having a large bell at their games. Their Bell aint $#i+ compared to our 1500lb, fully self propelled spirit bell, Victory. But who in hell even knows about it or the Model A when our own folks force them over to the sides behind the stands during the games? The reasons for this have been because they don't want them over the track due to weight and/or oil leaks but 4 sheets of plywood can take care of that.

And we wonder why people claim we have no traditions? God I'm tired of the excuses!

No, when the new stadium is made, I have heard from a "higher up", or wife of, that Fouts will reamin as a track only stadium.

The word that has been predominate from most is that Fouts will be demolished because TxDOT needs land that is very close to it that would prevent it from being able to exist as a functional stadium for any purposes. Then it has been said that NT will use all the areas where Fouts used to be and its huge parking lot space surrounding the peripheal of the Fouts complex will be used for new dorms and academic buildings.

Surely there would be an update in the campus master plan if there were any changes, right? blink.gif

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I like this perspective. I feel like losing to a SBC team might be something that could hurt though. Although, to your point, not sure anyone will ever remember. For the people we really want to come to games, I think it does though. The casual college football fan barely even knows we exist. I think this game does more for NT fans we want to come see this team, but might not feel like it is worth it because they don't trust they can win.

      Please don’t let them look anything like TCU or Iowa St. in their bowl games. Iowa St, whose colors are red and yellow, had on uniforms with neither of those colors. And TCU…just hideous from head to toe.

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I’ve watched way too many bowl games this year, so I’ll share my perspective as a football fan watching a game between two teams with whom I have no connection. 1. For the most part, I have no idea who’s skipping the game and I don’t necessarily care, though missing the starting QB carries much more weight than any other position. (I’m speaking to bowl games in general, not ours) 2. You say the games are meaningless, and I don’t disagree as it relates to each individual team, but…see #3. 3. The games are not meaningless as they relate to conference affiliation. The AAC being 6-1 makes a statement, as does the ACC being 1-9. I also think it says something that the mighty SEC is only 4-3 so far. If they are the dominant conference they are made out to be, they should be winning at least 75% of their bowl games, and they certainly shouldn’t be losing to G-5’s. 4. At the end of the day, nobody except UNT and TXSt fans are going to remember who won or by how much, or who had more players in the portal. They’ll just remember if it was a good game. I don’t think any more or less of any team I watched this bowl season, but I can tell you which games were good.

      I think this is most of the die hard's feelings. I always want us to win, but it doesn't move the needle if we do and can only hurt us if we don't. I do love just going to games, without the game itself.

      I know, I know, but do we know yet what our unis will be for the bowl? Some people just have to know.
