Are the inmates running the asylum with all this branding business? Funny how they are all gone in 10 years and we get stuck with all this blankety blank branding legacy. Screw it!

Of course, we'll also be stuck with the Mean Green Athletic Village, too. Unscrew it! rolleyes.gif

Now I know it's not the 'NT' and that's what many, including myself, wanted, but it could be worse. I thought they were going to put 'UNT' on everything.

"They" aint running the show!

By the way, if you go by and see the new turf, let the guys out there know you appreciate their work. It's truly a tedious job at hand now and the new black and white letters in the endzones look damn nice. I didn't realize it but the field starts out as a solid green field(after they connect all the sections together). Then for every white spot you will see a section of green must be cut out and replaced with the white or black mark to be glued in. This is true for EVERYTHING including each hash mark. There's hundreds of hashmarks let alone all the lines and sidelines and all. I now understand why it takes so long to install. I spoke to one of the workers and he was dripping wet with sweat. He said they were not used to this type of weather because they are from Denver. I placed my hand down into the blades of fake grass and I bet it was 140 degrees at 12:30 today. The workers are using pheumatic shears to cut out the sections of green and then replace it with the appropriate color. I believe they are also working at night under the lights. If the rain lays off they will be done pretty soon.

They definately lowered the crown a bit out of the playing surface, but that's not going to help the sightlines much.

Also, out of curiosity I measured the exact distance from the front row 50 yard line bench to sideline. Comes out to be 94 1/2 feet. Nearly 1/3 the length of a football field. Add that plus the 165 feet for the width of the field and you have 354 feet between the two front row seats. Just 3 feet on each side from being able to fit a full Football field in between.

In other words, a 50yd line seat at Fouts is equal to an end zone seat anywhere else blink.gif

Was there not an afternoon practice on Wednesday?  THE MGR has morning notes for Wednesday and notes from the barber shop but no afternoon practice notes.  Was it a rain out?  Sorry don't live in Denton so I don't know how the weather is up there.

Not every practice will have a MGR posting.

Harry,

When do you think we will know if the 3 players on the bubble have qualified or not. Is this along the lines of the next couple of days.

BTW: Is it possible that DD & Co already know and just haven't said anything yet.

I've got it bad Harry. I need a fix.

For those of you who don't subscribe you need to. this is my first season to have a subscription and it has far exceeded my expectations. (If i were willing to pay a little more could you give me some encouraging news at QB? :-))

I'm anxious to see how the reports play out relative to the season, meaning if some of the editorials prove true or false?

Harry, have you considered a secure area of the board where only MGR subscribers could discuss items in the MGR?

One question regarding the RB from Pflugerville: Does he look like he could add 20-25lbs to his frame by the time he is a junior?

Thanks for the good work. Keep it coming. I'm loving it.

Patience. Also remember that sometimes there is no news to report.

      No one watches the Bowl game either....yet there they are. Given the numbers in the G5s and the markets we're in, I would think more eyeballs would be available for a G5 playoff vs FCS.

      Pretty sure the auto bid is going to go away after 2026 anyway.

      Impressive ECU win

      I don’t think they were ever that valid except for top 15 teams. The New Years 6 Bowls were the only bowls that had history you average player at that time relished playing in. The bowl tie-ins are convoluted now. It used to be that if you won your conference or got second place you knew what bowl that level of accomplishment would send you. Now you don’t have a clue. Look at Army and Navy from our conference. Army should have gotten a more prestigious bowl and opponent than Navy. (Remember Bowls were assigned before the Army vs Navy game and Army is our conference champion).

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      Definitely a HUGE part of it but lots of other programs that don’t win consistently have better game day participation by their students for on campus football games. It just a lack of vision by our university when it comes to athletics in general. The new stadium should have been more centrally located than Fouts or just built on top of it. I pushed back and others calling our students “weirdos in another thread. General it seems like the Adminstration doesn’t understand the harder you make it to get to games that we don’t win the fewer the amount of people/students will show up. If DATCU was across the street from the SuperPit or in the footprint of the old Fry Street area, I think you would see an average of 10% more students actually inside the stadiums. The Fry Street area would have been harder to acquire and building within the Fouts (and adjacent parking lot) footprint may have required borrowing another stadium for a year or two. But it would have been worth it in the long term and significant because it would be a symbol that athletics are an essential part of the experience they want to provide traditional on campus students. Winning helps but fixing the culture takes more than just that. And fixing the culture is the only way you can have a down season or two that doesn’t turn into 5 or 10 bad season.
