NT official website now lists Expected completion date for the new football stadium as fall 2009. It also lists Expected completion date for the Baseball stadium as Summer 2006... At least they are putting a stake in the ground to shoot for. Then if they miss that date well... ph34r.gif

AND......................... I'M BAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK! blink.gif (But obviously a much smaller announcement with that). rolleyes.gif

ps: am just now getting over the flu (sorta') which started mid Game Day afternoon. Still wanted to come up until the puking part began. Don't think any of you OR any NT assistant coaches would have walked anywhere near Section D or E if I had come up and started doing that in the stands. huh.gif Yet I took the "bad feeling" time to give myself a vacation from GMG.com and for yall--A VACATION FROM ME! ohmy.gif

psII: thanks for the emails from a few of you fellow alums and MG fans. Now, with yalls permission and using this thread as a subtle hint I am coming up with some new thoughts on:

The New Stadium Located on Prime Interstate Real Estate Between Those 2 Gol Darned Texas Interstates! blink.gif

psiii: Some very interesting "catch up" reading this afternoon on threads post ULL game! Very interesting.....Jeez! Bill "Silver Eagle" you're a freakin' media star! laugh.gif

I hope "EVERYONE" has cooled their jets a bit. We must move forward with ALL OUR OUR FANS no matter how good or bad they feel post ULL loss AND..............and because we are going thru the (many times) frustrations of a rebuidling football season.

GMG! LOVE YA' ALL LIKE BROS. AND SISTERS! NOW GO GET YOUR DARN FLU SHOTS, RIGHT? blink.gif

Name a 60's pop song that Eagle-96's graphics might remind some of you and who was the musical artist who made that song title famous? cool.gif

How about the donation of a whole lot of land? ph34r.gif

Ohh come on Moot, give us a little more than that. Such as what department this helps and when this will be public/official.

It won't take 3 yrs to build the stadium. The question as you said euless is when will the construction start. Are we waiting to get a certain % of money, what is the point we need to reach before we break ground.

FATHER: Stop that, stop that! You're not going to do a song while I'm here. Now listen lad, in twenty minutes you're getting married to a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain.

HERBERT: But I don't want land.

FATHER: Listen, Alice...

HERBERT: Herbert.

FATHER: Herbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.

HERBERT: But I don't like her.

FATHER: Don't like her?! What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land.

That is all great news to hear. I say GMG needs to hop on board and raise enough money to purchase something for the new athletic center.

I would suggest what I saw at a A$M football game on TV...an air conditioning machine that FB players plugged a tube from this machine into their shoulder pads.on the sidelines and their shoulder pads absorbed the cold air keeping them fresh in the heat of the game....big advantage over those those teams not having their equipment.

Didn't seem to help them much vs. Iowa State.

So Moot, when is this announcement going to happen? Will it benefit Athletics?

Hunter, I would have preferred that song. But I believe that Plumm is referring to the (1965) Leslie Gore single "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows".

I think that the record company (Mercury, by the way) might have warned people who are diabetic, that if they listen to the song, it would be at their own peril. blink.gif

Ok, I had an epiphany on the way home. I think I know the answer to Moot's riddle. Here are the details:

UNT owns some land somewhere in South Denton or North Tarrant county

There are some significant mineral rights attached

It is under a portion of the Barnett Shale

Troy had those, and used them. And I think it was like 65 degrees at kickoff. Now I know playing football at any temperature can make you pretty hot in those pads, but sweat is good for you!

I think that I've already read something about gas well drilling being planned on University land. The question is how much land does the University own?

Because if the University owns enough land, there could possibly be multiple wells being drilled on them.

Also, in order for the University to benefit from the drilling, the person (or persons) that donated the land must also sign over to the University, the mineral rights to the land.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
