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.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
