I was in Albertson's doing the grocery shopping (I can be trained laugh.gif ) and noticed that they had 15" LCD tv's for $200. So I bought one. My idea is to play PS2 and watch the day's games on Saturdays during the season. Now, here's the question. How do I manage to get reception in the Fouts parking lot? Anybody with experience in cheap and reliable antennae, just the local channels?

The 3 main DFW plus about 4 maybe 6 UHF

I am sure you can pick up some kind of anttena at radio shack. For a little extra money find a buddy with sat TV and get a tripod and put the dish out there. You would have it all. Just a thought.

I would get a powered antenna and run it off an inverter in the car. It will pick up Dallas signals very nicely.

For those that buy a small HD TV with tuner the HD signal is perfect.

Really? Did your shopping list include a "15" LCD TV? rolleyes.gif

Geezz Emmitt, most people's "impulse buys" at grocery stores include such things as the latest chip/snack food and/or flavor of ice cream. wink.gif

I bet your wife doesn't send you back to the store any time soon. rolleyes.gif

Cable is a black hole in Denton.  DirectTV or Dish is the only way to go!  biggrin.gif

This would be my suggestion as well. Of course, your talking a bit more money but since your impulse buying...

BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!

Antenna works well if you are right off 35. The signals travel well ... so with the powered antenna, there isn't a problem.

I'll be using a DirecTV dish on a tripod. (with the expanded sports package)!!!!

FYI- I've already checked the schedule and on Sept 9th ESPN's CollegeGameDay comes on at 9:00am. I'm thinking I'll be watching Herbstret, Fowler, and Corso in the Fouts Field parking lot followed by a day's worth of games and tailgating!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
