I wanted to see if anyone knows or can , or would even pitch in on an idea I just had. I thought it would be nice if someone created a HUGE sign for the FAU game that says something along the lines of " THANK YOU SENIORS AND DD FOR THE YEARS OF HARD WORK " and everyone in the parking lot could sign it before hand. Any thoughts , Ideas ??

I thought it would be nice to show our appreciation somehow.

As much as Dickey gets bashed on this board, I think that jesture would be very nice. DD has earned some measure of honor and respect for his work at NT to put us in the first bowl game in 40 years and 4 straight bowls.

I was thinking of this very exact thing yesterday. I think it is a wonderful idea. I just don't know that I know anyone that can make a sign that big. I will check on it though.

Call Starlite Signs here in Denton....their manager is an Alum. They are capable of making a large sign and might even cut a deal on it.

They want to know what size. I have no clue. 10x3?  Is that too big or too small?

You should probably contact the athletic department and ask what the max size they would allow in, so as not to block the view of others.

Because of the message it is conveying, I would ask if you could hang it along the railing, possibly in the end zones.

It would be nice if this happens, it can be pinned so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.  Of course, we'll also need plenty of Sharpie markers - anyone got an "in" on those?  biggrin.gif

I actually DO have an in on Sharpies. LOL

We get a deep discount through work. I'll just order them and let my job pay for them. smile.gif

Still haven't heard back from this Paul guy but I imagine he might be a bit busy today...

The only way to really get your message across, and make the evening sports on every channel...is to make the banner 10 yards wide and 30 yards long. You will need about ten gallons of paint and fifteen boxes of "sharpies." Do it big, or don't do it at all. Really....10 feet X 3 feet???? For gooness sakes! What a terrible way to send off Coach Dickey!

I agree. I think we need to at least double that. 25' X 5' would be probably do it.

That is why in this same thread I asked if that was too big or small. No one responded to that question did they?

I think it may be wise to wait and see how DD acts over the next few weeks. The rumor mill seems to be pointing to the fact that he won't go quietly.

You called and left a message asking what size they thought best, so wait till they answer. Or call on Tuesday if they don’t call back to get the answer. I somehow doubt they are going to allow a 25 yard sign!

I’ll bring my own Sharpie®.

At that size cost does become an issue. Just the blank for the banner will cost about $100. I have a 5'x15' banner that was ordered and then canceled so I have the blank just sitting here so I can do that. Again just waiting on approval. And if Dickey lives up to his name we can always do a thank you seniors. Let me know by Thursday or I am not sure we will be able to get it made in time.

I haven't heard back from the athletic department yet. Big surprise there. dry.gif

I am cool with just a seniors message. I have a ton of black and green sharpies that I ordered and can bring so everyone can write messages to the seniors.

While it was Dickey's time to go, and things in the press may have gotten a little out of hand, there is no shame in you fans, whether you are DD supporters or not, honoring his accomplishments at UNT. Look at it this way: at least you didn't have Andy McCantwin for the last eight years. Andy used to talk trash about MTSU fans! He also left a huge mess in our football program which will take up several more years recovering from. I hope you guys make a similar turnaround next year with a new coaching staff that we have this year.

Best of luck, Eagles (sorry, I just can't bring myself to say... you know.)

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
