It does sound like the much-anticipated Spring announcement has fallen by the wayside. I am sure when RV mentioned that there might be a big announcement, he was sure it would come to pass--kinda like Broyles thought for sure he would get Billy Gillespie when he canned Stan Heath. Maybe it will end up being next Spring's big announcement.

You've got a better chance of seeing Bigfoot involved in a three-way with The Loch Ness Monster and a unicorn.

I think Nessie takes 'em both. Rips that goofy horn out of the unicorn's head and sticks it in those big feet so they're stuck to the ground, then just pummels both of them.

Coincedently, a manage a trois very similar to this is what produced Justin Howerton.

That was a rumour or speculation, only. RV said no such thing publicly that I recall.

I think he said it in his post on the board around the time he was looking for a new head coach/hiring TD, but I may be incorrect.

No. What he said at the beginning of the season in '06 in addressing the stadium was that NT had to address all the other facilities concerns first before the stadium project could go forward. They have done that now and have since started addressing the stadium issue by hiring a fundraising firm. There has also been a survey sent out that most of us filled out and sent back on the issue. In one of his messages to us RV stated that just because there isn't any information coming from the project doesn't mean it's not on going. The fact is the university has already started the project in motion by spendng quite a bit of money and time towards the project including obtaining the latest donation last Fall(after DD was released) that was to proportionately go towards helping to find financing towards the project. Just because there was no "announcement" this spring, which was speculation on the board only, means nothing because the committment with the project is already underway. Gotta give RV time. He's done an incredble job addressing issues with facilities at a pace that to me is simply amazing considering our budget and donation levels. Gotta be patient.

unfortunately it sounds like the Spring Annoucnement has gone the way of the Quarterly Meetings.

It would be nice to actually have those quarterly meetings. Also, I wish there were some sort of Mean Green Club events other than the "meetings" at the deck or Mean Green room. <_<

I really wasn't trying to start an arguement here, just wondering if the announcement was ever made. FFR, I too seem to recall RV mentioning in a post on here something about an exciting announcement this spring.

Two years ago, in '05, he told us to look for "Good News" soon in regards to the baseball stadium and that the owners of the Denton Outlaws, although not directly relied upon for the stadium, would be part of the project. Since that time, the softball stadium was upgraded and completed. I must say it's a fairly nice place to watch a softball game.

He did, but I'm not sure it was on this board, perhaps in a newspaper- or maybe he just told me, I don't remember. But it wasn't 2 years ago- it was this past fall/winter.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
