Can anyone confirm that they are actually calling it "Dogtown"?

I'm not going to gripe about it too much... but I think this could be a good strategy for getting students to vote for the new stadium.

Would you really have wanted Dickey to talk to students? He would have talked them out of coming to the games.

You and I thought the same thing. When I read the post asking why it had not been done before, I pictured DD outside the Union chain smoking and dropping f-bombs while he addressed his student group on that week's game. Come to think of it, that would have been much more entertaining than Dodge's polished upbeat approach. Clearly, RV blew a golden opportunity when he had one.

A great idea, and who cares if the name has to change in a few years. This, evidently, is Dodge's idea.

The name escapes me, but didn't the Utah students incorporate Meyer's name into their section's title?

(Daily Utah Chronicle) (U-WIRE) SALT LAKE CITY -- One month until kickoff and members of the Mighty Utah Student Section already have their tickets.

The MUSS is a student group that, for a $25 fee, gives privileges to members at sporting events, including a preferred reserved seat in the student section, a T-shirt, an invitation to pre-game catered tailgates, an invitation to an alumni tailgate at Homecoming, a chance to win sideline passes at a football game and special tickets to road games.

is this what you were thinking about?

I think Meyer was gone by the 2006 season. So possibly this group had a different name when he was there??? (one that incorporated his name in some way?)

I don't know...just throwing this out there.

They had to steal her soul and give to Jenny Lewis after she made that song that was in every chick movies for about 2 years. Then she did a song that was used in WNBA commercials. Then she toured with Jason Mraz.

GREAT IDEA! I could care less if it came from the AD, the Head Coach, mandy or anyone else associated with the university...heck, it may have come from Prez GB herslf...don't care...what i care about is the fact that this is a GREAT IDEA. Yes, the name is important, but not nearly as important as getting something like this off and running. Whether it is Dodge's idea or not, the fact that he would support and participate actively in the program is GREAT NEWS!!!!

WAY TO GO MEAN GREEN...I see many many indications that the "stinkin' thinking" around UNT and UNT Athletics is being left behind for positive forward looking thinking. OK, so I am a bit optimistic here, but, folks good things are happening...too many prople on this board cannot seem to see the positive in anything, but positive things are happening all over the campus....this is yet another idea. Now, let's do all we can to give it our support!

GO MEAN GREEN...BUY SEASON TICKETS...JOIN THE EXES...JOIN THE MEAN GREEN CLUB...and, go to the games!

I think the name of the group ought to be something that honors the late Cesar Chavez.

Industrial student section?

I like this idea. But naming the section "DogTown"?

I guess the band will play "Who Let the Dogs Out"

the other names suggested, "Dodge City", and "Green Zone"

sound better. I would vote for Dodge City!

Question???? Will this be for freshmen only (something similar to the Baylor Line) or for all students?

Another name suggestion......Greenbackers.

Fantastic Idea....

I wish we could have one on the student side and the alumni side. Great Job Coach Dodge.....

I wonder if everything will fall into place for the opening tulsa game.

Not a bad idea for the alumni side either - maybe it would get more people to stand and cheer a little more.

I'm sure everyone realizes this, but the student section is probably the most significant section of the whole staduim. If this section isn't full then this is a primary predictor of the alumni section attendance numbers for the future. Of course within that section you can create all sorts of traditions, but not until you can fill it on a regular basis. we have made some very significan t progress with in the past few years and Dodge is a great vehicle to move this forward on. Lets make it big!

I did leave the door wide open and knew exactly what I was doing when I did it. However, you and I both know where that ends - almost banned for life from the most sacred of time-wasting sites on the internet short of youtube, gordonkeith, google images, imdb, and woman continuously falling through balls.

And ultimately, it ends in the abomination of Tortilla throwing during football season. Speaking of tortillas - anyone else interested in tailgating on some weekends to watch the new stadium get built? I'll buy the stadium if someone else cooks.

      Bye Bye Chandler Morris

      Loved everything about your post but I wanted to highlight this section. I believe a lot of the fans on this board want to stick their heads in the sand and minimize the absurd mismanagement of the football program the last 20 years. We have a ton of alumni locally that could be won over. But the decisions made are insulting to the intelligence of people who casually pay attention when the program makes a big move. I harp on Odus Mitchell because his tenure shows dramatically what can be done with hard work and competence. And it is totally incompetent for program with upwardly mobile aspirations to hire first time FBS level coaches. And what is worse when we do hire a FCS head coach they don't hire the best one available. Dodge, Littrell, and Morris were bad hires. They may have been fine when it comes to the X & O of their sides of the ball. We need marketer, Adminstrator and culture builder. They selected the coaches I mentioned like a good functional Air Raid Offense would fix everything. I attended at least 3 home game a year since the last couple of season at Fouts Field and the game atmosphere more dead now than ever in my opinion. You can just feel the disappointment in fans. There is no structural disadvantage here that prevents North Texas from being on par with programs like Louisville, Memphis, Tulane, UNLV, San Diego State, UCF, SMU or USF.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      DC comment is regarding Caponi, I love his new choice, but Defense suffered for 2 years. As for Hodge, think team is a once again middle of the road AAC, losses to McNeese and High Point highlight that and negate the Oregon St and Minnesota wins, should not expect to be a Top 3 team in conference, especially when expected to only be a 1-2 bid conference max

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      For FB only would be a good move by NIU, then either join Summit, Horizon League for other sports, save $$$

      Is it really brave to laud your boss publicly?

      Coach Akers has done a good job, but he should stay away from this type of blatant public self serving politics.

      THE BAND (Bowl Version)

      Nope, but I'm sure the game being on a Friday influenced it. I'm also not sure how much the band director's discretion has to do with it. I would hope and assume the band would be in Dallas, but last year there weren't even student busses arranged for the SMU game. All the social media accounts were pushing people to watch on ESPN2 instead of attending.
