I am now writing a column 'SPEARS ON SPORTS" every week in the SPORTS PAGE WEEKLY! Since I get no return respect or info from the UNT Athletic Department,

they should be aware I now have a public forum.

Now is the time to redefine what is meant by turning dirt on a new stadium. When, exactly is this gonna happen? I am very wary about any timeline at this time. Meanwhile,

we sit in seats at Fouts Field with birdcrap on them (sometimes), and otherwise our football future will be bright, eventually. What we hear fromn "Rick V "is usually whatever

bullcrap he feeds us. He's an "ok" guy, but I never hear from him. I will be fair in ,my reporting in my column, you have my word on it.

On another topic, my nextdoor neighbor, stupid Mary, suggests we find a way to make more area appearances for Mean Green Football, and present opportunities for working stiffs

to attend and hear from Coach Todd Dodge, and not just relegate all events within earchot of Denton. For once, she makes sense. Shocking!!!!! medanwhile, June Jones will present

his case for SMU football at a sold out event at the Anatole Hotel Grand Ballroom! It's time we step up our appeal regionally and often leading up to our first game!!!! I'll be funnier next time!

"By the way, let me know the word to your school’s fight songs and alma maters. I’ll decide the winner(s). No prizes will be awarded but the “victors” will be recognized in this very space in a future issue. Oh, no, not that Appalachian State reference again. Also, is it true that Boone, North Carolina was named after Pat Boone? Ok, just kidding. However, some examples of school songs might be “Hail-o-Hail TCU”…or “Varsity” from SMU…or “Glory to the Green” from North Texas."

At the risk of sounding too pickey, "Glory to the Green and White" is our alma mater, not our fight song. BTW, what is the name of our fight song? Is it "North Texas Fight"?

It's called the "UNT FIGHT SONG".

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
