I'm going to make the wild prediction that the school will make an announcment at the cook out on Saturday. With all the talk about a new stadium, coming from Dodge and the recruits, I think something is up. They wouldn't say things like that for the paper unless they ment to leak it. I think they will have a revised design and a date for the ground breaking. What do you guys think?

The only announcement at the cookout will be that it is 101 degrees and the event should have been in the air conditioned coliseum.

They might very well at least make an annoucement that they have a new conceptual design, and show some architectural renderings/sketches to start generating interest. Think about it, this is the last big public gathering prior to football season starting, so this would be the perfect time to at least show some ideas and discuss them publically in person.

I cant make it to the cookout, so Im asking PLEASE, if there ARE renderings or whatever, SOMEBODY TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM AND POST THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remarks are only scheduled for 15 minutes from 8:15pm - 8:30 when the event ends. This will probably include only pep talks from RV and TD. I would not expect any stadium info until after some kind of student fee passes to fund it.

The stadium info will come out before the referendum... to do otherwise would be stupid. You are only going to win over the fence sitters if you show them what they are voting for.

And I agree, the stadium designs SHOULD be shown at the Cookout, but that just means they won't.

Oh, I agree the students should and probably will be given stadium info well before any vote, especially drawings and pics (I hope). But I don't know if the older UNT fanbase will see much info until after the vote.

Didn't someone post photos of the new uniforms last year from the cookout and they had to be taken down?

It was from the Football 101 which was before the cookout.

yea... that was me "unveiling" the unis early from football 101. Just got home from this years 101 event... sorry guys -- No stadium news. :(

HOWEVER - RV did mention that the stadium is like rolling a snowball up hill... but when we get to the top we are going to roll right over the Tech's, TCU's, SMU's, UTEP's, Houston's and TULSA's on the way down! Interesting also that they mentioned a newly opened bank in town that is owned by an alum. I forget the name but perhaps they would make a great stadium sponsor? :)

Aside from that the event, as always, was awesome. I've been to the last 5 of them and Mandy always goes out of her way to make it fun for all involved.

don't you think if they were going to make an announcement they would've advertised that way. attendance would boom if there was a stadium announcement. how many people went to the cookout last year for the unis?

The cookout is still free to season ticket holders who bought their tickets prior to the renewal deadline, right? Just wanted to make sure that's still the case.

You had to RSVP for your free/comp tickets last week. Call the ticket office, otherwise $20 per adult cookout ticket. Overflow parking is at Victory Hall dorm this year.

I did call them and evidently I renewed past the April deadline. Whoops! They won't budge on freebies. I may still go, debating it..

As I recall...food is free, but if you wanted a beer (or wine, I think they had wine) you had to pay for that...food lines were really LONG...my wife and I are going to eat before we go and just enjoy a few beers at the event. I hope they have "fixed" the food line mess for ths year...See you there!

We are also eating before the event due to long food lines in the past. RV mentioned the location has changed from the deck to I believe the side of the AC? for more shade. This would be a good change with expected temp to 105. Why can this not be held inside on the floor of the SuperPit?

      Where are they now?

      Sincere question…Does anyone think Chandler Rogers is enrolled at CAL for no longer than a year and already qualifies for a degree ? A check, maybe. But I can’t imagine anyone graduating from anywhere, as mobile as he has been in college, in one year.

      Let's not pretend like we don't all know why though, every other board would have banned you by now.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      On the telecast, they made if sound like that was part of his game and not so much his work in the paint. He wasn't terrible, but his footwork was not impressive to me. May be the rust from not being on the floor. The only two players that didn't see the floor were Cotton and Smith. I am assuming Cotton is hurt and Smith just isn't quite ready. It would be nice to see Lorient and Sissoko take him under their wing and help develop him. Regarding this team: Lorient (Jr.): Man, he has exceeded all expectations and just seems to be getting better and better. Hope we can keep him. Massie (Sr.) and Floyd (Sr.): Does either qualify for an extra year or is this it? Jossell (Sr): Love his game. I am assuming he is done after this year since this is his 5th season. Our most confident shooter at this time. Wright (Sr.): Considering this is his 5th year to play, I guess he is a one and done. Very different from what I expected. Pretty shot, but not athletic enough to create his own shot off the dribble. Stays within his abilities and quietly puts up numbers. Mason (Fr.): He needs minutes. This kid could be something really special. Cotton (R-Fr): Really want to see more of his game. Probably currently a level below Mason, but has the ability to be a double figure scorer. Stone (Sr): Happy to see him get the "and one" last night. That play really exemplifies his game. His hustle on the defensive end led to that play. Really wish he could have found his stroke the last few years, because I love his grit. He tries so hard and is Mean Green through and through.
