Circle The Date

UNTflyer · September 9, 2008

This is the day that election results will be announced. This is the day that we will know with near certainty whether the stadium will become a reality or remain an elusive dream.

The students will pass it, I have confidence.

But if they don't our program will go on.

I am not sure about that.

I am not sure about that.

I am. A 60+ year program isn't going to shut down just because students vote down a new stadium.

Ya but I don't see it getting any better. If it doesn't take a new stadium to get the program better, it would have happened a long time ago or at least in the early 2000's with all those conference championships. Face it, it's now or never.

Agreed.

Eventually it will cost the university too much money NOT to build a new one. If the vote doesn't get passed I still think we'll have one by 2014. That said, I really really hope the student vote passes..and I think it will. I think we have a lot more supportive students now than we did when I came here in 2001.

And to those wondering why Rick and Dr B are not openly endorsing the vote, they have said all along that this needs to be up to the students. We in the student body who support this thing know the stakes, and we think we're getting the message out there!

I thought the vote was going to be during homecoming week (homecoming is Oct. 25)? I thought the idea was to have it at the same time as the homcoming queen/king election, to boost the vote. Is this a change?

I agree, and unfortunately we really do not have much to show for all of those championships.

Any other program in the nation would have parlayed that into even greater success...like South Florida, Louisville, et al.

Instead, we have fired the coach that gave us those championships and hired one that has done not much better. (I know, I probably should have not mentioned that. However, I will be the first to apologize when/if TD takes us to glory...and I will gladly do that.)

Time to put up...or shut up!

No. The election for Homecoming is the same week. Election results are announced Oct 20, but Homecoming Court is announced at the game the following Saturday.
