I just heard a story on KRLD about how the SGA will vote tonight to include/exclude the referendum on the fall election. I'm sure they'll repeat the story throughout the day but I'll touch on a few points.

They played a recorded quote from Rick V. that said something about how he felt if we didn't get a new stadium soon, we'd be looking for a place to play in 7 or 8 years (because Fouts will no longer be a viable option). They also mentioned the 200+ opposition group on Facebook (no mention of the group in favor of the stadium) and said they feel we don't need a new stadium because we never fill up the one we have.

Ok, that's about all I remember from the brief mention. I just thought I'd let the board now...this is really starting to get some play on the local news media.

just sad that the media refuses to acknowledge a group that is roughly 6-7x larger than the opposition. I guess it is true the minority always screams the loudest.

What can you say about the media these days???? UGH! They tend to print only "bad news" when it serves whatever purpose they have in writing the story in the first place. I long for the days when news "news" and not "opinion columns"!

There is a good deal of support within the student population for the new stadium. It is simply a shame that that support is so "passed over" in most of these reports...shame on RV for not mentioneing the support group...however, i have not heard the interview or the broadcast...so, it might have been that he was not given the chance or that the question was simply "is there any organized opposition" and he was simply responding....of course they wouldn't ask about support now would they?

Anyway, the news media will not make or break this vote...I hope the "pro" group really works hard to see that the vote is positive in favor of the stadium.

GO STUDENTS IN SUPPORT OF UNT ATHLETICS!!!! In supporting athletics you are supporting UNT and its efforts to move foward and "upward"!

I love the stance that a new stadium is not needed because "I don't want it" or "I don't use it". I don't mind people having an opinion but at least think about the big picture, weigh the pros and cons then make an informed decision.

Maybe they're trying to be ironic, taking the recent "choice of 34,XXX students" and saying about 200 are against it. Maybe it's supposed to be implied. Or maybe they just suck.

LOL, I'm LMFAO on that one. I keep my volume muted while I'm at work, but I turned it up to try to hear the music you're talking about. I don't hear anything.

Ok, try it again. I found a music clip embedded in my signature. It should be gone now. Maybe you aren't crazy after all???

No, you're not crazy - you're hearing Groucho sing "I'm Against It" :D

I don’t know what they have to say,

It makes no difference anyway --

Whatever it is, I’m against it!

No matter what it is or who commenced it,

I’m against it.

Your proposition may be good

But let’s have one thing understood --

Whatever it is, I’m against it!

And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,

I’m against it.

I like the Ramones "I'm Against It", too:

Well I'm against it

I'm against it

Well I'm against it

I'm against it

I don't like politics

I don't like communists

I don't like games and fun

I don't like anyone

And I'm against it.

I don't like Jesus freaks

I don't like circus geeks

I don't like summer and spring

I don't like anything

I don't like sex and drugs

I don't like waterbugs

I don't care about poverty

All I care about is me

And I'm against it.

I don't like playing ping pong

I don't like the Viet Cong

I don't like Burger King

I don't like anything

And I'm against it

Well I'm against it

I'm against it

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
