Are there any vendors that come down for the away games? Curious if there will be any merchandising at the game. I want to buy the wife a few things and its too late to order them and get them before the game.

Speaking of which, sucks being here in H-Town, you have to buy everything when you go to Denton or order it online. A couple of the folks coming to their first NT games (non-alums) want to go shopping tonight at the mall or something for some NT gear to wear. I told them, you'll have to settle for buying something green. Nothing sold around here that I know of.

Yes but you can find plenty of LSU garb.

And I by garb i probably mean garbage.

I found a North Texas long sleeve t-shirt last fall at the Dave and Barry's on the west side of town. Not sure what the mall is called, but it is in the Westheimer/Hwy 6 area. Not the best area, but I was over there working on a project and stopped in to see if they had anything. There is a new Dave and Barry's at Louetta and Kuykendahl, so you might try there.

FFJ - maybe the Athletic Dept. will have merchandise for sale at the reception tonight or at the tailgate tomorrow? It's probably too late to call anyone...

Lifer - I bought the last one of those long sleeve t-shirts at the Dave & Barry's at Katy Mills during the sales-tax-free weekend in August. It's dark green, and just says "NORTH TEXAS" in black letters, right? I asked to speak to the manager to tell him to get more NT merchandise, not knowing that Dave & Barry's is in bankruptcy. So... if they're in bankruptcy, and supposedly going to close, how did they open a new store???

KRAM1 - no, I think Lifer was either talking about either West Oaks or Katy Mills. But speaking of Gallerias, you know that Houston had theirs long before Dallas, don't you?

A memorable moment: in 1980, when we played UH in the 'Dome (I just looked it up - in fact, it was Sep 27!), the Marching band was given several hours in the afternoon to check out the Galleria. A few dozen members went to the ice skating rink, and someone got the idea to line up in forrmation (no instruments, of course). As was the way we did things back then, the drum major yelled "BAND ATTEN!", and everyone stood at attention and answered: "N T S U Band!" We had a great time, and it turned quite a few heads!

Close KRAM, but Lifer is talking about West Oaks Mall, the Galleria is at 610 and Westheimer. West Oaks is way too far for me to go. I'll try the Steve and Barry's at Louetta and Kuykendahl. Hope there is atleast one vendor at the game.

I've shopped at both Gallerias and comparing the two is like night and day. The Houston Galleria is, hands down, the better of the two by a huge margin.

Oh, every city has a "Galleria" mall. As a kid I went to the one in LA...

I was at that game. It may have been my first trip to Houston and first out of town (DFW area) NT game. We should have won it. I recall three things: 1. how cool it was to be watching football indoors in air conditioning inside the Astrodome, 2. I was concerned their real cougar mascot was going to eat our Eagle mascot taunting him on the sidelines, and 3. how much traffic was still on Houston freeways at midnight.

      Another Good Transfer for Rodney and The Softball Team

      Only 10 homers in three seasons at Tulsa (six of those in 2024), but her batting average has only improved. Like us, Tulsa suffered from a constipated offense and blown games despite many great pitching performances. I think when we swept them in Denton, the combined score over the weekend was 5-2 or 6-3 us.

      Pernetti Interview

      I've probably said it enough by this point but a revamped Pac-12 is my top choice as long as the media deal includes normal linear TV coverage and preferrably ESPN+ or Netflix for streaming as anything else would require me to invest in another service. Your second paragraph creates an interesting situation I haven't thought of much yet. I would assume the first three that OSU/WSU would want would be Boise, San Diego State, and UNLV. Then maybe CSU, Fresno, and Nevada? If it's those 6, then I think that still gives the AAC a good mix of markets and quaity programs to go after: New Mexico, Air Force, Utah State, Wyoming, San Jose State and possibly UTEP as a connector to the more western schools. However, I don't think those teams will move the needle much for The American when it comes to national interest. And even if those schools were to accept invites to The American, I think it would be a temporary move while they position themselves to move up to the new Pac-12. If the P2 take the best six MWC schools, the MWC could also backfill with the FCS powerhouses from the Dakotas, Idaho, and Montana which due to travel could convince the leftovers to stay. Like we both said, I think a new Pac-12 is the best option for us. OSU, Wazzou, SDSU, Boise, UNLV, and Fresno in the West, UNT, UTSA, Colorado State, New Mexico, Rice, UTEP in the East. (Nevada and/or Utah State, Air Force and/or Wyoming if there was interest in a 14-16 team conference).

      UNT night at Texas Rangers game

      Lots of Baylor fans in bright yellow and green tonight. The hats looked good with the Texas Ranger yellow jerseys they got last year. They also took over several sections in the outfield near the cheerleaders in a coordinated effort. Wish we could do the same to get some solid green contingents together. The Astros game will be busy though. So show up in your UNT gear. Get the hat and cheer on the Champs as they make a post All Star push to the playoffs. GMG

      We should try to be proactive and get invited to it...if it's a two division 14-team conference. Eventually media will have a say in the PAC-rebirth, suggesting the best value combination of schools for greatest media revenue deal/potential. To start however, the P2 could simply take the Top 6 MWC schools to meet the NCAA deadline to continue the PAC Conference by Summer 2026 for the 26-27 athletic season. What happens to those other MWC schools? Does the AAC have any interest?

      UNT gear

      I always considered a "sport" something physical. Video gaming to me seems more mental. I guess the hand controller inputs could be considered physical? Are chess, monopoly, and poker sports?
