My favorite UNT tradition is using the parking lot behind Riprocks for two-sies whenever that foulest of rumblings fire off in my lower intestine in between blasters at Lou's.

I like the big green and white North Texas flag. Is it around to this day on campus?

I LOVE that flag. It is unique and represents the school perfectly.

I would get a copy if I could.

You can call American Dream Flags and Banner at (817) 221-5490 and ask for Carol.

American Dream Flags will make any size flag for you.

They will also make antenna or car-window flags for you.

So far, they have been making the green and white Texas flags that you often see posted on this board.

I especially like our tradition of changing traditions:

New fight song? Why not!

Our logo is two years old already! I'll have a new one for you in the morning.

How about a new shade of green? But, of course...

I have an idea, let's change our nickname and confuse everyone! I thought you'd never ask!

A tradition I'd really like to see stop is the barriers some people put up to "prevent" them from supporting the Mean Green.

"I'll start sending money when the AD starts doing this and that."

"I'll buy season tickets when we get Kettle Korn."

"I'll join the Mean Green Club when we get Vince Lombardi as head coach."

"As long as such and such works for the Athletic Dept, they won't see one red cent from me."

"I'll donate to the Stadium fund when I see dirt fly. If the design meets my personal specifications."

"There's no need to be in my seat until about mid way through the first quarter."

Traditions we could lose.

If we changed the fight song, would you have to change your alias?

Sort of related: Which Srappy head do you prefer of recent years?

The older spikey/pointy head:

The current rounded backed head:

I'm a bit partial to the older of the two. (Don't you love offseason topics?) Maybe it's because we used to win with the spikey Scrappy. Much higher intimidation factor.

I'd like to know the history of the Battle Flag (Green Texas Flag). Can they add that to the site?

They will as the NT Battle Flag has been adopted as an official university logo now, so I've heard?

I've always been partial to the spikey Scrappy, too... Why'd they change him???

They wanted a softer Scrappy to go with the defense.

The effeminate leg kick, Mary Tyler Moore catching her hat in there definitely makes spikey scrappy the more "intimidating"

      Honest tactical question here…

      Yeah the classic Air Raid was about scoring more and zagging when everyone else was zigging. Now that teams are ready for spread, up-tempo, etc, there is a ton of value in controlling the clock. I don't think that necessarily means doing an Army and running it every play but I do think that keeping the defense off balance includes slowing it down and maybe doing a huddle. I don't know that THIS defense has tired legs. I think they are just small and weak compared to what they need to be. When Morris was talking about "we are not strong enough, not big enough" he was talking about the defense (and a little bit of the offensive line). It is absolutely imperative that we get three or four very good defensive lineman for next year or it will be more of the same.

      That is a fantastic question. ————- Morris will earn a base salary of $900,000 per year, plus guaranteed incentives, including a $300,000 annual radio/television stipend.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Defense used to be our calling card and our offense was compared to a Buick. Now, we got the offense most want, Leach-like and high powered, but our defense is terrible. I would love to have our vaunted defense back and sacrifice a little offense. It is demoralizing to watch our defense play out of position, miss tackles, take bad angles, etc. week after week. This all falls on coaching. We recruit better now than we did then yet we do nothing with these young men. Example, Eod Brown was a handful for Army to handle when moved off the nose and into a four man front. What do we do? Go right back to the 3-3-5 failure because that is the defense that gave Morris the most fits. Don’t tell me we aren’t capable of recruiting on the same level as Tulane, Memphis, etc. We have everything they have to offer and more. Time to get away from the no defense/air raid offense.

      What media appearances? A Coach’s Show and the conference media days? Maybe post game and mid week press conferences which are little more than him having a conversation from Vito and a student reporter from The Daily. That is a waste of money.
