So, I'm at the Alumni Center picking up a few Tank Army T-Shirts before the Kickoff-Cookout today and I spot this book by LaForte and Himmel with the title "Down the Corridor of Years" - "The History of UNT in Photos from 1890-1990. As i am flipping through the pages and doing "remember whens"...I spy this quote...see if you can figure out what the guy is talking about before you scroll down for the answer...

circa 1984: "For example which North Texas sport has never had a losing season, has a winning percentage of .734 for its entire history, has appeared in the national top 20 rankings every year since 1980, and was the first team sport ever to receive an NCAA post-season tournament invitation?"

This you have it figured out...

Men's Soccer - Quote by Coach Richard Lowe from the Winter 1984 edition of the "North Texan". man that brought back great memories of some great teams and then some really Title IX thoughts. If only...if only......

First national championship...the men's golf team in the early 50's. Other national championships....NT debate squad in the 60's, the One O'Clock Lab Band has probably won some informal national championships, the Green Brigade drum line has won national championships and the NT Cheerleaders have won three national championships. Nice showing by soccer, but just one of other intities on campus.

drex, you are losing it...let me remind you that debate and One O'Clock Lab band...are not team sports. Nor, for that matter is the Drum line ...and does the NCAA recognize Cheer leading as a team sport? Now, while I admit to being proud of all those accomplishments, you are really stretching here....

Touche...I was just pointing out that NT has won some national championships in the past. NCAA golf is a sport, by the way.

Right. Debate isn't a sport. IT'S WAR! :)

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
