Just got word. Also, groundbreaking ceremony, prior to the Army game, 11 a.m. BE THERE!

I don't know anything more on it. Maybe Flyer can fill us in although I don't expect there's much more to say about it.

Great news.

As I mentioned in an earlier post...DONE DEAL! Congratulations to all who worked so hard and for so long to bring this to reality. Thanks to the students who had the foresight to vote in favor of the stadium. This is a great day for the Mean Green Nation!

Got to give a big THANK YOU TO RV too...he had the vision and the fortitude to see it through. We have had many AD's who talked a good fight, but didn't "walk the walk". RV said he would do all he could to make it happen and he did...and he is still working to make it a great stadium for the fans of the MEAN GREEN. Thanks to all.

GO MEAN GREEN! See you at the W KY game Saturday.

I choose to give most of the credit to UNTFLYER.

Any word on anything spoken at the hearing ? Was there someone there to speak for or against ? Did the members "high five" each other when the motion passed ? Anything ?

GO MEAN GREEN

The DRC article said that several residents from the Denia neighborhood were making the trip down, but that neither pro or against sides were allowed to speak.

Correction...there have been many AD's who talked the talk, but were not allowed to walk the walk by the senior administration. Just for historical clarity.

I will also note this tidbit of positivity (for KRAM) about the stadium in the DMN "College Briefs" section of the sportspage...

...."UNT officials hope to break ground next month on a facility that will seat more than 30,000 and open for the 2011 season".... :)

ditto, RV had his chance 7-8 years ago and screwed the pooch, the Ath. Department did not do this but rather the students and SGA.

Kudos to the students!!

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
