Is Unt Planning Any Tribute For The Army?

[eulessismore]

And not to praise SMU, but they did have a pregame tribute before they played Navy this year (even further away from Veterans Day), with Navy fighter jets doing a flyover and a Navy Seals jumper delivering the game ball (and hey, the Army trains parachutists for all military branches). Also, they offered free game admission to anyone with a military ID.

I know there's a lot of negativity being felt and expressed on the board now, and I can understand that. I think it would only be right for us to recognize right now how much the Army family is hurting right now due to recent events, and that putting on a good game atmosphere and trying to get as good an attendance as possible for both sides could be beneficial for all concerned.

Could another UNT loss be a tribute to Army ?

I was hoping we could extend other forms of hospitality.

Did you end up making out yesturday - we looked and missed you.

I heard Dodge was going to hand them a win on a silver platter.

He does that for everyone , I think Army deserves something more

The extraordinary rendition of Todd Dodge? It could be like a dunk tank, only way more intense.

Maybe we could use it as a fundraiser for the new stadium? I bet Lonnie and shaft would be good for $5 apiece, easy.

How about our DEF players and coaches all wear camo for the game in honor of Army. I mean we wouldn't be able to see them out there during the game or anything , but that's not really anything new.

yes...they are doing an f-16 (i think) flyover.

No, man. I just felt kind of headachey and wussed out; I blame the entire lackluster nature of our team's performance on my going awol.

It always sucks when you were planning on making out and it just didn't pan out

I'm not sure if you and I were talking about the same thing, but I agree with your statement anyway.

Euless stuck out

Ah, ok; now I've read back through enough of the thread to get it...dang, are you guys going to make it where the whole thread has to be read? I can think of a few where that could be tough! As for "making out", my wife was out of town, so y'all can reach your own conclusions!

[shaft]

I really want to meet you.

I'm sure the pleasure will be all mine. I was at the game yesterday. I actually paid to come in when the team was down 16 to 3 before the half. I don't think I'm a better fan for having done that. There is just no reason to get behind a coach that can't win and can't be competitive with UL-M.

Well that'd be great if we were playing Air Force...

Yeah, I was kind of thinking of the Golden Knights Parachute Team or something.

Did it at A&M last year - had parachuters too.

i dont know for sure if thats what it was....i know they are doing a flyover...dont know what plane's usually do that.

Due to budget cuts, this is what is going to fly over the stadium...
