To honor Walt Parker?

How about the possibly going real old school at homecoming and having '68' as the logo of the helmet for that game a la Alabama?

RV's board-droppers...get his attention for something like this.

Also, the new stadium...Walt Parker Stadium? Think about it. Who did more on and off the field for more years for North Texas than Walt?

The stickers, or some kind of patch, to honor Mr. Parker sounds like a great idea.

However, naming the stadium after him is a little touchier subject. The university is looking to sell naming rights. Even if no one has bought the rights when the stadium first opens, if someone wants to buy those rights later on, what are we going to do? Take Walt Parker's name off the stadium after it has been on it? Noble thought, though.

Check out the helmet in that photo? Notice the design? If it’s color is similar to color photos of the same similar helmet I’ve seen in early Yucca’s in the Alumni Center, it should also be Green and White, and in the similar design, as most leather helmets were back then, as the modern U. of Michigan helmets today. Very cool history in my opinion. And I’m with TFLF on the suggestion as well.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
