The Eagle Has Landed

I thought someone said a while back this thing will be removed come kickoff.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

They have it mounted with the base askew and the head facing forward. I thought the plan was for it to be staring towards the visitor's bench in a menacing way.

How many games until an opposing team does something disrespectful to it? Either running onto the field or after a TD.

That's what I thought too. I think that would look better.

Looks great. Should be the start of a great new tradition. It's plenty far enough away that anyone who runs in to it would probably have to be trying to run into it in the first place. Plenty tall enough for players to touch on the way to the field. How many opposing teams do anything to disrespect Clemson's rock? Very few and I doubt many will do anything to disrespect the eagle. If they do, should give the team plenty of reason to kick some rears come game time.

Thanks so much to the Geezles...they did a great job fund raising for this project, and have helped to create a lasting tradition for UNT. Well done. Their willingness to help and to actually put their money and effort into a project rather than sit back and complain and let "someone else do the heavy lifting" is a credit to their love for UNT, their fraternity and its rich history and the members as individuals. Thanks so much.

GO MEAN GREEN!

What's the over/under on the first time a field goal bounces off that eagle's noggin'. If it's hollow, it should make a nice "GONG" sound.
