I ended up taking one of my sons last night. He's just over 2. He loved seeing the band, especially the drum line. Quotes from him below.

"Look daddy, there's the football stadium. Eagle!"

"Scrappy is my friend daddy."

"I am going to hug scrappy."

"Scrappy. He's cool daddy."

"Wow."

Greatness.

You are talking about making memories here JRock. Nothing...absolutely nothing...like having a son or daughter enjoy an outing with Dad (and/or Mom). This post put a great big smile on my face. Enjoy these years JRock...they will fly by and you will miss them dearly in a few years. Greatness indeed. Priceless also come to mind. Made my day.

This is correct. They added the caw a couple seasons ago after U---N---T-----Eagles (caw! And put up the claw)

So, as idiotic as it sounds, "CAW" just won't go away huh? :no:

Why the hell does anything have to be said past EAGLES? Why isn't chanting U-N-T...EAGLES!!!! and brandishing our mascot's main weapon "THE CLAW" not sufficient?

Gezzz Louise. <_<

:) Thanks Kram! I loved bringing him. Still can't believe how fast he is growing. I need to find him a cool Mean Green shirt and cap. Also, can't wait to take him to the Dallas Stars games.

On Facebook I saw a lot of students complain that they had to either walk or drive over to the stadium.

Just another one of those things that would be fixed by winning.

Relly? Really? Have we gotten that lazy? You can't walk, or drive a few blocks? Maybe if you don't live in the city, sure you might miss an event like this. It just amazes me.

Seriously?

Somewhat serious. I know, they should come here and automatically feel the need to come out to all things Mean Green. My point is 20 years ago, kids thought nothing of the heat. Video games cured that, so the walk while not a big deal to you and I, is to them. Most on campus last night were freshmen, and many don't have cars. The hotels close to me (Hampton, Homewood, Holiday Inn, etc) were packed with parents bringing their kids to town. So the shuttle would communicate the seriousness of an event like this, especially to our newest potential student supporters. And student supporters continue to support after they are gone. I know its a cost, but I think you have to look at it over the long haul so to speak.

I've bitched about our lack of spirit traditions for years....mainly the lack of a North Texas yell that everyone can easily participate in. However, I draw the line at students trying to create idiotic ones.

Forgodsakes, even the old pre-20's yell..

boom-a-lacka-boom-a-lacka, Bow wow wow

ching-a-lacka-ching-a-lacka-chow chow chow

boom-a-lacka-ching-a-lacka, who are we?

we are the students of TNC!

...would be better than CAW!

(BTW, here it is in the 1914 Yucca.

CAW!?!? forgodsakes? you give them props for THAT?

I really respect you Flyer, but you need to stick to stadium building....... B)

The Bookstore actually has some decent stuff for toddlers. Bought my 2 yr old the t-shirt that looks like his head on a UNT players body: http://www.bkstr.com/ProductDisplay/10001-10034-10563-37531001-1?demoKey=d

FWIW, my son, while he hasn't met scrappy, keeps letting me know, "I go miami" "dad, we watch football?" and every other day or so I'll get a "go Norf Tezas" is about the best he can muster at this point. Congrats on the fan and what a fun trip they are.

And as more students participate, the lame-ass chants or fight song changes will be rejected.

There are more annoying things in the world:

I'm incredibly onboard with this demand for mascot realism. If we don't see Scrappy off his feet and preying upon the smaller children and animals in and around the stadium this year, then why the hell do we have a team?

Also, although this is more of a 2012 demand, I would also like him to regurgitate a worm into my mouth every time we force a punt.

Also, in homage of our nickname: The Mean Green, Scrappy can never be happy either. As a matter of fact, the only emotion Scrappy can feel is anger and respond in "mean-ness". No more high-5's with Scrappy, or I'll expect he decks you.

Thanks. That's awesome. Yeah....I have to teach him right since my wife went to LSU. Our media room is purple and gold. :\

Well, people should be properly supervising their children and watching their pets.....so I'm on board with that.

Also, although this is more of a 2012 demand, I would also like him to regurgitate a worm into my mouth every time we force a punt.

Well, would you settle for some of the parts/scraps from the aforementioned children and animals from in and around the stadium?

Well, just as long as CAW doesn't come out of his mouth, and he decks you first, then I'm on board with that too......... B)

Actually, yes. I feel like an albino squirrel vomited into my mouth would give me a nice sense of closure on the aughts.

You'll never see a more viscious, angry being coming after you in the stands... wait, didn't Flanigan come after YOU at Fouts?... nevermind. I think you may be able to handle Scrappy. :lol:

      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.
