This is exciting. I'm glad we're finally going to have something that connects the two sides of the university. They're currently adding fencing to the North Texas Blvd bridge to make it safer for pedestrians... not the most attractive fix I've ever seen.

Dig.

More bridge talk!!!

What's with you and bridges??

Needs more SOW

I agree. If they don't put SOW on the side of the bridge I'm gonna be pissed. Hayden Fry had four bridges with the flying worm back in his day!!!!

I've been wondering, and I'll preface this by saying that I know pretty much nothing about the science of construction, how are they going to build this bridge before the expansion of 35?

@ $3.5 mil to build, I think this thing better adjust automatically and serve tea and cake on the way.

Might need air conditioning and a roller press designed for $100 bills just to get students to use it.

Wow. 118 yards long. A windmill powered moving sidewalk would be a nice addition. As would built-in HDTV's, climate control, and a park situation at both ends with live music and such on game days. We could sell advertising to pay for it all.

The negative is that we're waiting on money from government. Hopefully that won't hold things ups.

And since we're about to start winning games, it won't be referred to as "bridge to nowhere"

The only thing better to connect 2 sides of a highway is a park...

      bad night. ECU loses bad...at home. RJ Felton goes 1-12 with 5 turnovers. could read that as a fluke, or maybe that ECU is pretty spare. High Point loses to UNC-Greensboro...who again, don't look awful...but a W would've helped our resume UTSA, down 14 at the half storms back to force OT against an infinitely better program. I'm gonna assume St. Mary just started coasting and let their guard down USF barely beats 1-7 Stetson Evanston lost. McNeese lost. AAC looking like a 1 bid league again.

      UTSA (3-3) in OT vs St Mary's (7-1)

      Even forcing overtime is something of a miracle.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I hear you, and I appreciate that you're reading deeper than surface-level statistics. You raise good points and have valid concerns. To further add to the context of all this, I think it's worth noting that UCF was Sam Houston's second game of the year, which means it was the second game of Cassity implementing his system. Similarly, Texas State was Sam Houston's fifth game of the year, so both UCF and TxSt were within the first half of the season. While we all wish and hope for instant change, it's impossible to have a unit firing on all cylinders with a new scheme in the first half of a new coordinator's first year. When you take that into consideration, I think the important thing to look for is growth/progress/improvement throughout the season. After holding Texas State to 39, they held Western Kentucky to 31, Jacksonville State to 21, and Liberty to 18 as the season went on. WKU and Jax State are #1 and #2 in CUSA playing in the championship game, and Liberty finished the season 8-4 with a win over East Carolina (a team we lost to with an interim coach). Further, Texas State put up 28 on now 10-2 Arizona State (who's likely headed to the CFP) the week before they put up 39 on Sam Houston. An 11-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston isn't terrible in game 5 of a new coordinator. If you wipe out TxSt's defensive touchdown and consider it 32 points given up by Sam Houston's defense, that's only a 4-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston's defense. I know this isn't all an apples-to-apples comparison, and I agree that his decline from year 1 to year 2 at ACU is concerning. However, I think there are some arguments to suggest Cassity's defensive unit did pretty well in year one of implementation and showed respectable growth over the course of the season, which makes me skeptically optimistic.
