Did anyone watching the North Texas vs ULL Espn2 telecast find it annoying to hear the band director in the background before every band piece was played? This went on throughout the game. Same thing at the Houston game, but I dismissed it because we were sitting right there by the band. But over a TV telecast, across the field? Maybe he needs to turn down that cheesy little Radio Shak PA system he uses.

no i like his little quips... they are pretty funny...

but on a sidenote... I was more disappointed that the ULL/Arky St. game had Joe Tessitore and Desmond Howard as their announcer, while we got some scrub and Andre Ware...

I need more Desmond Howard at UNT

Let me shed a little light on the situation, so that way you don't make yourself look silly for criticizing. ESPN puts mics by the band. It's not our fault the ESPN crew decided not to turn down the mics that were by the band.

Also, the "cheesy little Radio Shak PA system" is basically the most common PA system used by marching bands across the nation. So way to make yourself look like you know what you're talking about.

Give Andre ware over Howard every time. I listened to Howard for about 5 minutes and wanted to rip my ears off. He's better on game day.

A guy that was in the Texas State band said that it was lame that North Texas uses the PA system at all. According to him "Only High Schools use PA systems. It's pathetic"

I had no idea this was a thing. I had no comeback for this.

Ask him if the Texas State Band Director needs to speak to a marching band of 350 members...

NT is not the only college band using PAs.

Look pal, I don't have to know anything about marching bands. Anyone watching the game on ESPN2 or 3 could hear the band director quite clearly in the background. This was a national broadcast for crying out loud! For such a highly acclaimed marching band, I thought the band director announcing instructions for a national audience was small time and very annoying. No one in the broadcast truck could have instructed the field crew to turn down the ESPN mike?

It's O.K. Everything is fine. I have just contract.............er, contacted my own private sound engineering team and they will make the necessary "adjustments" prior to the next televised or ESPN3 home game. They will be supervised by one of my own, Alphonso Destefano.

I'm just amazed at our ability to complain about anything and everything. I heard that we lost some 4* prospects because they didn't like the way the marching band sounded on TV.

I'm not complaining about the marching band. In fact, I'm not complaining at all. Just pointing out the obvious. Did you watch the game on TV?

You know... Really annoying stuff like getting the band to join the cheerleaders, having the band do the way inbetween quarters (or during tv time outs), telling the band what song is next, telling the band to yell on third down after they play...

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.

      Agree, I would like to see some of these guys get some meaningful minutes just to see what they have. It's hard since we don't see them in practice every day like Hodge does.

      What is this program missing?

      THIS!! The portal is the killer. If we only had to compete against other schools having bigger NIL, we'd still be ok because our players would have to honor their commitment here or lose a year when they would transfer away. Instead, the portal allows those NIL deals at P$s to buy off anyone looking for a payday and to play at their dream school. When we see our teams almost turn over by 75% or more, the few fans that do care look at their donations and think that they can be able to use their few thousand dollars they donate in better fashion. For me, I stopped going to games back after 2022. It just became very clear that this sport is one that I cannot support with my butt in a seat anymore. Its intrinsically unfair and completely tilted to hurt places like ours, which was already at a GIGANTIC disadvantage because of our self-inflicted stupidity of the past. Going down to FCS in 1983 and staying there for 12 freaking years while the SWC and Big 8 were at their heights was about as dumb a decision as a school could've made in this region. We nuked the program's fans and alumni support from decades before and decades ahead. But today, with the portal and NIL being what they are, the strong majority of G5 schools shouldn't be in FBS and acting like they're equals to anyone in a Power conference. Yes, you can name a few exceptions, from performance, to tradition, to budget...but this is where we need a level of play that is more like traditional college amateur football. Don't go down to FCS and lose a ton of scholarships, rather create a level of play that allows for you to have 85 or more scholarships, but they aren't playing for anything more than their scholarship and a stipend. Make college coaching staffs have a salary cap. Hell, play your games in the spring semester--do something to get coverage for the sport that America loves more than anything else. Play 10 games in a regional conference setup, then play an 8-team playoff. I would be a season ticket holder again in a heartbeat with a setup like this. Otherwise, Ill watch from afar, like I've done for two years now and haven't regretted one time.

      Texas State hired their football coach the same time we did. He just got a new contract worth $2 million per year with a record not that much better that Morris.
