Please take a moment to complete this survey on how aesthetically you would like to see the UNT pedestrian bridge to be completed. I would never try to influence a vote because that would be wrong but if you would ask them to light that sucker up with neon and make it stand out in a classy way for all who drive through it I would appreciate it! Thanks to greenrex for finding this!

As someone who used to frequent Vegas on a near monthly basis, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen neon and classy together in the same sentence.

LOL true ...my main thought is they have a chance to get peoples attention at a MAJOR location where there is a lot of traffic and they should try to make good use of it without appearing cheesy...

This is not the time for some artsy fartsy symbols that have deep meaning but no one can understand or see.

It could become a Legacy Bridge. Attractive plantings and trees as necessary and commemorative plaques placed along the way to honor those who have brought pride and recognition to our school. I am not familiar with the construction but it seems these things could be attached to the rafters in a visually tasteful way as well as incorporated in the landscape. Perhaps there could be a portion of this space dedicated to those grads who have given their lives in service to our country. But wait, that's not all...How about reserving some of this space for the purpose of selling little personalized plaques for all of us to show our thanks/pride.

Neon is back and can be very classy if done tastefully. I say incorporate a neon Scrappy on the north side and I mean the REAL Scrappy. The skinny, traditional Scrappy Scrappy. He is our only real icon and his image is both currently appropriate as a fighting underdog and ,for our older alumni, a nice remembrance of things past. We have traditions if we would just USE them.

This is more of a start a tradition thing, but how about painting an eagle's claw with green epoxy and white glittery aggregate starting on the bridge and leading down to the stadium. One claw footprint for each win at Apogee Stadium. Start next season with 7 for the first 7 games that have already been won. Each time the team wins at home they get to add another claw footprint. It would take years to complete, but it could be the start of a tradition. They could put the date and the score of each home win. Players can take pride in every claw they put down knowing it will be there for years to come. Years from now they can point to games they won and tell their kids they won it right here in this stadium. Just a thought.

And who is going to read all of this stuff, going 65-70+ miles per hour? Think of billboard advertising and keep it simple and to the point. Let them know where they are passing though. Mean Green Country, or a North Texas with the stylized Eagle. Put green LED lights on it that people can see from a distance; create some interest in what's ahead.

Just......................University of North Texas with an interchangeable "This Is Mean Green Country" in large letters so it can be seen from a distance.

Even large bronze letters like at our main entrance sign would look dignified during the day then.....have some kind of lights like we have on the side of Apogee Stadium at night.

Logos? Well, remember when the next new regime moves onto campus they will undoubtedly change our eagle logo and shade of green so I wouldn't even go there with this bridge.

Commuters are moving too fast to read a moving message sign overhead and that could be as dangerous as text-messaging or punching in numbers on a cell phone as you drive.

Something simple like "Mean Green Country" should be on the bridge. Also, they should always have green lights on it, but they should figure out something "extra" (lighting wise) for games that we won. Not everyone goes over to the Administration building to see the lighting of the tower after a win.

Very solid ideas. I like both suggestions.

On the sides of the bridge I agree. Something like MEAN GREEN NATION with an eagle's head on each side facing in.

The eagle footprints would be painted on the sidewalk leading to the stadium. Each footprint = a victory at Apogee. It's more of starting a team tradition with the victory noted inside the footprint. I know it would take years for there to be enough home wins to get the footprints to lead all the way to the stadium. It might add extra motivation for players to build a home field advantage knowing that each victory will be noted there for years to come. We already have 7 wins in the new stadium. Each year that team gets to add some more footprints.

I liked Harry's idea and told them to do an art-deco style neon design. But I like the walk of fame and Mean Green Country thoughts as well.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.
