Major university? How about an NFL team? The Dallas Cowboys uses Southlake's indoor practice facility as well.

They do?

Or they did, a handful of times four years ago, and only after their own practice facility collapsed and their domed stadium was otherwise booked?

Edit: Serious question. If they're still going there, I'm not aware and I'd like to know.

Yes, they still use it. The Cowboys have not re-built the facility that collapsed.

A serious question back....why would it matter and why would anyone even care?

Thanks to Coach Wasson and SLC for this generous offer. It's a short practice week and Coach Mac mentioned at tonight's radio show how important it is to get all possible practice time in this week.

What the hell have we become? We don't need your help! Why? Are we so high and mighty that we refuse a generous offer from a high school? Why all of the animosity? I sure as hell hope that North Texas never fails to offer help to anyone in need. There used to be a word called sportsmanship but I haven't seen or heard it lately. Excuse me, I believe that Hal Wasson just exhibited some of it.

If we ever get an indoor practice facility we better make sure we have all the funds necessary to have a nice one built.

Or else we might end up getting a joke of an indoor practice facility field like this one. Is this better than not having an indoor facility at all?

I was all for an IPF until I saw us outlast Ball State in the Texas heat. Now I'm wondering what the benefit may be.

Benefit would be that we can practice outside at the Dickey and Apogee and use the heat as an advantage from summer through September-ish and then once it's not hot enough outside to matter, we have an indoor place that can be used in all weather.

No mud, swarms of locust, lightning delays. We can filter out all the Benzene and junk that the gas well over on Bonnie Brae is pumpin out.

This. I seriously have major concerns with the well-being of our athletes and the neighborhood just up Bonnie Brae that is unfortunately having to deal with this crap at their doorstep. I really hope the City gets their legal strategy worked out on this fast and gets those wells shut down. Vested rights my ass.

I thought this was a legitimate question. Don't let the haters get you down. Some people are just always looking for something negative to say.

      Parking

      I missed the creation of the Brown lot. Is this the first year of it's existence? One of our crew went early enough to be first to park in that lot Saturday. He was just carrying a plastic grocery bag of snacks so it worked well for him, priced $15. GMG

      The Black Lot was easy-peasy. Up your game.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).
