Ok, great... How much you down for?

I want a new Scrappy so bad that I would donate money to the cause. The new one is just lifeless and looks like s snuggie form TV. If we can not get a new one I will learn to love this one. Just a tho

Bring back the old, OLD Scrappy. I want the one from the fifties with a scowl on his face and tough the little scrappy looking body. Every Scrappy since him has been a pumped up cliche'. The old, old Scrappy is a real icon who sort of reminds me of the Kansas Jayhawk. Perhaps someone could put him up on this board. I don't know how. I am old too (and scrappy).

I thought it was a homecoming throw back thing. Had no idea he was for real forever! But we did win bowl game #3 in 100 years under that crazy looking bird.

Dress it up a little, put it on a street corner on Mockingbird and I promise you we will never see it again.

Laughed really hard at that comment, then felt bad and guilty shortly afterwards

Whoever came up with this redo should have their style gene executed by firing squad.

Haven't laughed that hard at what you said since Dr. Keenum.

Old Scrappy is not coming back. That costume was falling apart. It was really bad on the crown of the beak. Also, the material had thinned out do much on the beak that it looked like he'd been shot in the face with a shotgun when the light hit just right.

Also, I wouldn't look for a jersey on new Scrappy any time soon either. Do you remember the cartoon version that came out first? The one they use in marketing and is printed on some of the new youth shirts? https://identityguide.unt.edu/create-our-look/university-spirit-marks. No jersey.

The "standard" Scrappy image may explain the hideous eyebrows.

After RV mentioned on the podcast that there wasn't much budget for a new bowl game uni, I have to wonder if the HOD helmets were funded by the receipt of the refund demanded for whatever was paid to the producer of Naked E.L. Scrappy.

Even Scrappy's website is too ashamed to update... http://www.meangreensports.com/trads/scrappy.html#

you know those green mats that go under your Christmas tree? The one with one hole in the middle for the tree stand and the fake green grass?

It looks like new scrappy found one of those and stuck his awesomely large head through the hole meant for the tree stand.

Sideline Scrappy certainly doesn't have the pecks of cartoon Scrappy.... Also the cartoon has a white furrowed brow with darkened black eyes whereas the physical suit has dark eyebrows...... detail mistakes in my book

How much could a new mascot uniform cost? $5000? I bet this board could raise that.

Do anyone know how much a brand new Scrappy would cost? Or who we could ask.

You really think so? So far all the talk has resulted in one $50 pledge.

So...he asks if money can be raised and he gets tons of opinions, but no offers of cash! Priceless!

HOF worthy!

The very simple alternative would have been to do it right the first time. I know that's not exactly standard procedure and really seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

We have raised $5000 before, and we regularly raised $2000 for the Dickey football camps. I guess some of the newer members weren't around for that.

Funny...somehow I thought we were discussing this thread, but ancient history is fun too I guess. Thanks for the input.

Still sitting at a grand total of $50. What you in for?

The ones who messed it up and still signed off on it should be the ones paying for it. Just sayin....

That doesnt include your donation of...?

Where did I say I wanted to donate or that I disliked the new Scrappy? Pretty presumptuous of you there.

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
