Money revenue.

They will be back.

If anything we will see more options next year

As cool as they were (and they were), I just wish we'd go to a green helmet with a white SOW and be done with it. The Oregon/Oklahoma State fad that thinks you have to have a new helmet every game is getting old IMHO.

I really hope this doesn't mean we're never wearing them again. I'd be pissed

They would not have used these helmets again anyway. They are the green helmets that they wore all season with the aforementioned wraps on them.

Can we get minis of the alternate helmets used? I would love to get one of these, but there are several reasons that I may not be able to get one. Plus, I already have a mini helmet collection going and these would be great to add to my collection.

On a related note, would love to see the historic mini helmets that we have worn available for purchase in the Apogee store. I would really love to be able to complete my collection as some others may want to do as well (or even start a collection for some).

Yes! Anyone know where I can get an "eagle through the hula hoop" mini? I am missing that one

I just hope they make them a more reasonable $200, instead of the over priced $300 last time...I wasn't willing to pay that, but would probably pay 2 bills...seems like everytime they do something they charge too much....$80 bucks at the Tower club...too much...$7 beers at HOD....too much...$300 helmets...too much....season tickets...about right. They should build the fan base a bit more before they start sticking to everyone...kinda like tuition IMO.

The 300 bucks was to recoup their actual cost. Yes, it's a chunk of change, but it really wasn't an effort to "stick it to everyone."

And UNT had nothing to do with the cost of refreshments at the Cotton Bowl.

There are some shortcomings over at the A.D., but I don't think the cost of these things are among them.

If we want to stay at the top level of classification we better get used to paying for it. I know not everyone can afford it, and I am in no way trying to cast aspersions on anyone who can't, but if we don't find enough people who have the extra money and choose to spend it on this, we are going to be in whatever the second lower classification is.

Also I believe the helmets are $300 each when the program buys them from the distributor, so they are in essence charging replacement cost.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
