Didn't venture into the team shop, but it looked nice from the outside. My group was very impressed and enjoyed our experience.
The only thing I did not like was finding a place to park. There was not enough signage to direct traffic to the correct lots. I went to one lot that was prepaid only, was loosely directed by the attendant to the cash lot, was told by that attendant that it was full (even though there were many spaces open when I walked through it on the way to the stadium), and then had to wander through campus to an open lot. At least I got to park for free!
What we lack is attention to our operations under the grandstand. We focus a lot with the DAC and new pressbox folks that our AD forgot about the general fans and guests.
Terry Bradshaw threw 10 interceptions.Quote:

Edit: You are correct...
EASTERN NEW MEXICO (2016-17)

• Successfully converted 73 PATs in two seasons.
• Served as Eastern New Mexico’s punter in 2016 when he had 42 punts for 1,519 yards, an average of 36.2 yards per punt and booted nine punts inside the 20-yard line.
• In two seasons, he had 127 kickoffs for 7,607 yards, an average of 59.9 yards per kickoff and 57 touchbacks.

ABILENE CHRISTIAN (2015)
• Spent his freshman season at Abilene Christian where he redshirted for the Wildcats.
No word on Mason Fine. We're not sure we will know (officially) until pre-game for the UTEP game in El Paso if he plays or not. I'd think the Denton newspaper guy would report if he saw him at practice or not. Coaches kinda' funny on reporting the extent of injuries. We hope just a sprained ankle or something like that.

They radio boys (Dave Barnett & Hank Dickenson) asked Seth Littrell about both players & Coach seemed pissed that they did. He doesn't want to talk about injuries. Is this a trend?
Unless he was 100% ready to go, I’d rest Fine against UTEP. That should be an easy win no matter who is behind center. No point in aggravating an injury in a game like that.Quote:

I think our PA speakers suck. Of course, being a DJ I've lost much of my hearing due to industry related hearing damage so I'm probably not hearing the same thing our fans are.Quote:

BTW, I think yall have made "the Joe" look pretty damn good for what its worth. I really like the End Zone facility.
like I said-- no reason to be embarrassed by Vegas-- they were suckering in the non believers -- what is HORRIBLE or Embarrassing about Vegas . The life of a Sunshine Pumper is so much more fun. I took the points and over under-- vegas said 56 and final was 56--push there and $150 on the Dogs-- never in doubt after stopping the 2 point conversion . Now if you said our fan base is frustrating because NT had 31,000 attendance and unless UAB fans show up we will be lucky to reach 20k -- Sunshine Pumper over and outQuote:

For the record, I posted "if Tech shows up, the Mean Green are going down." The Dawgs showed up.
Passion for Blue Bell is passion well spent!Quote:

No, it wasn't blocked. But our punter did punt one only 18 yds. He punted 3 times against UNT, for a 33.7 yd average.Quote:

No he just didnt get off a good punt for some reason. He’ll give us some ok ones in the 30-40s, then botch one for ~20... then give us a 60+ yarder. Just a bit inconsistent.Quote:

Maybe I can lucky every once in a while. I went and it was a great experience. Also bet the Moneyline on TECH and Georgia State. It was a good weekend.Quote:
