  1. He definitely is the best I've experienced Had a funny run in with him at a Denton Chamber of Commerce function. I have talked to the Prez on a number of occasions but this one time, I was standing in the bar area (DUH) he was making his way through the room meeting and greeting people and then he came up to me and said "Hi Jeff" and I was completely blown away. I thought to myself, a man of his caliber and knowing so many people, he remembered my name. I was blown away! After our conversation ended, he continued working the room and then I looked down and realized that I had a name tag on....................

  2. I remember when I took a tour of UNT my senior year of high school. We were walking around campus and we actually happened to run into him while on the tour. He asked us all what we wanted to major in and do with our lives. He told us we’ll be successful here and Go Mean Green. That + the great campus atmosphere (plus only living 2 hours away from family) made me decide UNT is the right place for me. Now I’m entering my senior year of college, and he actually follows me on twitter haha.

  3. If your get near him he's gonna say "Hi" and "gomeangreen". Potentially the best hire by this university in my lifetime!

  6. I don't think we let him go too soon. I think we let him go at the perfect time. I am not sure he would have ever grown and got better being where he was. I think it took all these things to better him. And, I am still not certain he would be good at the head position.

  8. Would be cool if it weren't Kuehne. Not because the money would be worth more or less, but because it'd be a sign of getting a broader distribution of big-time donors, which would be long-term beneficial for UNT. That is not to say that UNT shouldn't take everything that Mr Kuehne is willing to give and be extremely thankful about it.

  11. I wonder if our recent success helps him. UNT is an emerging name in the G5 schools. Now it seems a little more "in" to mention UNT on his resume. They mention it quite a bit in that article.

  12. I don’t normally play the “what if” game but, boy howdy, I wonder how things would have transpired in Denton if we afforded him the resources he deserved.

  13. That made me think. Could these hats ever become a thing at UNT? Maybe if the brown parts were green, but I digress.

  14. Yeah, UTSA will be more prepared for dealing with losing. That will be really helpful for them this season.

  15. I was a DD fan then. He could coach then and he can coach now. The AD and all the short sighted leadership at the University at that time are just as responsible for the Dickey's failed last season and the miserable seasons that followed. Happy for him wish it would it have worked out for him here. It will be particularly disappointing if he has a part in Texas A&M winning the SEC Championship cause that is the Texas region football fandom I dislike the most.

  16. DD seems to have conquered his personal demons and became an excellent assistant coach. I do think that he ruined his own career at NT and he should have been fired.

  17. DRC: UNT want to compete for championships. It's looking more and more like C-USA's Florida schools will be a key obstacle in the East https://www.dentonrc.com/sports/florida-schools-rise-changes-dynamic-in-c-usa/article_a2e6d41e-d457-5b4a-b5da-bb320b2614be.html

  23. I think as long as we hold onto Chancellor Roe and BOR members of the crop we've had in the last ten years, we may not have to worry about this as much. For as thorough Roe's credentials and expertise are in managing STEM-minded organizations, funding, et al, she is also very well-acquainted with the value of sports to universities. Her son is a Redshirt-JR DT at Virginia Tech, if you recall.

  24. I agree. The softball game against Oklahoma was sold out but was cancelled due to bad weather. I think softball is the most popular or is rapidly becoming the most popular women’s sport.

  26. It's all about the money. I have always said that this program would go nowhere until it found more donors and more season ticket buyers. They have done both to some extent and have increased the student fee. This extra money is proving transformational.

  30. Taking a look at CUSA Tourney attendance, according to the reports, the average session attendance did slightly increase over 2017 (90 per session) but overall attendance dropped significantly (24.1k in '17 vs 16.4k in '18)... http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/Reports/attend/2017.pdf Will be interesting to see how the momentum of the new scheduling format, possible NBA draft interest Chareless Bassey may bring, and (I trust) a North Texas squad poised to make a deep run impacts the second go around at The Star for the tournament. Would be curious to see if any game format or promotional changes are made this time as conference leadership certainly seems to be taking an aggressive approach to improving the attention our conference gets in basketball.

  31. If we're going to go there, how do we forget Brian Waters--2009 NFL Man of the Year? And Craig Robertson has been outstanding in his charity work and always giving a shout-out to the Mean Green. Although, in fairness, Harry did say player representatives--several of these are guys who have represented UNT especially well after their college playing days were over.

  32. Not really. Dickey came to UNT with a run-first philosophy different from his predecessor, and not very successful initially until he recruited the type of players that fit his system. At least since he was at Texas State with Franchione, he's been running a pass-happy spread offense, and I imagine he'll be running that until he retires. Unless the HC tells him otherwise.

  33. Florida schools are eventually going to get it together. Looks like lots of battles with South Florida programs in the coming years. Keep building! Go Mean Green!!!!!

  34. If you ask any media outlet, Kiffin is the only HC in CUSA. The rest of us are all coached on a rotating schedule of what players dad is available that week and can also bring the orange slices.

  35. This Youtube channel has terrific and funny videos about college football. Though they are almost always about SEC teams they are still worth the watch.

  36. Many are on the political correctness bandwagon and will never be satisfied. There has to be a program that will protect the innocent to the extent possible without significantly weakening the USA. A no border solution just will not work in the best interest of any nation in the long term.

  39. Those are the two main things people do when they visit. NWA has a ton of stuff to do outdoors but you probably won't be here long enough for that. For visitors that have kids, there is the Daisy Airgun Museum in Rogers. And the Walmart Museum is also in Downtown Bentonville and has an old school ice cream shop attached to it. Of course there are things like Dave & Buster's and we're getting a Topgolf but those probably aren't anything you won't find in the DFW area already. You can find out a lot more about the area here: https://issuu.com/rlacc/docs/2018goodlife_web Cowboys fans may find it cool to check out our Student Athlete Success Center that's only a few years old (below) and we have a lot of historical stuff that talks about Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson from when they played here. Also you'll only be the second game since we've renovated the new north endzone and you'll be able to walk around and watch the game from the patio style concourse if you want to. Before, you couldn't go around the stadium 360 degrees from the inside and it was a bit of a pain in the ass.
