FAcebook is very bad feed

I had the same problem initially; I am guessing you have the wrong unofficial feed where they want you to use their random off FB link.

Instead, search "UNT Houston" (with out the " " and nothing else and a link with about 4k watching should show up that works great for me.

the others did not.

[Giant TV watch party on the downtown Denton square. Saturday, September 7.]

Anyone know which sections at SMU are the UNT designated sections?.... and don’t just say all of them 😂.

[Lane train has derailed...]

I don’t know 🤷‍♂️. Just turned on the game .. FAU moved the ball 80 yards for a score pretty quickly l. Of course they are down a bunch and maybe playing against back ups but looked decent on that drive.... only drive I have seen so far.

Tried that....but the cockroaches took a hit from a .45 and kept going. Went to the Hilton Garden instead. Thanks for the advice.

Also Royal Inn was torn down several years ago so would make for opening air accommodations now but great location otherwise 🤷‍♂️😎

[Another NFL Draft]

“Drafted=more money+making the team. (?). Just a guess”

 

Not necessarily on either one.

[Super Pit thoughts]

Unfortunately, budgeting and associated regulations and laws for a state university is not that simple. 

[Interesting Comment During the Broadcast]

Yes, QS is working on his SECOND masters degree!!!

[So what would happen.....if UConn dropped football?]

Considering what they have invested in facilities.... including a $50mil indoor training facility and a likely even more expensive new stadium (granted both about 15 years old now) I doubt that will happen. Also remember about 12 years ago they where highly ranked, top 25, in at least one season. Sure recently they have been pretty bad, yet they still have players drafted regularly etc.

Alamo baby!!  😎

Side note, it is generally not a good sign when your safety leads the team in tackles but maybe that is different for the new fashioned 3-3-5 scheme.

[Needing tickets for tomorrow]

Last minute changes has allowed me to go afterall,

Anyone know where can I get two tickets at this point? 

[The Wheeler hit was not intentional]

Hernandez?

Pretty sure he played college ball in State of FL. But too lazy to look it up. If only I had internet.

[Parking]

Just spoke with someone in the parking office. He said they are now enforcing parking permit on the weekends as well. This is new this year but makes little sense other than to squeeze a few more cents out of people visiting campus. I am mainly think on none-game days here when visitors or other functions are held at UNT such as events for kids etc.

It will likely just lead to those events no longer being held  on campus and thus a loose of revenue and expose of UNT to parents and potential students.

 

[Parking]

I don't believe this is true. The parking regulation policy does not seem to state exactly which days permits are enforced, other than when UNT is open, but it does state in one place 

• "These spaces are enforced from 7:00am to 10:00pm, Monday – Friday. "

• You can always check the signs at each lot but it should be free on weekends, other than Fouts.

edit, I found this picture, it is not clear if this includes the weekends!

[Scrimmage Saturday?]

Since it is weekend, and also not a game day, there should be plenty of free parking. Almost all places to park on the UNT campus is free/ require no permit on the weekends.

[Q&A: Smatresk hits on a few key points on a big year]

I am pretty sure they did not dump $500 million into anything. That is over half the annual budget for UNT. The real number is around $5 million which is nice but not enough for tier 1.

[Spring Game Gear Pricing]

What time does the sale start?

[Former offensive lineman Walker forced to choose between football and career path]

Just wondering, do you expect the school of journalism to plan their classes around when one football play can make them? What about basketball players or track athletes that often travel on Thursday and Friday. Should their department not offer classes on those days.

I agree with accommodations but it should be the coaches letting him go to class whenever it is offered. He is supposed to be a Student-athlete not the other way around. This is a recurring issue, especially with grad students who's classes often begin at 5pm, so during normal practice time.

[MGB: UNT opens spring tomorrow, sked, policy for attending]

Well unless the pratices are at Apogee, it should not be to hard to follow the practices from beyond the fence for those who might want to. You might actually get a getter view from the slight elevation in front of the dorm.

But I agree, since he said practices would be open they should be. 

[UAB's curse now looks like a blessing]

No technically it is a tendon tear. Tendons and ligaments are similar structurally but not the same.

And I am guessing he meant ACL or MCL tear, specifically, which is more common in RBs. Not sure which is worse thought.

[Anyone want to take a flyer on Randy Edsall?]

Yes, but likely well out of our price range.

He made UCONN into a ranked team within 5-7 years of joining DI-A, and as soon as he left there UCONN went to terrible. He had many drafted players including at least 1 first rounder (Brown, did not do to well in the NFL though). Also, obviously, football is far from the most popular sport at UCONN.  Of course the resources there were different, they spend about the same amount (~$55 mil) as we did on our stadium to build the Football only full field (120yd) size indoor training facility.

[North Texas Keeps Growing...]

There is large brand new garage near those dorms already. No one uses it, so no need for more garages, they are very expensive and students will not pay what they cost to build to park in them. Also there is ample parking behind the Apogee stadium, except for game days. Problem is, everyone expects parking right by the building they need to go to. Move all parking to the outside of campus and use the space in the middle of campus for the badly needed additional buildings.
