  9. Ok, forget the North Texas chant stuff

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted · Edited by Stix

    I know some will shoot me down but the North..........Texas, North........Texas. Really beats me down. Too boring, no payoff or hook. I wish therebwas some way to modify it for a payoff ending that includes both sides. It needs an ending. As it is now it just goes on and on until it dies a beaten death.

    Maybe add MEAN GREEN, and just do it once, then wait a minute (or a couple of minutes) before doing it again?

    NORTH...............TEXAS

    MEAN................GREEN

    And maybe the cheerleaders could alternate which side of the stadium starts.

    At times Crossroads had some good bands there. every town needs a place to go listen to local bands.

    anyone old enough to remember The Library?

    I'm old enough to remember Benny's (jazz club named for Benny Goodman), before The Library.

    Here's my question for folks...and I am not looking for a fight here, just opinions of people who actually ate at the Tomato...like I did while a student at UNT...

    Here goes...was the pizza really THAT good or was it the whole package including location, atmosphere, friendly management and decent to good pizza with hours of operation convenient for students, and prices that "fit" in most student budgets?

    I liked the pizza and ate there from time to time, but usually because a group of friends was there or I was "in the mood" for pizza and on campus. I never found it to be such that it would obtain this "cult status" if it were up to the product alone. Now that it is in Sanger I have not felt the urge to go that far out of my way to give it a try. I probably would if it were in Denton because the ownership was great and it was local.

    So, just thinking about what some others felt about the greatness that was the Tomato.

    The Tomato opened in the early '80s, actually as "The Flying Tomato", a franchisee of a chain. The chain didn't survive, but the Denton location did. There were two things that made it successful:

    - The location, and the unique loft 2nd level, made it a great student hangout. Just before it was the Tomato, the building was a Rock & Roll club named Crossroads, and I didn't know anyone who actually went there. It was completely brick, with no windows. The Tomato renovation was incredible, and immediately drew in a crowd.

    - The Tomato was the only place in Texas to get a Giordano's-style (Chicago) stuffed pizza. NOT deep dish - stuffed. Especially a spinach & mushroom stuffed pizza. A High School friend of mine went to Northwestern (Evanston IL, just north of Chicago), and I had experienced Giordano's when visiting him in 1980. While the Tomato undoubtedly wasn't nearly as good, there was no other place to get a stuffed pizza. I went back at least once every football season until it burned down, even though the service really was awful at the end.

    So the question is, is there enough demand in Sanger for stuffed pizza for the Tomato to be successful there? Because there's no way that they'll draw the students to Sanger.

    That would explain why they have been there for 20 years....For unbiased opinions look online, they get 4+ stars for every food review site there is.

    Weren't Mazatlan and Guadalajara owned by the same person(s)? I haven't been east of TWU on 380 since I moved from Denton, so when I saw that Guadalajara was gone (Ft. Worth Dr.), I assumed that Mazatlan was gone as well.

    It all boils down to leadership. Between C. Dan Smith, Lane Rawlins, Rick Villareal, and Dan McCarney we are in good hands, and we have a bunch of guys who will roll their sleeves up and go to work; not just sit around and talk about an idea or theory like a group of politicians.

    Hmmm... You didn't mention Lee Jackson. Oversight? I think not.

    Please let me know if any of the homes backing up to the Athletic Center and Stadium become For Sale. I drive by often looking for a house to purchase! Couldn't find a better place! Rick 214.724.5670

    OK, a quick "show of hands" - how many of us have driven on Tremont Circle and wished we could buy one of those houses?

    :thumbsu:

    I'd need to get a job in the area first... :unsure:

    on my best throw I once hit a player from about halfway up the first bowl of the student section... my friend hit a cheerleader once... most people around us couldnt even get the damn things onto the track

    Flour or corn?

    The more important question might be: Fresh or Stale?
