    Yes. Outside of the Jazz Festival its the biggest event Denton has. Part of the Square is blocked off to traffic. Logistically and financially it doesn't make sense to have the events on the same day. 

    I know some really want the homecoming parade to return. Well, its not going to happen if they keep scheduling Homecoming the same weekend as Day of the Dead. 

    Bigger than the Redbud Festival?  Bigger than the Storytelling Festival?  When did Denton start this?

    I give, why is this humiliating?

    NT apparently didn't believe he was good enough to play here and released him to go elsewhere.  He signed with Central Arkansas, not exactly a powerhouse. 

    This matter has been cleared up, if you read the posts that came in the days after I posted this.  The reason it would have been humiliating is if Taylor chose UCA over UNT because he saw it as a better opportunity.  If UCA is not exactly a powerhouse, that would make UNT something even worse.

    And again, if you read the insider's post above, Taylor's release had nothing to do with an inability to play here.  There's a good chance would have started here from day one.

    Layne's grandmother is bravely battling cancer and his decision was based on staying closer to her and the rest of the family as they support her during this difficult time.

    UNT did the right thing for this young man by letting him out of his signed NLI.

    Thank you.  I hate to lose him--he is a far cry from a "developmental high school recruit"--but I understand things a whole lot better now.

    On him and then bolted. Amass mistakes and bolt, the typical athletic administrators gold plan. Yet, they keep getting rehired. 

    I'm trying to think--prior to Wren, who is the last person to go straight from the A.D. position at NT to another A.D. position at an FBS school?

    Lawyers going to take fans to court? The schools and/or the NCAA do not pay NIL bills. 

    Yep.  The NCAA (rightfully, in this case) fought against NIL tooth and nail, and were forced by politicians to allow it.

  6. Of course he's eligible.  As far as I know, anyone who has ever played for North Texas is eligible.  The question is, do they have the resume?  The fact that Rewbuhn is transferring is a minor strike against him, but I don't see him having a HOF-worthy resume regardless of transferring.

    A six vehicle car crash on Saturday in Dallas, Texas has lead to a police search for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, according to the Dallas Morning News. . . .

    . . . someone in a Chevrolet Corvette and someone in a Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane, when both drivers lost control. The Lamborghini went onto the shoulder and "hit the center median wall, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles. . . .

    The individuals in both the Lamborghini and Corvette fled from the scene of the crash, not stopping to provide information or check on the status of the others involved, according to the report.

    Rice grew up in Texas, in the Fort Worth area and went to college in Dallas at SMU. He was drafted by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

    Note: Bear Bryant didn’t make my list because I didn’t want two Alabama coaches, though he’s unquestionably worthy.                                         

    That's pretty weak reasoning.  I'm not an Alabama fan, but Bear Bryant and Nick Saban are both no-brainers for the Mt. Rushmore of college football coaches.  After that, it's tough.  You have your others topping all-time winningest, like Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden.  You have your undeniable legends like Knute Rockne, Bo Schembechler, and Tom Osborne.  Like the argument for Bill Snyder above, you have others who did more with less, like Hayden Fry and Frank Beamer.

    The pick for Pete Carroll above is interesting.  USC while he was HC was about as dominant a program as I've seen in my lifetime, along with Nebraska with Tom Osborne and Bama with Saban.  But his college coaching career was just too short to think about putting on the "Mt. Rushmore."  And Dabo Swinney is crazy.  Yes, he's been one of the top 2 or 3 coaches over the past 10 years, but of all time?  Hardly.

    So, you're saying that if somebody offered you a quarter million dollars to cheer for Oklahoma this year instead of North Texas that you would turn it down? If you, a dedicated supporter can be bought, then how can you expect a player to not take advantage of that offer.

    How much NIL would he have made if he would have stayed at NT another year?  I'm sure it wouldn't have been a quarter million dollars, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been nothing, either.
