  1. Happy Birthday Jack! I hope you have great day! Rick
  2. Yes, and Memorial Stadium honors their 179 who died in WWII. And here is the unveiling of a statue honoring Maj. Gen. Rudder and the naming of Rudder Way. https://youtu.be/Z1mwUoOXLE4 Rick
  3. I don’t know, it may just be me? But imo any school that has recently invested funding to renovate their stadium, which they have sold out nearly every game recently, every fall attempts to surpass its sister school by building this big of a bonfire every year, and who went out and acquired its own 3-inch M1902 Field Gun with matching caisson…. probably brings a good crowd to Denton and will be looking to steal our lunch money. This isn’t my grandmother’s Tarleton State University anymore. Maybe Phil and Jeff would like to join the rest of us in the 21st century? I hear it has a great, new groove. Rick
  4. Team errors were my concern as well and part of why we finished third. In 6 crucial losses to WKY, UAB and Charlotte we committed 9 errors. Rick
  5. Folks, DFD Station #3 on McCormick Street near campus has been referred to as “THE NUT HOUSE” and has had a squirrel on their T shirts and logos since I was in high school 38 years ago,…..long before the University of Texas created the Albino Squirrel Society, and way before some of our uneducated leadership of the past chose to start copying them with their own ASS association. The squirrel in that sticker on the truck is white simply because the background of the sticker is white and it’s cheaper to have the fewest colors when ordering graphic logos. If you haven’t seen the truck yet you should go by and see it. Coolest thing I’ve see since the Model A got restored. Rick
  6. I don’t recall the City of Denton ever making such a single vibrant commitment to support North Texas more than this. And hats off to Ryan Peck and all involved for nailing the color spot on. Absolutely bad ass! Rick
  7. Very sad to hear of Rick’s passing. We had some great times over the years. He was one of the kindest-hearted dudes you’d ever meet and he loved the Mean Green. I am going to miss him very much. Prayers for him and family. Rick
  8. They don’t play golf at night, and does anyone remember the great Hank call after we won the CBI Championship on FRIDAY March 30th, 2018 in front of 6,000 fans?? ”Its not just GOOD Friday,…it’s GREAT Friday”. Rick
  9. If there’s no players left to celebrate now,…there won’t be any later. It needs to be done now. We beat Ok State in Stillwater 13 days ago. How were there no preliminary plans to do SOMETHING for this team should the inevitable occur two weeks later? Still, I’m having a hard time believing they all packed up their apartments and skipped town the past 48 hours, especially when two of them were at one of the softball games this weekend. Since Hodge is having to assemble a staff then I hope he’s been in Houston where every person with a pulse that’s interested in a college basketball job has been the past 3 to 4 days or more. But we know how these things are done. He’ll have known most of the guys he’s bringing in and won’t need in person conversation to bring them in. But if he can be here at 12 noon he can be here at a later time on a day where the most fans can attend. Either way It’s all excuses to me and like most of you I can sit here and counter every one of them because we’ve all been around long enough to know how things are done here. Regardless the excuse,…if the logistics are soooooooo difficult to work out giving what this accomplishment deserves by getting coaches, players and the most fans under roof at the same time then at least don’t send out a mailer to fans inviting them to “CELEBRATE” a press conference.

  10. Excellent news. I hope he continues demanding an emphasis on playing SUFFOCATING, LOCK-DOWN, DISCIPLINED, HARD NOSED defense. Toughest Team Wins! Rick
  11. It’s amazing what an emphasis on playing SUFFOCATING, LOCK-DOWN, DISCIPLINED, HARD NOSED defense can do for your basketball program. Rick
