For real, tho.

I feel like we can match well to his arm. It’s his feet that are cause to worry.

It's like our very own Ark.

Hi ya'll - Some big news in Green Brigade world. Dr. Nicholas Williams has accepted the incredibly prestigious position as Conductor of Wind Ensembles at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music in Australia. I am super thankful for the generous spirit Dr. Williams always afforded me and his continued passion for athletics' success as a multiple degree-earned alumnus. Today, his successor was announced. From College of Music Dean John Richmond: --- Welcome Daniel Cook!

Section 106, here we come!

We are legion.

Plugged in would be an understatement: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/4/10/5594348/college-football-bag-man-interview

Ya'll should listen to Connelly and Godfrey's take on us in podcast-form, then: https://megaphone.link/VMP7250503798 We take up a mix of things but feature prominently in the first thirty minutes of their most recent episode.

HOLLLLLYYY FUUUUUUUUU

A bit of the same. However - this is the first time in a long time that I think the positive effect of our new admin and coaching salaries really shows. It was impressive last year that the entire group held firm and carried into year three. This time around, our first real brush with the "successful G5 paradigm", we can honestly say we may have maintained the quality or upgraded at each position hire. Additionally, it shows that Coach Littrell is not afraid to change up the formula a bit that got him here, evolving with the times and bringing on a slightly different offensive scheme in Reeder/Mayes. The only thing that is truly concerning to me is the line play (always). Coaches Yellock and Langston are now at the point to show whether their development of their first couple recruiting classes will actually play out well, or were the glaring issues we all (and especially Mason) suffered institutionalized. Can't wait to find out, though.

:gasp:

Capital Projects Council - they're a body of Presidential Cabinet members, Facilities planning staff, and the like led by VP for Finance Bob Brown.

Original intent six years ago, yes. But Smatresk publicly has called for and won deviations from the plan since then (its formulation preceded his tenure). Any plans for the Carriage Square lot that UNT has will not come to fruition, as they/we ceded the opportunity and CPC folks are very quick to remind anyone they can that they’re not party to that property. However, the earasing of Carriage Square likely changed the calculus for the west side of the street. It is my strong bet that CPC and the board decided to make moves while the band aid was already ripped off across the street.

False.

Indubitably.

Easy - sounds like you just need to keep buying vehicles for the continued stream of license plate covers.

Not really, no.

Not unexpected. Wait, to Tech, though? Not USC??

Naw, but she did give me a weird look. That counts, right?

If you look more thoroughly through the 2013 MP, though, it called for the acquisitions around south Ave C to be primarily joint public-private partnerships. Or, where possible, UNT become the landlords and maintain the current businesses while continuously making facade and landscaping improvements. The aim was to maintain the appropriate college and neighborhood retail and services, but make it more an extension of campus, a gateway into the core academic sectors. I'm betting the razing of Carriage Square reset the plans here. The thinking now may be "rip the bandaid off now". Oh bud, you didn't hear? [ I'll update with a photo here shortly. ]

If you listen to his reasoning on PAPN, he explains that he's updated S&P+ to factor more in your conference quality into the equation. This of course has re-organized the G5s and they have been lowered. I get his reasoning, but frustrating nonetheless. https://www.sbnation.com/college-football-rankings-podcast-papn

If you were there last night you likely saw the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra hanging out at the bar after their sold out Murchison performance as well. Fun week in Denton. Heading to the Super Pit in an hour!
