    I’ll for sure be there. Does anyone know what all is planned for tomorrow for the game? Also, is anyone planning on tailgating before the game?

    They are doing something like a 5K before the game. Along with a garage sale having a lot of items that fans are sure to want. Come early because it’s not going to be a typical game, and I believe it should only be about 2 hours long. Hope some people make it over to soccers game vs Baylor or the softball games!

    Their coach seems like a good guy.  I am surprised he knows nothing about UNT or maybe he does?????????  The UNT Jacksonville game was not streamed?

    I would assume he was coaching/studying with his guys for Campbell since they had a game on Monday night as well since they had to beat Campbell to worry about UNT or JVST

    Doesn't help that the PA sound is awful the lower you get in the stands. It seriously is a spot on impersonation of the teacher from Peanuts. 

    Then email it to the facilities people and WB.. or even bring it up to WB as he is walking around.. 

    nothing will be done till people say something

    How bout nUTSAck tomorrow?

    Yes.. as much as people hate UTSA we have to pull for them.. 

    1- More exposure for CUSA, and UTSA.

    2- ideally a slightly larger payout from the tournament or just hosting games.

    3- Would be great exposure next year to have a conference with 3 championships or runner ups. It will help the entire conference down the line.

    How when gets home court for the best of 3?

    Would assume it’s announced during the game tonite, but I would  assume attendance likely has some influence on who gets home court. Let’s hope our home game attendance is better than whoever is paying since CBI gets the revenue.

    I still don't really think we need a brand new basketball arena and the money would be better served elsewhere.  But, hell if they wanna build a new one, that's cool.  

    That’s the plan, someone had posted the master plan and the 1st phase was things like the IPF, Soccer/Track, and AD office improvements. 

    Phases 2 had a baseball stadium (on the south side of the Dorm, and northeast of the tennis complex), and I believe expanded parking in the grass field across from Apogee. 

    Phase 3 has the new Superpit that also would be home to the summer/dive teams instead of the Rec center and PEB.

    I'd rather see several other projects completed before a new b-ball arena though.   Tennis still needs a Center court, upgrades at ALL facilities on the old Liberty campus.  Upgrades to the Athletics Center (especially the weightroom & lockerroom).   Heck, I'd rather see baseball started up before a new b-ball arena.

    All those things are in works, I’ll look for the link to the master plan (I believe it was posted by Harry or another mod) but the a new SuperPit is way down the line with some/most of these being addressed

    I've been in several (newer and/or updated) college basketball arenas that I wouldn't say are significantly better than the Super Pit.  

    The issue isn’t that Superpit is breaking down.. it’s needs a lot of updates and that is costly. Improving the ADA standards is the biggest issue.. the Superpit is grandfathered in, but as things keep updating, the requirements for those grandfathered items are changing. 

    They also want to put in luxury boxes I believe has been brought up in the past by someone. Also, if they were to do a new Superpit, they could attract multiple other shows events. Currently they are doing dance and cheer. But again I believe on the master plan, the New Superpit I’m in phase 3, behind baseball (in phase2)

    Greeks had meetings Monday night and my daughter got fined 25 bucks for missing her sorority meeting and supporting UNT with her old man! I emailed NS and WB about it. The Pres said he will look into it. I appreciate his immediate response. Go Mean Green!

    Email them telling them to do another Greek night! They did one during the season and it had a pretty solid turn out for a double header!

    Would really like to get rid of the press box SECTION at center court. Do they have press box sections anymore? Terrible waste of space!

    See you Wednesday! GMG

    Not a terrible waste at all since there are still plenty of open sits on the sides, behind and across the court. I also see those seats filled far more than other sections.

    Has anyone ever heard if there has been any interest in Apogee hosting a bowl game in the past or possibly one day in the future?

    I would love for them to talk to Winstar and have Winstar sponsor the FCS championship. Plenty close to Winstar and very easy to get to denton usually.

    We should try to get the FCS championship game from Frisco. More seats without being to big, a true football stadium, club seating, etc. We just need to take down Fouts and get more parking.

    What they need to do is on that master plan.. they have planned parking right across the street from Apogee.. they need to get more people on the Apogee side of the stadium!

    Lawson has had a hand that needed surgery since October, next year it will be fun with him healthy.

    Honest question with how Duffey and them are playing.. does he stay? We had heard rumors he thought about potentially leaving before GMac got here

  12. Would really like to see the assistant budgets grow. I get paying the likes of SL, WB because they find these people but we need to be having people potentially stick and not be using UNT as a resume booster. 

    I would love to see the salaries somewhat compare with someone like Tech that it’s not people leaving for money and then a better conference but they are leaving because it’s a better conference and the pay is equal or near equal.

    This could get really expensive over time.  

    I believe this is one of th reasons for the flag being left up.. that and with the UNT sports season slowing down, it one of those see how long they can make due till it’s becomes a major deal then do something about.. if it were football season I’m sure it would be switched out. 

    Also, with the recently flood of activities happening it has likely been low on the list. UNT basically hosted/did most if not all of the CUSA Tournament at the Star, with Softball/Tennis starting back up, getting ready for spring football and the soccer practices, ontop of now planning the CBI games..
