Yes. As for seat locations, you'll get seats based on point status. If you are active season ticket holder, donor, etc., the seats are typically going to be pretty good. Biggest reason to go through UNT - direct financial reward to the university for tickets sold. I have that straight from the horse's mouth.

If you are going through the UNT website and using that link, then it would seem that UNT is getting credit. Not the same as just searching HOD and getting tickets straight from the site without going through the school link.

I am fairly certain UNT will make a deal for student prices, so I'm not worried there. As for everyone else, every dollar that goes through the UNT ticket office is important. Buying from 3rd party sites doesn't help the university in any way. That is what I wanted to emphasize.

Buying through UNT is important. We benefit directly from those purchases.

TEXAS!

Only one building is literally crumbling that I am aware of. It is not the Biology Building (actually now part of the Life Sciences Complex and the building that I work in). The one that is in bad shape is the Science Research Building. Poor construction when it was built has now led to a situation where the brick walls are detaching from the structure. All indications are that it would likely cost more to repair it than to replace it.

Has anyone had a chance to talk to the Ticket Office about the amount being charged issue?

I think it is highly likely we play in Dallas if we aren't in Memphis. It makes too much sense in too many ways. Bowls want big crowds and the revenue, so they'll pick the team most likely to bring the fans. For HOD, that is us.

The UNT Bowl Game Information page now has an active link to the Ticket Master link for reserving tickets: http://www.meangreensports.com/bowlinfo.html The ticket link is at the beginning of the 3rd paragraph. Just a note: It directly helps UNT to buy your tickets through the school. Please use the UNT links to buy your bowl tickets.

Just plug it into one of the windmills.

Hmmm - I already see the wheels turning in RV's head: 11 players = N-O-R-T-H-space-T-E-X-A-S He could go with a REALLY big font, as long as the coach will set up the right formations.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels "pleaded" sounds wrong. That always bugs me (and know you all know that I spend way too much time worrying about trivial things).

That comment about us made the Weather Channel (yes - I was actually watching it for a short time), but of course the reporter had to stumble over his words and call us "North Texas State" once. I'll blame the wind and rain and forgive him this one time.

The statement I received following my donation shows that I can only write off $400 of the $500 MGC membership, which would equate the benefits as a value of $100. The rest is considered a charitable donation by the IRS.

Just received mine as well!

I have known Mike since graduate school. I didn't see him much in recent years, but when I did it was always at either a football or basketball game. He was a great guy and Mean Green fan. He will be missed.

Where there is smoke, there has to be fire. I cannot believe that the BOR made this move in a specially called meeting if there wasn't a good reason to do so.

Anyone interested might want to look at the State Open Meetings site for an April 25 at 5pm UNT Board of Regent's meeting agenda.
