    Not really sure what the University is supposed to do when:

    1. The State is telling us we need to jam another 10,000 students onto the campus ASAP, and
    2. they are not willing to allocate us funds to buy up land around campus, and 
    3. they are trying to discourage use of eminent domain.

    We're already 12,000 students larger than we where in the mid  90s, and the state still wants us to add 10,000 more, hopefully 15,000 more.  But since that time we have only really added the Liberty Christian property and the TI property.  

    The TI property is nice, but the existing building are already packed and we need money to build new ones.  Not to mention its a 15-20 minute bus ride away that no student wants to take. 

    As far as parking goes, without the ability to buy land around the university and pave it over into lots, not a lot the school can do.  There is still plenty of parking out at the old TI plant but students don't want to park out there and they take that bus ride to and from campus, and I can't blame them.  

    Besides, I thought Millennials were anti-car anyway.  I though all "you guys" preferred Uber and bikes and...stuff.

  2. Everything I'm reading on this looks like a fantastic deal for UNT and a homerun for Smatresk.  

    wow.  How the heck did we pull this off??

    One would have thunk - that other schools in Texas would have thrown much dinero at this project to get the deal.  However, it would look odd to have say A&M or UT as the sponsor because the Cowboys need something local I'd guess. Local partner makes more sense. Small privates don't have that populist appeal either.

    Did you not get your GMG.com back patch when Harry sent out the welcome kit to you?  You're supposed to put it on the GMG letter jacket we got the year before he sent patches out.

    Shoot him an IM.

    Whoa, slow down there bro.  He needs to pass his initiation and written exam first.  Let's not put the cart before the horse, mkay??

    Looks like our social experiment is not going to pass muster with the ABA. Looks like it is time to tighten up and go toward the mainstream. Frankly, this is embarrassing.

    Embarrassing was the first thing I thought as well.  You don't take on a project at this level without knowing behind the scenes that it has a VERY good chance of happening.  This is on Jackson as far as I'm concerned.  They should have waited until they had more money in the bag from donations IMO

    Hahaha, Adobe Spark. Well, that's one half-step forward I guess.

    Now someone pony up the $10 to get a real domain name for the thing.

    Brah... In this scene, up until recently we're like Martin Short's character when it comes to what we're used to getting out of the AD's web dev team.

    I think a brand new AD will have 30 minutes to spare after hours to call into a podcast for the most ardent supporters of his program.

    I do agree with you but I won't care two sh*ts if he never calls in as long as the positive results are there. I'd say I won't even care ONE sh*t.
