John Williams and Joe Holland are the best marketers UNT athletics have.  Neither is employed by the university.

Whenever I need extra tickets, I buy them from John because he's a more reliable source than the ticket office.  I have no idea where he gets them.  I have now idea how he gets them.  I don't even care about price anymore.  I know I tried repeatedly to get a ticket for SMU from the "proper" channels, but all I could get was a solicitation for an overpriced tailgate.  Tickets?  We're the ticket office!  We can't get you no stinkin' tickets!  Here, let me transfer you into oblivion! So I call John, ask if he's got any SMU tickets, BOOM, it's waiting for me at east side, with a bus in the parking lot, filled with giant coolers of Audacity.  

How it is that they haven't built a statue of him in front of Apogee yet is beyond me.  OK, maybe that's a little much, but I've never even seen the department give him the slightest of nods in one of those hush hush hors d'oeuvres cash bar give the governor a harumph meetings held periodically in the club during the off season.  Nobody is personally responsible for putting more physical butts in the seats of Apogee than he is.  Bar none (heh.  bar pun semi-intended).

As for Joe, well, the banner over Ford Field speaks for itself.  But furthermore, have you ever walked into a bar or restaurant and seen a big ass poster displaying UNT and its current schedule?  Chances are, Joe got a bunch of people together in Denton on a weekend, doled out a bunch of posters, and those people drove through their respective area hanging signs in whatever establishments would allow it. 

John Williams, Joe Holland -- the grass roots heroes this program needs.

Oops.  I must've been thinking of the Joe Holland building on Carroll street or something.
