Who Knew???? Way to go UNT squad. Good things are happening for the UNT Bass fishing Squad! Are there plans underway to build a UNT Bass Fishing lake/arena/stadium????? Maybe at the pond of the old Golf Course???? What do you say? UNT could be the first with a "green tech" home fishing stadium!!!! GO MEAN GREEN! Is this a co-ed event? If not we better watch out for Title IX compliance issues when it becomes an NCAA sanctioned team sport! YOU GO UNT fishing team!!!!

Rumor has it that we will add Bass Fishing before baseball! Don't tell anyone...it's a secret!
