Helen Bailey. If any of you know of her, you'll know how diligent her dedication is to getting things done to get this campus on track. If you see the smaller lady with beach-colored hair at the ribbon cutting. Thank her.

Also, that county judge that paid for half of it.

I believe "that county judge" would be Mary Horn! Yes, thank her.

Which beach, Galveston or Gulf Shores?

This is a tremendous accomplishment, especially on the heels of a new stadium, the basketball practice facility. It shows UNT is dedicated to succeeding in athletics.

And understanding that this has occurred over the past 10 - 12 years..........and very little dedication prior to that time..........might we all say in unison "about damned time"!!!

It does make an old feller happy..............and proud.

First jumper from bridge just reported. Evidently it was some young kid that had once tried to walk on with the football program, but was kicked out of the program for being a douche. His girlfriend cheated on him. He transferred to another school because they were going to have college gameday there, but eventually realized what a huge mistake he had made, so he came back to UNT and ended it all.

RIP Cougar King

LOL!

I know you jest about C.K, but I don't see any place on that bridge that anyone could contort their bodies to make any kind of jump onto I-35E............just sayin'.

GMG!

Little fun fact about the bridge. It takes 2:57 to walk from fouts parking lot to the hill.
