Plenty of good Mexican food in Denton. You'll probably find partisans of every Mexican place in Denton on this board. I like Mazatlan, out on East University . . . it's kind of a hole in the wall, but the food is good. If you can make it out to Ponder (about 10 miles W of Denton), you will find maybe the best steakhouse in the country.

There's not much close to the Super Pit, though.

Thanks guys that helps. We are headed out in the morning to race go karts at pole position and then travel on into the game. we will repeat process on the way out of town on Sunday.

Coming and going, you'll be going right past Trail Dust steakhouse on 380, just east of Denton. . . . It's been years since I've eaten there, but they're good. A notch below Ponder Steakhouse . . . but then again, everyone is. Also, Prairie House is about a half mile west of there . . . Again, a place I haven't eaten at in a long time, not since they moved. . . . But they always had pretty good standard eatin's (chicken fried steak, etc.).

Those are a couple of places out of town, but worth considering if you'll be hitting them about chow time.

When you take north texas boulevard to the pit, take a right at the ihop, there is a strip center at the end of this street, 2 short blocks. There are several places to eat that are not "standard" places. There is aplace that specializes in burritos, hooyah. Panchos mexican buffet is on the right end. I think it is pretty good, mexican is hard to screw up, subway and a chicken place also.There is a chinese place also, another across the street. None of these are "fern bar" types. You aren't paying for atmosphere and you don't get it. Enjoy. Hope you make it in time for the women's game. A ticket to the men's game gets you in both. The pit seats 10,000, there will be about 800 - 1000 for the women's game, maybe 3500 at men's. Sit anywhere. You might have to move if a season ticket holder comes in, but you can usually move a few seats away with no problem. Sections 106, 107, 108, 109 have some seats in the first 3-4 rows if you want close. 107 is mid court

What steakhouse do you speak of? I live in Frisco and will travel anywhere for such a steak claim...

:lol:

I assume you're joking. :unsure: Then again, I've heard of folks wearing a cheap tie there so they can get a free something or other.

Of course I'm joking! Until Mean Green 93-98 posted, I hadn't thought about the place in almost 25 years, and that's the first thing that came to mind.

      New President Named ...

      I'm taking a (big) "wait and see approach" to this hire. I remember the L. Jackson and Helwig (AD) eras. Both had Austin ties and tried to make us UT "light" or flat out hold us back.

      New President Named ...

      Gretchen Bataille was disastrous, and V. Lane Rawlins came to the rescue (having previously been president of Washington State and Memphis) and got us back on track, but he said from the beginning he would not stick around very long. Smatresk had been President of UNLV for 4 years and had previously served as an administrator at UTA. I thought from the beginning Smatresk was a steal. Smatresk proved himself to be effective and is stepping down at just the right time. I think we need the expertise that Keller brings to the position and I am optimistic that he will prove to be a great hire.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      They were once at the top of the list. You could also apply this to educational facilities, as being not as important. Cost of tuition and NIL payments is more important and is proven by the lack of funds raised for our new AD building. NIL contribution will become even more important once it is tax deductible.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      Facilities do matter. All the glitz of a payday will eventually wear off, as NIL donations will fade and most players won't get a huge payday. There are thousands of football players out there that mostly want opportunity to play at the college level. The higher the level the better, and we are a pretty high level on the food chain even though it doesn't feel like it. The great equalizer is still a scholarship and playing time. Each FBS still has a limit of 85 scholarships and only 22 starters. You won't get many wanting to go to Houston as a walk on, and pay their on way, to sit on a bench 3 years to maybe get a scholarship and play as a senior.

      I’m using the communal “we” in our folks rationalizing a very underwhelming, under-qualified hire at the time. I didn’t like that hire either and he was more disappointing than I’d even originally thought by the end of his tenure having focused all his energy on the useless UNT Dallas project - something I still loathe. This new guy may be great. Just cautioning those expecting stroke in Austin. I’ll believe that when I see it. Would be great for UNT though.
