[Harry]

We have done these in the past and its a good way to get to know people here on the board better as well as acquaint our regulars with the new folk.

Where do you live/family: NW Dallas; married, 2-kids

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: 1990 BBA Marketing Mgmt

Favorite NT Memory: Playing Cyberball in between classes at Union; walking the stage at graduation

[meangreener]

Where do you live/family: Denton, Engaged, Family is from Houston, they live in New York now

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: BFA English, Fall 2013 graduation, going to continue at UNT for graduate school

Favorite NT Memory: Probably will be graduating, but being a student ambassador and really getting to share my love of UNT with new/potential students, or trying to traverse to Kerr during the snowpocalypse and being confused (I'm from Houston), the terrible Clark Hall, maybe...my RA getting kicked out freshman year for getting drunk on his 21st and banging on all the doors of his wing "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY GUYS!" at 1 am.

Where do you live/family: Los Angeles, CA/Live with my brother who also moved to LA to chase the entertainment industry

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: BA in RTVF/2001 graduate

Favorite NT Memory: Probably building Bonfire in Talons

Favorite NT Sports Memory: Is this something that I was in attendance for? If so, probably the football win over Utah State in 1997 when there were like five lead changes in the last two and half minutes. That was a crazy game. If it's just my favorite NT sports memory, from TV or whatever - either the 2007 or the 2010 Sunbelt conference title. Probably go with the 2010 game, because that one came right down to the end with the Odufuwa block to preserve the win with just a few seconds to go.

EDIT: In person memory actually would have to be the Tech win a couple of season ago in basketball. That was insane....glad I flew back for it.

Favorite NT Memory: Walking in the rain down past Willis Library all the way to the Fouts Parking Lot after I finished my last class, realizing I was done and was about to earn the first and only college diploma in my entire family

Favorite NT Sports Memory: 2002 New Orleans Bowl win over Cincinnati for sure. I would also put the basketball victory over Texas Tech at the Super Pit a few years ago, just because it was in OT and over a team that brought out a big crowd to the SUper Pit.

Least Favorite Sports Memory at NT: watching LaDarrin McLane streak toward the end zone for a game-winning TD at Tech, only to see him get caught from behind and fumble away the win. Also, there was a football game at home against Nicholls State in November of 1993 that literally drew about 200 people, not including the band. We won that game 31-3, IIRC, but it felt like I was at a six-man game.

Degree/Year: BA RTF '81 (I crammed 4 years into 5)

Favorite NT Memory: Back in the late 70s, the drinking age was 18 and faculty were known to go to student parties.

The officer was completely befuddled when Don Staples, the then RTF chair, answered the door and asked him what he wanted.

Favorite NT Memory: Getting performed; leadership positions like in SGA, President's Sustainability Council and We Mean Green Fund, Composers Forum; doing silly things in Willis during Dead Week; 35Denton: playing at, volunteering for and of course the Flaming Lips show at the fairgrounds.

Favorite NT Sports Memory: I seem to have come in the down years, but running the field after the Indiana win was fantastic - especially since we have a little bit of a rivalry with their Jacobs School of Music (we trade off the title of "Largest College of Music in the US" every few years). I can't wait for next year to see us stomp them again in Bloomington.
