Anyone who was excited about the University of North Texas' upcoming appearance in the second annual Heart of Dallas Bowl now has an extra reason to be pumped.

The Denton County Transportation Authority and DART are teaming up to offer free transportation to and from the Cotton Bowl for anyone coming from Denton. Fans can pick up a limited number of free regional transit passes, which will be good on both DCTA's A-Train and DART's Green Line, from December 26 through December 31.

Passes are strictly one per person and must be picked up at Downtown Denton Transit Center or Apogee Stadium.

Passes are strictly one per person and are available only at DCTAs Downtown Denton Transit Center and UNTs North Texas Athletics Ticket Office located at Apogee Stadium.

I got my DCTA transit pass this morning. It was my first visit to the DCTA depot. I got there a few minutes after 6:00 this morning (12-26). Easy.

The Transit lady told me food was not allowed. Drinks are OK but must be covered.

This is going to introduce DCTA train service to many new customers. Like me. I can't wait.

Now if we could just introduce the train service to folks going in the other direction to help up pack Apogee next year.

It's a good thing this didn't happen tomorrow, but it's worth keeping an eye on to make sure service is restored as anticipated:

Update, 11:45 a.m.: The truck has been cleared and power restored. The downtown bus shuttles are canceled and service will be restored by early afternoon, DART says.

The passes they gave out are regional passes. You do not have to board at a DCTA station. You can get on anywhere...DCTA or DART. That's my understanding anyway.

Don't know about DCTA, but there are no gates to board DART trains. You simply need to have the pass handy if a fare enforcement officer asks to see it.

I went to the ticket office this morning which had a steady flow of people good news!

But they told me to ride the train all my party has to do is show our tickets yet I read on here they give you vouchers???

Is this a lack of communication once again I'm going to the station here in a bit just to check.. But it seems there is not a clear line of communication at the ticket office.

Yea, I have been pleased with the service and work of the ticket office whenever I go up there. It is almost as though someone or someone's are not communicating with these agents to let them know all of the information needed to be successful. Nice news on the steady flow of people!!

How about some applause for those working in the ticket office so many extra hours and being open new years eve is awesome!! :thumbsu:

i went by the train station and they gave me a pass without asking to see my game tickets. See you all tomorrow at the train station hope i make the transfer at the Trinity Mills Station-do they announce the stations on the train? my first time on the train. Also tomorrow i suggest we not call it the A-Train but call it the G-train.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.
