Did he live in Bowling Green? Did he rent or own a home? Please be specific, somebody out there knows.

Undoubtedly someone on here knows...I'm sure he's "made sure she got home safely after a game" numerous times.

He coached @ Mexia....

Or at least parked outside and waited just to be sure?

I'm willing to bet this thread isn't close to the creepiest thing to have ever occurred.

Bottom.

Back to the topic at hand... With what we were paying her and the support she received from her own AD & Alumni Association.... She probably stayed in a one bedder over in cement city.

"Freshman guard Derrick Gordon, WKU's leading scorer and rebounder, will transfer from the program, a source confirmed to the Herald on Thursday. Gordon wants to play closer to his home in Plainfield, N.J., the source said. He averaged 11.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game on his way to earning Third Team All-Sun Belt Conference honors. Gordon, who started all 35 games for WKU this season, helped lead WKU to a Sun Belt Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament, where the Toppers fell in the Second Round to eventual champion Kentucky." Story Huge loss for WKU!!!

Start listening at the 52:50 mark...sounds to me like we're moving. He's talking about filling the stadiums and making kids (players) in the metroplex take notice, thinking it's "ok to come here"..so that enables us to recruit more Tony Mitchells. He goes on to say, "then you get some movement and things change about your surroundings and kids will have another inclination to come here". All of this in the context of UNT slowly building up, getting better fan support, enabling better recruiting, etc. Obviously, "movement in our surroundings" is a reference to our conference mates of the future. In this context, it just wouldn't make sense that that movement might be UTSA and/or TxSt and/or LaTech/etc joining the Sun Belt with us. Since he is talking about UNT building UP and increasing in stature, it has to be a reference to us stepping UP in terms of conference affiliation. The talk towards the beginning of the podcast was more guarded. From listening to this podcast in it's entirety, it'd be hard to say that it's definitely "in the bag" that we'll be moving, but it sure sounds like things are pointing strongly to that if things stay the way they are now. Granted, that's something he mentions...that this is all still fluid.

Busta Capps?

You bet your Lieberman Ethridge McConnell-Miller Daniels Tidwell... ...crap...now I'm upset about this.

Someone should send her a FB message and ask. I know she always loved hearing from some of you guys at all hours of the day...

Comforting to know that as an elected official, you did not "run it" through a buddy at the police or sheriff's department as that would be against the law. This post is just weird and disrespectful even if you are chasing rental property.

I don't know the address, I just know what the furniture looked like from the front yard.

Hey it could be worse. We could be SMU, who can't give away $3+M to someone to coach their men's team.

Do you ever read before you post? Here again is the statement you are trying to respond to: By the way, I didn't state that endowments were unimportant to the school, they definitely are. The point again is that they have little to do with NT athletics and probably less with realignment. I have not heard any discussions about Boise State's resources or any big movement to get an Ivy league school to move up to the fb division because they have giant endowments. On a realignment scale, I would opine that a couple more recent football victories or an extra million in the athletic budget would weigh much heavier than a few hundred million more in endowments.

The comments were all about what a nice guy he is. That's great and all, but sometimes I'd rather our A.D. command respect because he is a tough customer who knows how to work things in UNT's favor.

to put it in perspective, we got more press when Karen left than when she arrived.

You knew some site was gonna have one up. I guess they think MTSU will be the team to beat even without Dendy. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/04/argument-starter-a-2012-13-ncaa-tournament-projection/

Woo Ha! Got you all in check! wait...

There was a lot of PC, don't rock the boat talk in there. Think we're just playing it close to the vest here.

You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square.

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 I don't know that we can realistically ask for anything more to be done by our university to get us into the Alliance. My guess is that if we don't get in now, we ain't gettin' in. Here's why: We already have the facilities, TV market, budget and academic standing to fit perfectly with the Alliance now. If the Alliance still thinks we aren't a fit, then I highly doubt that anything will change that belief in the future. Yes, our football team has been awful, but our attendance numbers have actually gone up since we won the SBC in 2001-2004. I just can't see how winning the SBC this year would suddenly change the minds of the Alliance members if they believe that we don't belong in their conference now. To piggyback on your points of what we still pay the price for as a university from poor decisions in our past, imagine being the chancellor or president at UNT if we stay in the SBC and then the league gets dropped down to a less than FBS level in the future. Can you imagine the outcry that will come from the dollars that have been spent on the football program recently? If we think the Denia/Denton residents that hate UNT howl right now, just think of how much ammunition that crowd will run with in their anti-athletics drivel if we don't get to move up anytime soon... Also, we get laughed at when we ask people to come watch a home game againsta conference mate in Western Kentucky. I have already gotten laughs about a home conference game this year against South Alabama. I am fairly certain that trying to sell a home conference game against Georgia State won't be any easier in the future.

Any idea what your boy is tipping the scales at these days? He was remarkably effective at 265 or so...love to see what he could do at 280+

Money and prestige aside, it's threads like this that would cause me to seek employment elsewhere if I were her. Very creepy.

Yep, and a number of our students couldn't find Apogee late in the year.

I was thumbing through the state of Texas financials, especially as had to do with university funds, recently and compared a few of the revenue amounts. Texas State and Texas Tech, each with 5,000 or less students had about the same amount of revenue as North Texas. Actually, the revenue each generated was just over $48 million for last year while North Texas was slightly under that figure. That told me that the cost of attending North Texas is less per student and the quality is equal to those institutions at the least. I believe that UNT is a better value now and will be even moreso if the Four Bold Goals achieve their design. I expect North Texas to take a tremendous leap in prestige within the next ten years.

This is just like the old school writeups Harry used to put up...keep em coming! It was these writeups that got me hooked on the gomeangreen.com board!!!

Your son's a good one. We're glad to have him at UNT, and glad to have you on the board.

Darn...that fat, bald, over-sweater deserves a special place in Hell and coaching SMU basketball is about as close he could get here on Earth.

You mentioned TE Drew Miller not shying away from contact, I cannot imagine why. He was an All State Linebacker at Prosper. Thanks for the update!

Hell, if he's from Sanger, he'd be right at home in Denton. Double (or better) whatever he's getting and put him in charge of fundraising for a new "permannent practice facility" for mbb and wbb programs. Sounds like he's someone who wouldn't waste any time in reaching out to the community.

Strike one to Austin Jackson

You need to review the Official Quitter rule book.

Quitter

i talked to a friend of a friend of a friend's dog who said that la tech will be invited to the sec and lsu was getting sent to the wac....if its on the internet, it must be true...

http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/solar-company-bankrupt-despite-win-win-doe-loan/459621 "...Solar Trust for America received $2.1 billion in conditional loan guarantees from the Department of Energy -- "the largest amount ever offered to a solar project," according to Energy Secretary Steven Chu -- for a project near Blythe, Calif., but declared bankruptcy within a year. It is unclear how much of the guarantee, if any, was actually awarded...." Rick

Got it now. Great report! Thank you for the insight.

He's studying business not RTVF.... It will be interesting to see how long he can maintain his quasi-super celebrity status on Fry St. once he's no longer an on-air personality.

Don't think we should throw stones. After all, these guys couldn't find Lubbock when starting from Houston. Seems to me we had several student athletes who couldn't find the classroom while living on campus. Just sayin...

No doubt he's a legit 5* board op prospect. However, I think he wants to change positions. Not sure where he feels he should be playing in the broadcast, but you gotta think that with his skillset and coaching he's already obtained, the transition should be smooth. Surely the coaches in the RTVF department will be able to ease the transition and I expect Grubes to have a nice career at UNT. Hopefully we'll hear him as a sideline reporter during the football games. Jub-Jub to Grubes back to Jub-Jub!

I think Rivals has Grubes rated as a 4 star recruit for RTV, while Scout has him as a 3. Interesting. I mean, no doubt he is talented, but it isn't like we just landed a 5 star Mike Doocy, right??? Thoughts? And how do the Alums of the program feel? Will he be instantly accepted by the likes of GreenGuyBass, or will he upset the chemistry by hogging all the attention. Interesting times in the UNT RTV program. EDIT: Is Grubes considered a JUCO transfer?

geezz louise. Another example of the state of today's youth. How in gods' name would any of today's youth manage to function if our satellite system and cell phone system got suddenly knocked out because of severe solar flairs.

Kind of unfair seeing as how they get to have a man on their team. Yeah, that was low, but don't act like you haven't thought the same thing.

Because, you know, we have a board for that...

KEITH CHAPMAN IS IN THE HOUSE!!!!! I am sure everyone will recall the great Keith Chapman and the punts he made that pinned the opposing team down inside their own 5 yard line! Greatness! Maybe Keith can be the "designated punter for both teams...Ha! Welcome aboard, Keith...really glad to have you in the game!
