All About UNT

Those are the words of the writer of the article and not the man quoted. Both are men who are considered to be experts in public policy and while arguing the merits of a convention center can continue to drag out.... I would prefer to focus on the portion where it clearly states that some cities have placed a convention center into an area that could use a boost in both appeal and value. Denia is EXACTLY that type of place. Let me ask you though........do you rent or own said Denia residence?

"Sanders makes a strong case for what he believes to be the real goals behind convention-center development. Sometimes it's to increase area property values. Boston is an example of a new convention center being used to help jump-start a developing neighborhood. In other cases, the facility is seen as an anchor to insure against downtown erosion or, in cities like St. Louis, part of an effort to reverse neighborhood erosion." http://www.governing.com/blogs/bfc/col-convention-center-promised-benefits-rarely-materialize.html If P1 and other experts that reside in Denia had their way........ we would never have built the athletic complex and there would be an abandoned hotel and overgrown golf course in place of what is one of the prettiest locations in Denton. We want Sack N Save........but not a beautiful conference center to be the face of Denton and what people see when they drive through. Makes so much sense. They were more concerned with a coyote than improving access to the neighborhood or UNT's desire to build a new stadium. Remember those diehards that moved out of the neighborhood before 2011 when we opened the stadium because they were convinced nobody would appreciate the neighborhood anymore or desire to live there? Well go look at Zillow estimates (not the best authority given) for the houses that border the Athletic Complex.......... in early-mid 2012 the values in the neighborhood went up roughly 30%. Don't counter with it's because the economy rebounded cause the values were stagnant well before the recession. Go drive down Lindsey St. and tell me that half the houses shouldn't be condemned. I'm in the market in Dallas and really want a Craftsman style home (original) so you can't label me as someone that would argue the greatness of DR Horton homes.

Denia is a funny neighborhood. Most of the neighborhood homes really need to be torn down and built over with homes that the real estate location deserves. Moaning about the Convention Center just takes the cake... it wouldn't do anything but improve their property values but ok.

oh the fun we can have with this name on the roster.... I can see the signs already

Big Dan brings up a good point. Do we save a scholarship for him to come back?

I vote for the Ball State dynamite guy

FIFY

Great job on holding on!

For the record....when we were up by 20 I still said we lose this game

Someone wake me up

Yeah sorry....came in during a break so I couldn't tell what game it was

I harped on a reliance on Pegram starting last offseason. Dude gives it his all but is just too slow to make huge differences.

Based on his idiot brother's decision to bad mouth us on social media #butthurt I'm cool with never seeing him at UNT if that's what the coaches think is best (on scholarship anyway). What a douche canoe.... I don't see TCU or SMU offering him but hey...let's not take the high road on UNT

The names we are next to on that list make me want to gag

If we are taking that route...... let me throw in Ashton Elmore from Vermilion CC who lead Juco with 19 SACKS and 65 tackles last year. He was also 2nd Team Defense All American http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4324413/ashton-elmore

Yes............... we can't even hang on to him and stop him from going to a far more respectable program for probably 3-4x the pay. We're so pathetic. We should just close shop. Woe is me.

Looks like it.

So um...........is that the National Championship Trophy in Apogee Stadium in that pic (down below)?

Mo?

Traffic Radio? Try using Google Traffic and actually enjoy listening to the radio on your commute. Satellite Radio has made me an addict and I will never go back to listening to 400 commercials a day.

The kid in the pic (Jose) just started at UNT this last August after transferring from OU. I would cut him some slack. UNT has neither set me back or advanced me in life in regards to networking professionally. It has introduced me to quite a few people that I consider to be great friends and sports family

doesn't matter....dude is LISTED at 6'1 and 180 and I can't see that weight getting much higher. Just cannot see him even playing after another year or so of taking hits.

I'm sure he could care less what the "results" are since he surely doesn't live or breath on the approval of those on this board. I do take issue with telling another poster or fan to go "play with a gun" and would go after anyone that would stoop to that level. I expect more out of our Alumni Coordinator.
