AAC is what it is because Cincy, Navy, Houston made their own success MW is what it is bc of SDSU, Fresno, Boise were beating big names (though Boise started in the WAC) Sun Belt has Appy, Coastal, Rajun Cajuns ranked at some point this season. Let's clean up our own mess first. Heck let's win an NCAA tournament game in one sport.

Little bit different when it comes to rape and sexual assault versus the usual recruiting infractions.

It actually is kinda sad how many Briles apologists we have on this board, but I'm also not surprised.

There's definitely some second chance hires that don't make the cut due to violent crimes because it would actually be a security risk and some industries do not allow certain violent offenders. Briles was the CEO of the entire organization and allowed all of this to happen and then never admitted that he let this happen, in fact using his Christian faith as a shield to deflect blame when he and many in his program destroyed the lives of women. I definitely don't want him around North Texas and don't think he needs a second chance.

Might want to read into everything that happened at Baylor under his watch. Also might want to talk to all the women whose lives were affected thanks to everything that went down there. I'm all for second chances (I'm piloting a second chance program at my work) but not for people who did what he did.

I think WBB's time will come. I have faith in Jalie.

How are you feeling as a teacher? My fiancee might have to go back to her east austin school district in October and is terrified, especially as a germaphobe.

Yes... he had some other questionable decisions as well

He's wasn't a public figure in the sense of Hayden Fry, Bill Yeoman or others that we devote threads too, and he didn't post on this board. Feel free to take this down if necessary. I just wanted to make it a point to memorialize an awesome UNT alum by the name of Dave Jackson, who served with myself and @Jason Howeth on the UNT Austin Steering Committee board and passed away this past weekend. He was probably the nicest person I've ever come across. He had a lot of passion and pride for UNT, Theta Chi, Emergency Management, helping building a UNT community in emergency management and his wife of 21 years, Cathy, who he met at UNT. I only got to know him over the past couple of years but I could tell from the beginning he had a heart of a community servant- always willing to meet people, and help whenever you needed and always willing to educate on emergency management and craft beer to help us all. He even bought us a battle flag to use in Austin. He was 45 years old. All this to say cherish each day you get, try to be friendly to everyone you meet, and live life like Dave, appreciating every little thing life has to offer you (seriously- the little stuff Dave had pride in was amazing). The UNT community in Austin is going to miss him.

Let me know if you know of anyone!

Have before but I know people in this group in particular were impacted so wanted to go this route first.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEAN GREEN NATION (OR JUST MEAN GREEN COUNTY) Hey everyone- I'm hiring remote roles in Texas for a fast growing startup (so yes, can be anywhere in Texas as long as you have a remote connection). These are full-time roles with benefits and I'd love to get some Mean Green alums in the process. The roles are: Tech Support Customer Service Agent Corporate Filing Specialist- must have a background in regulation and compliance and in the 'starting your own business (aka understand how to file DBAs, LLCs, etc) industry" Paralegals in the similar industry as above Customer Success Some weekend work is required for the support roles. Feel free to send it around. We are also hiring in Illinois, Florida and North Carolina. DM me if you have questions.

Bulletin board material for our team.

Layoff, not furlough. Don't really want to go back- not great to work for- on to better things. Plus 35% of the employees they laid off were MG alums.

The virus hasn't infected me, but it affected me. I was laid off March 26th from my Human Resources and Talent Management role in Austin. If anyone might have any HR leads, or has some projects for me to work on remotely during this time, please let me know. Happy to share my resume with any of you.

Sure this isn't the most football related, but I feel like the football board is where the most action is and I want us to be able to help other Mean Green. Obviously COVID-19 has taken a hit on more than a few of us (sickness/employment-wise) and our businesses, no matter if we're in Austin, Dallas, Houston, or elsewhere. Would love to get a list going of Mean Greeners who need a job, some extra help, or Mean Green-owned businesses (and where) that we can patronize (ordering online) to help them out. I know in Austin, Austin Gourmet Popcorn, and Lambert's could use some love.

When I was there we were decent. Made the playoffs in 05. We're much better at other sports though.

On ESPNU as well....

Consistent winning leads to consistent attendance. Fun product + fun experience = repeat customers

Also.... if any Houston folks have someone willing to sell me Mavs/Rockets tickets for the Friday before... please let me know.

how much you pay for tickets? Praying that the price drops during the week.

Will be in houston with the fiancee and trying to wrangle both mavs and UNT tickets for the weekend. Anyone else planning on going to the game?

Seth to Lucky Lou's?

I know Leach is a funny guy... but I assume you meant parity right?

Have a blessed Hanukkah @Censored by Laurie
