Meanwhile, Mean Green Athletics be like, "And this is where I'd keep my collegiate baseball team..."

Oh yes, I'm sure you're going to love your visit to Houston!

1. I stayed at Mozart and my RA from there is now the Hall Director at the newest dorm, Rawlins Hall. I thought Mozart was nice, but Rawlins is out of this world. I'll hit you with the real-real too, though. There were rooms in some halls that weren't up to code. For instance, they had to remove counter-top stoves from Santa Fe rooms because there weren't adequate safety features. It's true that today's dorms are way nicer than in the old days, so UNT is having to do a lot of catch-up to get up to snuff, but if you get in early enough and get a hall like Rawlins then you'll love it. 2. The meal plan rocks if you eat in the dorms twice a day or so. Make it a thing to try the various cafeterias with your friends (UNT has 5 or 6, so there is tons of variety). Enjoy the hell outta Kerr's late night cafeteria for...whatever reason you're there late at night. 3. Literally all of my friends who got their teaching degree/cert from UNT are employed in ISDs they love. When you're a teacher, I'm not sure you can ask for much more than that. Science is hit-or-miss, from my experience/knowledge. If you want to be a teacher, though, then I think you'll be fine. P.S. definitely 4. IDK how much time you've spent in DFW, but public transportation around here sucks a big one compared to NY, DC, etc. It's getting better, particularly in Dallas, but I would be careful not to overestimate the value of a public transportation pass around here. Make friends with someone who has a car and their parent's credit card. Other than that, I hope you come to North Texas and love it! You get out of the college experience what you put into it. Hopefully we'll be putting a football (and other sports) product on the field that you'll enjoy watching. We look forward to having you and Go Mean Green!

And I'm sure this is marks the end of people making jokes about Vito and parking passes on gomeangreen.com.

Okay, I love that guy after watching that vid. Suddenly love that hire.

Reminds me of someone...

New MGFB vid of LB Coach Koonz

Yes, this is true, she did suffer for many years under the old regime.

Lol, still yep.

Yep

Tangential to the topic, but related enough. "Now go out and complain about it." "Trust me...I will."

Honest question asked out of curiosity - why do you say that? Does his family have ties to UNT or something?

So I'm asking quite a bit of you, but if someone wanted to outline how this hire compares to the Benford hire at the time, I'd love to read the breakdown.

I have to hate this article just because of the...entertaining science. Using a sample size that's almost half of the minimum recommended for social surveys. In the first question, 38% rate a 4 or 5 out of 5 and 50% rate a 3, yet he says "the majority of recruits weren't concerned." Then, a 180 on the second question calling 56% an "overwhelming majority." I did, however, enjoy that the belief of Houston fans being effing idiots was confirmed.

But you do get to be "apart" of as many tutoring sessions as you want...

Spring game, Lamar, CUSA Championship game

The world's in a sad state when someone pursuing a graduate degree doesn't know the difference between apart and "a part."

Me reading the headline: Me after reading all your level-headed responses:

Haha, sorry Dan. Too bad we CantElope back to the SBC, huh? Get it!?! Cuz of your avatar!

Hah! We would even be in the bottom half of the recruiting class in the conference we abandoned! *laugh til I cry*

One grade shift of the bell curve would be one thing. Two would suggest that someone takes serious stock in the value of high recruiting ratings. But a three level grade shift? That's a "sky is falling reaction." Don't get me wrong - I'm utterly befuddled by the situation. It's damn frustrating that a big recruiter of ours just walked away while our conference mates are rocketing skyward. But "at the end of the day" I want the Ws. If they can some how get those with mostly 2 stars, so be it. I think a bad recruiting class after turning a 1-11 team into a 5-7 team isn't reason enough to flunk the man. (For the record, I dropped from a B to a C+ on this vote.)
