Pavlovs Eagle

Maybe the DRC's new owner KERA told him no more Mr Nice Frito? Heaven forbid we have journalists not tossing softballs (Eagles Nest topic 😅).

We hosted some great Coaches Caravan events! Two of which I went two. And at both events the coaches wives were talking so loud and to each other in the back that the people on stage with mics had to ask them to keep it down so we the faithful could hear the coaches speak. I had a moment when I saw that happen at two events in a row where I second guessed how serious any of our hires were for any of our sports, but I quickly dismissed it because I see life through green tinted glasses. Oh and all our coaches bought as many pairs of Jordans as they could find in green. I swear if they talk about the Jordans anymore...

LOL, foot in mouth. I've been watching it this whole time and didn't know it was Shoemaker. I guess it does help having names on jerseys. SH's defense is still shredding BYU's

Grant is looking very effective against BYU right now. Seeing confidence and leadership from him. Honestly I wouldn't want to play Sam Houston right now. Their undersized defense is working over the P5 sized BYU team.

We're a band school 🥁

And how long is that? Id guess three seasons... But by the third season from now we're back to #hit6 and are all thrilled when we make it to the New Mexico bowl at 3pm on a Wednesday in mid Dec... Then we bonus Morris with a few hundred grand and extend his contract 3 more years. And so begins another 7+ years of a mediocrity loop. Man I'm spiraling 😵‍💫

Ive honestly never seen so many away team fans on the 3rd floor. I assume they called the ticket office and waived some Bay Area cash that the ticket office just couldn't say no to. The ticket office and the scholarship fund always make it very opaque how people get a hold of single game HC tickets who don't have a current HC ticket holder buying it for them. I think a lot of long time HC ticket holders would be royally pissed if they found out how prevalent it actually is.

The amount of rope they are given to hang themselves at the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year is something even the most successful of us will never know. Most CEOs or other misc Chief Officers of public companies (similar pay structure, similar public visibility into performance) never get multiple Quarterly releases much less multiple years to perform poorly and still be employee. Add a UNT handicap onto that timeline that gives you additional years to try to figure out it, and there's plenty of folks that have well flush accounts because of UNT.

The truly "big donors" have always treated the Hub Club era of UNT Football as an extension of their wealthy Country Strong Denton/Wise County groups. They stay to eat a buffet dinner at the Hub Club, see the band, and then say "I'll go watch the 2nd half at home." I can't count the amount of times I've heard that from people sitting near me in the HC, if they even make it to their seats. MGSF said the HC was sold out this afternoon. Other than a surprising amount of Cal fans (where do they even get those Tix?), there was maybe 4 additional new people in our Club section. Still 60%+ empty seats. There's a lot of "Oh golly, isn't that just UNT football? See y'all in a few weeks! 👋"

The AD and head coaches laugh all the way to the bank.

TX State will be in the AAC in the next few years. And that's probably bad for UNT.

They love it, people can't stop saying their brand name. It's the best advertising they have.

I'm very supportive of students joining the board. Just remember friend, this is your pile of trash too. So unless you transfer or turn into another T-Shirt fan Walmart Longhorn, this your forever team! Enjoy!

Why do we think we'll beat LA Tech next week?

I concur. The one thing Stone seems to do well is long ball it. Just heave it and let the clock run out.

Why is no one interested in completing a tackle? Wrap those MFers up.

Big understatement

We're back!

Do I panic yet?

They will be mighty surprised by what the Temps for many of the fall ACC games will be. I hope they don't get Miami or Florida State early in the season. And I love all the caring for the student-athletes on their forum. They care so much they're going to join a conference where their closest out-of-state conference mate will be in Dallas, and their next closest will be 3 time zones away on the east coast. WON'T THEY THINK OF THE KIDS 😩... crocodile tears. 🙄

I was there. The tailgates in the Fouts parking lot were wheels off that day. What a time!

Good on you Doug! Way to support athletics. Don't tell my wife who may divorce me if there's was a summer sport in Denton she'd lose my attention to, but I'd love to see baseball come back. We met one of the old UNT baseball coaches on ticket pickup weekend a few weekends ago. He seemed like a great guy!

Interesting... Not sure I agree with if it's true, but 🤷‍♂️

What did my youthful brothers over at Sigma Nu do to get cast off their normal position on slope of the hill?
