Sour grapes. Wouldn't any school promote a league it's fan base are interested in?

BINGO!

But Roger Staubach did!

God bless you Rick. Your Mean Green family is here.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for the hotel/convention center being built, and the sooner, the better. I just don't think the elected officials are thinking out of the box when it comes to development. While the project will have involvement from the city, I doubt the idea originated with anyone in city government. Maybe I'm wrong. Just my opinion and impression of the City of Denton.

I admit not being in the loop as far as Denton politics is concerned, I just know that if not for UNT, I have no reason to come to Denton. Grapevine or Frisco, you bet, and have often.

Addendum: Maybe there are some things in the works, development wise, that I'm not aware of. My main point is that the other "suburbs" (eg. Grapevine) have made themselves a very attractice place to come and visit for locals and out-of-towners. True, the airport is right there, but Denton is the convergence of two major interstate highways for Peats sake! Like it or not, Denton. Growth is coming. Make the most of it.

I may get shot down for this, but why would anyone (other than UNT) want to hold a conference/convention in Denton? Other than game days, there is nothing to see or do there. There's not even a decent public golf coarse close by. Why a developer doesn't turn the old Razor Ranch project into a nice 18 hole golf coarse is beyond me. There are a few nice restaurants in town, but is there anything special or unique that would really compel a business or other entity to come and spend it's money in Denton? Unique venues like big concert halls with mainstream bands, air shows, a local Schlitterbahn like in south Texas or other large, unique entertainment centers that would support a large influx of people on a regular basis. Business and other commercial development in Denton has been retarded for years. IMHO, the City needs to get inventive an create some venues that would encourage conventions to come here on a regular basis.

How many were in attendance?

Hop - skip and dunk!

STRONG! GO MEAN GREEN!!

What a fool. Why would someone NOT want to be on a team that is loaded like this one? Go figure.

Not to mention a new M.D. program and Pharmacy school at the UNTHSC-Ft. Worth.

Glad to see UTEP is staying in CUSA.

La Tech. We already don't like each other.

A very, uniformed and short sighted letter. Why the Big East? Hell, Big 12 or bust!

Awesome!

Don't give up hope. Things change very quickly in the world of college athletics. UAB is unstable and ECU would bolt for the BE in a heartbeat if the BE gets raided again. Hopefully, your leadership will position ya'll for a move up the food chain.

Yep, lots of good memories. Now, for new ones!

Amen to that!

That was then, this is now. Go Mean Green!

I couldn't agree more. It's a no-brainer.

They recruit against us anyway.

Ya, but our name has been thrown around too much in various reports for us to not get in. UTSA has nothing to lose from a perception standpoint in beating their own drum. If they don't get in so what? We, on the other hand, have been trying to upgrade our position for years. For us to toot our horn and not get in, would look bad from that same perception standpoint.

How about Bone Daddy's?
