It would be an honor if he was speaking at a Distinguished Lecture Series event where he could go and not force people who are uncomfortable with his social policies to be in the presence of. This

She's about as qualified to speak on National Security as this idiot is to speak on anything having to do with education.

What you are saying is only speakers that believe like 21 year old college kids when it comes to politics should be considered. Because college certainly isn't about challenging ones ideas about the w

I think we had president Rawlins at ours. He talked for like 15 minutes at best. Yay December commencements!

Heck, mine was in August 2001. I seem to recall the speaker was the Dean of the Library Sciences School. He was actually rather funny and kept it short.

In May of 2008 we had the new head of the Alumni Association speak at ours. He slipped up and called the school UT at one point, then said "Oh come on I just missed a consonant!" after he was booed...

That story is going to be tough to beat.

UNT can do a big commencement speaker now due to the commencement changes. Everyone now graduates at the same time out at Apogee on Saturday night. This hopefully will be the first of many big speakers in the future.

Great to hear and as it should be! Kudos to Dr. S for making more positive changes.

We used to have a single commencement speaker and then separate "walk across the stage" ceremonies. When I graduated in 1987 the speaker was H.Ross Perot.

Not sure when we went completely decentralized. 90's or early 2000's?

Higgins said, ‘You f***ing pieces of s***’ and ‘I’m going to beat you until you’re dead.

"Higgins hit the elevator with his head and then pretended to pass out and slumped to the floor. I could tell that Higgins had not actually passed out because he was giggling.”

"Higgins also threatened Aspen Ambulance paramedics and attempted to bite one who was attempting to bandage a cut on his nose"

I take calling this guy a spare back.

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
