on receiving (or being scheduled to receive) the Ulys Knight Spirit Award.

Thanks for your tireless dedication to our fine university!

Thanks so much.  I wasn't aware that the word was out as yet.  I am truly honored and humbled by both the nomination from that great Mean Greener drex and, of course, by the selection by a committee comprised of representatives from across the University.  It is indeed a special thing for me to be so honored.  The irony is that I will be away the day of the Alumni Awards ceremony event, and will not be available to receive the award in person. That's "good news", of course, for those who would have had to listen to my acceptance speech.  Instead, my son, will fly in from Virginia to accept on my behalf.  Hopefully, he will look great in his Navy dress blues.  I couldn't talk him in to wearing a Mean Green cap with that uniform just for the event.

What I do for UNT I do out of my love for the greatness that is UNT and for our current, former and future students.  I get way way more out of all my volunteer efforts than I give, so in a way it is sort of a selfish effort, but it is indeed a most enjoyable one.  UNT is much more to me than any department or any person or program.  It IS UNT.  We celebrate 125 years of greatness this year in fact.  I wish I could be around to celebrate the next 125 years.

Congratulations KRAM!  Thanks for all your efforts on behalf of UNT and this site.  For those of you who don't know him, here are a few pictures from the events Mark put together with our fans over the years.  All of these events directly benefited UNT student athletes and or UNT Athletics/UNT Cheer.  Thanks KRAM for your support and dedication to the cause.  GMG!

Congrats, Mark. 

I had the pleasure of "running into" Mark a few months ago at the grocery store on a Sunday.  Mark doesn't do anything at a slow pace, so I caught up with him in the produce section, and there he was with his Mean Green tie on and we commiserated on the upcoming season for a minute or two.  Always representing. 

Well deserved, sir.

You can't get everyone to agree on everything so I'm sure there could be someone who doesn't think Mark is tirelessly working to help the university, but you would have to look far and wide to find them. (And then figure out what the hell is wrong with them!)

BADD radio would be disappointed in you

Awe shucks folks....you are making me blush!  Thanks so much for the kind words.  I appreciate them much more than any of you could ever know.

So much more fun to be had in the coming years doing what I can in support of UNT and the Mean Green. I would only add....get involved...participate...enjoy the University and all it has to offer....don't get bogged down in the little things that, in the whole scheme of things do not matter, don't let individuals or little annoyances get in your way of seeing the much bigger picture of how much it means to our current, former and future students and athletes that you support YOUR University.  You will get so much more out of it than you give.  That I can promise you!

thanks again...for all the kind words.
