May I introduce you to he who purchases more North Texas football season tickets than any human on the planet: Denton native, NT alumnus, class of 2004, owner/creator of arguably the best social venues in town, East Side and Oak Street Drafthouse: Mr. John Williams.

It was a good night for North Texas this evening as Audacity and East Side teamed with North Texas Athletics (damn near the entire department was on hand) to sell $4.00 brews in a co-branded North Texas/Audacity pint glass that he who purchased was free to keep. North Texas had the table set up with Mean Green Club information, schedule posters, etc, Lots of green shirts on hand.

I want to be young again. Denton has never been this good, and continues to get better.

North Texas had record enrollment this semester, 3% above last year. Freshman, by the way, are 7% above last year (congrats @Peacock, et al.).

This is what college towns do. Your school is in a real college town. Support East Side. Support Audacity. Support North Texas Athletics. 

 

GMG...and damnit, BEAT $MU.

I love me some john Williams, but I'd like people to also at least recognize my buddy Patrick as well. He is the managing partner of Essc, and he is just as much a supporter of Unt athletics as john is. He's been around Denton since 2000 at least. He's almost always there. Make sure to give him some love as well.

Patrick is amazing. I brought in one of my battle flags to drape over a table one day to accompany an away game viewing. He and John approached me immediately to purchase it off me and then hung it in the front window next to the bar. I grin whenever I see it.

Yeah, I didn't have time to change before coming so I wasn't in green either. 

The pecan lager is pretty awesome, I recommend folks try it soon. Unless I'm mistaken, it's a part of their Little D series and as such won't last too long.

Didn't mean to diss the good man Patrick. Haven't met him, I don't think. 

I am enjoying getting to know Denton again, appreciate the relatively high number of independent businesses there and focused on propping all of the North Texas-supporting businesses!

This is such a brilliant business move.   For the life of me I don't understand why more Denton businesses haven't gone full Mean Green support crazy.  This town has a ton of pent up demand for it in my opinion.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
