The Union looks amazing! I cant wait to take my daughter around later this year.She is a 9th grader right now with UCLA stuck on her mind. I have a couple of years to convert her. My son grew up at North Texas, so he has already planned on attending UNT as soon as he exits the Army. If I were a high school kid, the Union would certainly sway my decision! 

Well done North Texas!

Seriously, This is great. Reminds me a lot of aTm when i went there to interview for grad school. UNT is my dream job at the moment and the obvious commitment to improving the student experience is just one reason why.

Next thing the university needs to push through is a 60 mil expansion of Willis library and a research building to give us adequate space to begin the push for tier 1 status!

EDIT: I looked up the master plan, and as of 2011 the university is planning a $140 expansion/renovation of the library facilities due by 2021.

You mean that Scientific Research Building that's been fenced off since I started studying at UNT in Fall 2012? Since they've been trying to push for Tier 1 status so much, I'm surprised that they haven't done a dang thing with that building as far as I can tell. And I'd be down for an expansion of Willis, as long as those $60 mil includes renovation. The new library needs to be as modern and high-tech as the new union.

VERY well done.  I am excited to go take a tour of it myself.  Someone did some very nice work in getting our school colors, songs, and eagles throughout the place.  I just kept thinking the whole time I watched it how well they did in incorporating that into the building.

for sure... I think there are quite a few great examples of what is possible. I am at UofL now and they expanded their library recently and it is freaking awesome now! has an open fel in the older wing and a completely modern west wing. I think willis is placed in a way that you could expand it on 3 sides and really take advantage of the space around the library mall. I saw some renderings for it a while back.

      When The Portal Opens

      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.
