Hey guys! So, I've been reading this board for almost six years now and after creating an account several months ago, I've FINALLY made it a point to actually introduce myself and hopefully become a regularly contributing member. 

I moved to Denton from a small town in south Texas in the fall of 2010 to transfer to UNT as a music student, knowing virtually nothing about the city or the school itself other than its renowned College of Music and the town's bustling music scene. I began attending games during my first semester, which was the end of the Todd Dodge era and somehow, even through a 3-9 season, I fell in love with the program and found myself attending as many games as possible and wanting to know anything and everything about the Mean Green, which led me to frequent several sites such as this one.

I have since graduated in May of 2013 and have fallen in love with Denton overall as well. My girlfriend and I still live here, play in a few bands, and can be found regularly at many local spots and music shows around town. We are looking forward to attending the season opener this Saturday and I'm very excited to see what this team has in store with Seth Littrell and his staff leading the way! I'm not sure what to expect in terms of wins and losses this season, but I'm definitely hoping to see some major improvements after a dismal season last year.

Anyway, I just wanted to make a brief introduction and provide a little bit of information about myself before I start popping up on various threads.

Looking forward to many discussions with you guys!

Go Mean Green!

Blake, I lived eight years of my life equidistant from Ciudad Victoria and Victoria. The locals called it "el valle de lagrimas", we just called it "The Valley".

Valley-ite as well... from the small town of Los Fresnos

Came to Edinburg from Indiana in 1963 to attend Pan American. Joined the National Guard in San Benito. Got married in Rio Hondo. After my first job in Dallas, came back to be a banker in McAllen in 1977. Eventually took a banking job back in Dallas in 1979 and have lived in this area ever since. So yeah, I consider myself a Valley-ite at heart. I didn't get to Los Fresnos but I know I went to school with some folks from there...them Falcons was a proud bunch!

@Eastwood Eagle It's always nice to meet a fellow Victorian! I actually know several people from Victoria who live here in Denton including my girlfriend, my best friend, and the drummer for my band. 

If you are in Hen in the Cocks I graduated with the singer and use to jam with the drummer back in high school (I'm a bassist). Small world. I have heard y'alls stuff. Keep it up man.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
