I've always liked the idea of something of this nature. I'm surprised it hasn't happened as of yet. Have an alum path somewhere on campus perhaps close to the stadium or in route to the stadium. 50ish something dollars for an engraved brick with name and graduation year. Something like they already have around the Alumni Pavilion, but open it up for ALL grads. 

Pavers at Alumni Pavilion are open to all grads.  So are the pavers at the new student union.

Hit me with a link and I'll be calling tomorrow ASAP. This needs to be marketed much better.

I believe if you check the Alumni Association website, you can find info on purchasing the pavers at the Alumni Pavilion.  If all else  fails, pick up the phone and just call the Alumni Association. They would be Abe to provide info for you.  The pavers have been on sale since the Pavilion was built.  Unfortunately...lots of space still available.

I will look into this tomorrow. Thank you. I think several spaces are still available because there is no marketing for it.

I haven't heard anything nor has anyone in my family that went to UNT either... This should be something offered to students when they are filling out paperwork for graduation and offered a discount or even something that is offered when going through orientation in a payment plan

I shared the athletic department Facebook announcement to my page earlier today. A high school classmate (Richardson '64) who also went to North Texas responded by buying four tickets to HOD. He has not been to a game at Apogee because he could not get wife or kids to go. I responded by suggesting that we get a group of Richardson alums who also went to NT together for a game or two next year. He is all in!

Would be good to forward this to UNT, maybe they can send out something to or even encourage other Classes to do this, along with the Greeks doing this like a 2nd homecoming

      What is this program missing?

      I think even if one of the seasons with Mason Fine had been an 11-1 or 12-0 season, it wouldn't have made a long term difference. We would not have enough alumni support to continue building off that.

      IMO, the main issue is fan support. We have a very loyal core group with lots of fun things such as the canon, the Model T car, the "North Texas" chant ... but that core group is too small. Previous administrations spent decades tamping down any enthusiasm for sports at UNT, leaving it an after thought for many alumni. It would be much easier to recruit and high great coaches if we had 25k at each game and a community that really backed the teams. Suppose we had beat Navy, went on the beat Army, and finished the year with 10 wins. I don't think that would move the needle much for next year. It would be very difficult to have enough winning seasons to slowly build a winning tradition. Long story, short ... winning at football just isn't important to enough students and alumni. I will agree with others that having our own Boone Pickens would be a great benefit if they could give a lot and have patience. I just don't see that person walking through the door anytime soon.

      Bumping because his name keeps getting thrown into the hat. Can someone please explain the appeal of Carthel for DC and exclude any “coach in waiting” argument?

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Not nearly as accurately as he was before the Tulane hit.

      What is this program missing?

      Simple. UNT has never won the conference and doesn't have a signature win that captured the nation attention. No 2-10 Arkansas doesn't count. UNT also needs a Heisman Candidate to be the face of the team. It was ALMOST there with Mason Fine but it was squandered, opportunity after opportunity keep being missed. Until UNT has a marketable face of the team, actually take down P4 opponents and win the conference, the same story will keep repeating itself. UCF had Blake Bortles take them to the Fiesta Bowl and a big run followed by Milton McKenzie beating Auburn. Boise had Kellen Moore, Jared Zanbranski and others followed with wins over Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. Cincinatti had a 14-0 run to the Sugar Bowl followed by back to back undefeated runs with Desmond Ridder. Houston had a great 2011 run with Case Keenum where we beat UCLA and Penn State in a January Bowl Game. In 2009 we beat #5 Oklahoma State and Texas Tech back to back. In 2015 with Greg Ward Jr, we went 13-1, beat Louisville, Vanderbilt, ranked Navy, ranked Memphis, ranked Temple in the AAC Championship and Florida State in the Peach Bowl 2016, we had Ward back and Ed Oliver and beat Top 5 Oklahoma and Top 5 Louisville on National TV.
