Doe UNT still have these?  I went years ago back when Dodge was coach, but havent seen anything about this season's banquet, if tickets are available to the public, etc.   Anyone know anything?

Yes they do them.. The players posted up images of them all dressed up before the start of last years.. 

I have no idea if its open to the public though

that's a new event though (i think last year was the first year), called the scrappy's or something.  i believe there was something else for alumni/boosters back in the day.

Yeah.  I think that may have been an all UNT athletics awards event if I remember correctly.

I  don't get it, it was a lot of fun back in the day...Because especially after a really successful year, they could EASILY sell out tickets/tables @ $75 per ticket and get 400 people on the floor of the colosseum = $30K Gross.   Seems like an easy fundraiser...

Send it into WB.. I’d even suggest a thread with some generic ideas (table size, price, time/date,etc) and email it into him..

The Department can use the cash

When Darrell was coaching I reached out to Hank to see what I could to support the program. The result was the football banquet which I sponsored thru my company, Zimmer-White. It quickly out grew our humble beginnings and The Outback became its sponsor. The banquet was very popular with alumni, and well attended. However, for some reason coach Mac decided to eliminate alumni participation, and I don't know if it continued for "players only" or not. We also had a basketball banquet during J.J.'s tenure, but it bit the bisque as well.

Even better.. @trud1966 email hank and hopefully we can have a list pre-made with an idea of #s of people..

I assume banquets with alumni participation went the way of letter jackets.

Well Hank had a role in it in the pass apparently and he would be a good contact to have to at least find out who to contact now. 

If anything, just having the numbers in terms of fans interested, and it being sent to Hank would likely lead to it being brought up to WB.

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.
