I saw a group was having a big up to do at Apogee stadium.  I cannot remember what the meeting is about  or who is sponsoring it ,but was shocked who the guest speaker is.  Dale Hanson, yes the most important sports reporter in the world.  I have three questions about the speaking engagement.  First does Hanson know where Denton is? 2 Does he know what Apogee is? 3 Does he know what college team plays in the stadium?

Get ready for several back-handed compliments and sarcastic comments about Apogee & the Mean Green while he's here.

Dale's daughter did go to North Texas.  The first Don January Golf Tournament was a success in large part due to Dale's participation.  He is quirky, but I have had generally good relations with him relative to North Texas.

Dale pays attention to anyone who is winning and draws eyeballs. UNT just hasn’t given him any reason to cover them much, but SMU has been the same with him, too. When they were cheating and winning, he brought them down. That’s his MO. He covers teams that garner lots of interest, while ignoring those who don’t. His ratings suggest he’s doing things right.

Dales daughter did go to UNT and he is usually quite supportive of us.  He also has pounded SMU over the years and lately Baylor.

There's a good chance he was up there speaking to the Sports Broadcasting class, which our own Hank Dickenson is the professor of. They typically meet in the Bill Mercer Press Club or the big media hall.

People that spoke when I was in the class included Gina Miller, George Dunham, Ralph Strangis, Brad Sham and the aforementioned Dale Hansen.

I don't believe Dale mentioned the CBI at all. For a local reporter that's embarrassing. 

Then the fan base needs to be emailing in and Tweeting at the local reporters saying they missed out. CBS 11, Bill Jones, he seems to do the most UNT but Ch8 seems to have multiple UNT Alumni on air and directing. 

Maybe even email the UNT AD communications staff about it. Maybe the stations are doing it but not promoting it and UNT should be promoting it.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      I wouldn't put it past Penny Hardaway getting that group to double digit losses come selection Sunday.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Join the Infantry in Houston - Tuesday, 2/11 at 8pm

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.
