Came up to Denton to watch the women’s basketball team dismantle Panhandle State (it’s in Oklahoma).  

What I was amazed by was the sheer volume of construction going on all over campus.  I get back to Denton regularly, and there are buildings I never knew were going up.   It is NOTHING like the campus I left just 17 years ago.

I think College Inn will always be there.

It's made out of concrete stone, so that place is built like a fortress.  In the event of a nuclear war, head over to Ave D for shelter.  I still remember turning on the oven and leaving the door open to warm the place up before the actual heat was turned on.  Damn those were some cold days sometimes!!!!

Cement City needed to be knockdown in the late 1970's.  It sucked bad when I lived on Louise Street.   Still, remember the slum lords company Fox&Jacobson. The University should annex the land and knock it all down.  It has become a high crime area.

Back in the 1970s, the college inn was the sorority girls building but males could live there in the summer.  Might fine ladies lived there. Kerr hall was the newest dorm on campus at the time.

But if they did that back in the 70's I would have had no place to live in the early 90's.   One of my room mates had his radio stolen from his car the first night he moved in.  Other than that, it was fine and cheap.

Why is that dump College Inn still there? I'd rather stay in my imaginary basement.

There's a better chance of you staying in an imaginary dwelling than ever setting foot at College Inn. Loved that place in college. Where all the sorority girls lived.

The rule stated that YOU had to graduate from UNT before it would be torn down...and since you ran off to Cougar High it looks like it wont ever be torn down...

Also, where will the roaches go?  The crime has escalated to people being robbed at gunpoint in the parking lots of apt and even some hooker arrest there.

Had to share your comment with my wife. 2505 Louise. 2nd place that my wife and I lived (early '70s) after we got married out Jr. year.  Dyed blue shag carpet, paper thin walls, meanest landlord ever, and you didn't dare leave anything outside.  Memories....not good ones...but it built character.  Then we moved to 910 Eagle and never had it so good.

Was one of the roaches wearing a SMU jersey?

 

Edit: Sorry, I though you said the roaches were robbing hookers at gunpoint.

That’s true, actually.

Agreed. I married one of them nearly 49 years ago.  She and her roommates had the premier room, #201, right above the front door.  It was the best viewing spot for keeping up with the various "goins on".

When you stand outside the dorm creepily watching the girls, then blaring John Mayer outside their windows from your phone, of course he's going to know that.

See that's how you know you liked those bottom of the barrel girls. Everybody knows all the best girls stayed in Maple.

Loved the Maple girls as well and the fun of sneaking in and out of that dorm.  Call the College Inn girls what you want, they are still light years ahead of what UH has to offer.   You not only failed academically, but also at the opposite sex.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.
