Expectations have never been higher for the UNT athletic department, but in college athletics there is never room for complacency. Investment in new facilities, like the one UNT recently completed for its football, track & field and soccer teams, reinforce the health of the department.

“One tangible way to see that the University is committed to the development of the student athlete is through facilities,” Baker said.

According to Baker, there are more than 300 high schools in Texas that have indoor practice facilities on their campus, so matching the experience recruits are accustomed to is important. The recently built Lovelace and McNeely Families Practice Facility is a step towards achieving this.

I'm not a fan of the "What if?" game but if you would have asked "What if you have to put up with a few more years of RV but you get Wren, would you?" I would've said yes. 

And yes, I was a little impatient thru the first six months of WB but I'm pretty damn happy now. 

Keep him, please.

I still can't get over how the fans weren't up in arms more about RV's scheduling philosophy.  Thank God Wren's is radically different. RV made it nearly impossible for us to succeed.

Were we able to shed body bag games because of the increase in student fees?
