Darden is a true treasure.  Hope he gets a very nice contract.  God didn’t we enjoy watching that guy play football?
🎶Celebrate good times—come on! 🎶

Here is the last one from UNT to be on an NCAA D-1 (FBS) All American team best I can recollect.  Mean Joe is the only African American on the team.  *What an honor for an honorable guy. 

🦅🇺🇸🦅 Thanks Dr. J.C. Matthews for integrating a traditionally Caucasian university in Texas (circa, 1956?) albeit should have been done in 1890. Also special thanks to (then) UNT Coaches Odus Mitchell, Herb Ferrell, Fred McCain, Ken Bahnsen & others.

••• In the photo is Playboys 1968 All American defense & I think NFL scouts helped to pick that team. In fact, I believe I heard Gil Brandt say that on local radio.

      I hope SMU loses by 47

      So who are we? If I look at UNT objectively on this age of NIL I do some of the things we are doing: 1. Get a coach who plays entertaining football. 2. Sell the location and opportunity to display your craft, expertise. I’m talking coaches and players. Be the machine that develops and gets you access. 3. Get a businessman who negotiates deals and hob nobs with AAC brass. Keep us in a top league that keeps its members performing. What’s missing: 1. Institutional drive beyond the hires. We’re talking a collaborative push from inside the house to make the sports scene rock for students, alumni who car and the community. 2. A strong DC to make the entertaining football more palatable. We may have closed this gap. Time will tell. 3. A strong Alumni Association connected and firing on all cylinders. I have no idea what is happening here. Feels disconnected broken in transition. 4. A band that is dialed into Gameday experience creation. Love some of the things they do but they seem to do what they want to do versus being integrated into the program plan. 5. Event outreach to the community. Denton is only getting bigger. It will not be old Denton no matter how strong it tries to hold on. So it seems like we are making some progress but we’re inside the fish bowl. We need to praise what is being done well and fire and hire on the points missed right now. Jared strikes me as a good businessman and business people know how to make tough decisions. People on alert know they are on alert. The key stakeholder here is our new president. Who is he? I’m not sure yet. He could be assessing. He could be plotting. He could be cruising. We’ll find out. Keep progressing. GMG
