Hilarious vintage store commercials from UNT alum Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale’s Gallery Furniture.  

Mattress Mack is very involved with the Houston community as featured in the Texas Country Reporter video below.
Some of us started watching Bob Phillip’s video trips all over Texas when he was employed at Dallas’ Channel 4 (KDFW) & his show back in 1972 was called 4 Country Reporter.  Enjoy.

Does he have any involvement with UNT these days?

If there is I’m sure Smatresk &/or Wren Baker initiated it.  I thought they did pretty good with the 2 families whose names are on the Indoor Practice Facility. Jim just bet almost $5 million on the Bengals.

Some friends of ours invited us to a Texas A&M game.  Right before kick off, a Mattress Mack commercial promoting A&M came on. I pointed and told my wife, “UNT Grad.”  Apparently he’s a big supporter of them? 

Lots of Aggies on the Gulf Coast.  
I worked construction at Dow Chemical (Freeport) one summer & thought Dow was a Texas A&M Experiment Station (of which there was one of those 4 miles from where I grew up between Angleton & Danbury). 
 

TAMU has half a million former students & I’d bet most of them live in Texas.  

 As most on GMG would know McIngvale gave North Texas $1,000,000 toward the Athletic Center.  Wren Baker probably needs $50 million for what I think he wants to do to expand the AC, but at least that part is already built.

As I recall, he was a friend of Dickey and after he was fired; Mattress Mac stopped any NT support.

 

He was upset that DD was fired a few weeks after the coach had had a heart attack.  That’s been so many years ago.

I don’t doubt that it’s smart from the business side of things, it just caught me off guard.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green (I brought them up in a thread a couple days ago, sorry you don't read other posts): 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.
