Team Appreciation Party

[CMJ]

Anyone going today?  If so, have fun for the rest of us.

I will be there and keep an eye on Denton participation...I am not optimistic.

Wish I lived closer. Hoping for a good turnout.

Agree with both of these sentiments.

It was a great turnout. I'm guessing 500-600. Anyway....the area that it was in....was jam packed.

Abou and Tylor were both there. Tylor, Kai, Rubin and Aaron all spoke. There was no surprise "I'm staying" comment from Tylor....but he and Abou both got nice rounds of applause.

The women's golf team was there...and they're awesome. So is Coach Akers.

And one final thing............WAIT TIL YOU GET A LOAD OF THE MEAN GREEN FIRE TRUCK. Coolest thing I've seen in years. Someone will post photos I'm sure.

unpopular opinion.....eastside is overrated.  if you are the pretentious, fancy, random ass beer guy, it is a great spot...but a regular guy that just wants a beer, no thanks

 

their patio/outside area is probably the best in town

I’m a John Williams fan.  The service at his bars just blows everywhere else out.

Same. Frequent all of his establishments regularly. 

[FirefightnRick]

I don’t recall the City of Denton ever making such a single vibrant commitment to support North Texas more than this.  And hats off to Ryan Peck and all involved for nailing the color spot on.   Absolutely bad ass!

Not gonna lie, the city rarely makes supportive moves like this. This has potential.

For those able to attend, what was the composition of the crowd...mostly students, alums, community members?

I love most of what I see. You think they’d ever bring back Fry Street Fair?

Thor is not a craft beer guy so I feel like he should preface by saying that.
