Tulane (2/8/25)
I understand this point. But I also always seem to disagree with it. At 18-25 years old I don't recall being sore, fatigued, battling my mental psyche in hopes of upcoming rest, etc. Just didn't happen and I don't think it happens for guys that are far and away more athletically gifted and in shape than I ever was. We just, lost. And there are other reasons for it. And if we don't come out and get more active on offense, knock down some early confidence building shots and get our guards going early we may lose again. Tulane is in the 2nd tier of AAC teams, the tier we are trending into. They aren't a slouch... like, uh, utsa. -

Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support
As a student during the time of the first vote, there were a couple of reasons it failed- one of which I would blame RV. When asked to explain exactly how the fee increase would be used to renovate Fouts or build a stadium, he wasn’t able to show a clear vision for it. Those who were skeptical (myself included) would have been more supportive had there been a clear plan. What wasn’t his fault was that the AD was pushing hard for it with students, which created a backlash and riled up the “no” vote. One of the tipping points, as I recall it now in my old age, was an alumni funded publicity campaign in favor of the vote. I think there were table tents or other materials pushing for a yes. I definitely recall people saying that if the alumni wanted it so badly they should pay for it. (And they were correct, but we still don’t.) The hard push on both fronts ran counter to UNT’s rebellious culture. We ended up funding the 2002 increase in the student government at a reduced rate in order to be able to acquire the property across the highway that now houses all our athletics programs. (Most student senators who voted for it got kicked out by angry students, btw) That is likely why the next vote was done as a student initiative, but I would suspect it was coordinated with RV, but I guess we would need @UNTflyer to confirm. -

Should Spring Games be Eliminated
My guess is the cadets there do plenty of sword fighting but probably not the kind you were thinking…- 1

Nice donation to Athletic Center from Coppell Construction Company
Given the nature of the company, I wonder if this could be an in-kind donation and they will take on some aspect of the project? -

'26 RB Offer: Davian Groce; Frisco Lone Star: 4 star - .9819
Almost certainly, but it likely matters in the age of the portal. Early and often “love” from us will probably be remembered more than us being offer 20. It should also be almost automatic that we are first or among the first for DFW top talent.
