What you are looking at in that picture is the current Willis library mall. That is where the old stadium was located. When I was an undergrad in the late '60's, the track was still there.

---The track was still there in 1966 when I graduated but was gone by 1971 when I was working on a masters, the new library was open and finished.. There was still a partial rock ticket booth between the ad building and the music building as late as 1975 near a driveway.

The part of the service road that curves around the NW corner of the library is a remnant of the track. They just paved over it.

When I was in High School, we attended a spring UIL band contest at North Texas. I think it was either the spring of 65 or 66. During a break, we stood out on the back porch of the old Lab School and watched the spring Greek Olympics. The track was fully intact then, as were the west stands.

Here's a better photo of the track before the library was built there. Can you imagine how cool it would have been had someone thought ahead to keep the stadium in the middle of campus much like Nebraska's is today?

The information sciences building (ISB). Some of the old library "stacks" are still there.

That is what I thought too ... It isn't nearly as impressive as it was when it was new.

I found this site a few months back while looking for something else. Found a picture of my roommate in '72-'73 and a picture of the Radio-TV-Film Club members. I can't figure out why I'm not in it. I must have had class or work or something when it was taken. Wonder where they are now.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      as of 1/24, here are Lunardi's (who I hate) bubble teams and their resumes: UNT - 15-4, 6-1 AAC, 46 NET, 0-3 Quad 1 games Last 4 In - - Pitt - 13-6, 4-4 ACC, 34 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - San Diego St. - 13-5, 6-3 MWC, 42 NET, 3-3 Quad 1 games - Ohio State - 11-8, 3-5 BIG, 29 NET, 3-6 Quad 1 games - Texas - 14-6, 3-6 SEC, 32 NET, 3-5 Quad 1 games Last 8 Out - - Nebraska - 12-8, 2-7 BIG, 63 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Indiana - 14-7, 5-5 BIG, 68 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Cincinnati - 12-7, 2-6 Big 12, 48 NET, 0-6 Quad 1 games - SMU - 15-5, 6-3 ACC, 44 NET, 0-4 Quad 1 games - VCU - 16-4, 6-1 A10, 45 NET, 0-1 Quad 1 games - Arizona St. - 11-8, 2-6 Big 12, 59 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Xavier - 13-8, 5-5 Big East, 55 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Wake Forrest - 15-5, 7-2 ACC, 71 NET, 1-5 Quad 1 games it's pretty tough to make the argument that our resume is better than any of those Last 4 In as things stand...especially as all 4 will have more Quad 1 games throughout the rest of the year. that said, I think we're pretty damn comparable with those next 8 schools. we'll almost certainly only have one more potential Quad 1 game...and that'd be a neutral site re-match with Memphis, which ideally is for the auto-bid. this just more and more underscores how we need to be doing so much more in our non-con scheduling. I'd say there's a path, but it's quite slim. this projection also only has one MVC and one A-10 program in...which seems ridiculous...and the path in get's even tighter should there be a few conference tourney upsets. keep winning, hope Memphis keeps winning as well and hopefully we're cutting nets in Ft. Worth and this whole conversation is moot

      Florida Atlantic (1/26/25)

      The two requisites, as I see it, for us to make progress in attendance, revenue, and community support is an AD who is both ebullient and creative. We currently have an AD who is diametrically neither. In my memory the only leader we have ever had who possessed those qualities was Hayden Fry.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      It's a real problem that needs real solutions. All we can do as alum to fix this awful attendance issue is just bitch and moan. But it's a serious problem that I feel didn't have to happen and could be resolved.

      Um, who's "you"? Do you mean UNT beat UH in basketball? Or, finding this guy in the parking lot of a tourney game? If the former, let's not get carried away. If the latter, God Speed.
