I have started a thread on our message board HERE asking for things to do, places to see, etc.

I have never been to Denton, and it looks like a very good possibility we'll be driving out this weekend.

There should be several of us coming.

Thanks in advance !

El Gaupo's has the best mexican food in Denton, maybe in DFW. It's right off Elm St. by the square. But just the sqaure in general has a lot to do. Usually good bands playing at Andy's Bar. Great ice cream at Beth Marie's.

Well it's about damn time. Of course you would come when I'm spending my entire game day afternoon over at the kids zone. Emmitt still sets up on the south end of the Blue lot though, that is if Lera let him have his man card back after their trip to New York two weeks ago to attend a wedding. Tell him to call me if and when y'all get over there.

Wow..

I assure you there are many better Mexican restaurants out there in the DFW area. As for Denton, I would prefer El Matador's anyday, but thats just me :)

El Guapo (the man, not the restaurant) has been a frequent poster here on GOMEANGREEN.COM. I appreciate what he (the restaurant) does for North Texas. El Guapo's is just a block or so south of the historic Denton Square.

Also near the Square, Sweetwater, site of the Coach's show Monday nights, and Burgundy's, more upscale dining, next to the Campus Theater one block West of the Square.

I prefer Mazatlan's for my Mexican food, but El Matador is a good close second.

BBQ - Smokehouse just off I-35 on 377

Italian - Guisseppe's Locust street just north of the square

Bugers - Denton Independent Hamburger on the square, but is not open late. I think it closes at 7 pm on weekdays and 2 or 3 pm on Saturday.

It is not "official" yet. Still waiting on a couple of things to happen. But, you are right, it's about time I got my arse to Denton. I have not missed a helluva lot up until last year-- from MT's point of view.

Is "Soundman" still around?

I will 2nd you on Mazatlan's for Mexican food. If you want a BIG burrito go to Hooyas! It is right by the campus.

I have heard, do not know for a fact, that Denton and Murfreesboro are similar cities.......both with a nice downtown area and county square, both with big racetracks nearby, both being near large metro areas, both fighting to get pub over the BC$ programs in their respective states, both growing areas, etc.

Ah, you and Emmitt have more in common than I think either of you realize. Don't tell me,......her sisters baby shower? Or, you just simply haven't told her yet?

LOL!

Have a safe trip regardless. Look forward to seeing you again.

Thanks for the rec's guys .

I have posted these on our message board.

Unfortunately, my sorry arse won't be able to make it. Trip fell through-- we were driving (wife had given me the OK, however).

So now I get to spend most of the day Saturday at the Nashville Flea Market with her---- joy, joy :angry:

If you are looking for the best in fine authentic Mexican dining, try Pancho's Mexican Buffet just south of the stadium.

Unless you are just looking to support a UNT alum that bought the chain and trying to turn it around ...

Hey, here in Euless, we're supposed to be sitting on top of that gas field called the "Barnett Shale". But, I don't think it's any coincidence that there's a Pancho's right in the middle of where that "natural gas" is supposed to be.

Ok, this is a little off topic but since we're talking about food... is there a real smokehouse around Denton that makes or sells REAL beef jerky, not the bagged stuff you get at grocery stores?

      Regarding scoring and end of game offense, I do like that we haxe options on clutch times versus the whole arena and defense knowing it was Edwards shooting.

      I felt like they were built on Scott and Jones who stayed with us through thick and thin. Yes Perry came and had quick success before running away, but he did have more consistency than I felt we have had the last two season. Stone and Sissoko are the only guys who have stuck it out and honestly neither are top caliber. We are full of juniors and seniors who will be one and done it seems.

      Would be interesting to see their offense vs our defense.

      Honest tactical question here…

      Morris has his scheme and identity. I think its a big reason we've had so much offensive success the last two year and I don't want him to change it. BUTTTTTTTT I do think he needs to improve his situational awareness and I'll give 3 examples... 1. Late in the FAU game we broke the 34 yard run to get to the FAU 5 with 1:43 left...at this point the clock is on our side and we should run it down and force FAU to burn their timeouts. But instead, Morris has us run to the line and snap the ball before any time can run after they reset the chains. Luckily, FAU stuffed us and eventually burned their timeouts and we scored with 58 seconds left. But imagine if we scored after the big run and gave FAU the ball back with 1:40 and 2 timeouts? Who would feel good about our chances stopping them then??? 2. Our defense shocks everyone and forces Tulane to punt on their first drive. Tulane then executes a great punt and downs it at the 6. We then come out and throw a pass for -1 yards, no huddle and quickly throw an incomplete pass, and on 3rd down its another incomplete pass. So, we're forced to punt the ball from our own 5 yard line after only having the ball for about 25 seconds. Evans has a measly 39 yard punt and 7 plays later Tulane scores a TD. IMO, its a prime example of Morris not understanding the situation and putting his defense right back on the field in a tough spot. Instead of quickly snapping after the -1 yard loss, we should have slowed down and made sure we called the best play to get us a first down. 3. And like others have said, it PISSES me off he refuses to run QB sneaks under center when we need less than a yard. You can make the case its a big reason we lost to Navy last year and it cost us this year against Army. I'd much rather Chandler Morris fall forward for a foot than snap it back 5 yards and hand it to our 5th string RB. There are other teams like us that strictly run shotgun, but are still able to lineup under center and fall forward. The only reason we don't is Coach Morris' ego.
