There is a significant grass fire close to University Drive and Interstate 35. Northbound Interstate 35 is closed just north of the I-35 E/W split; southbound I35 is closed at Highway 380.

Denton Municipal Electric is experiencing significant problems caused by the wind; the UNT Research Park, Library Annex, and Eagle Point have all experienced intermittent outages.

A grass fire just west of Denton has caused heavy smoke around the University of North Texas forcing the closure of a portion of Interstate 35 and part of U.S. Highway 380. The fire had not threatened any buildings, so far, fire officials said shortly after noon. Fire departments in Sanger, Pilot Point, Little Elm, and Corinth are fighting grass fires near those cities.

High winds also were causing scattered power outages throughout Denton on Tuesday afternoon, but it was not immediately clear how many homes and businesses were affected. Denton Municipal Electric issued a statement on its Web site saying all available crews were working to restore electricity as soon as possible. Online: www.dmepower.com.

Now's our chance! Fan those flames towards Fouts Field. Concrete will eventually collapse if it gets hot long enough, and those aluminum seats will be history too. :shifty:

FirefightnRick can you weigh in on this.

Somebody run up there and throw some gas on the stadium.

I guess there might just be a high enough fuel load in the bathrooms to sustain enough fire/heat to weaken the tensile strength of the concrete to get some spalling and collapse. Just need enough in the right places... :)

Although it might be more likely the gases in the bathroom will cause an explosion and blow out a good chunk of the stadium.

Ignition of gases from the Fouts restrooms, with subsequent chain explosions would cause major damage to the entire Greater Denton region.

Did Fouts burn down yet??

Can someone please park a tanker full of diesel under the grand stands?

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      If we can't fire Morris because we negotiated a horrible contract, then how about firing Mosley who created this mess? It's hard for people to recognize and admit they made a mistake and do what's necessary to clean it up. They usually hold on too long and hope that their guy can turn things around and prove all the nay-sayers wrong and waste another year or two. Get rid of the guy that created the mess and let the new guy clean it up since they have no skin in the previous decision.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      So Charlotte and FAU are Texas A&M? Quick Google search shows our athletic budget is $49.7 million, FAU's is about $32.8 million, Temple's (also fired their coach) is about $33 million, and Charlotte's is about $39 million. They could all fire their coaches but we can't? Unrelated but they all have baseball but we don't. Funny how others do things we can't afford despite us having a bigger budget. Even without the donors, our budget $10 million more than those schools. I'm sure we can find the money to fire the guy.

      Temple Spread Right Now

      While family will be back home and students and fans will be out of town enjoying the Holliday this game will come down to who wants to be somewhere else less. Rick

      Or you think that the NIL is horse crap....and that schools like us, are wasting our time "keeping up with the Joneses." It's past time for the dumbass ADs of the G5s to get together and break off from the big boys. That's what Moseley should be doing, IMHO. Wanna know the difference? SMU put out word that they needed big $$. They had in about a week....four $10 million donors, thirty eight $1 million donors....and 80+ more that gave six figure donations. We've been raising money for the AC for several years now....and finally have around $5 million raised so they can start on Phase 1 (now a $10 million project). We'll never be in the CFP playoff. Ain't happening. So either trying to get with the G5s and doing something sensible....or going down to FCS, makes much more sense than what we're doing right now.
