Not related to UNT in any way, but as a business major I find the death of a company that has gone the way of the buggy whip to be fascinating. Some day, we will all tell our grandkids about polaroids.

The company isn't dead ... yet ... but it seems they are struggling to catch up to the digital age. Kodak on the other hand, has made the transition nicely and has been attacking the print media sector pretty hard.

--The company may not be dead but is struggling and the the technology that made the company famous is now an antique. They have to go in a different direction in other to survive.

---Guess none of the execs attended my classes... LOL... I am always saying that "the world you are born into is not the world that will exist when you die" ....also "if you really want to get rich , figure out where the world is going and get there first (Bill Gates did)" .

---Even for those of us on this board, think what exists now that was not available when we were kids in the first grade. Someone made a fortune making these items. Even more extreme is the fact that my great-uncle was alive and fairly healthy when I graduated from high school (he was about 97 but only 78 when I was born) ... He was born in the final year of the Civil War ...... meanwhile my sons are computer/software engineers. The world is changing and rapidly, you have to adjust or be left behind.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should always try and improve our position when it comes to conference affiliation and over the last few years we have. Sunbelt....Conference USA and now the AAC. We are getting about as high as we can get without being in a P4 conference. Without the right schools the "new" PAC is not the right direction, literally (west) I for one do not want to be in the Big West 2.0. Winning games will be the best way to enhance our position. More money and exposure would be good but the PAC does not even have a media contract.

      It's all leading up to the university's renaming. We're going to be the University of North America.
