We all should be thanking the following for his support. He actually gets it and understands the overall ramifications:

Warren Burggren, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, was among those who spoke in favor of the fee that would be used to build a venue that would seat 32,000 to 35,000. The stadium would be built outside of the Mean Green Athletic Center.

"Athletics is a way to reach out to people," Burggren said. "Every Saturday when we have a tailgate party on behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences, we raise $2,000-$3,000 for scholarships and more importantly we get the ear of people."

Warren needs to visit every class in the College of Arts & Sciences and have a five minute discussion with them regarding this.

      No one knows the specifics of the deal, it's not public knowledge. People are waiting for this year's tax returns so they can see the public data that shows how much each school made, and then see how much it changes over the next few years. So unfortunately all we know is that by the end of the contract everyone will be making the same amount, and that's it.

      Sissoko has just been a different player in conference and I'm here for it. Lorient of course was MVP, but Massie and Floyd need some props for coming through this game. We really need for them to give us 6-8 points a game consistently and we are going to be looking good. Horrible foul call on Walker on that 3. Also they need to change the rules where you can't move your arm into a defenders hands that are already there to create contact for a foul, that's absurd. You can't even stand there as a defender? It needs to end.

      Temple (1/22/25)

      I don’t want to be that guy, but we have a good crowd for a great game and our defense was pretty much amazing all night. How do you sit in your hands and not get into the game? My wife and dogs thought I was crazy watching at home cheering on the good guys. I just don’t get it. The Pit should have been rocking. Students looked great, @greenjoe and I believe @Matt from A700 from shown a few times up and active along with others, but overall our crowd had got to get loud. I was never a fan of how NBA announcers cue the crowds but we may need to get Rob Coffee to start some “D-Fense” chants.

      Lorient’s Career Game Propels Mean Green To 76-67 Win Over Temple

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team remained undefeated at home with a 76-67 win over Temple Wednesday night in a battle between two teams atop the American Athletic Conference standings. Brenen Lorient recorded his first career double-double, scoring 20 points, which tied his career high and grabbing a career-high 13 rebounds and finishing with a career-high five blocks. Lorient has now put up double-digit scoring in five consecutive contests, where he's averaged 17.6 points per game and shot 62.8 percent from the field (27-43). With the win North Texas (14-4, 5-1) now holds the outright lead in the AAC. UNT and Temple (12-7, 4-2) were tied at 4-1 entering the day. "Home court advantages in basketball are real and I think our team felt it," head coach Ross Hodge said of the crowd and UNT student section. "[The game] was about what I expected — I have a ton of respect for Temple and respect for what coach [Adam] Fisher has built there." The Mean Green defense held strong on the night, holding the Owls to their fewest points scored in conference and fewest since Dec. 18 against Davidson. Temple's Jamal Mashburn Jr., who entered Wednesday 12th in the nation in scoring and averaging more than 20 points per game, was held in check by the Mean Green defense, going 5-23 from the floor and finishing with 16 points. Following Lorient in points on Wednesday for UNT was Johnathan Massie who finished with 13 points along with Jasper Floyd and Moulaye Sissoko who each scored 12 points. Sissoko extended his double-digit scoring streak to three games, the longest such streak of his career. The Mean Green continue their brief home stand on Sunday as they host Florida Atlantic. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m. at the Super Pit. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu.
