I would like to extend an invitation to all Talons Alumni to attend out 50th Anniversary celebration.

"Talons, the official spirit and service organization of UNT invites Talons alumni to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Dinner is scheduled along with the completion of the Bonfire build on October 23,2008 at 6:23 p.m. outside the Athletics Center. RSVP to the Talons President @ Michael.Maher@unt.edu"

We will provide dinner on the patio of the Athletic center and will have guest speakers as well as a video on our history and future.

I understand many of you have different feelings towards the organization, but let's set that aside for this celebration. Much has changed especially in the past two years, and much more is too come.

Thank You

Michael Maher

Michael, thanks for putting this together. I'll be there. Will any other invitation materials be sent out? Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Pledge class 1977 (I think...I'll have to check my bell :D )

Working on the final details for those interested.

This is a casual event, and if the bonfire needs a hand to finish you are welcome to help complete the build.

More details to come.

I really, really, really would like to be there but it doesn't look like it's going to work out. Too many other things that were already on the schedule, including travel plans. This will, also, be the 2nd bonfire I've missed since 1986 (last year was the 1st, after we moved). I am so bummed that two years in a row, October has not been a good month for returning to see the Mean Green and, especially, this year with the anniversary! Darn! If something changes, I will do my best to get back but don't count on it this year. I hope I or we can make it next year. Best of luck and hoping for a super turnout!!!!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
