The Denia neighborhood needs to be disbanded, they are a bunch of residents with too much time on their hands.

The Denia bunch is proposing to the city to allow inspections of all rental properties in the City of Denton, requiring the city to inspect every property before it is rented to students or families in Denton. As a property manager I woul have to pay a inspection fee, plus possibly lose prospective tenants each time a property comes avaialbe for rent. Considering that Denton is a college town and there are alot of rental properties in Denton this would cause alot of tension for property owners and tenants alike.

Seriously.....I cant wait until we move into our new stadium and these residents get to hear the sounds of BOOMER everytime we score a TD, FG, or Safety, lol....

Why don't we all buy houses in the Denia neighborhood and take over their group? Not only would we stop their opposition to everything, we'd be in walking distance of the stadium!

I'm only half-joking...

Yeah, but I'm not sure most of the people on this board would want to buy houses in that neighborhood. Drive through it sometime. Yuck. I can't figure out what it is that they're trying to defend.

I live on the edge on Denia. Some of those properties are very nice.

I'd be more concerned living next to some of you. And all your guns.

I grew up in Stony Brook, across LI sound from where you are now. As they say, "I got to Texas as quick as I could". I don't have any guns - yet...

It used to be a dream of mine to move back to Denton and commute to Dallas or FW. I think that dream is gone. Maybe now I can retire in Denton. I've already got the house picked out.

Channel 5 last night. Denton: We want a hotel too.

There was a good video on this report last night, but I can't find it on NBC5i.com's website anywhere?

This makes so much sense for all concerned that it is ludicrous that there is even a question about it. The city will receive many times over its investment just in the form of sales tax and hotel occupancy tax. Not to mention the exposure that the conference center brings with speakers and conventioneers from all over the country and for that fact the world. Only the selfish and very shortsighted could oppose this. You have to wonder who the Harlan Crow of Denton is? Any other metroplex suburb would be jumping on this opportunity. Denton can't afford to be passed over again for more progressive metroplex cities---it may be the last chance for Denton to prove it really wants to be an active part of the DFW region.

Watch out, Hillsboro and Waxahachie are passing us by.

It used to be a dream of mine to own a house...any house. This was unachievable in California unless I wanted a $400.000 1 bedroom, 600 sf condo across the street from my rodent infested, bars on the window gangland apartment. So I moved to Texas. Now I'm living in Frisco. Since I started going to UNT, I can honestly say the the only money the city of Frisco has gotten out of me is in property taxes. I don't shop, eat, buy gas, watch movies, or anything within city limits. Going to Denton every day makes this possible. I can't stand this prefab image town, and hope to make the move across the lake some day.

Don't know about Hillsboro, but just ask former UNT FB player and former Regent Chuck Beatty who is also former Mayor of Waxahachie and you'll find that much smaller suburb has been much more progressive than Denton with a new convention center, etc.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
