Wow. I understand that budgets in legislative years are harder because you really don't know what your final numbers will be. I hope the writer was correct in her take of Dr. B's outburst being a venting of frustration and not a serious comment.

Sounds like those attending laughed it off. It could just be one of those throwaway lines that comes off better in person than when written.

Interesting how the Prez reacts when she doesn't get her way and someone has the nerve to question her! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. She is showing her temper here to the BOR that she has been displaying around campus for some time. But, on campus...she always gets her way! Sort of sounds like that "school yard bully" thing your mother used to tell you about. I am hopeful that her comment was in jest and that the BOR took it that way as UNT does need a strong Prez right now, and love her or hate her, Dr. B is a "strong president" and she seems to get athletics. Besides, with such a weak Lee Jackson around, UNT needs a strong leader. We'll see where this one plays out. But, one must remember, it is usually not in one's best interest to throw down the gauntlet to your bosses unless you are prepared to accept the "or else" you offer!

The board’s facilities committee approved the following Thursday, with a final vote from the full board expected today:

• spreading the Mean Green colors systemwide to UNT’s Dallas and Fort Worth campuses

• inclusion of a storm water retention pond alongside the construction of the new football stadium

Anyone who was at the tent ceremony for the stadium (Spring Game Day).....can attest to the fact that Dr. B is 100% in favor of a strong athletic program. Since I've been here we've had three Presidents that I can say that about: Jitter Nolen, Dr. Pohl and now her.

I hope to God that we keep her. I don't like to take my chances on someone else. How good would it be if we got another Hurley type in here?

Spreading the mean green colors to UNT-Dallas and to Health Science in Fort Worth...does that mean that the UNT-Dallas people are now Mean Green Jaguars?
