They mentioned on one of the videos or photo albums posted on the athletic website that they will be installing pre-fab concrete sections for the lower bowl either this week or next. Probably has something to do with that.

I noticed last Saturday that there were a large number of precast concrete thingies marshaled in a field across Bonnie Brae from the stadium. I couldn't decided where they might be utilized.

I would bet this is the crane that will be used to lift the pre-fab concrete pieces that will be placed on the rackers on the West stands. I would assume that the lower bowl will be poured not pre-fab, but that is just a guess.

You are correct. This quote from an 8/20/10 blog on the meangreensports.com site

"In the next week or so keep an eye out for another crane arriving on the site. Shortly after the crane is ready to go crews will begin to hoist precast concrete onto the west side rakers. "

      He made two amazing basketball coaching hires.

      That is actually a pretty fun idea. Both Wren and RV were more of a “sales” guy than Jared, who seems like an “operations” guy. That is fine, but you need to hire someone else to be that sales person who promotes the program and builds excitement for the program. Jared has made some homerun hires in basketball, but is it still a homerun if no one is there to see it?

      I am not being belligerent here, just simply asking, but what has Jared done for you to be pro-Jared?

      I’m not making excuses. I’m disgusted by it. It is a hell of a product and I can’t believe people aren’t showing up to see it. They are missing out. There are a lot of creative ideas you could try to fill that place up. I’ve been pretty pro-Jared since his hire, but this is a pretty embarrassing flaw and ultimately he is the one getting paid the most to make the athletic program succeed. And good attendance is part of that success.

      Yeah, it's been downright pathetic marketing. Jared should be questioned about this on a public forum, like X. It's not even a team thing anymore. This PROGRAM deserves 5k a night. It doesn't matter if they're playing Denton High. The program has earned my respect. I love everything they do, the pace they play, the players they're able to nab. We're basically running the double flex in basketball and it's working and has been working for almost a decade. As for your idea, I like it. Also, students and old folks love free stuff. Buy 5K worth of $400 TV's and give one away every home game via drawing. And for the love of me, will SOMEONE get the greeks actually interested in UNT athletics?!?! Students like free tuition. A diehard would love to 'cup a coffee with coach' A diehard would like 'lunch with a player' The problem as I have observed over the years will always be the problem. To my knowledge, there is not a good % of UNT people working for UNT. Get UNT people back to UNT. And UNT might be the best version of itself. Until then, we are a revolving door for people trying to stepping stone us.
