in all honesty... within the city of Denton, the cities best talent hasnt really panned out ... outside of Jarvis Moss and Herman Johnson, none of the highly recruited guys out of DISD schools have made it into the NFL... UNT has several alums in the NFL!!!! if they dont feel a sense of pride in playing for your home city, then go ahead and get on the road son we wont missin ya!!!

.... On top of that Jarvis and Herman were being recruited by the likes of LSU, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma... not sure we' ever have a shot at getting any of those kinds of recruits. But their are other recruits in the 2-4 star range who we could get but dont for whatever reasons... not to say some of those guys dont have good reasons but for the most part DISD athletes shun the U of NT...

Point being who cares if these kids choose Stillwater, SMU, Ruston or Monroe over there home town. We dont need them... I have a list of DISD athletes who thought they were too good to go to UNT but now live back in town and you see on Fry St gettin drunk...

You can get good football players all over the country. 3 highschools arent gonna hurt us in the big picture...

I don't know about that. We damn sure need their families and friends. Start getting the local kids interested and involved, and over time you'd have the coveted "community" support that we long for.

Isn't Anthony Aldridge still in the NFL ?

he was cut by several NFL teams and now plays for the CFL Toronto Argonauts... of course just like every DISD athlete he chose to leave his hometown...

their friends and families dont give a damn about UNT... they will root for whatever school their boy goes too... La Tech, SMU, TCU, Houston,etc.... im just stating the obvious, ive lived in Denton my whole life so i kinda have a feel for how Dentonites percive UNT...

When a Denton athlete chooses to sign with La Tech or ULM i take that as a slap in the face... and its happend...many many many times

so after seeing this go down for the past decade ive come to the conclusion... screw em we dont need em...

What Denton athletes have signed with ULM or La Tech in the last five years? I can think of one and that is Hook from Denton Ryan that has verbally committed to La Tech this year. Sure they are going to support the school their child attends, it is part of being a parent. I don't think Aldridge was even contacted by NT prior to signing with Houston.

Denton and North Texas have an odd relationship, but every D1 talent at DHS, Ryan and Guyer should be contacted by North Texas and I would expect McCarney will make sure of this in the future.

      Tulsa (3/14/25)

      What did you pay? I thought individual sessions would be $20-25, and now I'm seeing resale tickets via AAC website for < $10.

      UNT enrollment declining

      I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.

      Speakeasy Scrappy Hour

      Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.

      Coach O to Texas State

      Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.
