George was one of my inspirations for this site as I found him many years ago discussing North Texas Athletics on an AOL message board. Back then, as today - I found him to be highly intelligent and knowledgeable in all matters relating to UNT and life in general. He has given generously of his time and money to support this program even when it was on life support. I cannot think of another fan who is more deserving to witness the opening of this new stadium. George, happy birthday my friend and thank you for your years of dedication and service to the cause. GMG!

Happy birthday, George. I remember you from as far back as 1956 so I know that you didn't just fall off of a turnip truck. I'm pretty sure that basketball is your true passion but you've always been loyal with your money, time, and attendance to both sports and academics. As they say, I wish that we had thousands more like you but that would be extremely difficult for any university. I wish you the best on your birthday and all of your days to follow.

I met George through Harry's original fan message board. George didn't know me from adam, yet graciously invited me up to Denton for a UNT basketball game. Lot of fun. For those that don't know him, he's very knowledgeable in all things related to UNT Sports. And he's was/is a pretty damn good CPA too! We may need a nickname for him- the Dean of UNT Sports, or better yet, The Soothsayer. Like someone else mentioned, George predicted the outcome of the Dodge hire before the ink was dry on the contract.

Happy birthday, George. I'm proud to call you my friend.

      Denton, America ???

      I kinda like that. The University of North Texas. THE University of Dallas-Ft Worth. If that school in University Parks can brand itself “Dallas”, perhaps we could claim to be the school representing the entire D-FW region.

      Athletic Center Expansion Plans

      My question is why can't we do a smaller version of what Ok. St. did? Emphasis on the smaller here. Why is there a large gap underneath the expansion in the 2nd phase renderings? The expansion just hangs in the air over nothing. There is a lot of valuable space to the sides, underneath, and vertically that you could take advantage of.

      Interesting

      Mask up dumbass. Did you fail to read during your college career? Probably taught you to believe everything shoveled your direction in spite of the stench. I knew this would stir you two up. So predictable with your childish insults and other BS. I love your link. Should have just link NIH and Fauci's comments along with the WHO since they have all proven so reliable. How about reading the link I provided. Some interesting topics include: (page # & Topic) 198: social distancing 203-212: Masks and mask mandates 214-218: Lockdowns 300: Other "off-label" treatments 336-347: Vaccine mandates; more harm than good 349-354: Adverse events due to the vaccine 357-364: Vaxx injuries Funny how I posted the link and titled it "Interesting" and you two immediately respond as normal, insults and name calling. As stated above, so predictable.

      Athletic Center Expansion Plans

      Agreed. Looks cheap and half-assed. Seems weird, but sometimes an end-zone complex can make or break the overall feel of a stadium. This one breaks it. I always thought the original placement of the athletic center in relation to the stadium was odd and was going to be problematic for any meaningful improvement. Maybe the architects were given instructions to keep the windows (AD/Coaches offices?) with a view of the field? If this is it, I'd just leave it the way it is until it can be done right/better.

      Where would you place the scoreboard if you remove it from there?
