Thank you, thank you so much for all your hard work. Things are so much better now than they were before you came here.

I sit here today, 2 days away from turning 21, and a normal student my age would be excited to be able to finally drink legally, however that's not the case, I sit here today excited to watch my team play in the palace they so desperately deserved. My first game was homecoming vs. NMSU in 2004, only 14 years old at the time my mom drove myself and 4 friends to the game, saw Buckles light up a WR coming across the middle and I fell in love. Since then we have all been die-hards, it's been very difficult no doubt with kids my age and trying to explain to them the culture change but we are no doubt a legitimate division 1 university who is, all things considered in my opinion the class of the sun belt. Once you add a winning football program in, we're head and shoulders above the other programs.

From the bottom of my heart, as a die-hard lifer who even bought season tickets this season instead of just getting in free, thank you, thank you so much for bringing us this palace and I can't wait to see the mean green take down Houston.

Sincerely, Jake Wilson & the rest of us.

Oh believe me, I have about 20 people confirmed for the opening game. Students from Tarleton, Tx State, TCU, NCTC, CCCC. Some were hard sells, but I bugged them enough to get a yes.

And my parents who have never been to a game despite living in Aubrey for 53 years will be in my two seats on the alumni side, even bought them hats and shirts for opening day. I'll be over with my friends on the student side going crazy, can not wait for this, it's been a long time coming.

It's the reason why I have 5 season tickets and live in Sarasota Florida. It's the reason the only condition I had when accepting a new position was dates off for UNT games. Couldn't sum it up and better, and that was a heck of a hit, that was my first homecoming as an alumni.

I'll say it for Kram and others as well:

WHY NOT NORTH TEXAS & GMG!

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
