Hmm. I say stay in Denton. We keep saying the stadium would be beneficial to the city, so let's encourage visitors to stay here.

There is a great Days Inn down in Big D. In a beautiful neighborhood called South Oak Cliff. You can even pay by the week. I would recommend it for the team hotel if I were you.

Mean Green,

My father and I will be driving up for the UH game. Any convenient hotel recommendations? Restaurants worth hitting up?

BTW, major congrats on the new stadium/naming rights/donation. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Denton is close enough that the entire DFW area is really available to you. Are you looking primarily at Denton for hotels/restaurants?

I don't know much about hotels so I'll let others handle that

What kind of restaurant are you looking for? I love that Denton has so many hole in the wall, college student oriented, fairly cheap restaurants, but I don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. Are you looking for something nicer than that?

I think I read that Cougar fans were having some sort of shin dig at Rudy's Barbque.

You might try the Holiday Inn & Suites on Centre Place Drive. If you have a chance, check out the local music scene and try some Beth Marie's Ice Cream.

The Best Western Premier on the southside of Denton is REALLY nice (like really... you wouldn't believe it's a Best Western) and they have a UNT rate of $79... you can definitely ask for that!

There is also a nice new Hilton Hotel in Denton. Located off Wind River.

+1 on Beth Marie's, especially on The Square. I'm slowly working my way through every flavor (I've had at least 20), but they keep adding more. I can't recommend the jalapeno flavored though and I'm scared of the bacon flavored.

Some of the local restaurants also carry Beth Marie's. If you see it on the menu, get the Beth Marie's Shiner Bock ice cream. Great stuff. Makes me want to make a Shiner beer float. I haven't tried the Jack and Coke flavored yet. The alcohol flavored ice creams they don't sell at Beth Marie's.

if you can find the old one, you'll find the new Apogee Stadium. there are lots and lots of new hotels in Denton. There's no need to stay out of town for a football weekend in Denton.

Lot's of good places to eat as well. Chain types on the Interstate and unique one of a kind on the historic Denton Square.

Holiday Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, the aforementioned Best Western, Homewood Suites, Hampton that I can think of off the top of my head. I'd stay in any of them. Apogee Stadium is about 1 or 2 miles south on I-35E (Just before 35E and 35W come together).

Denton is a fun friendly town. you'll have a good time here. Welcome. Joe

I was going to mention this. I know it sounds funny, but this Best Western is real nice.

Where is the stadium in relationship to your old one?

Right across the Interstate. Don't know for sure which exit you'll be able to use. I'd guess that it's North Texas Blvd. on the north side of I-35E and they'll shuttle you back to the stadium. Eventually there'll be a sky bridge from old Fouts to Apogee Stadium.

I have been told that there is no shuttle service. You gotta walk it.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      as of 1/24, here are Lunardi's (who I hate) bubble teams and their resumes: UNT - 15-4, 6-1 AAC, 46 NET, 0-3 Quad 1 games Last 4 In - - Pitt - 13-6, 4-4 ACC, 34 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - San Diego St. - 13-5, 6-3 MWC, 42 NET, 3-3 Quad 1 games - Ohio State - 11-8, 3-5 BIG, 29 NET, 3-6 Quad 1 games - Texas - 14-6, 3-6 SEC, 32 NET, 3-5 Quad 1 games Last 8 Out - - Nebraska - 12-8, 2-7 BIG, 63 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Indiana - 14-7, 5-5 BIG, 68 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Cincinnati - 12-7, 2-6 Big 12, 48 NET, 0-6 Quad 1 games - SMU - 15-5, 6-3 ACC, 44 NET, 0-4 Quad 1 games - VCU - 16-4, 6-1 A10, 45 NET, 0-1 Quad 1 games - Arizona St. - 11-8, 2-6 Big 12, 59 NET, 2-7 Quad 1 games - Xavier - 13-8, 5-5 Big East, 55 NET, 1-6 Quad 1 games - Wake Forrest - 15-5, 7-2 ACC, 71 NET, 1-5 Quad 1 games it's pretty tough to make the argument that our resume is better than any of those Last 4 In as things stand...especially as all 4 will have more Quad 1 games throughout the rest of the year. that said, I think we're pretty damn comparable with those next 8 schools. we'll almost certainly only have one more potential Quad 1 game...and that'd be a neutral site re-match with Memphis, which ideally is for the auto-bid. this just more and more underscores how we need to be doing so much more in our non-con scheduling. I'd say there's a path, but it's quite slim. this projection also only has one MVC and one A-10 program in...which seems ridiculous...and the path in get's even tighter should there be a few conference tourney upsets. keep winning, hope Memphis keeps winning as well and hopefully we're cutting nets in Ft. Worth and this whole conversation is moot

      Florida Atlantic (1/26/25)

      The two requisites, as I see it, for us to make progress in attendance, revenue, and community support is an AD who is both ebullient and creative. We currently have an AD who is diametrically neither. In my memory the only leader we have ever had who possessed those qualities was Hayden Fry.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      It's a real problem that needs real solutions. All we can do as alum to fix this awful attendance issue is just bitch and moan. But it's a serious problem that I feel didn't have to happen and could be resolved.

      Um, who's "you"? Do you mean UNT beat UH in basketball? Or, finding this guy in the parking lot of a tourney game? If the former, let's not get carried away. If the latter, God Speed.
