some of you may be familiar with Michael Gruber aka "Grubes" - former ticket personality who now attends unt.

grubes is well known for live tweeting during ranger games. recently, someone on twitter said he should live tweet from UNT basketball next season and grubes replied and said that he would.

something to keep an eye out for next season.

Grubes could be a real good spokesperson for us. Glad to know he is attending UNT.

be a better spokeperson if he was still actually at The Ticket, and The Ticket would be even better.

I wonder if Grubes went to Freshmen orientation.

Anyone who has 19k followers and live tweeting from our basketball games is good for this program, on air or not.

And... I hate twitter.

Don't think he would be there since he started classes in the summer and he's coming in as a sophomore I think (he started at smu).

Yep he started at SMU. Both his parents went there and he's from HP. From what I've heard him say on the radio he didn't go back there because it didn't quite fit his scene.

That suprises me cause I see him at mutual watering holes and he looks the part...except for how loud he is when he drinks.

Interesting. Didn't realize SMU kids wear giveaway t-shirts, basketball shorts, and flip flops. The ones I always deal with wear Croakies, pastel-colored shirts, and boat shoes. But I can't really argue with the "loud drinker" part. :w00t:

Also- Didn't go to freshman orientation, but was at the transfer orientation in June. Go Mean Green!

Does he hang in Denton or down in Dallas? Also any idea of his major?

Pretty much exclusively Denton since I moved up here a few months ago. Lou's and Oak St. Drafthouse FTW!

Right now I'm technically pre-RTVF, but will likely switch to business soon. Seems kinda silly to do RTVF when I so thoroughly dominated radio for a decade. Wink.

Good choice leaving RTVF Grubes. It's a fine program, but it feels like it's intended more for those who don't know anything about the industry, and are starting from scratch. A radio powerhouse as yourself needs to take on new challenges. Good luck with your bottom.

And just so this is justified being in this thread. Yes, Mean Green Basketball! Tony Mitchell! Scoreboards, new practice facilities, and all kinds of other things!

Damn, I was looking forward to hearing you intro Count Basie tunes on KNTU.

Seriously, speaking as a RTVF alum, what you'll learn in that program will pale in comparison to your vast radio knowledge. You have more relevant experience in the business than the professors do.

This was my experience as well. I ended up leaving rtvf for business.

If the value/end game of getting a degree is getting you an interview/ job, you've already accomplished it.

RTVF is a fine program... but, they don't seem to want or respect any students coming in knowing something. Very unfortunate.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
