Where do you live/family: Denton, Engaged, Family is from Houston, they live in New York now

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: BFA English, Fall 2013 graduation, going to continue at UNT for graduate school

Favorite NT Memory: Probably will be graduating, but being a student ambassador and really getting to share my love of UNT with new/potential students, or trying to traverse to Kerr during the snowpocalypse and being confused (I'm from Houston), the terrible Clark Hall, maybe...my RA getting kicked out freshman year for getting drunk on his 21st and banging on all the doors of his wing "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY GUYS!" at 1 am.

Favorite NT Sports Memory: The atmosphere in the first half of the Houston game at Apogee, and rushing the field versus Indiana

Where do you live/family: Los Angeles, CA/Live with my brother who also moved to LA to chase the entertainment industry

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: BA in RTVF/2001 graduate

Favorite NT Memory: Probably building Bonfire in Talons

Favorite NT Sports Memory: Is this something that I was in attendance for? If so, probably the football win over Utah State in 1997 when there were like five lead changes in the last two and half minutes. That was a crazy game. If it's just my favorite NT sports memory, from TV or whatever - either the 2007 or the 2010 Sunbelt conference title. Probably go with the 2010 game, because that one came right down to the end with the Odufuwa block to preserve the win with just a few seconds to go.

EDIT: In person memory actually would have to be the Tech win a couple of season ago in basketball. That was insane....glad I flew back for it.

Where do you live/family: Denton County--married with 3 small kids

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: 1995 BBA in Finance

Favorite NT Memory: Walking in the rain down past Willis Library all the way to the Fouts Parking Lot after I finished my last class, realizing I was done and was about to earn the first and only college diploma in my entire family

Favorite NT Sports Memory: 2002 New Orleans Bowl win over Cincinnati for sure. I would also put the basketball victory over Texas Tech at the Super Pit a few years ago, just because it was in OT and over a team that brought out a big crowd to the SUper Pit.

Least Favorite Sports Memory at NT: watching LaDarrin McLane streak toward the end zone for a game-winning TD at Tech, only to see him get caught from behind and fumble away the win. Also, there was a football game at home against Nicholls State in November of 1993 that literally drew about 200 people, not including the band. We won that game 31-3, IIRC, but it felt like I was at a six-man game.

Where do you live/family: Coppell with wife of 14 months

Degree/Year: BA RTF '81 (I crammed 4 years into 5)

Favorite NT Memory: Back in the late 70s, the drinking age was 18 and faculty were known to go to student parties. I had about 40 people at a party in my apartment when the police showed up for a noise complaint. The officer was completely befuddled when Don Staples, the then RTF chair, answered the door and asked him what he wanted.

Favorite NT Sports Memories: Beating the vaulted SMU Pony Express at Texas Stadium in '77, beating UT (coached by Abe Lemmons) at the Pit in triple overtime while the fire marshal is threatening to close the event for over crowding and the first New Orleans Bowl.

Where do you live/family: Denton; Married

Degree/Year attended/graduated UNT: 2013 BM Music Composition (I walk tonight at 7 PM!)

Favorite NT Memory: Getting performed; leadership positions like in SGA, President's Sustainability Council and We Mean Green Fund, Composers Forum; doing silly things in Willis during Dead Week; 35Denton: playing at, volunteering for and of course the Flaming Lips show at the fairgrounds.

Favorite NT Sports Memory: I seem to have come in the down years, but running the field after the Indiana win was fantastic - especially since we have a little bit of a rivalry with their Jacobs School of Music (we trade off the title of "Largest College of Music in the US" every few years). I can't wait for next year to see us stomp them again in Bloomington.

      UTSA/Memphis game

      Tech spiraled out of control so fast it's hard to pinpoint what exactly could have done better lol... against Memphis, there were just poor coaching decisions coupled with poor execution on those poor decisions. It sucks to look back on because not only do we practically give teams the ball in scoring position but we also blatantly leave points on the field. Memphis comes to mind with the 4th down attempt from our 41 (who does that in 2nd quarter) and the 4th down attempt from their 29 in the 3rd. That's a 10 point swing right there off coaching decisions assuming we make the field goal and the defense gets a stop. Those may seem like tall tasks but that 42 yard Memphis TD was their last score until 33 seconds left in the 3rd and our kicker hasn't missed since the Tech game.

      Goal Post Alert

      In all seriousness, I watched South Carolina roar the field after taking down A&M tonight, and thought, “This is what our fanbase needs.” SMU had apparently not beaten a ranked team at home in like 60 years or something crazy like that! Meanwhile we are poised to beat our second undefeated top 20 ranked team in a span of a few years and when this happens it needs to be celebrated! Who says cool sports things don’t happen in Denton, freaking Texas! Goal posts come down, get marched out and get tossed into the pond or placed on the hill like a trophy! 🏆 how instagrammable! Photos for the Maniacs, Talons and Infantry to use to recruit 2025 members and beyond. I’m all about derailing Army’s quest for the playoffs, because even if Boise loses they ain’t jumping 8 spots and keeping out their Heisman stud running back. Plus we need this win. It’s time to crush another undefeated dream. Most importantly we need a W. For those who think this puts too much pressure on the team to deliver a W against a stout team with a rested quarterback. It’s top level football. There are no guarantees but we all need to be prepared. Talons Up! GMG

      Goal Post Alert

      This is a public service announcement from DATCU Stadium where seismic tremors deep below the surface appear to be sending stress signals to the strong goalposts above. There are reports of Tifos being painted in dorms across campus stating, “Bring Goal Posts Here!” Friday night camping equipment is apparently being washed and packed in preparation for under the stars campfires. There is even a report of the Military coming to town. Be alert. Stay attentive my friends. GMG
