As a Vandal fan I'm not worried about the heat affecting our team. 50 of our athletes are from "hot" states (CA, TX, FL, NM, NV). We have really focused on getting kids from those states. Most of our

You do realize what you just precipitated, right?

Dude those are fighting words in here. Shiner bock is one of the greatest beers mankind ever made.

I'll never say Shiner is bad, but with the explosion of craft breweries in Texas the past few years its fallen way off my radar. I hardly ever buy Shiner anymore, unless I'm in the mood for a Ruby Red or Holiday Cheer. Edited by UNTcrazy727

Obviously, with how big (re: mass-produced) Shiner has become, they're not going to stack up well with smaller craft breweries. But it's REALLY hard to find a bock beer that beats Shiner at your local grocery store here in D/FW.

By the time any Northwestern brew gets shipped down here, it's going to taste like crap, and vice versa. No need in arguing unless you've been to both breweries and had them off a tap. Even then, it's simply an opinion.

I just did a brewery tour down the west coast. Very fun. However, Shiner Ruby Red is still the perfect summer beer.

Not to mention I ride the Shiner G.A.S.P every year. When you cycle 100 miles and end at the brewery, it's the best damn beer you will ever drink. Same goes for the brats.

Freaking beer snobs.

We all know that after the first 2, they all taste alike, anyway.

I don't always drink to get drunk, but when I do. I prefer Coors Light. Stay thirsty my friends.

I don't mean to poo-poo Shiner. It just doesn't do it for me. I don't understand the cult following it gets from many in Texas. I'd take a Ziegenbock over it any day. Honestly though, both would be one of my last choices of beer to enjoy. I will be honest and admit I haven't tried many of their offerings.

I envy your tour UNTexas. I've been trying to string that up for a couple years but haven't managed it yet.

Another TX brewery out there to try is Real Ale. I much enjoyed each brew I've tried of theirs. The Rye Pale Ale is a winner. I think I'll enjoy one tonight.

Fireman's #4 is an easy-to-drink beer. I don't usually care much for blonde ales, but this one is pretty good.

I have had 20 different types of shiner (I keep my unique beer bottles) and I have enjoyed very few of them but I feel like I have to try them all...the 99 and 101 are my favorites by far...shiner is nothing special to me...couldn't even say when I had an actual shiner bock last...

Just bought some lawn ranger cream ale from cedar creek brewery out in east Texas...very refreshing...could easily be a session beer!

I love beer talk...

Another great area to do a quick brewery tour is Denver. Great time!

Raher & Sons beer is a very popular subject (and beer) over here in the Fort Worth area.

I think beer sales at Apogee on the student side would do more for student attendance than would be beyond

our wildest dreams.

From the way other stadiums are going, beet sales is in the future of every stadium...

I wish UNT would hurry up and get beer for the masses.

I haven't had a good local beer and I've tried most of the local breweries.

It's not St. Arnold...

I need to try the Denton beer.

You tried Revolver's free tasting event on Saturday's yet?

Rick

Revolver's Blood and Honey.......YUMMMM

Shiner is trash....people just like to mention it because it was (at one point) one of like 3 Texas beers but all were garbage. We in DFW are VERY LUCKY to have the craft beer explosion we have gotten. Is it any wonder that the many of the best in DFW have a very healthy selection of local beers? Having been to Big Texas Beer Fest and sampled most every brewery in DFW I find it very hard to choose a favorite.

For Summer beer though you have to stick with Mexican Beers and Blonde Ales.

For those of you Idaho Fans that are meeting up in Irving PLEASE PLEASE take 10 minutes to stop by Las Colinas Beverage to pick up your Beer Supply for tailgating. The guy (Nick) will fill your coolers with ice for free and has the best beer selection in between Irving and Denton. He will easily be able to give you some advice on the smaller brewery beers that he has in stock and find the one for you.

      Caponi fired

      They were waiting for Caponi to come available.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      We have only had 4 coaches [I missed Jack Sisco] since 1913 out of a total of 18 who exited North Texas with winning records, Hayden Fry being the last in 1978. Goals and objectives must be realistic and obtainable with a little pie in the sky. Quite honestly I have no idea what we our standard should be, only what it has become . However, expect more are you will get less ,which seems to be the norm for our football program.

      Caponi fired

      I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

      Caponi fired

      I certainly am not making excuses for the termination of Caponi and agree that it was overdue. However I am surprised that our AD and not HC was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger. I owned a medical device sales agency for 30 years and can testify that no one like firing an employee. In fact those who do , unless its a really egregious act, usually wait longer than the should because the real mistake was made by you in hiring them in the first place. Having said that I have never terminated an employ that didn't expect it and in most cases were relieved that the ax finally dropped.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It is obvious that no one is stopping you from voicing your displeasure with the program. I also wonder where you get anyone is happy with the season. As for as the resources, there is no way that you know that to be true, unless you know their NIL numbers and their real budget. Hint, what is reported can be made to look about anyway you want by manipulating the numbers. I am truly regretful that NT is likely not going to be invited to the Rose Bowl and will be relegated to a subpar bowl and opponent.
