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

The guy's from the Pacific Northwest area. He doesn't want a Shiner. He knows what good beer actually tastes like.

I'm at Old Texas Brewery Co. in Burleson tomorrow. First time for me. What can I expect?

Summer preferences:

Blonde Ales (Shiner, Rahr), Dos Equis, Stella, most wheat beers, Brooklyn Brewery lagers

Don't like pale ales. They seem so popular right now, but I guess I'm not ready for them. Bleh.

Rick, It's on my mind to try that Revolver tour! Just heard about it yesterday. Is it similar to the Rahr tour?

Freaking beer snobs.

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

This attitude is the problem with our fan base. Happy with 2 wins. Management must be held accountable!

I didn't know you were a chick? Welcome! We need more females on the board.

Haha okay...You like Shiner Black? Give Rhar's Ugly Pug or Armadillo's Quakertown Stout a try. You might learn what quality beer tastes like

I've been drinking Buffalo Butt lately..mostly just so I can watch my kids try not to laugh at the name. I do like it though. It's a Rhar's.

Interesting beer names and visiting some breweries sounds fun. I am boring to most on here about beer, I usually stay with Coors Light or Bud Light. Since you open with the Vandals from way up north in Idaho, a little history of our reputation for the party. BSU (we Vandals refer to them as the jc) President called us the "nasty and inebriated culture". He went on about the perils and safety of his fans and team venturing into the Palouse, to Moscow. Well, the two schools no longer play each other. Hard feelings have developed of course. We had the early half of the rivalry in our hands and ran off 12 straight, but of course, as you know, they have a great program and have won 14 straight. But the banter is still loud and "nasty". You will see all Vandals who make it to Denton as great people who are proud of their institution. We do wear our colors well and we are unconditionally loyal to the school and the team. As we are playing Sat night, most of us will be anxious to hear how the jc is fairing in Seattle, against UW, an evening game. So, if you hear a little bark of approval from us, you know the Huskies are humbling the Donks. I live in Boise, as do many alum. It is hard, but we hold our own in the land of blorange. Loved the beer talk. And thanks for making me feel at home. Looking forward to Denton.

Grew up in ol b-town. They have a nice selection on beer and the food is pretty good at OTB Co. Old town gets hoping on saturday night. The patio on the roof at Old texas Brewery is awesome at night. It is too hot during the day to sit up there. Around the corner is spice racks. It is an okay bar. The food they serve is all organic and local I believe. Frsecos has good mexican food and I really like their margaritas. Dalton corners is fun too if you wanna shoot pool. It was a big bar in the 80s that shut down and was brought back so you will see the 40/50 year olds in there saturday night. Have fun!

I do like Ugly Pug. I have not had a chance to try an Armadillo brews yet, as I have not been in Denton in a while (though I did contribute to their Kickstarter campaign and use my bottle opener from them often).

In my fridge currently: Anchor Steam, Full Sail Amber, Abita Turbodog, Shiner Bock, Laughing Skull Amber, Guinness, Red Stripe, Erdinger Dunkel, Stone's Russian Imperial Stout, and Sierra Nevada Stout. Oh and a crappy Ecuadorian beer I cook with sometimes and drink in bars here when I must.

Have you tried ChIMAY? I really like it, a little expensive though. I'm a fan of ales more so than largers and IPAs. But like i said in a previous post every beer has a time and place and you wont see me chugging some guinness at tailingating, just ain't gonna happen.

Dude... aren't you barely 21?

Yeah.

And my parents taught me how to enjoy alcohol properly without turning into a drunk at age 21 like most other western countries do...

So I've had a lot of local brews and left mostly unimpressed. St. Arnold Divine Reserve 13 and Summer Pils is where it's at...

I had sixers of Dallas Blonde and Greenbelt Farmhouse Ale in the fridge last night... along with 18 Miller Lites. I like good beer, but as the night goes on I need hydration.

Wow thanks! +1.

It'll be tonight, so I'm excited to see the crowds too.

Amen, brother.

Idaho - UNT will be a good contest. I will follow it in memory of the late, great Vandal DB Jim Norton who was a teammate and friend of my late great father.

Observations from this forum. We like to drink good beer in Texas. Idaho fans seem like good people. My personal opinion Shiner does not suck. It is very refreshing. I can't wait until the game.

I forgot you were an Elk, what year again?

I haven't been back to the Old Town part since the original Dalton's closed probably? Sounds like that area is hoping again?

Shiner is great beer and love the fact that it's usually considered a domestic.

Great place! Lots of eye candy on staff, serving you a decent selection of beers.

I had to load tons of stuff up to the rooftop patio. At 100 degrees, up a staircase. That sucked. But overall, I liked our servers Becky and Co., and had some good pretzels and beer.

We had our first scrim. Here's a take from the Spokane newspaper:

http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/sportslink/2013/aug/10/petrino-first-scrimmage/#more

and from the UI Athletics site, write up and stats link

:

Right now, our D front appears to be a strength, with our OL having a long ways to go before touching down in Denton. That said, from my observations at spring camp, a much better team overall in speed, physical conditioning and pride. HC Petrino is very demanding right now and has changed the culture back to the days when he and Bobby were in Moscow and our football was competitive and known for the next level athlete.

and, our board site; http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=205

We are die-hard fans, through the good and not so good:

      Caponi fired

      Same here. I am tired of trying to convince my group to re-enlist their time and money to football at UNT. On the other hand I have no issues getting excited for basketball. We have a basketball program that is deserving of our support!

      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.
