Mr. Rainbolt was founder and owner of Tarrant Concrete Company. He was a Mean Green basketball star and letterman back in the day.

I asked Mr. Rainbolt several years ago if he could have one of his concretes trucks covered with the Corky Nelson era NT eagle logos all over it to one of our Fort Worth get-togethers at the Coors hospitality room. He made sure one of those special "UNT" trucks would be there along with himself. It was a popular conversation piece at that Mean Green gathering and Dr. Hurley especially got a big kick out of that truck.

Many of you in the Metroplex will have seen one of his numerous concrete trucks at some point. UNT Health Science Center huge construction boon became Tarrant Concrete's boon as well.

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Have we thought that maybe he is just not that good against average to above average teams? Threw a pick to end our chances against Memphis. Threw two picks that cost us the Army game. And threw two picks that cost us the UTSA game. There is a reason it didn't work out for him at okla and TCU. Hopefully we can beat the two inferior teams we have left on our schedule.

      Back to the Frisco Bowl Again🤮🤮

      I know the second half of this year has been really disappointing but dang- we shouldn’t hope for losing to avoid a bowel game. Before the start of the season everyone would’ve been happy with more W’s. It shows improvement. It shows we’re building something and gives the coaches evidence for when they talk to recruits. Win out and win whatever bowl game, 8-5 might convince some transfers/recruits that could really help turn this team into something next year.

      Dude isn’t going to have an arm after this season. I swear I’ve seen him come off the field like 3 separate times holding it like it’s broken.

      Pretty much what the two comments above are saying: It’s a strong possibility that he’s got a case of hero ball. “I need to play amazing for us to win” mentality. Mistakes avalanche and instead of relaxing, you tighten up and are harder on yourself. Obviously that’s total conjecture based on my personal experience in sports. We all know he’s great and wants to win. Could totally be a nagging injury too, who knows. Hope he sticks around for another season with an experienced OL and a more consistent D. That’d be a treat to watch.

      Porter scheduled to start? Did I just imagine him leaving both the Army and UTSA games holding his shoulder?
