Half our AD is from Southern Miss and loves cajun/southern culture, so let's just set up some cameras there and let the money roll in with equally banal crap.

I think the popularity of the show is also a reflection of the other crap typically broadcast today. 75% of the stuff on television isn't suitable for parents with young children, but Duck Dynasty is and usually has a good story/lesson to be learned.

Are you saying "Two and a Half Men" is not a good family program .... ??

Most programs that are on now would not see the light of day in the so-called wild 60's or even 70's.

Still like to watch Andy Griffith once in a while... nothing like that anymore. One of my favorites that is not remembered that much is "Night Court"... strange humor.

I think the reason why more people watch them than the stupid Kardasians is because of the differences in their family/moral life. I think people are tired of the typical celebrity, look-at-me, pregnant out of wedlock, sleep around stupidity of many of the people on reality television, and are attracted to a family that has their priorities in place.

.

About all I can take of "Kardasians" was about 5 min a couple of times..... awful ... Maybe I should watch longer than 5-10 min of "Duck" .... however it seems very boring to me.... Can't understand what the fascination with it is. I've known a few similar people when I was a kid. maybe some people haven't. ...ESPN is more interesting. ( whatever program is on, and not all of them interest me either )

The first time I watched it I thought the same thing, but my kids loved it and so I gave it a couple other tries. Enjoy it now for what it is.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Maybe we'll end up as Fenway Bowl foes in the future like y'all and BC did.

      DRC: UNT hires new volleyball coach

      Don't know what changed but after a seven-game losing streak, the ladies take down Wichita State and Rice at home in one weekend to clinch a spot in the conference tournament, where they will take on Rice again. Rice was 13-2 in conference coming into the game and Wichita, the tournament host, was also Top 4 in the league.

      UNT Athletics | UNT Board of Regents Approves Athletic Center Phase 1 Design

      DENTON, Texas – UNT’s Board of Regents has approved the completion of design work for phase one of the Athletics Center expansion, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Monday. "As we face new challenges ahead, we're excited to move swiftly with Phase 1, taking full advantage of the momentum we've built and the resources at our disposal in an ever-evolving construction market,” Mosley said. “I am deeply grateful for the many individuals who have stepped up to support this effort, ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible experience for the young men and women in our programs. The student-athlete experience, capital investments, and NIL opportunities are all integral parts of the puzzle we’re working to solve every day. Our dedicated Mean Green donors and alumni continue to rise to the occasion, making a profound impact. I encourage everyone to identify the area they're passionate about and join us in this exciting era for UNT Athletics!" More than $4.4 million from 38 UNT supporters has been committed toward the anticipated $10 million fundraising goal needed to complete phase one of the Athletics Center expansion. Total cost of the project will be based on the price of materials at the time of construction. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size. Phase one will include a 50-yard plyometric turf, 16 high performance dual-sided combo racks, 4,000-square-foot of open floor, 1,000-square-foot mezzanine of cardio, and a 1,2550 square foot nutrition site. Expanding this space will enhance UNT Athletics' competitive edge by providing student-athletes with a premier environment to train, strengthening their physical abilities, mental toughness, and well-being. This area will also promote increase team building and cohesion, allowing our student-athletes to foster a sense of team unity and camaraderie. Currently, UNT Athletics has the second-smallest weight room in the American Athletic Conference. Phase two of the expansion project will include improvements to sports medicine, the football locker room as well as additions of a new academic support center for all student-athletes and additional premium seating for DATCU Stadium. Phase 2 would follow the completion of Phase 1 and by way of a successful Phase 2 campaign. The UNT Athletic Center was originally opened in 2005 and is home to administrative offices, football coaches' offices, football locker room and equipment room, but it is truly the home to all Mean Green athletics including sports medicine and rehab in addition to strength and conditioning. We encourage individuals interested in learning how to support UNT Athletics to contact the Mean Green Scholarship Fund staff at MGSF@unt.edu or by visiting MeanGreenScholarshipFund.com. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact and helps advance our mission toBuild Champions and Prepare Leaders. For more information visit: www.MeanGreenSports.com/ACExpansion
