he truly is an amazing human. 66 years old and has more energy at 6:55 am than I do all day long...and I feel like I take care of myself pretty well these days... simply amazing.

Anybody have any complaints now?

RV's hire this time around is starting to look pretty solid. Obviously we aren't at any kind of a "finish line"... but, man, it is much more fun to be a season ticket holder for good ole UNT with Dan at the helm... Hopefully he can keep the arrow pointed up. We'll see.

DMac just turned 60 this summer but I am sure when he is 66 he will have the same energy level!

I was miffed that the Ticket failed to mention anything about UNT for college football Tuesday yesterday afternoon after being the only area team with any hope of making a bowl.

This morning, slight redemption. George is going to do his best to get us some exposure. Corby, who I otherwise really do think is pretty funny, doesn't seem to realize that 35e goes north of Royal.

The morning show talked about the win vs USM.

But I listened yesterday afternoon. The Hardline never talks about the Mean Green. I thought for SURE they would mention the game. Instead they talked about SMU having to come back against Temple. (Who I belive was beaten by Idaho?) But SMU pays them money so they have to walk that revenue line. Like the DMN, the ticket is an SMU lackey. It's funny they are forced to bow down to that joke of a football program. There are some good alums on the station that cover us (Sean Bass, Georgio, etc.) but you have to consciously and purposely make it a point to not mention UNT at this point. The Hardline does it on purpose. It's pretty obvious.

Just keep winning. We're going to force their hand.

Seriously, this whole SMU trying to keep us down thing precedes me by a decade or five. Haden Fry must've ruh-heally pissed in somebody's cornflakes. I just otherwise completely don't understand why they would have such a grudge against a school who has historically never been much of a threat. I guess that was it though. We were kinda a threat in the 70s? After Hayden Fry left SMU to come to UNT? Is that it? Are we still pouting in our trust funds over that?

SMU doesn't have the clout or credibility to keep us down anymore. They're a nobody. That's a thing of the past. They CAN pay radio stations to cover them and then expect them to behave. (Which Mike Reiner and others do) Has more to do with SMU buying coverage than UNT. If the Hardline is going to cover a local team and they have to choose between SMU and UNT they're gonna choose their master.

No greater example than Cat not letting Corby play the audio of Dexter Manley calling Troy Aiknan a queer.

Cat said on the air that he didn't want to hurt the relationship with Troy ( even though Manley's comments were made on an unaffiliated station in DC).

Administrators gotta administrate.

SMU and TCU both pay good money a couple times a year to bring the Ticket to their campus on remotes. UNT never does. Who's fault is it we don't get talked about more?

Don't disagree. If you can't beat 'em join 'em. It's obvious what it takes to get local coverage on the Ticket.

You couldn't have a more perfect place for a remote than the Alumni Pavilion.

Would have made way too much sense.... Not to mention more than a couple days of planning.

Would have loved to see it. Was hoping The Athletic Department would have seen the thread a couple of months ago.

The last time I remember The Ticket at UNT it was when the Hardline came up and did their show from the Union I think and that was when Greggo was still there.

I was listing to Bob and Dan the other day as they were talking about Halloween and Bob was seriously wanting and considering going and taking all of his kids to the NT game tomorrow night but it was vetoed by his kids that wanted to do something Halloween related. Bob mentioned that he'd love to do it and thought it would be really fun. Somehow before all that Sea Bass brought the game up as to what to do on Thursday night and that's how Bob started mentioning that.

So I do think there has been a few more outsiders that have noticed what's been going on in Denton over the last few years in general with the school, MBB, and now FB this season.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
