With all the new president talk, a Tribute to Dr. Rawlins

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

i think we can all agree that in his short time here, Dr. Rawlins has had a tremendous impact on UNT, academically and athletics alike. I remember my first encounter with Dr. Rawlins I had no idea who he was (being a freshman) and he was sitting next to me before a speech he was going to give in the One O'clock lounge. He asked me what my degree was, what I wanted to be when I graduated, told me about how he got his PhD in Economics and wanted to be an attorney at one point (but luckily for UNT went into academia.) My favorite memory of him was during a Hot Springs tournament, when we were playing UALR I believe, some of the opposing team's women's basketball team ran up and down our side of the stands waving their Jerseys and taunting us. He stood up and gave them a grandpa stare down like you wouldn't believe. Wish him much luck, and hope he enjoys fishing and spending time with his grand kids!
