Famous alumni

Recommended Posts

Has anyone reached out to our famous alumni about putting the HoD word out? I was thinking we could see if folks like the Eli Young band could make a social media post letting their fans know about the bowl and they should check it out. Was Bowling for Soup comprised of former UNT students? Just spitballing here if we have alums with a large following that could help us out.

I know the TV anchor helped us out but are there any others that have?

Tried all of the famous ones I could think of. Got a response from the DJ from the Edge and the guy who works on Madden...but that's it. (In addition to Gruber and Izzy.) Was disappointed.

Why doesn't AD try to get promotional ticket price for Interstate battery and give one or two free or discounted priced ticket to HOD for every battery sold in Dallas or across TX. If across Texas great way to promote UNT and HOD across TX. AD should have been on these kinds of promo's ever since we had a shot at HOD Bowl.

Norm Miller Chairman of Interstate Batteries UNT alum!!!

Go Mean Green!!!

All Dallas, Houston and other smaller market AM & FM radio station do give away promotion to listens every day. If AD department would lake 2 free tickets and call each radio station in Metroplex (especially sport talk stations) and promote HOD through ticket give away this would promote game. If ticket winners have family a certain number of those family members would have to buy additional tickets for family to also attend game.

Has UNT contact "The Ticket" or other Dallas radio sports talk stations to give away tickets? This can't cost that much money in ticket to promote and increase overall ticket sales to promote HOD.

We have quite a few famous alumni to showcase and we need to go back a few years and show that we have been producing them for a long time. Joan Blondell and Ann Sheridan come to mind, but we need to showcase successful scientists, writers,jazz and classical musicians etc. whose names might not be household words,but whose accomplishments are noteworthy. There are a lot of accomplished people out there between Cold Stone Steve Austin on one hand and Larry Mc Murtry on the other.

I'm well aware of where he went to school and I hope that coward has the courage to show himself to the mean green nation.

I can not stand that guy! Good lord he sucks so hard. With that being said I am glad his show Diners, Drive ins, and Dives is around, because it helps promote small business. Too bad that moron is freaking horrible!
