:lol: I think I give the nod to LA by a hair. Phoenix had the nicest one.

I took the bus from LA to Vegas once to see how it was. I...get this...LEFT MY CAR IN THE GREYHOUND PARKING LOT OVER THE WEEKEND!

I was a brave (read: stupid) young man. When I got back, I was happy to see my car was still there, all its hubcaps and side view mirrors still intact.

As for the bus experience itself, the driver went off on this tyrannical rant over the loud speaker as we pulled out of the parking lot about how he would leave passengers stranded in the desert if they were caught drinking or smoking on the bus. As soon as we hit Interstate 10, out come the dip cans and forties. But unlike the ever raucous bar car on AmTrak (which once upon a time ran from Union Station to Vegas, and oh lawdy), the bus was as quiet as a church mouse. I did enjoy not having to navigate the 15, especially while still hung over on the return trip.

But I never parked my car at the LA greyhound station again.

Is the North Texas end zone going to be to the left or the right of our bench?

The tunnel at the front of the picture will be to our left, and then so will that end zone - opposite end from our student sections.

The question must be answered. Los Angeles greyhound station or Dallas greyhound station? Which one impressed you more?

:lol: I think I give the nod to LA by a hair. Phoenix had the nicest one.

I think the Dallas Greyhound Station has the fewest prostitutes...

CMJ, I suggest not taking the bus to Dallas anymore:

‘I’m going to flip this bus,’ irate passenger allegedly yells before Arizona crash

An irate passenger aboard a Dallas-bound Greyhound bus allegedly attacked the driver early Thursday morning, causing the bus to crash along Interstate 10 in Arizona, injuring 24.

If I worried about every possible bad thing that could happen, I'd never leave my apartment.

That said, my intent is to never take the Greyhound that far again. If I had known earlier about whether I was gonna be able to go, I would have gotten on a jet.

      Dept. of Education says Title IX applies to payments to athletes (NIL)

      Let’s be honest Title 9 is the dumbest ruling ever and always has been. I am all for women’s sports, I am all for schools offering scholarships for those sports if they choose to. Requiring every school to have an equal number of scholarships when football takes 85 is so beyond crazy, and this is crazier. Something meant to benefit female athletes has clearly been detrimental for men’s sports. We are not the only school who doesn’t have men’s soccer or baseball because of it, although someone has posted here before that’s not what’s stopping a baseball program from starting. We have 100x a chance of placing a player in the pros (or USMNT) in soccer and baseball yet we don’t have those programs. Truly makes no sense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      😂 All those schools you mentioned have significantly more football accomplishments than UNT and frequent (sometimes deep) entries into NCAA tournament. It is just a bad comparison. You can expect to microwave fan support on a level with those schools from one NIT title which at best (perception wise) makes you no better than 30-20th basketball team that year with your stars and coach leaving the team before the next season. I make 4 out of 6 Saturday Football games a season. I like being outside in good weather. I don’t live in Denton and the last thing I want to do after work is drive for an hour in rush hour traffic to get to a volleyball or basketball game. I suspect the average alumni that doesn’t live in Denton or border city feels the same way. I made a home game the year they won the NIT and preceding season. The SuperPit needs work, concessions food wasn’t good with long lines to get it. I guarantee the fan experiences at the home basketball arenas of the teams you mentioned aren’t like that.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I think we’re a good team that’s trending up. An at large bid is unlikely…we’d have to win all/most of our games, strong showing in the Conference Tourney, and have no surprise teams taking any auto bids. NIT is still a GREAT tournament. It doesn’t get the media hype, but it’s good basketball.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I never said bad. Your post proves my point. We lost all the games that we needed to win to prove we are a very good team. This is a good team. Just not great, as your post demonstrates. As others have pointed out, those losses mean NIT at best unless they win the conference tournament.
