Well great. I'll be driving into rain today on the way home. Denton/DFW needs all the rain it can get though.

June is winding down pretty fast. It'll be fall camp before we know it, GMG.,

Yes sir.

And when you are thankful, sometimes The Lord provides.

Lake up 5 feet and still rising with 6 to go. Will probably get another foot added on today. Ground is completely saturated with rain expected tomorrow and big rain expected Wednesday. Biggest rain event in the history of mankind. Can we? Will we?

Do feel for the people affected by the flooding, though.

My wife and I were walking around the man-made "lake" in our neighborhood, and remarked on it being about a foot a half low. This weather should help get it back to normal, I hope. Really interested in seeing how it affects Ray Roberts. Would like to get out there this weekend.

Was there a big rain event Sunday up around Gainesville as well as Granbury? This morning a system came through that appears to have rained on the Lake RR water shed. It will be interesting alright. It takes a pretty big rain event to bring the level up on a 28K surface acre lake.

Bill, a pretty steady shower came through yesterday morning until about 10 or so, and pretty certain it dumped some water on RR.

Which lake are you talking about? Granbury?

Yes, sorry, Lake Granbury. Almost up to 687 feet above sea level from a record low of 681.5. Full is 693 (but they always keep it at 692.5). It will be interesting to see where we end up at the end of this week.

Is that before or after the BRA sells off all the water?

My dog has decided she hates going outside in the rain. I have to slide her big butt out the door, to prevent an accident. Wish I could throw my wife's cat out into the rain with her.

My dog and cat are Thunder Buddies 4 Life. He got in her crate with her this morning while she was shaking...the cuteness was off the charts

If it does get full, they will suck it out as quick as they can to make a buck. And they don't give 2 craps. Completely unchecked government agency. Only defense is public and media pressure.

They have put in to sell in MORE water.

BRA permit request 5851 for anyone interested. Want to sell an additional 670,000 acre feet per year. And they make this request in the middle of a drought. Arrogance much?

Look, we are in a drought which is reason A that the lake is low. But the BRAs mismanagement of water (selling as much as possible without regard for lake levels, river levels, and the effect on Eco systems, local economies, and the property value of home owners) is reason B.

I have really developed a disdain for this particular state agency and their unbridled arrogance.

That about sums it up. My in-laws have a house on the lake and we used to enjoy going down to visit and spend a few hours cruising around the lake and relaxing (not that we still don't enjoy visiting, just no lake trips now). Haven't been able to do that in a few years. I have developed a strong distaste for the BRA as well.

      NCAA proposes new rules to allow direct payments to players

      Non-scholarship level? You know that's D3, right? To the general sentiment of your point, I tend to agree. UNT football is sort of a joke punchline. I was never sure it would ever do much, but I was somewhat hopeful. With the landscape the way it is, I am all but certain that UNT football will never be much of a anything. Even if we one day have a 2016 Western Michigan type year the market conditions would breakdown our roster as fast as humanly possible. It is literally impossible, with our terrible support and low football NIL to ever have even a smidgen of sustainability. Frankly, as I've said before, given our recruiting pecking order throughout the state and region we will never even sniff a 2016 WMU type season, IMO. I'm not sure how anyone could dispute this outside of ignorance/hope. So, the university athletics is clearly standing at a Y in the road... What to do? Keep kicking the can down the street and faking it while trying to swindle any possible donor they can? Or make wholesale changes to dress our athletic front porch up. From the looks of it, our basketball program might be heading back down into mediocrity... Are we going to do anything about it? Or just be bad to mediocre in EVERYTHING we do?

      Portal +/- numbers for UNT

      Ugly truth is we have no chance whatsoever the way the system is set up right now. The University sure won't pony up and neither with the donor based on the hires we have made.

      NCAA proposes new rules to allow direct payments to players

      More than 4 decades ago Corky Nelson told a meeting that North Texas highest aspiration could only be to become the best of the bottom 100 programs in D- 1 , anything else was delusional. Corky saved football at North Texas with dedicated coaches that could operate on very limited resources. Do not deceive yourself that this program can exist even in FCS form w/o football. Any attempt to drop football will only result to a drop to non scholarship competition. This level of athletics for a school the size of NT would be a disgrace and make us even more the laughingstock of this state

      Spring Practice Updates

      My question is how does this effect their academics? Does he stay through the end of the semester, or does he leave once he enters the portal? Once entering the portal, any aid from North Texas should cease immediately as well as any NIL payments.
