I like a well lit arena where I can see all the stands though. UNT had minimal lighting a few years ago except for the lights shining on the court and it was not the best IMO. Felt like I was at a concert. haha

Thanks @UNTLifer -- that is helpful ... but disappointing info. We had some GREAT memories taking the kiddos to the homecoming parade each year back in the day, them loading up on candy pre-Halloween, etc. In fact, we had so much fun we started inviting non-UNT family friends who brought their kids as well, we all ate at various restaurants in the Denton town square pre-or post parade ($$$ for local merchants) and now my oldest is going to UNT as he enjoyed the games and parades so much he has fond memories of the place. Wonder how many possible future students and lost $$ to local businesses they are forfeiting with this stupid policy? But, y'know, sustainability. 😞 🤢

Has the Homecoming parade gone the way of the dodo bird?! I get it during the Covid year, but does anyone know why there are no more parades?!

I wish I could upvote this post x10. I saw the beatdown live yesterday and had a great time! Then I come on the board this morning and thought I was reading a chat thread of a different game. The tag line for this board should be "Where happiness goes to die" or maybe change the website from "Gomeangreen" to "The Bitching Zone".

What? I thought we were having fun here, no?

You give an example of a CEO needing to be run out in 10 months. Fair enough. But you're wanting to give this guy 2 games (aka 2 weeks)?! Um, OK. Finally, for all the people ready to fire our coach because we're 0-2 with 2 bad losses let me leave you with this .... it's a good thing the internet hadn't been invented yet in 1973. Did you know Hayden Fry started out 0-2 including an embarrassing 31-7 loss to UTA on Opening Day. UTA!! Now I'm NOT saying Eric Morris is going to turn out like Hayden Fry. However, I WOULD put a $100,000 bet in Vegas that if this message board was around in 1973 it would be filled with "Fire Hayden Fry" threads, "What the Hell is he DOING?!" and my personal favorite "The North Texas offense has only scored 10 points in 2 games against UTA and Memphis. WTF?!? This OC has got to go ... and Fry with him". C'mon now... you know it's true. 🙂

It'll be me + 8 others for this trip. Plan is to start drinking early to numb the pain. 😂

Put in grass and the field will look fantastic all the time. And have a better home-field advantage to boot since grass fields are pretty rare these days. Call me old school but grass is better ... especially for the players.

Yeah, we need to take the next step and I think the admin really blew it by not bringing in Nick Saban or Kirby Smart to fix things. As far as the defense, why did we not at least attempt to get Dan Quinn in here? Look how much success he's had with the Cowboys! In a related note, why has my posting gone down by significant amounts? Because the board has pretty much become an asswhip (unless we win the NIT). The same people that predict 9-3 and 10-2 records in the other thread wanna fire coaches after one game. Really?! Yes, today sucked. I was there and it was really bad. But, overreact much? Now if the same crap happens against FIU and La Tech, then yes I will have flashbacks to Ron Mendoza. Now if you'll excuse me I need to call the Texas Hammer or the Law Shark for a case of extreme whiplash from reading these different threads.

As a long time GMG member, getting caught up on this thread made me chuckle a little bit. Posts from 10-15 years ago -- that damn RV! He's sticking us with body bag games now and into the future. Alabama, Clemson, Texas, Georgia, Florida, etc, etc. We need easy winnable games against G5's and the occasional FCS school to look good. Posts now -- that damn WB and Moseley. They've stuck us with a lot of games against G5's and an FCS school every year. We need to schedule big schools like Alabama, Clemson, Texas, Georgia, Florida, etc, etc to put us on the map!

... and somewhere a poster on the Wyoming message board named "Uncle Oliver" is posting "North Texas sure will not bring any fans to our stadium. I feel like we need to get a little more demanding in our expectations".

I think GMG_Dallas is in the first stage of the 5 stages of grief -- denial. Once it becomes official in the the next few days, we might start seeing some "anger" posts from him (Stage 2) . It will be OK y'all. Ross Hodge is a capable replacement and Grant will go down a legend at UNT just like Hayden Fry.

I know tonight's results may change this, but this updated NIT bracktology has us a #1 seed now. That's pretty cool! NIT Bracketology – The Barking Crow

I think Tom McKrackin is setting a GMG record for most downvoted posts in multiple threads within a 5 day period of time. To the point where I think it's just troll jobs at this point. haha
