We tried like heck to figure out a way to move our tailgate operation down there for this game.  This would involve 8 10X10 tents, and 5 10X20 tents.  We decided it just wasn't worth it, and are encouraging all of our group to participate in the university sponsored tailgate event.

Put this in perspective, even if you buy a ticket, and pay the admission to the tailgate party, it is still way cheaper than traveling to any other away game.  What would it look like if 500 to maybe even 2000 people in green were gathered in one place making hell of a lot of noise before the game.  Then go into the stadium and a HOD type crowd full of green either halves or overwhelms their attendance.  It would be a nightmare for them,  then they lose the game.

It would make up for the 3 major kick in the crotches we got last year.  #1,  Texas lay down  #2 UAB football lay down  #3 rice bitch slapping us in conference basketball tourny after we beat them twice in regular season.

Show up, be loud and proud, and hope our boys kick their ass on the field!

Good stuff.  Are you guys driving or taking the train.  Seems like this would be a good game to use the transit system.

The truth is, we are getting a hotel down there in some close promixity to ground zero,  there will be a pre tail gate at the hotel bar, then uber or some such down to the stadium.  Then after, rather than trying to ferry the whole crew back to denton, we are hoping for a victory party ala post game hod bowl and dining out at some high tone dallas establishment with all of our peasant wear on.  You know, the stuff people wear that work for people that went to SMUT.  Remember the old slogan, "UNT degrees work", and the counter claim of "UNT, where people went to school that work for people who went to SMU"?

Then safely drive back home on Sunday morning with some degree of soberness and euphoria.

That is the plan

side note:  congratulations mark miller on ulys knight spirit award.  If anyone deserves it, you do.  We were truly honored the year we received it.  Also shout out to my wife, who is also included in the same press release.

      If…..

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.
