Thank you for all your work coordinating these events.  I have enjoyed the few that I have been able to attend.  But at this point there is nothing to watch.  I have voiced my concerns to the athletic department and the administration.  With the current leadership, I highly doubt any coach, whether it be mens/womens basketball or football, will be successful at UNT.  If you count slightly below .500 as success, that might be in reach with really talented coaches.  Right now  I would rather be completing weekend "honey-do" tasks than watching the debacle that is UNT football right now.  And I won't be back until there is hope and with the current AD there is none.    Sorry for the negativity but I am only acknowledging the truth of the situation at UNT.  Please forward this e-mail up the chain in the Alumni Association.  I want to stress again that I highly appreciate your effort and enjoy the rest of the season.  Go Mean Green.

Mike,

Thanks  for your your comments and perspective both here and in your email.  I forwarded them to my contacts with the alumni association without any of my own commentary. 

I enjoy putting these events together, mostly because I enjoy attending and there wasn't anyone else putting anything like this together in my area for UNT.  I started doing it after someone invited me to go with them to a UK basketball watching party in Plano sponsored by Kentucky's alumni association.  It was a good time and had me wishing UNT did something similar.  

If if these events were just about watching the games, I'd expect zero people to attend most.  It's a lot easier to watch the game from the comforts of your couch, assuming you get the game.  It's more about combining the game watching with spending time with fellow alums and fans that have similar thoughts, passions, and concerns.   It's kind of like what we do here on gomeangreen.com, but in person.   For those of us that are alums, we will always be alums and have that in common.  For those that work for the athletic department, it's a job and once they are gone, it's just a part of their history.  That said, we'll miss you Saturday.

Go Mean Green and thanks again.

Thanks for putting these on. It's fun to watch the game with fellow fans...even when the results aren't what any of us want. Also the beer is really cold at Fuzzy's, so that's good too...

I've only been to a few watching parties in my life, but they're always a good time, even when UNT is...well...UNT.  When things start to go south in the game, the focus generally turns more toward socializing.  Now, in those rare instances where UNT wins a road game?  Holy hell, man, now THOSE are watching parties!

I wouldn't know. I've never attended a watch party and had UNT win. I'll take your word for it though.

      Ladies land Tech transfer

      Similar to the deceiving capitalization when our men’s recruit went to central Arkansas😂

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
