What a great day it was!  This was the seventh year this game has been played, and each and every year we have raised more scholarship funds than the last, but this year was special.  Through our great sponsors, our players, our donors and our silent auction bidders and buyers, we raised over $10,000 for the first time ever!  And, funds are still coming in!

Yes, the white team won this year's game, but it was fairly competitive this year.  At times I thought of renaming the game "roller derby basketball", but both teams survived with anyone getting hurt.  Probably a few "sore guys" today, but smiling in their soreness knowing that they helped raise a record amount of scholarship money for these great student-athletes!

I would be hard pressed to imagine seven years ago that this event could raise over $10,000, but it just shows what the Mean Green family can do when they come together with a positive goal in mind.  Too many people to thank here, but to all our donors, sponsors, players, Cheer Team parents, Student Affairs team, Athletic Department team, Advancement folks and spectators I say "thank you....thank you so much" for making this event a success...AGAIN!  You have shown a bunch of student-athletes and their parents that the Mean Green Nation is a caring and generous bunch.

Thanks to all...stand by for bigger and better next year!  Already working on it.

Every athlete should give back to their school and have school pride. It was great seeing Dak support Miss St. and I hope one day we have a big name athlete that shows up like that.

      A few HSO's

      I was kind of hoping this HSO thread would help me get over the hump and renew the two season tickets I’ve had since the days of dirt at Fouts Field and the old cement urinals there. Unfortunately I, probably like some others, can’t seem to generate any old fashioned enthusiasm for the new version of “ here today gone tomorrow, pass through jocks . Somehow there just seems to be a missing piece; commitment, loyalty, alma mater. Yesterday’s discarded intangibles. Well, today is deadline day, can I break an old habit?

      If…..

      I gave you a +1, but I also suspect he would not get along with the Grants and Ross's of our world. Would be loads of fun and wins, though.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      For anyone who hasn't experienced the greatness of Hutchins, you should treat yourself the next time you are in either Frisco or McKinney. Some of the best brisket I've had (and other good stuff too). And... since UNT has expanded into Frisco, I guess we can claim Hutchins as a UNT BBQ place 😎

      A few HSO's

      There’s no contradiction. The average fan/alumni aren’t paying NIL, it’s the big donors and corporations. And they’re only doing it because that’s the way it is under the current, broken system. My 2nd point is that comparing college coaches with college players is neither a fair nor equal comparison.

      No Way Jose! Just the opportunity for him to get out of Jersey is payment enough!
