I’m sure some of y’all have already seen this video from the 2002 New Orleans Bowl, but thought I would post it for some of the younger fans and students. Gives a good overview of the pre-game festivities of the day (which look even cooler this year) and highlights a killer performance from the Mean Green on game day that year. All with amazing early 2000’s production values!!!

You can see from the crowd shots in the Superdome that we brought a good group of fans with us. It was like that every year, four years in a row. Those games were played mid week not a weekend.

The pre and post game parties are not to be missed. That year after the game, it got so rowdy on Bourbon St late night that the police shut down Bourbon.

If you’re on the fence about going and wondering if the effort is worth it, hopefully this video will tip the scales. I promise you (ESPECIALLY STUDENTS) that you don’t want to miss out.

Win or lose the game - North Texas fans are undefeated in partying. I expect that streak to continue!

I used to have a screenshot from the security cam at the Cat's Meow of DD and his team on the stage karaoking after the game. 

I am sure it is on some external HDD floating around my attic.

      Oh, make no mistake, if my current employer can't get close then I am gone.

      Men's Golf at AAC Championship

      Currently tied for eight with ECU after round one at +6. The leaders are at -3. The good news is that Tucker Allen is tied for first in the medalist race at -4. Our 3-5 players need to step up. I found it interesting that Diego Prone, our best returning player, didn't play the opening round.

      Lost 4-1 to USF. Not a bad first year under a new coach.

      We return the following guards: 5'9" So. Breanna Davis: Only played in 13 games (Daughter of Chris Davis) 5'8" So. Ereauna Hardaway: Started at PG. Good floor manager but doesn't score much. 5'8" R-Fr Desiree Wooten: Has the potential to be very good. 5'11" R-Fr Jahcelyn Hartfield: Only played in 7 games coming off an injured freshman year. 5'11" Fr. Shadasia Brackens: Played in 21 games. Incredible athlete that has the potential to be great. Brackens is listed as a G/F. Hartfield, with her height, could also play F. Brannon shot 40% from 3 this past year and provides experience this team needs since we lost Sham Duncan, J Moore, D Robinson and M Clearly from the backcourt.

      You are the exception to the rule. No judgment here but for 99% of people if they can 3x their income they are absolutely going to do it. Most younger folks in my profession will jump at even marginal increases. Some of these kids are not going to be playing professional football so if they can get a free education and pocket 100-300k with their degree then they are absolutely entitled and should be encouraged to do so.
