  3. UNT_UTSA watch party Grapevine

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    We will be meeting at the popular Bottlecap Alley in Grapevine to watch the MG kick the *hit out of that junior college in SA. I have reserved a couple of tables, but can reserve more if needed...good food and cold beer and easy to see TV's

    I will be there between 10:30 and 10:45 am.

    ROLLCALL....are you going to the BOTTLECAP.....Hell Yes, hate UTSA......or ......No, having surgery on Sat and I am a crappy fan !

    Let's break this down, shall we? Since someone is begging for proof-reading, I'll happily provide a little.

    "In the article about UNT winning the Homecoming 31-10, they list the stats in the box...but what??

    For starters, the capitalized "h" in homecoming is unnecessary. Also, who is "they?" You later mention R. V., but I doubt he's actually the writer. You also allude to mystery about whom the writer is with this first "sentence," but then later give hints that you actually know. Perhaps a mystery with revelation is what you were going for, but it's still a pretty hard plot to follow.

    Also, your ellipsis should be one space apart from each other . . . just like I did there. I should add that only one question mark is necessary.

    "yea...your right...those are the stats for FAU....RV...are you at the buffet again or looking for the next Todd Dodge ???"

    Come on, man. You capitalize the "h" in homecoming and then don't start your next sentence with a capital letter? You can do better than that . . . and this is the second time I'll mention the ellipsis. Since someone clearly needs a lesson, here is some more reading on the subject: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/ellipsis.htm

    The ellipsis also indicate that you're omitting a lot of words, so I'm sure the reader is confused as to what they should insert during those breaks. They'd flow a lot better and make more sense as separate sentences.

    And I'll say this one more time: It's really only necessary to type one question mark.

    Finally, your = possession, you're = "you + are."

    Edit: Oh, and when abbreviating proper names, you should use a period and a space after each initial. So, it should be R. V. and not RV.

    _____

    But seriously, like others have said: It's usually a student that handles a lot of the stat-work for the site and they really don't need to be called out publicly like that. Chill out and calm down. Besides, it looks to me like they've fixed it.

    WOW....----u really learned me good!!! U must b a genius and all,,,,,I hope you to, two,too calm down !! ok????

  6. Official UTEP Game Score Prediction Thread

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    I'm guessing UTEP by about 17pts, could be more...Our defense played well last week, MiniMac did pretty well...our play calling and decisions were BAD...too many times we get 3 pts when we should be getting 7pts in the red zone....there is a lack of aggressiveness in our offense...don't see why we can't toss 5-6 yrd passes over the middle...why do we run the same running plays over and over again. Mac is just not agressive enough and this kills us when we get behind...when we get behind by a TD the alarm bells should go off and we should crank up the offense....think TCU., Baylor. etc...but NO, we puntz around until we are down by 14, then 21, then the bell rings in Mac's ear...too late !!

  8. UNT ...UTEP watch party

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    Well I was going to setup something at the Bottlecap in Grapevine but they close at 11PM...the game doesn't start until 9PM CT, so thats out....I'm thinking (and that hurts) we might try Peace Burger in Grapevine...good food, never been there that late, so I don't know about the crowd, etc...but they are open until 2am and they are almost in the same location.

    Any ideas folks...Bostons is close, but they are a smoking bar...me don't like that !!

    Lets get some ideas for a game watching location and then put something together...OK

  10. SMU Reportedly Offers Mack Brown $4 million per year

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    I remember an article about Lamar Hunt after his first year of owning the Dallas Texans (Kansas City Chiefs). He had lost several million dollars his first year of ownership. A reporter asked his dad, H. L. Hunt, how long Lamar could stand those kind of losses and his dad said, "Oh, about 150 years."

    SMU has a lot of rich alumni who also have a lot of rich friends. If we envision any kind of parity with SMU and TCU we'd better get with it now. Win, fill the stadium, win, triple or quadruple Mean Green Club donations, win, 10,000 season tickets and oh, yes...did I mention win? I'd love to see the DFW area become the next Raleigh-Durham with three P5 teams.

    Perhaps RV needs to be concerned about all those expensive suites at Apogee stadium that were on 5 yr commitments that end at the end of next year...with the record DanMac is showing...will they renew?

  12. such a great stadium, atmosphere tonight

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    I couldn't help but wonder -- when we can provide a consistent winning product how neat it will be.

    This stadium is awesome. Great cool weather tonight and great student turnout for a 204 (now 2-5 team). Outstanding tailgating.

    So many of the pieces are in place. If we could just have some consistency. It's going to happen it's just a matter of when. GMG

    We do have a wonderful stadium, great place to play...loud !! and the tailgating is great...so much fun...its a party win or lose !! always fun ! So, this is what we get in year FOUR of DanMac ?..poor management at a minimum !! All the "hot air" from Mac last season and now this !!! "Just the Begining"...of what ...another Todd Dodge era !

  13. Gutsy call lifts Southern Miss over North Texas

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    Unfortunately that really was the play of the day.

    North Texas had the chance to sustain a drive with fourth down and less than a yard at the USM 40 earlier in the game and decided to punt. That lack of aggression came back to bite North Texas.

    Although not mathematically eliminated, at this point North Texas is realistically eliminated from bowl contention.

    Put the most entertaining product possible on the field, run a hurry-up offense and fire away. On defense, blitze constantly: sure there will be times that we get burned, but there will also be sacks and forced interceptions. That's entertainment.

    And, just as important, use the remaining five games of this wasted season to prepare the players with the most potential to be ready for the September 5, 2015 kickoff when the scores will actually matter again.

    Damn the torpedos.....

    That is when I knew we would lose the game...I saw this same sh*t during Mac's first 2 years. It is very telling. Also, when we were down by 10 pts and 3 yrds short of a 1st, Mac decides to kick a field goal....then i knew we couldn't come back....a lot of this is bad coaching IMO.

  14. Grapevine UAB/UNT watch party

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    I talked with mgmt today about watch party at Bottlecap Alley in Grapevine....we can get some TV's and area reserved for the game, and if enough of us (vs others) might even be able to get the projection TV (100" screen?) since it will be after the Tx/OUgame. They have bottle beer buckets (6 to bucket) at $2 each for domestics, $3 imports, pitchers of PBR for $7, bud, etc for $9, imports for $10.50.

    Burgers and sandwiches are going to be 40% off

    I'm trying to get an idea of how many people would be interested...lots of TV's (most being the 42-48 inch), the food is good and beer is cold (also have mixed drinks). Service is good. So lets see if I can get an estimated headcount for Sat game

    We did a game last year and had about 40 people, all had a good time.

    Thanks,

  16. Watching party in Grapevine, anyone?

    I should make this although I'm a little nervous about this conversation you had with the lady. Last year the manager at Hooter's said the same thing about the Tulane game.. Told everyone up & down that he would order the channel and be showing the game... 10 minutes after kickoff & still trying on the phone , he says he can't get it.... Apparently it was a corporate thing

    Yes...I was caught up in this Hooter's hype...missed the first part of the game, until I could find someplace else to watch the game...needless to say, Hooters will never get my business in the future.....I will need to know for sure this deal at Bostons will not be a repeat of Hooter's deal last year, otherwise...off to ESSC...a great venue anyway you cut it.
