Hey, with the interest there seems to be in the bus trip to the OU game....how about a bus trip to the SMU Game???? I know it's close to Denton, but the parking absolutely SUCKS around that place...if we take a bus and leave early enough, from say Fouts Field....surely we could get enough folks to fill a bus at $30 or $35 a person...it could be a balst bringing coolers and stuff on the bus...and having another great time with UNT famdom. What do you think? Anyone besides me think it might be fun, and save a few headaches???
GO MEAN GREEN!

I'll ask again...is anyone else besides me in Section 36?????? I hope I am not in a sea of red!!!!! If you are in Sec. 36 let me know, so I'll know there are some friendly faces around somewhere in my section.
-
I think mine are in section 36...what's up with that? Anyone else in Sec. 36? I see "most" seem to be in Sec. 35 and then I see a Sec. 40. WHAT???? Are they trying to spread us out? Do they do that to all the visiting teams? This seems a bit odd to me. What's up?

Me, I am a bit surprised...with the delay, i assumed it would be Vizza and said so...but, I am not the head coach and I am not one of the best QB coaches going...Todd Dodge is! I am 100% behind this decision, and my congrats to DM for hanging in there and winning the nod. I would also agree that we have a great backup in Vizza, and I'll bet (with a little more confidence this time) that he will see a good bit of playing time THIS SEASON. I hope it's due to us being way ahead in games and not due to anything else. Go DM, GO TD and GO MEAN GREEN. You gotta love the excitement around UNT these days!

BUMP ... Let's get the second bus filled!

My wife and I had a great time at TJ Hartford's this last Staurday. As far as all the photos they should end up on the UNT Exes events site in the not too distant future. Brian and TJ Hartford's were great to help stage this event. I think we should all make sure that we visit the restaurant again and support the folks who support UNT. Brian is a grad and wanted to do something to promote UNT. THANK YOU BRIAN AND T J HARTFORDS. I think we had a really nice turnout, and I think everyone who attended had a good time being part of the event. Thanks also to the Denton Chapter of the Exes and to the Athletic Department.
It's fun to be part of what's happening at UNT these days...both on the athletic and the academic side!
SEE YOU AT NORMAN for the first game of the T Dodge era at UNT....it will be great! Go Mean Green....

My wife and I will be there!
So will the SINK NAVY T-Shirts...come get 'em!

Just wondering...I hear that there is a possibility that the Denton Exes Chapter is considering sponsoring a 5K run to raise scholarship dollars. What do you think, and do you think there would be a good turnout for such an event in early spring? No real details as yet, except that the run would be "around" the campus on a Saturday morning. Anyone think there might be some individuals/businesses out there that would like to help sponsor such an event to help raise scholarship dollars. These things can cost a few bucks to stage, so every sponsor dollar would "save" a scholarship dollar from going to expenses. O.k., I know you folks aren't shy...so, what do you think? I know our opinions won't make or break the run possibilities, but, hey, there are lots of "true believers" on GMG.com, right?
-
FFRick...I agree...bring on the "Ladies of UNT". There would be plenty more than the twelve needed for a year's worth. Just take a stroll across campus...anytime!
O.K., ladies...we can do a "Men of UNT" too....how about doing it as a scholarship event to raise money for athletics...hey, we could kick off the stadioum fundraising with the set...the "Ladies and Men of UNT". Nothing X-Rated...just some great shots of some of UNT's finest! What say you?
-
My wife and I will be there. We have eaten at TJ Hartford's several times and have always enjoyed ourselves. This should be a fun event for the whole family. The "Sink Navy" T-shirts will be there for sale along with Exes membership "stuff". The Athletic Dept. will have posters, schedules, etc., etc. And with the cheerleaders there doing the "cheek" thing with the eagle decals, everyone should have a blast...hey...free chips and salso and $1.25 pints and cheerleaders....what's not to like???
The event will run from 1PM to 6PM on the 18th. See you there...and wear your Mean Green "stuff". Thanks to T J Hartford's for wanting to do something to support UNT! We need more folks like this...thanks for the support. Now, let's get the Mean Green Nation out to support TJ Hartford's.
GO MEAN GREEN!

I'm a bit with "Huff" on this one. Yes, we need to build a new stadium to replace Fouts ASAP. But, until that happens, I am glad to see a bit of "faceliffting" going on at Fouts. Like it or not, it is our home for several more years, at least, and I, for one, would like the "old girl" to look as pretty as possible while it is still our "home". Lots of memories originate from Fouts Field for me. But, I'm looking forward to new great memories ... this year, next year, etc. Fouts or new stadium...just win baby!
GO MEAN GREEN....

No shirts available at the cookout as that was all athletic department shirts/hats, etc. The Sink navy shirts are an Exes thing. They can be purchased through the Exes at UNT. They are for sale at the Exes Office on campus...and, as I understand it...they will be for sale before each home game leading up to the Navy game by the Exes in the Tailgating Fun Zone area...look for the Exes tent...should be there. Hope to see lots and lots of folks at the Navy game wearing the Sink Navy Tee! GO MEAN GREEN....And, by the way...if you call or stop by the Exes office to get a Tee, why not join the Exes at the same time if you are not already a member??? Just a thought!
-
Make sure you are wearing your "Sink Navy" T-Shirt to the game. The Middies love this sort of thing...have you ever been to an Army-Navy game? It's amazing what signs are in the stadium. We don't need to go there, but our "Sink Navy" T-shirts will definitely be a hit with the Navy crowd...they "understand" these things quite well. I would not be surprised if some of the Navy crowd shows up in their own version of a "sink UNT"...or something...T-Shirt.
Anyway, I hear the Exes will have the shirts on sale at the first home game...and perhaps all the games leading up to Navy. You can, of course, drop by the Exes Center on campus and buy a shirt or two or three.
We need to turn FOUTS GREEN.....
My son is a naval officer, and I'm sending him a "Sink Navy" shirt...I've dared him to wear it around the base just to see what he can stir up! He may just be smarter than that, but........
This will be a tough game for us, but I think we can win the thing here at home. Would be a great win for us...We need to schedule Army, Navy and Air Force as often as we can. I'll bet they will play us home and home since the DFW area is such a great supplier of Midshipmen and Cadets to all the Service Academies.
GO MEAN GREEN...BEAT NAVY! Heck...BEAT EVERYONE ON THE SCHEDULE!
-
Not my idea of a quality "sports guy"...I can do completely without Bryant Gumbel ... or Pam Ward for that matter!
-
AND...that is what is GREAT about TD and his attitude...he EXPECTS to go 12-0! I'm with him on that attitude...you are 100% right...if, as a team and as a coaching staff, you do not expect to go 12-0, you darn sure will not! Let's just don't, as fans, get our expectations so high that we become unreasonable as to what to expect from this first TD team. Me, I expect to see a GREAT game and a GREAT effort each and every time the team takes the field. I expect them to EXPECT that they can beat any and all comers.
As RV said at the Cookout...no loner will we schedule a game for the money...when we go, we go to win! We want folks to come to see UNT play, not to see who is playing UNT! Not exact quotes for sure, but I think that's the message to both the team and the fans. Sure is great to see that attitudel...you can't be a big time program if you don't think and act like a big time program. Let's welcome UNT to the BIG TIME! GO MEAN GREEN!
Buy Season Tickets, join the Exes and join the Mean Green Club! It's fun to be GREEN again!!!!!!!

It was GREAT to see the turnout at the Kickoff Cookout last saturday evening. I am told that over 600 attended. It was crowded, and that's a good thing...I think we saw some "growing pains" in that the food line, a single line, was stacked up for sometime as folks tried to catch a bite to eat...but, the reason it was is due to a large extent by the number of people attending. Not near as many in the past. Even with the temp nearing 100 there was no sign of anything but excitement about the season to come.
One word of caution folks...I hope some folks expectations for this season are not set too high...I heard people talking about a 7 win season. Not sure at all about that. Let's let this new coachiong staff get their feet under them before we place too high expectations on their new program. I would hate to see a less than full stadium on Sept. 22nd for our first home game because we didn't beat OU or Arkansas on their home turff!
It has been quite awhile since I was so excited about the start of UNT football season...and...the excitement is growing. The line was long to pick up season tickets, and the boxes holding the ticket envelopes were many! I hope we get a good count of season ticket sales before too long. I would bet they are up a great many from last season.
If you havene't signed up for the us trip to OU...think about doing so. It will be a great time, and it's a great price!
Let's make certain we will Fouts for the first...and every...home game this season. Let's get behind this team and coaching staff. O.K., enough alreday...I am fired up and ready for Dodge-Ball! A good time was had by all (at least all I talked with) Staurday evening...and it has only just begun.
While you are at it...Joing the Exes and join the Mean Green Club!

They are free if you were a season ticket holder AND were RENEWING AND you met the deadline for early renewal. That's the way it was explained to me. There are no hard tickets as such...just reserve you spot and number of attendees if you meet the two above requirements...if not call and reserve your spot and pay up...it's a pretty low cost event...lots of fans, lots of friends and lots of fun...plus you can eat and drink...see you there!
-
As I am not "chat board" proficient...I'll risk the "heat" I will surely take and ask...
What does "Bump" mean when one responds to a post?????
-
Isn't it grand??? I love this little bit of reverse strip-tease. I think the folks in the Athletic dept. who thought this up should be given a pat on the back...just how often will folks be going to the web site to see the uniform develop? Great idea...the idea is to get folks to the site as often as possible in the hopes of generating interest, anticipation for the team, new donars, ticket sales, etc., etc. When was the last time you saw something like this on the Athletic Dept. site????? Give them some credit for doing something positive!
GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!

Hey, it's SMU...what did you expect? They never have had "a clue". But, put me down in the camp of those who like the "It's Wide Open" thing! Has oh so many different meanings...but, for me, it says something about how we expect to see some exciting football around UNT...for a change...a VERY good change. See you at Fouts!
-
I've got two tickets and am #8 on the list for the bus. This is going to be lots of fun...so, let's get this thing filled up and rolling. How great would it be if we needed two buses????? Come on...get on board. My two tickets cost $94.00 - not cheap to see OU these days! I hear there are plenty left...check with the ticket office ASAP and get onboard for the first game of the Dodge era at UNT! GO MEAN GREEN...see ya on the bus!
-
Just a question...what about OU tickets? Are we "ordering" for OU as yet? Thanks...
-
So, Adler...where do you work and where do you live? Let's see...if it is Southern Denton County...why not start your own Exes Chapter...there is, in fact, susposed to be a southern Denton County Chapter...but, it never seems to get off the ground because no one wants to step up and volunteer their time and talent to get it going. You could do that, and then you could start your meetings at whatever time and on whatever day you wanted. How about that? I KNOW for a fact that the current Denton County board would be more than willing to help you get it going. It would probably take a wee bit of effort on your part, and on others who live in southern Denton County, but the effort would be worth it...if you are really interested. The payoff is worth the effort if you make it so.
I will say again...I mentioned the Denton Board is looking for volunteers to help on a committee to set up a 5K in early March....Still no one has responded with an offer to volunteer. I'll bet they would even set the meetings for 7PM.
Any interest?

That's good news...we need to keep the sales going. It's high time that "walk-up" ticket sales were only general admission/end zone seats! Now, what about the student sections? Will we actually look across and see students in the seats for a change???? Let's hope so...I recall when I was an undergrad...oh, so many years ago...that we went early as pledges to "stake out" seats for the fraternity...there were excellent student crowds and it was great to be in the stands as a student...so, where have they gone??? Anyone know what is being done to get the student side filled????

The soccer team has been a shining star for the UNT athletic program for some time now...both on and off the field. John H. and his teams seem to just get better and better...we are recruiting quality players and quality students and quality people to this progra. My hat's off to the women's soccer team. Every time I get to see them play, it's a great time...win or lose. Not many home losses however for the soccer team.
Are you aware that Coach Hedlund also has a on that is a fantastic young player? I believe he is on the National Team for his age group.
O.K., so I am a soccer "guy"....this is a great program and getting better all the time. It's NCAA's for this team this year...We need to schedule SMU and Texas A&M each year...great games, and we can beat them! Even if "G" does have a quality program at A&M also, the UNT program is righet there too! Go Coach Hedlund and go UNT SOCCER!!!!!!
Now...let's add men's soccer! It WAS the "winningest program" in the history of UNT when they "killed it"...I was there when it happened...bad day...I still remember the meeting as if it were yesterday. But, that's a story for another time...let's get behind OUR UNT SOCCER TEAM and help them make it to the NCAA's AGAIN this season!
GO MEAN GREEN SOCCER!!!!!
