I think they gave them out to trick or treaters on Halloween too. But seriously, it seems that there are hundreds of ways to get free tickets to the games.

I see a commercial for the Gridiron Giveaway almost every time I watch tv...which isn't much since I'm completely up to my eyes in school work. But it is insane how much promotional material is across San Antonio and the surrounding cities. ...On the plus side there is a billboard by Brooks Medical Center that says, "UNT a top military school" (or something like that) -GI Jobs

Completely agree, the buzz seems to be fading. UTSA also has a ton of promotional things going on right now too. Example: Buy a large pizza and get 2 free tickets, buy a combo meal and get a free ticket, etc. The one thing I hate though is going into an Academy or Dicks and seeing racks and shelves stocked with UT, A&M and UTSA apperal throughout. I remember in Denton I'd have to search for UNT gear in off campus venues.

Pretty good actually. Today was their lowest I think with just over 25,000. It's sad to say but all of SA seems to be behind them, and with the NBA not happening there isn't much competition down here.

Maybe I was a little extreme, you guys got me on that. What my message in my mind came down to really was, how will the team ever get better if we are constantly bashing it? Recruits do look at this board, they do go to games, and they do know that all of us fans have high expectations of them and the coaching staff here. So instead of making post that say "Please take #21 out", "What was McCarney thinking", "Derek Thompson is the absolute worse qb I've ever seen", etc. Lets focus on how we all can make this team better. As stated in my message, I worked as a tutor for the athletic department. I had job offers with other places that paid way more, but I supported my school. I turned down a raise to another student could be hired for different courses that I didn't know. But the thing I am most proud of doing for UNT Football is, I went to the games. I brought friends, I brought family and I brought anyone that I could. Because if there is anything a recruit hates when I was there and probably now, is seeing a beautiful $78 million stadium empty. Btw, on the positive. I think Derek Thompson has matured quite a bit, and will continue to grow. His arm may not be perfect right now but his knowledge is growing. I don't know if coach told him to hold on to it more on zone read options, but it sure looked good when he took it a couple of times for 10+ yard early in the game. Go Mean Green.

I promised myself not to post on here as long as I knew players in uniform. I recently graduated in May, and in my previous 3 years at UNT I spend a majority of my time working as a tutor for the athletic department. I am proud to say I had the pleasure of working with many of the young men and women we cheer on every day. I got to know many of the players personally, and I gladly to say I support the Mean Green. I’ve always loved reading post on the website; I loved to hear the common excitement for a new season, new coach, and new stadium. I used to have the pleasure of driving by the stadium almost every day as I went to work at a job I loved. However recently, I’ve started graduate school in San Antonio and I have yet to see the stadium and the team in person since. Still that hasn’t veered my support for my alma mater. Even during tough times and losses I still support my school; players, coaches, athletic trainers, managers and everyone else involved with representing UNT. Many of you however, find these tough times to an opportunity publicly call out the young gentlemen on the field. Do you know who they are, do you know what they go through day to day, were you ever in their place, and do you really even care? I’ll give you a little inside from what I saw. A lot of these guys committed to a program that was 5-31 with Dodge and usually close to bottom of all the FBS. They came here to win and that’s the reason they are still here. They don’t like losing any more than a fan likes seeing a loss. They go to a school where much of the student body doesn’t care about them, and when times get rough either do alums. Do you think calling them out publicly motivates them? It doesn’t, and it sure doesn’t help their attitude or confidence. Do you really wonder why no we haven’t had a solid junior or senior quarterback, or why we have players quit or transfer? These players give it their all every Saturday for a fan base and school that seems to not care. They have yet to quit on each other and yet to quit on their coach. Never in the game yesterday did I see a player quit on a play. Yes, sometimes they got out played and weaknesses were exposed but they never quit. Finally who are you to question the coaching staff? Aren’t these they guys you praised about a few months ago. Have you ever been on a top 25 coaching staff or won a BCS Championship? I bet not, but I do believe these guys know what they are doing. Many of you say you’ve given up on this season and won’t even try to make it to anymore games. Give me your tickets, I would love to go. Beats watching it online. I may just be a kid to some of you, but many of you are acting like a child to me. Finally, please shut your mouth about football or any other sport unless it is in support for the team. And most importantly GO MEAN GREEN.

Our non-conference 4 teams were announced back in July and the other 8 games will be sun belt ones, so what's the chance dodge has the +.500 record next year? Non-conference @ Clemson vs. Rice @ Army vs. Kansas State Conference Middle Tennessee State Arkansas State Western Kentucky Troy Florida International Florida Atlantic Louisiana-Lafayette Louisiana-Monroe I honestly have faith in the program, but its not going to be an easy one next year. http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...&SPSID=9058
