  1. 1. Big 12 invite - We have got to get out of Conference USA, its killing our athletics

    2. A new basketball coach - Who does this guy think he is signing a former SEC conference recruit

    3. Drop Tennis and Golf - just because

    4. A new AD - its clear this guy has no vision for North Texas athletics

    5. A new football coach - Coach Mac has probably done something wrong

    Truthfully.. looking forward to baseball coming on board so I can visit campus more often and would like to see some indoor practice facilities for football and hoops

  2. Coach Benford: What are our jersey's going to look like? Do you have any pull in fixing that sidewalk? How about a mid-court hanging scoreboard? So do we play Kentucky or North Carolina at the Super Pit next year? That's really my only questions.

    I look forward to your press conference.

    WELCOME COACH BENFORD, I like the hire!

  3. Amen Lonnie... I was there for everyone of those games. Do you think our fans were happier about beating the likes of Idaho St as opposed to playing at Alabama and getting drilled (for those who don't know the answer its "Hell Yes"). When a program has been "down" wins are all that matters. As Rick stated to us, there is a real easy answer for not having to play at Alabama, at LSU, etc... show your a$$ up to our beautiful stadium regardless of the opponent and things will change.

  4. I've referenced this before and I think it's a great idea. At KState they have a Loyalty Season ticket program. If you go to at least 5 of 6 home games your season ticket price is $99 from year to year. In our case something like $50-$75 seems like a fair price. I've been told that might be cheaping down the stadium and the program. My thoughts these coaches and these players don't give a dam how much you paid to get in the stadium they just want you there cheering for the team. Now addressing getting these students to come to a game for free, I give up on how to fix that problem because that blows my mind.

  5. Tap the breaks Coach Emmitt on saying bad things about Manhattan or I will be our team's Lamar Odom on Saturday. You need to pay visit, its a great college town (weird that a town actually gets behind their college).. most importantly a good bar district. Clearly your comments are RV's, JJ's and Mean Green Club employees fault so i'll forgive.

  6. I didnt stay to long either but agree Trice is the punt returner I bet. Really tried to focus on new d-coordinator, great intensity and very detailed, love that. First day but you can just tell a big difference between day one last year. Everyone that can needs to venture out there and show some support. Coach Mac looked great and yelled out the first circle drill is Saturday (maybe we can have one at the gmg.com b-ball game).

  7. LSU.... possibly.. love to party

    K-State.. yep that's a given..fun place to go for those who enjoy a college town atomsphere (great bar district).. might be dressed in a cat head with wings and feathers. (FLO-MO need to make this one)

    Florida Atlantic.. already booked.. fun South Beach weekend and an away game a$$-kickin on FAU

    Houston.. yep.. should be good crowd and fun tailgating

    Middle.. nope.. we are getting to Florida cheaper than Nashville

    Monroe.. yep.. another away game a$$-kickin

    WKU... see Middle

    BCS Bowl Buster game... hell yes!

  8. Maybe Denton and UNT students will support the SOW on the helmet after we have a rally (of course during the women’s 1st round Sun Belt game) at the upgraded Super Pit. We can show the new all black uniforms on the jumbo tron. No one will show because the athletic department didn’t personally call anyone and this will jeopardize us getting into the Conference USA/ MWC alliance and we will be stuck playing 4 homes games in our new stadium (with in operable turbines) against FCS schools.

  9. Another great post Vet.. guess what our students aren't going to give a crap about the likes of East Carolina or San Jose State coming to Apogee. The problem is not us loyal fans who are on this board talking and following UNT athletics every move. Regional teams are a good way to at least attempt to get people to come to our fantastic stadium.. guess what the likes of LSU, USC, Virginia Tech aren't venturing this way anytime soon. We had Indiana at home.. was that crowd really what we should settle for?? no way.. at least with Texas State or someone in the area we at least have the possibility of getting a few of their fans up and having some of our students invite their buddies who go to these schools up for a weekend of football and partying in our town.

  10. What a great turnout last night. Just listening to the coaches and AD talk gets me fired up for what has happened and what is to come under this regime.

    I am very proud to call myself a North Texas Mean Green fan. As coach said last night it’s time to stick our chest out and get off our ____ and be proud of what’s going on here.

    I particularly enjoyed him calling out the city of Denton. The athletic department has basically done all they can and they have now tasked us loyal fans to go recruit anyone we can to show up at our football and basketball games (yes other sports as well). I for one will take pride and do what I can…

    It appears we are only going to get 5 homes games this year. I like how Rick was open and said if we get butts in the stands then we won’t have to play more than one “money” game a year (I like the attitude that these aren’t just money games these are opportunities to make North Texas known). September 8th we need everyone to embrace the home opener as our opportunity to show these kids we care. Yes its Texas Southern but who cares we need to fill that stadium up and make this an event somehow (Every year K-State’s home opener is called a Family Reunion and we play the likes of Eastern Kentucky, UMass and get 50,000 in the stands… I had to mention the Wildcats at least once).

    It all starts with getting someone to attend one game, one event and they will see this is a great thing going on right at our doorstep.

    GO MEAN GREEN and let’s kick some ____ !
