UNLV's site doesn't show it to be on TV at all

Yeah.  meangreensports.com used to say TBD, but recently changed to SSSEN.  

[Planning ahead for UNLV game Sept 17th]

meangreensports.com is showing that the TV coverage for this game will be on SSSEN.   Anybody know what that is?  Google usually does me proud, but not this time.

Weird to post this without his stats in about a half trailing after QB1 was pulled, so for those curious:

16/26 for 210 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT

3 rushes for 20 yards

EDIT: And even more context, which also feels important: https://www.cfl.ca/games/6251/bc-lions-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders/

 

Even more context, Fine was pulled and they put the starter back in after Fine fumbled in the opposing red zone.

Hope everybody is having a good Friday! I can't wait for next Saturday! Please spread the word and tell other alum, family and friends about this new Chopshop Sports Bar and Garage! Awesome staff and a lot of cool laid-back regulars including me. 

I just spoke with Chop Shop, they said we could hang a UNT Flag in the facility. Does anybody have an extra one? If not, I can go buy one. 

Thanks! 

I have an NT Alumni flag they can have if nothing else surfaces.

I’ll be in Witcha Falls, Texas for the Hotter than Hell Bike Ride. 
 

What network is the UNT vs UTEP game streaming on?  

It’s on Stadium.  They might be streaming it on their app or through Facebook or something.  It’s on channel 47 on DirecTV in DFW area, but not sure about Witchita Falls.

Small arcade and billiard area if you are so inclined.  More pics.

So far, I have not seen any listing for TV coverage for this game.  Hopefully, something changes in the next week.

It is showing up on the Spectrum cable guide.  Channel 24.  Should also be on channel 47 in DFW area over air and on DirecTV. 

[Group formed to bring back UNT baseball?]

They should start by paying for a baseball forum to move this thread to.  

[RIP Mike Hickmon]

It was good to hear George Dunham dedicate an entire segment on Hickmon this morning on the Ticket.  He referenced the UNT game against NM State also.

Don't count on it, blue hair girls with vapes is a lot for SMU alumni to stomach.  I struggle to go to the game and I'm desensitized from being local.

I’m looking forward to see how Aune does with a healthy WR corps.

For those looking for context, Mike Hickmon was a running back at UNT 1998-2002.

I’m asking for you.  The Tarrant County Chapter of the Alumni Association was supposed to make a location decision last week. 

There will also be a UNT Watching Party at Boomer Jacks in Bedford.  Does that shorten your drive enough?

Oh, and if the UTEP game gets boring, take a break and catch some of the John Mellenkamp tribute band Texan Fool that will be performing live next door on the outdoor stage. 

This is gonna be a party.

Was pleasantly surprised to see a UNT commercial during the first commercial break of the Cowboy’s preseason game.

It appeared to be a new commercial or at least one I hadn’t seen.

Also thought it was interesting at the end it said Denton | Frisco | Online with no reference to the Dallas campus.

I believe UNT Frisco is an extension of UNT Denton while UNT Dallas is a separate affiliated university.  That’s my understanding anyway.

Thank you for finding this spot. This should be an easier sell to the wife. Appreciate you! 

One of the managers (Melanie) said that it’s popular for the husbands to show up with their wives to watch games and the wives drift next door to the wine bar.  Not being sexist or stereotyping, that’s just what Melanie told me. 

[2022 UNT Football Watching Parties - UPGRADE]

By the way, a big thanks to @Big Z for scouting this place out for us.

[2022 UNT Football Watching Parties - UPGRADE]

We have a new location for UNT Football Watching Parties for those in or around Collin County.  McKinney ChopShop and Sports Garage opened in February/March of this year located in the Hub 121 area (live music amphitheater) at the intersection of the Sam Rayburn Tollway (Hwy 121) and Alma Drive in McKinney.  This place is great!  It's two stories with decks on both levels as well as a large indoor seating area.  Bars on both levels.  It's also connected to a swanky wine bar next door called Wine-A-Little.  I'm working with them to see if they will start carrying the UNT Alumni wine from Cassaro Winery & Vineyard.  The first watching party at ChopShop will be when we play UTEP at 8pm on 8/27 (just two weeks away).  As usual we'll have door prizes given away at half time as well as a lot of Mean Green swag.  The ChopShop will also feature very special Mean Green Shots for $5.  I hope you can join us.  #GoMeanGreen #BeatUTEP #UNTAlumni

Who was the only Sun Belt team to never beat Todd Dodge?

Barely.   Thanks Tobe.

Um, is that Littrell in that SUV that just drove across the Airport Road bridge in the background?  Just trying to find the head coach in the pic.

The gorilla would rip the arms off the grizzly bear and use them to beat the bear into submission.

I’ll be there.
