North Dakota has cheap booze and fast women.....or is fast booze and cheap women? Seriously, there are a lot of bars that have drive up windows and sell booze until they close at 2am. At least in the "Magic City"(Minot) they do. In all honesty they are nice and very hard working people up there for the most part that love that team! The kids that could maybe have gone to play at Minnesota or even another major university may prefer the opportunity to be viewed as a "celebrity" playing at NDSU for 4 to 5 years instead of having to go compete elsewhere. I would imagine there may be a little bit of less than legal booster support as well.

We can make this pretty simple. If you have questions or comments about our team or our coach, most of us will be out there on Saturday at the end of the 1st Quarter. We will be standing right there on the field we never got to play on but like to think we helped contribute to building. We can address OOC schedules, budget issues, "us vs. them mentality", our "wildness" off the field, etc. I get this is a forum but it does get read. It was being read even back when we were still playing so I'm sure that our current players and more recent grads look at it as well. So do potential recruits. Hank Dickenson is working his ass off right now to get former athletes to reconnect to the University and what you are doing here when being negative is not helping. If you want our program to continue to grow, stop contributing to the divide between fans and former players/coaches. There is a lot of exciting stuff going on with North Texas Athletics. Embrace the past, the current and the future. More importantly help create a culture that welcomes all to support the Mean Green. Successful programs have great coaches, players, facilities, rivalries, recruiting, fan bases, alumni programs, fundraising and history among other things. I think you can all agree that we are about as close to success in these things as we have ever been but have a long way to go. The question is, are you going to support that when most of us are back in Denton this weekend or hold on to your “statistics” and your grudge?

I will gladly take them. Are they still available? I'm in Carrollton and can meet in you in Plano anytime.

I apologize if this is posted and I just overlooked it, but what is the length of the game? Are we playing 20 minute halves or 15 minute quarters?

Hey Kram, Sign me up plus 1. Details listed below. Thanks! Shibby: 6'1 190 lbs. Shirt M Former UNT Athlete Basketball Skills: More known for Defense than Offense. Think Ron Artest before the World Peace. BMac: 6'3 205 lbs. Shirt XL Former High School All District player Basketball Skills: Can play in the paint and/or shoot a 28ft. 3-pointer. Pretty well rounded but not the fastest out there. Were both still actively playing in Basketball leagues that are way too competitive for people our age. Please note that doesn't mean playing well. See you out there....
