CO Green

So I went to Topeka to visit my brother for Thanksgiving. He is a reporter for KTKA and today I shadowed him on his job. Anyways to make a long story short, I started talking to one of their sports anchors and she asked where I went to school. I told her that I just graduated from UNT and she said, I quote, " Oh...the Mean Green". I told her I was shocked that she knew our nickname and I told her that some people call us the eagles. She was very surprised by that. She said obviously those people just don't know what they are talking about. This is great mean Green Nation!!! They know who we are in Topeka, Kansas, know if we could just get everyone else on board!!!!

CONGRATS JJ AND CREW!!!!!

I think this is going to be a key factor to why Dodge is going to be so successful this season. I think we will see a lot more discipline in this team.

Got in, thanks Harry!

Count me in! Thanks Harry!

I saw Caris today and she was super excited and thankful for all the support she has been getting. She really is a great choice to represent North Texas.

Rush Propst is the Todd Dodge of Alabama. Look at his record. That guy is no joke!

Wasn't Dodge considered for a job by the Cowboys?

different dickey

Question. How much of the statements being made are actual fact and how much is pure speculation?

K State wants this oneand they are playing like it. I think they will hold on.

Get well soon coach!

I think the assumption in this whole thing is that Nelson is employed as a car dealer at a dealership. He could be employed as a janitor or a maintenance person. I don't think anyone would see that as preferential treatment.

Not sure if its still the same but back when the Ridge was Jefferson Commons it said in the lease that the security gates were just there. There was no real or implied liablility to be placed on the property for their function. As far as I remember, those gates have always been open. I can't remember when they were ever functional.

Yes I was a cheerleader. I went to all the away football games during the 2004 season.

Quit because they didn't like the coach.

I appreciate your input but your informant was misinformed. A switch in companies from NCA to UCA is not a vertical switch but a lateral switch.

Wow, that is really mixed up. Let's break it down. Competition for UCA College Nationals is held in mid-January. Competition for NCA is held in late April. If anyone quit after competition with UCA they would miss out on half the basketball games. If they quit after competition with NCA they don't miss any. All of the national championships that were won were won in NCA. That is by far not weaker competition. I am curious to hear where you heard it was the weaker competition. NCA is one of the top cheerleading companies in the world.

Somewhere close to that. Close to half the squad quit because of the coach that just resigned.

anyone have the actual numbers?

Actuall SUMG, I think that restraining order should be number two. Not saying at all that this is the end of world as we know it but it shows a difference in what has been expressed to the cheerleaders and what the administration has demonstrated and what you all are saying that you want.

I think that you guys want people on the sidelines in uniform instead of cheerleaders. I think it is high time that you get what you asked for!

This should let you know how good this cheerleading coach was. After one semester at UNT he has resigned as head coach of the North Texas Cheerleaders.

Not to discount anything you said NT80 but cheerleading and dancing are two very different things. If you would like to go into more detail I would be happy to share it with you. Just shoot me a PM.

Actually Mean Mag you are wrong. The story goes like this. There was never a quota set on how many cheerleader should be at a game and then we would go to nationals. What happened was the AD stopped paying for the trip altogether and said if you want to go, find a way to get there. And actually if you want to get technical about everything, the AD funds the cheerleaders very little. The leadership over the cheerleaders comes from the AD but the money comes from the student services fee that all students pay. So in reality if money were the cause of leadership, the person over the cheerleaders would be Dr. Bonita Jacobs, VP for Student Development. If you really wanna go over my theory for why cheerleaders don't go to the basketball game, let me know and I will send you my dissertation. What really happened is that once the Athletic Department (AD) said that we had to switch companies from NCA to UCA they stopped paying for the trip to Nationals. Since then they had said that we are allowed to return to NCA nationals but they still refuse to fund it, even partially. Pretty much the AD doesn't care about having cheerleaders, they just want someone to be at the games with a uniform on. RV is not going to do anything until it becomes consistent that people with uniforms aren't on the sidelines. Am I saying that the current cheerleaders aren't responsible for coming to the games? Absolutely not, if they are on the squad they should show up for the games they signed up to do, if they feel they can no longer do that, then they should quit. My only problem is that if you want cheerleaders on the sidelines and you place them under the athletic department then treat them like athletes. Don't give them a second rate coach, empty promises, and a AD that doesn't care about having athletes, just people on the sidelines in uniform.
