Geaux Cajuns.

4,000 fans sound like ten thousand at the Super Pit. I'd love to get that many NT fans for a game sometime. I recall how teams hated to come to the old Men's Gym (now the Ken Bahnsen Gym) back in the 60s. We could do it again. But YOU have to come for us to do it. GO MEAN GREEN

That's too bad. But with 1,357 fans, I bet they outdrew us tonight (vs UTPB). GO (to the games)MEAN GREEN

Speaking of signs, how about one that the Cheerleaders could hold up to help the crowd sing the "correct" words to the fight song ? Come to think of it, it might not even require a new sign, just re-arranging the signs we already have. GO MEAN GREEN

John-The Chamber of Commerce mixer you speak of is the first home game this year. Seems like this decade. Jan 20, vs. UALR. They're suppose to have several drawings (according to my invite). Perhaps they could be held during timeouts during the game. That's a great story about your friend Mr. Kenney. I'm sure that there was traffic at the Ali-Fraiser fight.. But which NT game was/has ever been so crowded that one couldn't go 60 miles out of the parking lot and not have to slow down ? And what's so damn interesting that these people got to get home for ? GO MEAN GREEN

BandGeek-I've noticed the post halftime stampede of the PIP (players in progress) also. Perhaps if, in the future, the Athletic Dept. had them put on a post game show as well. Or maybe 2 half court games after the final period. This is not limited to PIP kids and parents. Watch the people that sing the National Anthem. Most of the time he/she/they will leave before the players are ready for tipoff. I have some friends that sit in front of me. They've been there for years. They always leave with about 7-8 minutes left. To "avoid the crowd" they say. I've never known what they were so anxious to get away for. GO MEAN GREEN

Thanks SUMG-But the question I was really asking is, were we out of players ? There some rule I'm not familar with ? Or did our Coach just not count correctly ? Did somebody screw up ? GO MEAN GREEN

Lucy -- 'splain this to me . How is it that we only had FOUR players on the floor after the timeout ?

I just looked (12-29-04 12:06 pm) and we're # 52. GO MEAN GREEN

who are you ?

I hate it when I invite someone to go to Fouts to watch NT. "Who are they palying ?" What difference does it make. Come and see NT play. If someone CAN'T go to New Orleans, well then they can't. But if they can and DON'T, well we've already got plenty of those kind of "fans." GO TO NEW ORLEANS GO MEAN GREEN

Your season basketball tickets are included with your season football tickets. Uh, you DID get season football tickets didn't you ? GO MEAN GREEN

Too bad he didn't learn to spell "alma mater" while he was here. My freshman English prof. Dr. Burns would have whipped our ass if we had made such a mistake. I was afraid of that woman from the first day of class, but I can spell. GO MEAN GREEN

I closed the store early to get to the game on time. As I was leaving, a couple came in and asked for a repair I chose to do on the spot. Now, in more of a hurry, I left forgetting the 12 inch wrench I had stuck in my pocket. And I didn't think about it until I heard "no outside water" in line to get in Fouts. I stuck my bottle in my pocket, only to find that wrench. No one said a word. Now it was a wrench and not a gun, but I couldn't help but laugh that people were being asked to dispose of water when I brought in a hunk of steel. On a side note, I was able to adjust the gears on RV's bicycle at halftime. GO MEAN GREEN and hurry

I don't care one way or the other, but I saw Michael Irvin at the Orlando Airport this weekend. He had on the most ridiculous outfit I've ever seen. GO MEAN GREEN

Very nice, Rick. I'd love to see history re-written in France. And make those guys have to read "Lance Armstrong-USA" for ever. GO LANCE. GO MEAN GREEN

I saw all but 2 home games and did not attend any out of town. I feel we're still about .500.

Last night was my first ever Collegiate softball game. I had a blast. For those of you GMG friends that were like me, come out Friday. We play HARVARD at 3:00pm. GO MEAN GREEN

Is Jimmy Tubbs (Oklahoma) a relation to Billy Tubbs ?

MEAN GREEN...The perfect name

or the GREEN JEANS

Was Michael DeGrate's 88 ft shot against New Orleans the greatest shot in NT Basketball history ? I've seen lots of NT games in the Super Pit and a good many in the old Men's Gym (a gym for old men ?) and I can't even come close to s shot like that. Guard Pat Hicks hit a jumper as time ran out to beat Texas back in the early eightys, but that was more impressive as to who we beat as it was a fine shot. I'm not even sure the three point shot existed back then. So what's your favorite MEAN GREEN bucket ?

Headline: Harry seen in dress and heels-------------------------------------Former Blondie singer Deborah Harry was seen today walking down ...........

me too

Forgive me for not saying so sooner, but I thought the chorus (men only I think) that sang the National Anthem before the last home game was as good and as inspiring as any I've heard at any sporting event ever. No country and western tricked up freestyle stuff, just a dignified Anthem saluting our great country. I hope they can return often.
