I picked up a pretty big collection of cards to sell on consignment from an acquaintance. I haven't gone through many of them yet but I think it's mostly late 80s-mid 90s stuff. I doubt there will be anything in there worth much since most cards sell for under a buck since the card market sputtered out in the 90s. But if any of you guys are looking for a specific card or player from that time period PM me and I'll let you know if it's in there as I go through everything.

Does anyone know where I can buy a North Texas tailgating tent? I’ve heard that in the past, the athletic department tries to sell them as it gets closer to the season. What are some other good tailgating tips besides the usual grill, stereo, beer, and TV's? GMG

Hey guys. So as I mentioned a few months ago, I took up the call to represent our alma mater in the 132+ Project on /r/CFB, which is detailing every single division 1 college football school in the nation during the offseason. Today was our turn and I just submitted my post ten minutes ago. Have a gander! I made sure to make it a comprehensive doozy. http://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1how8l/132_teams_in_132_days_north_texas_mean_green/ This post has been promoted to an article

Hey folks, So a user named TexaninNYC and I will are participating in a grand series of Reddit/r/CFB threads that is covering 139 college football teams in as many days to fill the time before the 2013 season. Essentially, fans are asked to go in depth and profile their alma maters in glorious Reddit fashion for all the upvotes, praise and discussion of 47,000 Redditors in the College Football subreddit. Example, today's profile of the Tulane Green Wave: http://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/1bnz54/132_teams_in_132_days_the_tulane_green_wave/ Rather than attempt to compile all of the information required myself (w/Tex'n'NYC), I figured why not open it up and crowd-source this? So, if you have anything in particular you want mentioned in this format, please do not hesitate to PM me. We have some time to make this good - they obviously did not take much of the conference realignment picture into their scheduling, and thus we've been lumped to present with the rest of the Sun Belt in early July. Ugh, I know. So anywho, fire away!

Heard he wants to come to unt. possible walk on what do ya'll think http://youtu.be/IalnPESCrjo

I sat behind a gentleman at the game last Tuesday who was on a mission to see every division one stadium. Apogee was number 112 on his journey. He called it not just one of the nicest stadiums of its size, but one of the nicest he had seen. I consistently see visiting fans complimenting Apogee, and that makes me proud.

So we talk about the game, basketball, and a little about soccer. Listen.

I was attending the President's Dinner tonight at the Alumni Pavilion with Dr Rawlins. It's a chance for club and organization presidents to mingle with each other and get in touch with members of Rawlins cabinet and the higher ups of Student Affairs. During Rawlins' speaking portion of the event, he, in his usual frank and honest manner, was of course encouraging us all to get our organizations out to Tuesday's game and all the festivities with it ..... and then addressed the rumor of canceling classes at 3PM that day. This is how it went as well as I can remember: Universities today for better or worst (he considers it better) get no greater coverage and recognition than in their athletic prowess, ability, and turnout. UNT admittedly gets very few opportunities to access such a wide audience in a prime, uninterrupted time slot on national TV. That's why next Tuesday is so important. He personally is for the idea of closing the academic campus and encouraging students to attend the game, BUT he recognizes that executing such a policy in the middle of a semester during lab times, etc. would not be universally beneficial to all students or faculty. Thus, he is not canceling classes in any way. He is sending out a memo to all faculty tomorrow morning explaining his position, but will include the proviso that if a teacher or professor wished to alter their schedule or academic calendar for the event, it will be up to them and they certainly would not be frowned upon or faulted for such. It was entirely surprising and off the cuff to hear him address it. He went on to extol his love for our team and Coach Mac, even giving his own analysis of the last few games. It all just completely reinforced why I love having Rawlins as our President and I really hope he doesn't consider going back into retirement any time soon. *SIDE NOTE: got to seem some sketches on the reworking of the Master Plan today as well. Lots of cool stuff going on, but relevant to this board: It's an overarching goal to completely unify the identity of the campus and not have any particular section be simply a "destination point" (MGVillage). That hotel/convention center is going to have a large footprint. *

Obama during the debate is like our Mean Green football team during a football game. No offense.

Found these at the RaceTrac right next to the Sam's Club at Rayzor Ranch. I go there almost daily and they have never carried UNT gear, just A&M, Texas, Baylor, and TCU. If you get a chance, swing by there while you're in town for the game Saturday and let's show them that Mean Green gear will sell! And this is football related because we need to buy these for the football game. This post has been promoted to an article

Hey GMG friends! Audra and I want to start working on clever signs again for this season. You guys rocked it last year, so I'm coming to you all to give us some good ideas to pretty up. We'd like to make some permanent player signs to have all season as well as game specific. Let the ideas begin!!!

Hey everybody, let me introduce myself as I am new to gomeangreen.com. My name is Chris, I'm going to be starting my sophomore year at UNT this fall. I am originally from Rhode Island, and a relocated family member allowed me the opportunity to open a new chapter in my life in our fine state of Texas. I am a Geography major, and, as you can guess from my presence on this site, an avid UNT sports fan. I may be new to Mean Green Nation, but that doesn't mean I'm not every bit as passionate a fan as the rest of you, young and old a like. I was there for the opening of Apogee, I was there in Hot Springs this year, and I'll make damn sure I am front row at the 50 in the student section for all the football games for the rest of my time as a student here, and I'll attending every home basketball game and traveling with my fellow students up to Hot Springs this year and El Paso (providing there is a student bus, which is iffy given the distance) the following year for our conference tournaments. I'm currently parading myself around Rhode Island this summer sporting my Mean Green gear proudly, as I see others wearing bandwagon clothing (UCONN, Boston College, even occasionally Texas...). Anyways, enough mindless ego stroking, I have a point to make. While I am very new to gomeangreen.com, I have spent the last couple weeks reading through this site's forums as a guest, and I've noticed an interesting trend. No matter what the original topic, a large amount of the threads result in stupid bickering; people here seem to hold grudges against each other and it results in unnecessary arguments. I may be new to being a part of this wonderful school and fan base, and may not know the history of our sports teams like a lot of you do, but there is one thing I absolutely know. This is a special, special time to be a part of this university, both athletically and academically. I want everyone I know to be a part of this great time. I am incredibly excited for the upcoming football and basketball seasons, I truly feel that both are going to be incredible this year. But, as a fan base, instead of bickering over pointless things, why can't we join together, and be one? Of course, people have differing opinions over things, and this is the internet, so having arguments or disputes over things are inevitable, but there is a difference between having a constructive disagreement with a fellow fan and having a stupid, petty argument that gets nobody anywhere. Just to clarify, it isn't just this website that I see this trend on. On facebook, there is a page called "Fill Apogee"; the point of the group is to try to get the word out to as many people as humanly possible to try to sell out the home opener. The link of the group will be listed below, for those who are interested in joining. But, even on that group, which is filled with mostly students, petty arguments broke out over whether Texas Southern was a weak team to have for our home opener (not necessarily referring to the team's talent level, but more of weak on our end that that is the best we can schedule), and whether or not FCS is considered D1 or not. This is not only stupid, and irrelevant, but it's also counterproductive. Even if that logic applied (which obviously it doesn't, as anyone who follows college football will understand), the point isn't who we are playing, it is that we are playing. We should go out and support our team 100%, no matter the opponent, and pointless bickering over stupid stuff isn't going to accomplish that goal. Anyways, what ended up happening was a couple players stepped in and commented, Mason Y'Barbo, and none other than Derek Thompson. And I will post what they said. Y'Barbo: All I ask is yalls support. This is going to be a monumental season for us and i want you all to experience it with us. No need for the back and forth name calling and arguing ( though it is amusing). Just please be behind us 100% as one. Thompson: Yall dont really understand how much we feed off of our fans when we step on the field at Apogee. We need this place rockin every time we hit the field! I promise we will put a team out there that will do special things this year. All we ask is that when a home game comes around, that teams never forget the atmosphere at Apogee. Its such a psychological advantage! Hope to see everyone out there this year. Go Mean Green! After these guys commented, the bickering stopped, which is not surprising. And they're right. This is a special team, and it's going to be a special year. If we all put ourselves 100% behind these guys, and believe in them even when times are tough, I really think we can make a bowl game this year. We're going to shock some people in conference play, much like WKU did last year. Same thing with the basketball team, it's really going to be a special year. Especially now with TJ Taylor apparently added, this is really a team that can be top 25, or higher. Who knows, maybe this can be our Butler year? Anything is possible. We have a star. We have a returning supporting cast. We have a new very talented addition. And most of all, they believe they can do it. Just look at the twitter feed from these guys, they believe that they can be the best. Chris Jones seems to think he'll be in the NBA Draft next year. While that is probably silly and not going to happen, these guys have confidence coming into this year. And they have us to back them. So, this is my plea. My plea to North Texas fans everywhere, but starting with you guys. We are one, we stand for the same thing, root for the same team. We are on the same team. Let's fill Apogee. Let's get to a bowl game. Hell, let's win the damn conference, in both sports. Let's make a run in the NCAA Tournament. Let's help Tony win National Player of the Year, and be drafted Top 5. Let's do this, together. We are North Texas, Go Mean Green.
