Team Welcome Back

Venson · November 4, 2017

A lot of times this team goes out of town and the only people to greet them when coming back are parents. How about us Mean Green fans go greet the team when they arrive back to Denton tonight. Just wondering who would be up for it. It would mean a lot to the team and I am sure it would encourage them to play harder. I will tell you why I believe this. I spent my last few years in the Army at Fort Hood, TX and there was this old lady there at the Robert Gray Army Airfield that would hug every Soldier prior to them boarding a flight to go to Afghanistan or Iraq. She would be there to hug each one as they returned. Families and friends greeted them as well. That meant so much to us. Unfortunately the "hug lady" as she was affectionately died last year and was buried with full military honors. Her impact on thousands of Soldiers will never be forgotten. We could have that same impact on our players and the UNT program if we are there when they arrive. What are your thoughts?

What time are they coming back?

Not sure. I sent a twitter message to WB to see if he would respond with a time.

I got to meet her and while it was something so small it meant alot with our families not there to see is off at the Airfield..

Also, I believe they took buses to LT... So depending on the buses, I would get around 2/3 AM?
