We lost a good friend of the Mean Green and of gomeangreen.com this weekend.  I just learned that @ntsumgspe (Cary Lumkes) passed away.  Cary tailgated with us for the past few years and sat in my area at the football games for the past couple.   He touched many of your lives.  He was a regular fixture at the watching parties I hosted and would host in my place when I was unable to do it myself.  You could always count on Cary doing his best Tim Couch impersonation shouting “ And that’s good for another Mean Green... FIRST DOWN!”  You’ll be sorely missed my friend.

I have just now learned Cary has passed away. I am in shock! What happened ?

Cary and I became good friends two years ago. I met Cary at one of the game watching parties with many Mean Green Fans!  Cary was a great guy and had an infectious personality!

I will miss you always Cary! I know you will be with all the Mean Green fans at the games and watching parties!

God Bless You Cary!

I’m not sure what happened.   I’ve seen speculation on social media of a heart attack.   He was only 54 years old.  So sad.

One other note, he was on the steering committee for the Dallas Chapter of the UNT Alumni Association.

Wow! What a sad note to start the week. The Mean Green lost a good one. Gone way too young.

Got to know Cary many years ago. Bonded over Mean Green football, tailgating, sports in general, the UNT Alumni Association, 80’s music - especially our mutual love of rock/metal, and time spent living in the Chicago area growing up. Always made me jealous with his frequent trips back posting pictures of his deep dish pizza and Italian beef’s at all the joints I grew up with.

I’ll always remember the fun times roaming Bourbon Street with him when UNT played Tulane the last time - 2013. Good times.

Will miss seeing him at tailgating and watch parties. Great sense of humor and always brought a smile with him.

Next Mean Green tailgate - whenever we get to do that again - is in your honor Cary!  Rest easy my friend.

I first met Cary at a watch party at Fuzzy's in 2017.  It was the first one I ever went to since moving back to Dallas.  I didn't know what to expect and didn't know anyone who was going to be there.  Cary walked right up and introduced himself, told me to put my name in the hat for prizes, told me what was going to happen and made me feel right at home.  He checked on me a few times throughout the game and kept everyone entertained.  He made sure I was having a good time, and that kept me coming back game after game.  Over the past few years, I got to know him better and was glad I did  It was always fun running into him at UNT events and hearing his laugh.  I wish I had known him for a longer period of time.  RIP, Cary...you'll be missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Cary’s passing. Gone way too soon. I have a few pictures of our son and Cary after the UTEP game this year. Can you  please direct me on how to get those to his sister?

 

Such a great guy. May he Rest In Peace.

As a follow up for anyone that has photos of Cary. 

I spoke to Cary’s sister Tracy Lumpkes regarding photos that I have of Cary and I, at the family viewing on Saturday morning.

Tracy would like to have copies of any photos of Cary that you have.

Tracy would like for you to email the photos to her email address:

taeaves@hotmail.com

Please email the photos to Tracy.

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.

      Agree, there was some semblance of programs doing the right thing and following the rules even though they were always getting busted for violations, and everyone knew cheating was going on. It's why I was saying the veil is off now, and making everyone play by those rules has supercharged the whole thing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the schools aren't supposed to work with NIL collectives to get players right? But everyone including UNT is 100% working with these collectives to send out deals to players. Same kind of fake rule following like we used to have, just more of it now.

      I’m not the type who’s going to say, “I’m done with college sports” and that be it. I’m moreso the guy whose interest is just going to wane to the point that I don’t watch anymore. It would actually free up a lot of time that I could be more productive🤣🤣
