excellent pictures

good job guys

I'm so glad to be a fan and an alum of UNT.

There's not a group in the metroplex that can feel the pride that I feel.

Amen to everything that has already been said. I had a lot of fun today, and it was mainly because I was able to hang with people that share the same passion as I..............Mean Green Sports.

Thanks for the pics. Those of the two game balls were worthy of saving. I just emailed the pic of the Texas Tech one to a friend who's a Tech Tech grad and backer.

Great job on the photos Queen! We appreciate all of your help!

BTW you did a great job of capturing my best side (photo #8). That was a good shot of "Baby Arm" as well.

That was for an RHA (Residence Hall Association) conference. You'd have to talk to Maureen Clouse, Ed.D. to see if there are any left.

What is Mario holding up there in that image, a PEACE and TRANQUILITY sign?

Message board - working with the University. We bought the smoker a few years back and Rick pretty much handles the upkeep of it. We added a second one last year but it was in really bad shape. Sound Man is working on rehabbing that one now to give us some more cook space. Our group started out as the Mean Green Club, founded by Mean Rob Black in the late 90's and then the University asked for the name back (Coach Hayden Fry had used that name for the fan booster club in the late 70's but it had changed into the Foundation over time). The Mean Green Club (our version) is what brought a lot of us together back when Harry ran the old Paradise board and we realized that we weren't the only North Texas fans out there. We grew it and now have quite a bit of firepower. We have smoked more brisket over the last 5 years then a lot of restaurants, lol... We chanegd our name to the Greenbackers when the school took over the Mean Green Club name and have used GMG.com to move that unofficial group forward. We are definitely the largest tailgating crew at North Texas, and we have annual flag football games along with a permanent spot in the Mean Green Tailgating village as a result of it. Other groups have to pay to reserve their spots in that village but the department gives is some aid by not charging for the space along with helping us out with some tables and chairs for our events.

How do ya'll collect the money for this? And how many board folk (estimate) usually participate (both financially and labor-wise?

We would love to do something similar at MT. I know the Cajuns do this annually too.

Well for each event we just pass the hat... Here is the thread that raised the money and donations for this event. We pretty much just throw a thread out like this before each event...
