Nice to see the Mean Green Radio Network (M.G.R.N.) adding the great city of Houston to its growing Texas-wide radio network. Wonder which Texas city will be next? smile.gif

** Internet radio for Mean Green football will go thru KWRD and you can access that at: www.thewordfm.com

** For TV broadcast of NT/MT game in DFW>>KFWD Channel 52

** In Denton>>Channel 6

** The Dish subscribers out of the DFW area can call customer service and you would have to out a subcription with ESPN Game Plan to get the NT/MT football game. I have no idea what the cost of that is.

Shameless bump for those in the Houston area who are just now finding out they now have radio coverage for all Mean Green football and basketball games this academic year.

As I understand it, we can all thank the same person President George Herbert Walker Bush thanked last Saturday on CNN, ie, Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale, a former Mean Green football player under Coach Hayden Fry. (Presidents Bush and Clinton were thanking him and others on stage with them for their help with all the displaced Americans).

Harry, maybe pinning this for a week or 2 might keep this info in front of those who need to see it?

GMG!

Is that the same as "being redundant all over again?" (Yogi B.)

PS: As one formerly from the greater Houston area, I just cannot contain my excitement on the MGRN adding KAFR 88.3FM to their growing group of Texas radio stations. I am very happy for our Houston alums and fans. (Also, just plain proud of Houston for other things, too). cool.gif

As we used to say down there around Houston Fat Stock Show time each winter: GO TEXAN! (Do they still use that phrase, Houston alums)?

Congratulations for what radio coverage? I tried to get 88.3 MeanGreen coverage in Conroe with absolutely no success. IT WAS NOT ON! I did watch the great victory at SRO in Houston, but I wish that the advertised radio debut would have been reality. Was the network expansion just a rumor or will it actually happen someday?

When you say "it was not on", do you mean you couldn't get the station, or that they didn't have the game on? I don't get the station down in Sugar Land, but when I was leaving SRO last night (about an hour after the game ended), I tuned my car radio to 88.3, and the station came in clearly.

It appears that the station is based in Conroe (check out http://www.tvradioworld.com/region1/tx/webcasters.asp?m=hou, but the transmitter may be elsewhere.

Strangely enough, I didn't hear the MGRN guys even mention the Houston radio station which means there must have been a funding glitch (which would be my guess); but this radio station addition to the MGRN was posted on MeanGreenSports.com, the NT Athletic Dept's official website. Lets wait and see if this KAFR 88.3 FM story has a happy ending, though.

At least you guys down in Houston were able to watch the game on TV, which I'd guess would have been the choice for our most ardent NT fans down in Space City, USA, anyway.

Hey guys!

This was the only game of the year where 88.3 could not join the MGRN because of a scheduling conflict.  Please don't be alarmed, I'm sorry the game wasn't on yesterday, but the rest on the Mean Green's football and basketball games will be on 88.3.

Good to hear the MGRN's Houston radio affiliate is thumbs up and a green light all the way.

TURN HOUSTON MEAN GREEN!

      NIL and the Portal are killing gmg

      Or is there another explanation. I’ve never seen this place so dead. I realize it’s the off season, but it seems much slower than usual.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      College football has always been a food chain. The problem now is the instant movement allowed every year for players with no sit-out for transfers. Maybe if the Texas Tech's, and other mid-P4's of FBS, start feeling the pain of having star players stolen then more restrictions will happen.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Wow a sobering statement indeed. This has to be having an energy effect on most programs. Will college football actually become less popular? I mean the power programs say no way, never. I am not so sure about this. It won’t go as niche as golf. But investment works 2 ways. GMG

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      From where Jimbo Fisher sits now, after years of coaching high-level college football programs, he sees a clear divide between the well-resourced programs in the SEC, Big Ten and a few other conferences and the rest of the world of college football. He went so far as to allude to certain FBS schools functionally becoming developmental stops. “Here’s what’s happening, all of your mid-majors and a lot of your not-mid-majors, I’m going to say some of your ACC, Big 12, old Pac-12, some of those leagues, they’re becoming glorified junior colleges,” Fisher said. “And some of those teams used to battle for playoffs and have great teams. They took that three-star guy or that four-star guy you missed and they developed him into a heck of a player and he became a great player at their school. Fisher used arguably the best football player currently alive to make his argument: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was drafted out of Texas Tech with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. “How about Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech? Would he have ever stayed at Texas Tech? Somebody would have came and got him,” Fisher said. “You know what I’m saying? And what’s happening, your haves are out there saying, ‘OK, I need a corner and I need a tackle and I need a running back.’ And they’re going to these four-year schools and just selecting, and those guys are really becoming glorified junior colleges, and it’s a shame. I mean great college football programs that have won big in the past and have had tremendously great players. But that what’s changed.” Link: https://www.on3.com/news/jimbo-fisher-claims-some-conferences-are-becoming-glorified-junior-colleges/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2rlzMeo_cEPD6TpbFAWoEUVqgpt_yqatMT52gyT6HICo_nyEvr2nFGOKc_aem_AfsuZvKQBBs_SzhuB_qg2qO7ZdN1vheq_Ks56BhKzhGA_HOPkEAyCuXzJk-zHgdQwWoqZ88nbNvoDCh4vmow0o4n
