The Greenbackers Tailgate Party will start at 2:30 on Saturday preceding the football game against the University of Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

We will be serving hamburgers and cheeseburgers for this week's game. Sound Man has had a very large charcoal pit made so we can cook several hundred burgers in a very short time period. Iced down bottled water and soft drinks will also be available in 'the pool'.

The award winning group Brave Combo will be providing the musical entertainment for the tailgate area.

The weather is forecasted to be perfect, unseasonably warm for November; 80's during tailgating, and 70's during the game.

As always, our Greenbacker's Tailgate Parties are open to all fans, with a special invitation extended to our message board community and to the families of our football players.

The Mean Green March will be at 4:00.

Tailgating ends 30 minutes before kickoff. This gives you plenty of time to get your chairs an ice chests back to your car before kickoff.

Please bring your own folding chairs, enough beer to share, and ice chests for your beer. (we get in trouble if there's beer available in the pool)

If you are interested in contributing to the party effort, please bring Ruffles Potato Chips, canned Coca-Cola products and/or ice to contribute to 'the pool'.

Looking forward to seeing all of you on Saturday.

Go Mean Green!

At the last tailgating event, the greenbackers ran out of ice. So, please bring at least one or two bags with you when you come to participate.

I noticed the same thing. With everyone coming at different times, if each person that reads this brought 2 bags of ice I think we could keep a pretty good basal amount of ice.

I upped the order on ice from the 15 20lb bags to 25 so that should help some.

We will also be in a smaller "pool" due to the fact that someoen believed they needed it more than we did

We should be in a lot better position on ice. Our last game we were battling 104 degree temperatures and had to be set up by 9:00 AM. The ice was long gone by gametime. This time we'll have more ice, and shorter exposure to milder weather.

As far as dealing with the theft during the game issues. Maybe the athletic department can figure a way to switch the light switch to 'ON' to light the tailgate fields. They were working on it for the last two games, and with an extra month and a half to prepare, I have faith they'll find a way to flip that switch.

Yeah, and somebody thought they needed our beer more than we did at my tailgate spot. Came out after the game and the coolers had been raided. mad.gif Get a rope!

It's a very simple solution.

Turn on the lights that need to be left on, and keep somewhat of a police presence around everyone's equiptment.

I would love for everyone to be able to leave their chairs in the tailgate area during the game and then get to reconvene for a few beers after the game.

      Thank You Softball Team Seniors

      Yes 👍🏻 they have been really consistent over the past few years and the future looks very bright based on some of their players being younger.

      I say we stay put and fight

      I’m out at the Big 12 Baseball Tournament this week and we are all in the same boat. Kansas State, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech are all going to run into the same issues we are. They have good but not huge fanbases. Their top talent will be poached by the two leagues. They will have connectivity issues between players and fans like we will. They will have trouble getting their fans to dump money into the black hole that is players salaries. We actually have a heck of a recruiting edge over many places and we need to use that leverage immediately: 1. Smoking business climate. 2. Top sports market in the country. 3. Countless cultural experiences. 4. Robust shopping nightlife scene. 5. Mild winters. 6. No state income tax. When this movement takes on a full throttle professional business model, UNT will be poised to compete and lure talent equal to those not in the SEC and Big. We will need to professional horses in the Athletic Department. But I like our potential. Live work and showcase in DTX, Stillwater, Albuquerque, Boston, Corvallis, Ames or Boca Raton. You can see how this could possibly play out. Yes, go in sell and fight. GMG

      What has the NCAA done for UNT and where does it fit in the future. No way in hell should they be negotiating a financial commitment for UNT. You look at the NIL lawsuit and a lot of the claims could also be the same claims for G4’s. Combine and take legal action.
