It was good to get to meet SUMG, Green Grenade, Green Joe, Corinth Eagle, and Adler.

I was glad that so many people at the show tonight. As a fan and alum, nothing makes me prouder than to see fans stand behind their team through the tough times. Dodge said that these kids will be rewarded for their hard work and I know that some good things are ahead of us.

See you on Saturday. Go Mean Green!!!

East Texas MG...where in East Texas do you live? We live in Greenville. I don't meet a lot of alums out here and further east. There are a few but not many. Most of course are from TX A&M Commerce (formerly East Texas State).

I am from Mount Pleasant, but my wife and I live in the metroplex.

The best part of the show for me was I won the mascot trivia question. Q: What is the mascot of Lubbock High? A: Westerners Interesting...I wonder why that was the question. Are we recruiting anyone from Lubbock High? Wonder if they will be at the game on Saturday??? I'm not trying to start rumors, I just thought it was interesting..... B)

That's no Sh#t!! I hate hearing people complain about how they don't like being fans of losers....who does? That's what fans are "fanatics" stick with the team through the good and the bad times. It's easy to be a fan of the Yankees of the late 90's, the Lakers of the early 2000s and the Cowboys of the early 90's. It's hard to live by every game of the late 80's Cowboys, the whole Rangers existence and the Mavericks up until 8 years ago. Some people don't understand the meaning of fans. GO MEAN GREEN!!!

For me my answer is always the same each monday morning when I get back to work and get sarcastically asked..."You drove to Baton Rouge/Norman/ Austin/Fayetteville to see that?????"

Your team is like your kids. You don't love 'em cause their good, you love 'em cause their yours!

well-said. living in houston, everyone thinks im crazy for going on the road so many times to see games. i couldnt care less. theres a certain indescribable elation i feel when i see our team take the field in the green and white. no matter the score, always enjoy. for the most part. I could do less 65-0s and 79-10s... but you get the point!

I'm glad the show is now at Sweetwater. Would I be out of line to take a Mean Green cap next week and offer it to the waiter that wears the Texas Longhorns cap ? At least he could wear it during the show ?

No. And I would make sure the manager sees the exchange.

I, too, thought the turbnout was "pretty good" for this week's show. I almost missed going, but had to get myself (and my wife) there to support Dodge and the team. It is easy to be a fan when you are 5-0...just ask all the "new" Dallas Cowboys "fans" you meet since they are now 5-0...it is another thing altogether when your team is 0-5. This IS THE TIME to get out and support this team and this program. The show was good and being with the Mean Green Nation is a plus in itself. Sweetwater is a decent location...the food is good and the beer is cold enough...we do need all the wait staff wearing Mean Green colors if they work the patio during the show...bring that hat on Greenjoe.

I have been to all but one of the Dodge Shows this year, and it seems we get the same group each week...with one or two "newbies" or returnees. Come on olks, make it a crowded patio at Sweetwater this next week. WIN OR LOSE.

As I have said many times this year...I want these things from UNT football this season:

1. A team that plays to the last whistle ... GOT IT!

2. An enjoyable game to watch for my season ticket dollar ... GOT IT!

I am two for two and a happy camper...sure I'd like to see some W's, but I don't expect too much in that arena this first season...it's a "whole new ballgame"...new offense, new defense, new coaches, new expectations, etc., etc. Hey, it's fun...come on out and support the Mean Green this Saturday and then join me Monday at Sweetwater...win or lose...I'll be there!

Have you got your Sink Navy shirt yet? They will be available at this Saturday's game in Tailgate area at the Exes tent. Buy several...proceeds go to UNT scholarships! :rolleyes:

      Softball Picks up Transfer Pitcher from Tulsa

      If anyone watched that game against Tulsa......you were jealous. Because you wished that she was on our team. Now she is. What a pick up. Of all the pitchers I saw us go against this year.....she might have been the toughest. That I saw anyway. Great news...

      New President Named ...

      I'm taking a (big) "wait and see approach" to this hire. I remember the L. Jackson and Helwig (AD) eras. Both had Austin ties and tried to make us UT "light" or flat out hold us back.

      New President Named ...

      Gretchen Bataille was disastrous, and V. Lane Rawlins came to the rescue (having previously been president of Washington State and Memphis) and got us back on track, but he said from the beginning he would not stick around very long. Smatresk had been President of UNLV for 4 years and had previously served as an administrator at UTA. I thought from the beginning Smatresk was a steal. Smatresk proved himself to be effective and is stepping down at just the right time. I think we need the expertise that Keller brings to the position and I am optimistic that he will prove to be a great hire.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      They were once at the top of the list. You could also apply this to educational facilities, as being not as important. Cost of tuition and NIL payments is more important and is proven by the lack of funds raised for our new AD building. NIL contribution will become even more important once it is tax deductible.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      Facilities do matter. All the glitz of a payday will eventually wear off, as NIL donations will fade and most players won't get a huge payday. There are thousands of football players out there that mostly want opportunity to play at the college level. The higher the level the better, and we are a pretty high level on the food chain even though it doesn't feel like it. The great equalizer is still a scholarship and playing time. Each FBS still has a limit of 85 scholarships and only 22 starters. You won't get many wanting to go to Houston as a walk on, and pay their on way, to sit on a bench 3 years to maybe get a scholarship and play as a senior.
