I emailed Rick and Mandy last night and asked two questions about the Mean Green Club:

1. What did he think of holding quarterly meetings?

2. What did he think about some kind of member advisory board.

His response follows:

We will soon have a quarterly update. We are very close to having a lot of information to share [my emphasis] and that is important when you have one of these meetings. I think it would also be great to have a Mean Green Club board but I will check with Mandy and Jon Burkett, our new Mean Green Club Director [my emphasis] to get our thoughts. Hope to see you soon.

Go MEAN GREEN!

Rick

Lot of talk but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one

Nice work Flyer

This line in Mandy's bio scares me though

While she remains as the Executive Director of Mean Green Club, McKinley will take on additional duties in the coming year as it relates to all capital campaign projects within the athletic department

Just bored and searching a bit and found this,

Did you ever get a "quarterly update " ??

Just wandering and not trying to sound negative because I never did or heard anything

I always thought that MGC (based on the definition of clubs) was a misnomer. Most clubs meet or gather on a regular basis. Here's a free health tip for you Flyer. Don't hold your breath while you are waiting to hear something.

I just think it's nice that Rick has someone in Flyer who will always play the role of mouth-piece when his busy schedule doesn't allow him to post cryptic "good things are coming" messages personally.

I have lots of roles, Emmitt.

Alum. Grad student. MGC member. SGA Senator. Student Affairs Chairman. Pit Crew leader.

But don't mistake my sharing an email for being the mouthpiece of the athletics department. I share the information that I receive in the normal course of my other roles on campus. I am critical of the many mistakes made by our AD, but I am confident that this university is moving in the right direction. I know it's a process that is moving slower than most of us hoped for, but it is better than moving backwards.

That's it Emmitt01...JUMP ON FLYER. All he has done is provide great info and hard work on behalf of everyone on GMG.Com and, in fact, the entire student body at UNT. Nice job Emmitt01. You might want to send Flyer a little private message and "explain" that "mouthpiece" comment a bit. Lame, very lame. :angry:

That's not really necessary. Emmitt is entitled to his opinion.

Agreed 100%, but sometimes the "better thing to do" is to think and keep certain opinions to oneself. Emmitt01 is a good guy, I have met him and he is a great member of the Mean Green Nation, but do not think such "opinions" need be expressed here.

I'm glad you think I'm a good guy, just sorry you didn't realize that the brunt of my criticism in my last post was directed at our athletic department and not flyer. Like he says, he only reports the news he is given...even when the news he is given isn't really news but a new spin on the "hold on and we'll have real news soon" theme.

      Need to finish them off tonight in Dallas. Don't give them any hope and a chance to go back to Minnesota. A week break will also be good for Luka's health.

      Jared Mosely upset and rightfully so

      Totally agree on this. The only issue I see if that if they separate the have from the have nots you will see a lot of lower level P5 programs start losing a lot more games as they cannot rely on lower level wins against G5 schools. These new big P5 conferences are so big they don't have much room for non conference games as I see it. Some actually have mandated you have to play 9 plus conference games every year.

      In the new NIL era how should UNT athletics be focused?

      A small part of this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The decision-makers at the various networks lockup conferences with contracts and put the match-ups they deem to be the most desirable in the best time-slots to maximize eye-balls and low-and-behold, those get the highest ratings. Of course that confirms in their mind that they have this thing figured out and the cycle repeats. The 37K viewership for UNT/Temple was on ESPNU, but let's face it, none of the games on the U pulled in big numbers with most under 50K. We had 88K for the UNT/Cal game. The most viewed game of the season on ESPNU was the Memphis/Missouri game at 181K. Put the UNT/SMU game on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox at a desirable time-slot and I suspect we'd double or triple the 618K we got on a Friday at 9:00p on ESPN2. Same teams, same game, but different numbers IMHO simply due to network and timeslot.

      I’m just waiting to watch some ball, I hope it is against like institutions. Saturday afternoons hearing the roar of the Green. I’ll catch some SEC Big games but on my schedule and convenience. I’m not seeking it out over a weekend with the Mean Green Tribe in Denton Texas on a warm, cool, windy, rainy, Saturday afternoon. I may be unique but I followed this team to Monroe. Troy, southern miss, El Paso, Colorado Springs, Tempe, boca, Murpheesboro, bowling green and las cruces. Some of the best trips of my fandom. It’s going to be green forever no matter the landscape.
