Kick-Off Cookout And 5K

[KRAM1]

OK, so who will be attending this season's Kick-Off Cookout and 5K event? It is shaping up to be a great way to "kick-off" the new season and the last at Fouts. The 5K will have a new course due to the new stadium construction and the event will be in the "shade" of the concourse at Fouts. Well, other than the run itself and the scrimmage that is... scrimmage is a great addition to the event this year. Also, you can pick up your season tickets and parking passes at the Athletic Center that day up until noon as well.

Come out and have a "look-see" at the team, talk to the coaches and players and share in some fun with the Mean Green Nation.

In addition, the Denton Chapter of the UNT Alumni Assoc. will unveil their "Fouts Field Farewell Tour" ceramic mugs, stadium poster and t-shirts far sale for this season's scholarship fundraising activity. Come by and take a look.

Will you be attending?

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!

It'll be the first time I've been able to make an athletic event in over two years.

Will they send your season tickets by mail if you do not pick them up at the cookout?

Running the 5K with my son, and the fun run with my daughter. Looking forward to it.

[NT03]

Going to attempt to run the 5K. If I start to get in the back of the pack I will fake an injury to save face. Hopefully someone will have a golf cart to come pick me up

[TheTastyGreek]

Tasty, collect my appearance fee.

I'll let them know that you'll be demanding the standard fruit basket, muffin basket, and liquor basket.

[BDPG]

I'll be there with the wife, but no running for me.

[Harry]

Should be a fun event!

[Glenn911]

I will be bringing the whole family out.

[BonfireBrian]

I'll be there. Running the 5K with the wife.

[MeanGreenSoHo]

I will be running in the 5K, and trying to convince a couple more friends to run it as well.

Has anyone seen a schedule of events for Saturday? I don't see anything on the athletics website. This whole thing seems a bit confusing. Is there or is there not a meal involved. I saw something that said runners will receive a voucher for breakfast. Does anyone else get breakfast? It sounds like it's all about the 5K and less about the Kickoff Cookout this time around. I'm sure someone will let me know where I'm wrong.

The whole event is needlessly confusing. I'll be showing up at 8:00 AM and then going where God takes me.

Correction - The Football Scrimmage will start at 8:30 am.
