Because of the weather the game is free tomorrow.

So how do we get the word out about the "free lunch" to the denizens of Denton? It would be nice for the locals to get a taste of something that they might decide that they enjoy. For a city this size, we ought to be getting 1-2K of non-UNT affiliated fans every single game that we're putting a quality product on the floor. It's no longer a little podunk town (pardon me) like it was a quarter century+ ago. It's now an emerging big city outer ring suburb, and it's about time that it started to act like one. FILL THE SUPER PIT!

It isn't free if you bought season tickets.

So, do we all get a one game refund? Ha! I am just glad to see the game is still "on" for tonight. I wonder about the crowd size with the snow event predicted to hit later this evening/night? This winter stuff sucks. If I wanted to live in this sort of weather I'd move north! Come on sun!

See you at the game tonight (I hope) and GO MEAN GREEN!

You need to do a little more research.

A red number for this post? See what I mean, Harry? No rhyme or reason or anything close to how I think you originally intended it to be used in the first place.

I like the idea I heard expressed recently of those who post red to have their ID or monikors shown so all on GMG.com can see those who would hide behind such otherwise. Then they can explain to all on the board the reason they posted red if they posted red any longer.:rolleyes:

While we still have the freedom of the internet,:ph34r: I'm sure I will still express my views whether anyone who would hide behind a red number likes them or not.

Actually it is, sort of. If you bring your season ticket they'll give you a ticket to another event free.

Will it be equal to the value of the ticket that you paid for? Will you get to pick the event? Can it be used, same as cash, at the time of the ticket-holder's discretion with no expiration? Can be used to pay, in part (where applicable), for another event? If used for an event of lesser cost, can the balance be applied to another event? If they cannot make the game, will they still be able to get the value of the ticket? The answer to these is probably maybe or doubtful.

Seems to me that this is not truly free for those that have already paid.

I would guess that most of us season ticket holders who live outside of Denton don't get to attend all the games anyhow...especially those at 7:00 on weeknights. We buy our season tickets more as a donation to the cause rather than worrying about getting something for each dollar we spend. I am more hopeful that there is a crowd to support the Mean Green tonight from people who can make the drive (walk) than I am about getting something back for my 2 tickets tonight. Even the students pay a set fee for the year whether or not they get to go to all the games.

Let's look at the big picture! I'll be listening on the radio tonight and hope that I hear some fan noise in the background!

We just got an email from the Athletic Department that says

Attention Season Ticket Holders:

Due to the inclement weather last week affecting Thursday's basketball game against FAU, the North Texas Athletic Ticket Office would like to offer all basketball season ticket holders the opportunity to request complimentary tickets in addition to your season tickets to one of our 3 remaining home games

of the 2010-11 season.

After reminding us of the dates they said

Please contact the ticket office at 1-800-868-2366 if you would like to request tickets*.

*Season ticket holders can request one ticket per season ticket. The ticket office will seat any additional tickets near season tickets to the

best of their abilitiy.

This could be a great way to introduce new fans to Mean Green Basketball.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
