i got nothing...

[meangreenacct]

Despite how sore I was the day after basketball...I am in!

Guess I should provide bio/stats:

Shirt size X-L

Height: 5-10

Weight: Enough

Playing Experience - star of the 8th grade B team 3rd string as a TE/LB

Speed: Nowadays I drink more likely to drink a 40 than run a 40, so I'll say on the slow side. What I lack in speed I make up for in enthusiasm!

[SHOSS]

My turn?

6'4", a very spry 275... 35 years old. Got clocked at a 4.7 40 about 19 years and 65 pounds ago.

My t shirt size is 2XL. I can catch and deep snap.

When will you be able to confirm if you can play or not? Or do you just want me to order you a shirt and place you on a team? I can wait awhile for you to know for sure or place you in the player's pool now. I would hate to have to have you fork over the $25 fee if you ended up not being able to play...I really don't have too much of a need for a medium sized MeanJewGreen t-shirt...just sayin..... :-) Come on, Adam...you know you want to play...yes you can! Yes you can!

Weight: Nunya bidness

Age: thirty something

I can't remember what number bowl game this is for me. I'm thinking the 5th but I've actually lost count. I can't catch But we already know that. I have decent speed and can cover pretty well.

[medpilot21]

It's been a while, but I'm in.

Height: 6'-ish...

Weight: 180..ish

Shirt: L

40 time: Varies on what's in my cup.. Rum = I'm faster, Beer = I'm slower, Tarantula = I think all of you are more attractive or funny.

Skillset: Great hands and decent arm. Once held the Presidential Award for Physical Fitness.. Wansnt mine, but I did hold it. Veteran of the "GMG Bowl Games" of the past. Darrell Dickey once came to a GMG game and watched me play QB. After the game he slapped me on the shoulder and said "Good game Med, sorry for yelling all those obscenities at you". I said "Coach, I didnt hear you yell anything ugly?" He replied "really?, well next year I'll yell from the Alumni Side of Fouts Field".

I will also donate a Andrew Smith Framed watercolor. Those who got them in the past, or saw them at the GMG Bowls know about them. I had several made, including the one I gave Andrew Smith's Parents years ago.

Should be a lot of fun... I'm looking forward to seeing everyone out there again.

GMG!!!

UPDATE: We have a T-shirt sponsor...none other than the Mean Green's very own unt88 has stepped up to say that the BILLIARD FACTORY will be one of out title sponsors! The Billiard Factory is located at 2061 S. Stemmons Frwy in Lewisville. And, in case you didn't know it, they carry all sorts of game room items...not just great pool tables and billiards equipment. We are talking pinball, shuffleboards, poker tables, pub tables, arcade games, dart boards...complete game rooms, folks. So, check them out whenever you are in need (or want) of such items. They support the Mean Green AND the GMG.Com flag football game scholarship effort.

Thank you very much. Your generous support is very much appreciated...and, yes, this is the same unt88 who has offered to provide some Rangers game tickets for the silent auction as well. Can't sat "thank you" enough!

You folks do know that unt88 played for the Mean Green under Coach Dickey, right?

We still need additional sponsors and silent auction materials. If you or the company you work for would like to help in any way, please let me know...we can work on just about any donation level and silent auction items can go a long way in helping raise enough to meet and exceed our stated goal of $1500. Just send me a private message (PM) here through GMG.Com if you have ideas or want to help in some way. All donations, big and small, are very much apprecaited and help a great deal...personal donations, business donations...all good!

Thanks again to unt88 and the Billiard Factory for stepping up to help student athletes at UNT!

[UNT 90 Grad]

Shoes are optional.....I would think molded cleats might work better than screw-ins, but maybe some of the players from years past can give you better info....Anyone care to answer about shoes????

Anyone have ideas on places to get cheap cleats (that will likely only be used annually for the gmg.com bowl)? I wonder of the AD has any of those cool under armour cleats with SOW on them left over. Do you think they kept a stock of those or bought them as needed? I'm guessing they won't be using them any more if they are moving to Nike. Those would be cool to have as long as we avoided getting the same foot injuries that the players received with them.

I really don't think cleats are necessary...some good turf shoes would be fine, in my opinion, and they would be versatile enough to wear for other purposes as well...not just once a year for the GMG.Com Bowl (by the way, thanks...you are my first sign-up for next years game... ) . But, if anyone really wants to wear cleats, I am assuming that is certainly A-OK. The UNT teams certainly have done so for years at Fouts...jut sayin.....

Bear feet would work as well, unless, of course you got stepped on by someone wearing cleats!

Really happy to have you with us for this year's GOMEANGREEN.COM BOWL. I think you will enjoy yourself a good bit!

[KRAM1]

DONATION LINK IS UP! Check it out. It says ANDREW SMITH MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. It is located on the right hand side of the "forums" home page just under the GMG.Com donations site. It's a great way (and an easy way) for those who cannot attend or play in the 8th Annual GMG.Com Bowl to still help make a difference. Simply click on the link and make a donation. We are trying to raise $1500 for the Andrew Smith Memorial Scholarship Fund. Hopefully, we can raise at least $500 of that through the donations site here on GMG.Com.

Check it out, and remember...any donation helps...big or small...are are very much appreciated and very much needed. If you don't like on-line sites for donations, you can always PM me and I'll give you info on how you can make a donation by check.

CAN WE DO IT????? Heck yes, we can do it...let's get it started! Many thanks to all who even consider helping. I know you get lots of "opportunities" to part with some of your very hard earned cash. Sometimes one just can't do everything they would like to do. I certainly get that...but if you can, even $5.00 would be greatly appreciated. And, of course, 100% of net proceeds go directly to the Andrew Smith memorial Scholarship Fund.

Thanks again...

GO MEAN GREEN! Go GMG.Com Bowl #8!

Sign up to play, make a donation, contribute something to the silent auction or just attend and have some fun on June 11th.
