I've facebooked every last mother's son I know to go. I'll be there, and likely with the wife and kids in tow. Mavericks be damned! Collin and Denton County Mean Green need to show we can draw more than the miscreants in Dallas did! This is war, damn you!

i'm thinking about going, but it would be just my 4 year old daughter and myself. it sounds more like a sit down and listen event that my daughter might not be patient enough for. is this assumption correct? can anyone give me a heads-up on the situation?

appreciate it.

I've seen kids at the past two. At the Denton stop, Scrappy was keeping some of the kids entertained during the speaking portions of the night. You can always load her up with appetizers to munch on during the speeches as well.

ParksAndRecRick said he would buy her a couple of beers. That may help.

I've now confirmed my wife and two kids - 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl. We can hook them up with Scrappy and free snacks. Kids like snacks...and big walking bird puppets.

so how was it???

It was great. Jub Jub was doing rim shots on a drum kit to Coach Mac's jokes. Free photos. Free booze. It was great to hear Jordon Case speak to his passion for the university. The music from the DJ was a bit too loud for talking. I didn't realize how well the women's golf team was doing...and how many records they beat this year. Good to see and hear the new women's basketball coach.

I think I'll make the haul to Grand Prairie and/or Ft. Worth.

It was great! Let me say this, if you go now, before we start winning, you'll get a chance to talk to the coach one on one. When this thing takes off and more people attend, I have a feeling it will be more of a receiving line.

It was a joy to speak with Coach McCarney, Coach Jones, and new women's basketball coach Karen Aston. It was also good to finally meet Kevin Kokjohn, Troy's dad. He's been gracious enough to give many of us insight over the years.

My kids loved it, although the sugar from the free snacks set them off and we had to move them back into the showroom. We also won a pair of free tickets to the ULM game.

Overall, it was a good-good. There's no reason to miss it.

Freebies: Snacks, soft drinks, cool poster of Johnny Jones, Football poster, large magnetic football schedule for your fridge, pictures with Scrappy, pom poms, mini-mega phones, coaches, dancers...and Jub on drums. Get you and your family to this thing while it's still free, yo.

FREEBIE II: McCarney will give Barry Switzer a run for his money in HELL/DAMN department. Set your HELL/DAMN over-under at 20...and take the over. The Todd Dodge Era is clearly long gone. There will be cussing and coaching on the sidelines in Denton again, fellas.

This was a wonderful event. Jordan Case did an outstanding job hosting it. The food was great, the music was a nice touch, the bar was nice, and obviously the coaches did a fantastic job. All in all a wonderful night for the Mean Green, and hopefully got some new folks engaged with what's going on in Denton. As TFLF it won't be long, you had better jump on the bandwagon now.

Let me add that even though the new women's basketball coach isn't Kathy McConnell-Miller, she is intense. My guess is she'll have one of the biggest turnarounds in women's college basketball next season. She very business-like.

Also, Lifer, the dancers are there. I'm not sure how free they are; but, if you are young, or Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'd say give it a shot. Having a cute youngster with you helps attract them over to you as well. Borrow a daughter or niece or something. They were easy on the eye, that's for sure.

This seems like the old bait and switch. You listed them under freebies on your previous post and now you pull the rug right out from under me. Then again, these young ladies are old enough to be my daughters, so I hope everyone knew I was kidding.

Wish I could have been there. Sounds like a great event.

      Entire College Football Team Joins Players Association

      Encouraged by head coach Trent Dilfer, the entire University of Alabama at Birmingham football team has joined Athletes.org, one of several players associations attempting to organize players ahead of the anticipated future where they can collectively bargain for a slice of the sport's revenue. "I wanted to make sure I helped pour gasoline on something that is going to happen no matter what," said Dilfer, who was paid zero dollars and zero cents playing for the Fresno State Bulldogs from 1990-93. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40024327/uab-becomes-1st-d-football-team-join-players-association

      Atin Wright is officially signed with Mean Green

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament team selection transfer guard Atin Wright. Wright comes to North Texas from Drake where he was the MVC champion's second leading scorer averaging over 14 points per game during the season and was one of the league's top 3-point shooters as he made 65 long range shots at a 40.6 percent clip. The 6-foot-1 guard started all 32 games he played in last year and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 2024 MVC Tournament championship as he averaged 16.3 points per tournament game and poured in 17 points in the title win over Indiana State. For his tournament performance he was named to the league's all-tournament team. Wright will have one year of eligibility remaining. In Drake's NCAA Tournament game last year, Wright led all players as he scored 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting versus Washington State. It was his ninth 20-point game of the season. He scored a season-high 26 points on Feb. 13 in a 78-75 road win over Evansville. In that three-point win at Evansville, Wright sank a 40-foot-game-winner at the buzzer. One of those 20-point performances came on the road against American Athletic Conference foe UAB on Dec. 22. Wright scored 20 points versus the Blazers on 11 shot attempts to go along with a pair of steals. Wright last year played six games against opponents who reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In those six games he averaged 15.1 points per game, including three 20-point performances. Drake went 4-2 in those games. The Hawthorne, California, native began his collegiate career at Cal State Northridge. He played three seasons for the Matadors and was a two-time Big West All-Conference honoree before transferring to Drake in 2023. In his final year at CSUN (2022-23), Wright averaged 16.7 points per game. On Feb. 15, 2023, he set the Matadors single-game scoring record as he dropped 42 points at UC Davis. Wright will join North Texas with 116 career games played, 1,530 career points scored, 198 career 3-pointers made and 174 career assists. A southern California native, Wright graduated from Fairmont Prep in Orange County. He averaged 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game as a high school senior. He led Fairmont to a league title his senior year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2AA California Southern Sectional playoff round. His junior year, he led Orange County in scoring with 25 points per game and was named Southern Section Class 4AA Player of the Year. North Texas is coming off a 19-win season under first-year head coach Ross Hodge where they reached the second round of the NIT. He was the only rookie head coach last year to lead his respective team to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. The Mean Green won 10 league games in their first season in the American Athletic Conference. It was the most league wins by a first year UNT head coach. UNT is one of just seven schools in the country who has won a NCAA postseason game in each of the last four seasons.

      Any free agent signings?

      Houston only had one player drafted this year. Big deal.
