Kick Off BBQ or Breakfast

Will there be opening weekend events for the new stadium? I know we are having a movie night but that weekend which will draw in alumni from all over the country could and be maximized. During that time the University could make a monster push for the Alumni Association and Mean Green Club since good feelings a lot of pride will be swirling around Denton, Texas. Also there should be a community outreach where the city gets involved and excited about this incredible gem in their backyard. I know I have been in Las Vegas too long but when we open a casino or blow up a casino out here we have major celebrations. Heck we have celebrations when Gatorade puts out a new flavor, but I digress.

Seriously, cocktail parties for the alumni, keg parties for the legal students, ice cream parties at the Union, fireworks on Friday night at midnight - 9.10.11. It could be a really special fun-fulfilled weekend and the cappper would be a win over the U of Houston, but either way it should be MEMORABLE!

Lastly, also I hope a lot of gear and memorable with our beaching new stadium logo is available. Play off our cool design and create some swag gear. How about a shirt with the Logo and it reads "Yeah OURS has wings! Some in your face this is a freaking cool looking mean and fierce stadium to play in.

"Fierce Football Played Here"

any number of cool in your face slogans with that awesome stadium design - the Wings need to be maximized! It is a differentiator and I can't wait til others around the country start chatting about that cool looking stadium at North Texas.

Awesome for UTA to the WAC. I am glad we are right where we are - soaring to the MWC, CUSA or Big 12 in the coming years.

Man, it's just too bad that those folks in the Athletic Dept. are just sitting around not doing anything and not scheduling any events and activities for the Mean green Club members and all the Mean Green fans ( tongue in cheek firmly planted and dripping with sarcasm noted for the few who can't tell). This is great stuff as it signals the "official" start of the new season for this Mean green fan. can't get going soon enough. Really appreciate all the AD folks are doing to provide opportunities for Mean green fans to get together, have some fun and gear up for the new stadium opening and the new season. Great job folks.

GO MEAN GREEN...and...Why Not North Texas!

Will we recognize you by your sweet haircut? Or maybe the PowerPad dangling around your wrist, the NES Zapper tucked into your holster and an NES Advantage in clasped in your hands?

It's possible. Maybe everyone can come dressed as their avatar and we'll see who looks most like P Cobbs.
