In Denton right now putting up football schedule posters all over Denton

Just got to where I could take a few minutes to share some tidbits from the outing. First, as I said, most people were quite receptive...because they were approached. Holding a stack of schedule

It took literally 2 hours to put a poster up in 30+ businesses. Only two establishments told us "no"....most gave a resounding yes. Talked to three differen people who seemed swayed to come to games this season because we talked to them face to face.

Not on payroll at NT, yet the first people to walk through the door to ask if we could hang a schedule up.

Good work. Curious, who said no?

Emmitt...GREATNESS! Volunteering because you love to help out something you believe in is indeed...God's work! You have my appreciation and respect for doing this...thanks so much. Great idea.

It would be a tad interesting to know who said "no"...and perhaps why? Not to boycott them, but to hopefully find out why and see if we can't change their minds...or maybe it was a business that felt such "decor" would be inappropriate.....who knows.

But, I am sure you got a lot more saying "yes" than no! Great stuff Emmitt.....THANK YOU! :thumbsu::goodjob:

I see you came out from under that bridge for some sunlight.

As twho said no, it was a loan place who said their "corporate policy wouldn't allow it" and a veterinarian who just seemed like a grumpy lady. 90% of the people though were very accomodating.

You don't know the difference between begging for praise and giving everyone a heads up that the posters are available? Well, what can one expect from someone that refuses to acknowledge the rightful name of our school's mascot.

Emmitt is not the only person that stops by local businesses to give them an opportunity to show their support for the Mean Green. I have a standing reservation for a Mean Green poster at one of the local (and best) Saginaw donut shops......and it happens to be owned by a TCU grad. This time of year the owner's wife always starts bugging me for a new Mean Green poster.

Thanks Emmitt for the heads up!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Nice walk off win in the 9th....4-3....on a homer by Molly Rainey. All three homers today by seniors....Molly, Kailey Gamble (tied it at 3 in the 7th)...and Kalei Christensen....with a solo blast for our first run. Skylar gets the win....in relief of Mackenzie Wagoner. Great win.....game two coming up soon.

      A few HSO's

      This is the point I think has never been critically consider because of the greed of EVERYONE ELSE besides the players. The old system was never sustainable because the schools had very little invested in the players actually get the best education available at their schools. If guaranteed 4 year scholarships (with an option after 2 years) were the standard or breakable by the student I don't think we have the madness of today. The other major part is the lack of standardization and revenue sharing for all school playing at a particular level. How do you expect the players or coaches to have any loyalty when the schools have no loyalty to protect the health overall college sports. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Somebody explain how the runner that was hit with the batted ball was called safe? These umpires are horrible.

      Good. Offer them a NIL deal and let them pay for their education. They shouldn't receive both.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Wichita St with a wind aided HR in the top of the 5th to make it 2-1. Waggoner is pitching a heck of a game, but we need a few runs to pad the lead.
