We'll be there. GMG!

Rumor is the return of green helmets to open the stadium. GMG!

I think this was a lesson learned. We only had previous experience to go on and everything we've attended in the past has had one continuous section for UNT. I thought it would be the same, but it was our fault for assuming. It just wasn't what we expected. I don't blame the ticket office. Gabe told me they get the tickets the venue gives them, and yes, you had to have 45+ priority points to get seats in the lower level. It might be a good idea for the ticket office to hold off on selling until the next day so they have time to find out where our seats will be located and post that information. That should have only take a phone call to the venue on Sunday evening. I would have liked to have known that we had section 110(?) in the lower lever and section 308 in the third level. I will admit though, I would have probably thought that we'd get tickets in the lower level, but if I didn't want to take a chance, I could buy elsewhere. Maybe the University administrators and employees should be bought tickets in another section by the school instead of taking them from the fan allotment. I agree that the first 10 rows should have been students, chosen by lottery or something similar, and then go with points from there. In full disclosure, I don't get the priority points of a $1000 MGC donor. They don't count the separate MGC membership and the season tickets I've bought the last few years for my daughter so she can have a parking pass. I have no problem with that. (Just recently learned I can outright buy an extra parking pass. Don't know how long that option has been available.) I do have 30+ priority points, though. We did enjoy the experience, but my main regret was that I didn't feel the connection with our team and our fans that I would have in a true Mean Green Nation section. It certainly lacked the intensity and excitement of the tournament in Hot Springs. Again, lesson learned for next time. GMG!

Green it is! See ya' at the game. GMG!

Mean Green Basketball shirt or black Let's Dance tshirt for the game? GMG! Leaning toward green.

They've still got some rooms at the team hotel (Marriott), but none for the Mean Green fan rate. Regular rate is $169. We won't make it in until late. Can't leave tomorrow until after work. GMG!

Got mine! Yeessssss! GMG!

I posted this in another topic, but thought it might get quicker response here. Question. I won't know until Tuesday if I can get the day off. Does anyone know exactly what this means: **All ticket orders are based on availability and the acceptance of your order does not ensure that your ticket request will be filled. Ticket orders will be allocated and seated based on Mean Green Priority Point Standing I guess what I need to know is the cutoff date before they start allocating tickets. Anybody have an idea? GMG! Well, I called the ticket office and went ahead and got my tickets. They allocate the tickets after their allotment is all gone. It's mostly for seating purposes, I think. If we end up not being able to go, I'm sure someone will want them.

NEVER MIND! I got my tickets!

Walked in from work just in time to see OKC! Hopefully we will be able to go. GMG!

It's a moot point for us. Tomorrow is the one Sunday a month I have to work. I'll have to rush home just to see it on TV. Wish we could be there. GMG!

I put a few pictures in the forum gallery if you're interested. I've got more, but I wasn't sure of the best place to post them. They're in the Go Mean Green Fan Images. GMG!

We had a great time at the tournament. Luckily it coincided with husband's take it or lose it vacation time. Talked to several people from our conference mates and all were nice folks, except for the ULM band kid who tried to trash talk an old lady as we walked into our hotel after the game! (He lost, I won.) Enjoyed the horse races and also saw a lot of basketball fans there. We would definitely make the trip again. GO MEAN GREEN!!!!

We're on the way home now. I'll try to get some pics up. I have video on my iPhone too, if I can figure out how to put it up. Great trip great games! Go Mean Green!!!

It's virtually the same story on the Athletic website: Green Gang: North Texas Nabbed The No. 2 Seed, So What Now? GMG!
