  1. Recieved this e-mail at 9pm tonight. Mean Green Family, I want to thank you for your support at Apogee Stadium on Saturday. We are fortunate to have such a great fanbase and strive to deliver a high-quality gameday experience for you, our fans. After a thorough review of our gameday operations and your collective feedback, it is clear we fell short in several areas. We appreciate those of you who have reached out to share your experiences through various channels, including our online fan survey. We want you to know we hear and understand your frustrations. We have reviewed every comment and our staff is working diligently to address any operational challenges, both in and around the stadium so they can be corrected before this week. The following enhancements will be made to improve the fan experience: Additional parking attendants will be distributed across all working gameday lots. Electronic message boards will be placed at North Texas Blvd and I-35 as well as Bonnie Brae and I-35 to assist with wayfinding for fans to get to their appropriate lots. The Blue Lot will move to a pre-purchase/pass only lot for games featuring premium opponents with no passes sold the day of the game. Attendants will be added to restrooms in the HUB Club and Suite levels at Apogee to monitor paper towels, soap and cleaning needs. Wristbands will be provided to all HUB Club ticketholders upon arrival to the First State Bank Club and Suite Entrance to allow for increased freedom of movement for HUB Club guests between the club level and concourse throughout the game. Note: Wristbands DO NOT grant access to guests in the Suite Level. CSC staff will be added to assist with this function and ensure wait times are minimized for entry into Apogee Stadium. Grounds crews will mow all high-traffic areas no more than 48 hours prior to kick off (weather permitting) to maximize use of tailgating spaces. Additional parking passes will be required in the Blue Lot for both vehicles and tailgate setups. This will be strictly enforced to ensure we have an accurate count of available spaces in the lot. Updates will be made to the Northeast auxiliary video board to ensure an assortment of in-game statistics are available. Feedback has been provided to the team shop, and as inventory becomes available, they will increase both variety of products offered as well as higher quantities in all sizes. Your patience and loyalty are not something we ever want to take for granted. To that end, please to claim free tickets that we will upload to your account for a future Mean Green athletic contest in 2022-23. We are very grateful for each of you and your continued love and support of the Mean Green, our student-athletes, and our programs. We look forward to seeing you this Saturday as we take on Texas Southern. Go Mean Green! Wren Baker
  2. I think he lives in Austin now, he lived in CA for the last several years but moved back to TX in 2020.
  3. He is very real was always near coach Dickey. He is die hard North Texas and avid soccer fan.
  4. Yes, the line was not good in pass protection. They were top 10 in sacks allowed, top 15 in penalties, and in the bottom third in pass protection. In the games I watched Aune rarely had a clean pocket. The did get better as the season went along but we also started running the ball more than we passed.
  5. Can Gunnel: Complete 52.8% of his passes (Aune was 256 of 485 at North Texas in 2021), throw less than 9 interceptions, and complete more than 11.1 passes a game? (256 completions in 23 games)? The answer is yes, for his career 12 games, he averages 66.5% completions, 3 total interceptions, and completes 13.75 passes per game. Now the question is what will he look like with our line? He will probably be a lot like Aune.

  7. Honestly, I have purchased as much in one visit from this location that opened 2 weeks ago, than I have in the bookstore, stadium store, and Vortmans combined in the last 5 years.
  8. in Denton near BestBuy. Legit selection good quality. Still stocking up.
  9. Coach Fry coached 9 more games that Coach Littrell in 6 years. If Coach Littrell won all 6 games he would still be 5 games behind Coach Fry. However Coach Fry is only our 3rd best coach by win percentage (Coach Littrell is 6th). He is also 3rd in games coached (Coach Littrell is 7th). Name Term GC W L OT J. W. St. Clair 1915–1919 32 20 10 2 Jack Sisco 1929–1941 121 74 37 10 Hayden Fry 1973–1978 66 40 23 3 Theron Fouts 1920–1924 39 23 14 2 Odus Mitchell 1946–1966 216 122 85 9 Seth Littrell 2016-present 57 29 28 0
  10. "As Mean Green players take the field, they touch the statue to pledge their best efforts in the game." I noticed during the last home game that only 2 players touched Spiriki. In the first few years with Seth most made it past the statue. Maybe we are under the curse of the Spiriki since they have abandoned the tradition.... ...I am sure the illuminati is involved as well... I need to put on my foil hat hold on...
  11. Spiriki, a bronze eagle statue, was unveiled in 2011 at UNT's Apogee Stadium. As Mean Green players take the field, they touch the statue to pledge their best efforts in the game. The statue by renowned wildlife sculptor Kent Ullberg was commissioned by the Geezles, a campus fraternity from the 1920s to the 1970s that includes many former athletes and coaches. The name "Spiriki" comes from an old fraternity greeting believed to be the combination of the words "spirit" and "kee," the cry of an attacking eagle.
  12. Just read the master plan... A new arena is in the works, just not yet. Source: https://www.lightthetower.com/images/masterplanbook.pdf
  13. Navy recruits nationwide and their alumni base more than others is nationwide. When you look at the distribution of the west it checks a lot of boxes for them. Also travel expense is not as big of an issue as it is off of the government budget not the athletic budget.
  14. So if I read the contract correctly Seth gets 100% of salary for his contract if he is terminated. (By winning 7 games he triggered a 100% clause) If termed today it would be approximately $3 million. It drops about $113,000 a month through January 2024. So knowing the cost, what are some ideas to raise $3M to alleviate our pain? I wonder how much the Lovelace and McNutt families would pay to have their name removed from the IPF at this point.
  15. First 30,000 should bring your own!

  17. From the Wise County Messenger UNT assistant dies in wreck on U.S. 380 One of the University of North Texas’ top basketball assistants died in a single-vehicle accident on U.S. 380 east of Decatur early Friday morning. Nelson Haggerty, 47, of Denton was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash near the Imperial Group. UNT confirmed Haggerty’s death Friday. “Our hearts hurt for Nelson’s family, our men’s basketball family, the UNT community and everyone Nelson positively impacted during his life and career,” said UNT Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker in a press release. “Nelson had many special gifts and talents. He was full of positive energy and encouragement, and he will be missed dearly. Please keep the Haggerty family and our UNT basketball family in your thoughts and prayers.” Haggerty joined the UNT coaching staff in 2019, after spending eight seasons as the Midwestern State basketball coach. He played college basketball at Baylor, where he is the school’s all-time leader in assists. With Haggerty on the UNT basketball staff, the Mean Green celebrated its first NCAA Tournament victory over Purdue in March. Haggerty was driving a 2008 Nissan Armada eastbound on U.S. 380 around 2:30 a.m. Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Ricky Hunter said preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle left the right side of the roadway and struck a culvert. “The Nissan overturned and went through a fence before coming to rest,” Hunter said.
  18. It must be burnt black like his uniform stunt.
  19. 13 for 19 with over 6.6 yds per attempt 2 TD 0 Int and a passers rating north of 158. Give the kid the ball and let him try to win a game.... It can not get much worse.
  20. Daizion Carroll #78 Playing guard has been solid. In all the games I have watched he has good foot work and is normally able to progress to his secondary block. He is a sophomore(r) and is from what I understand not afraid or the weight room. He is at 307 this year and I bet he will be 325 by the time next year rolls around. He played in all 12 games last year as a freshman(r) and has earned a starting spot. I have seen him take a play or two off but for the most part is always in the mix. I am happy we have him for a few more years.
  21. ESPN is just horrible.
  22. I guess I need to up my rookie numbers. I have been on since 2004 and only have 309 post. So in 12 less years you have almost 700 more post.
  23. A vomitorium is a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre or a stadium, through which big crowds can exit rapidly at the end of a performance. They can also be pathways for actors to enter and leave stage.
