Well, one would hope that the post would have been accepted in the same spirit it was posted But after reading that novel of a reply I can see that ship has sailed. BTW Plumm, finding your posts and thread hijacking annoying doesn't mean we enjoy SBC/Bottom 10 NCAA D1-A existance. Im sure you are familar with the phrase Preaching to the Choir? All it means is we've seen it and read it ALL before and your schtick and thread hijacks have grown tiresome to some on the board. and before you go there, I know you say that you are targeting the first timers and lurkers but I got some news for you. The rantings on internet message boards are viewed to be as credible as the Weekly World News.... Check that... the tabloids have more credibility. This board is not the bully pulpit you think it is. Look, I don't want to turn this into a flame or a war. It was just a little jab at GMG.com's most prolific poster. Well maybe not prolific, but surely the most long-winded

"It's illegal to annoy... A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language. ' Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.'

I agree. Whats the point of these promotions if nobody ever hears about them. Dollar dog night could be great, especially if they could do it on a weekend and promote it to the Denton community A "promotion" with any advertising isn't a promotion at all....

First I heard of this incident was on Friday's Ticket morning show, They brought it up in relation to a jerk fan at the Tech/OU game in the background of a FSN broadcast and how some fans think the cost of a ticket gives them license to act like an ass. For the record, 1)George didn't bring it up. He only talked about it when proded by the other host. 2)I dotn't recall him saying anything about you cussing, he just said you were being an obnoxious fan, So I don't see how he's trying to label you as a foul mouthed fan. 3) How is he can he label YOU, when he never uses your name? Your name was never used. It's pretty hard to use a radio show and celebrity status to label someone when they don't even use your name. How would anyone know it's you? 4)Seems like you just don't want this to die. Dunham said he was contacted by a reporter from the North Texas Daily for his comments after they decided to run a story when contacted by someone that claimed they were verbally assaulted by Dunham. Who called the NT Daily? hmmmmmmm. Must have been YOU, Seems like you are using any and all methods to keep this going. YOU called the NT Daily, YOU called RV, YOU posted this thread. All we've heard from Dunham was 5 minutes on his show... Seems like it's you that doing everything he can to lable someone. All in all form this outsider it appears you are just being a big crybaby because someone gave you some of what you were dishing out. GROW UP

True to form. GG LOVES the team before the game, convinced the Mean Green could beat USC, Texas, and Alabama combined....only to issue bitter "I'm done" rants after each loss. Is it just me or is Green Grenade's Bi-polar, love/hate, emotional roller coaster act getting old?

For those who don't mind the bleachers covered in bird crap, keep throwing the tortillas. Im sure the grackle population of Denton appreciates it.

So?... Im a believer that if you are gonna talk smack, you have to accept the crow that goes with aftermath. I think we all know GG can be a bit dellusional at times with his football pronostications.... , So I'll chalk it up to that and leave him alone.

Grenade????

Time for Green Grenade to eat some crow. Seems like he was on here all summer long pronositicating how mighty THE Ohio State was going to humiliate the Longhorns, how Vince Young would be shaking in his cleats at 100k fans in the 'shoe..... Well Grenade....hope you didn't bet the house payment on that one

I've got to chime in on this one too. I've got no reason to make this stuff up either. I've been to college football stadiums all over this country, even to other SEC stadiums in Arkanasas and Alabama and to date LSU stands out for the following reasons. It's the most inhospitable atmoshere for any visiting fan I've ever encountered It's the only place I've ever had ice thrown at me Its the only place where I've had insults thrown at me for wearing green and doing nothing more than walking to the concession stand. and It's the only place where upon returning to my car I found the UNT car flags destroyed and spit all over the windsheild. Nothing like that ever happend at other SEC schools or any other stadium I've been to. Crip*TeamKatt and his bunch seem very hospitable and possess the True nature of what college football Saturdays should be. However there are enough "bad apples" in Baton Rouge that are giving the place a bad reputation.....I'll never go back.

Fouts went to astro turf somewhere around 84 or 85

I heard they were gonna open up a Hooter's in Ruston, but after seeing the wait staff applicants they decided to change the name to Udder's

Saw this on another board and updated accordingly To be sung to the tune of christmas carol "Most Wonderful time of the year" It's the least wonderful time of the year. With the off season snoring, no football is boring, I need tailgates with beer! It's the least wonderful time of the year. There'll be 'Best of's' for posting, trash talking for roasting, awaiting the Jamario show. There'll be no cheerleader sighting and no Tower greenlighting Geeze how much longer to go? It's the least wonderful time of the year. I want cheerleaders in chaps no out-of-conference mishaps, when will the damn season be here? It's the least wonderful time of the year! ------------------------------------------------- The off season friggin sucks.

Back in my day as a student was the last time we played SMU at Fouts Field. My fraternity decided to print up some t-shirts as a fundraiser, SMU was comming off the death penalty so we made up a simple shirt Front just had UNT vs SMU and date on the pocket area, On the back of the shirt it had a red and blue SMU logo only the mustang was on it's back , legs up in the air and a boot print w/ UNT on its hindquarter. Below it said "SMU- Always kick a horse when it's down" We started selling Monday before the game, just word of mouth- walking around campus, taking some shirts to class. By Tuesday at noon we were sold out and made a bundle

That's pretty harsh. But it is refreshing to see this instead of some boring, gut-less corporate speak "we decided to pursue other opportunities"

I'd cut the guy some slack, Maybe just maybe he's on vacation around a holiday weekend? I don't know the athletic dept. personel schedule but I do know that when you work in athletics it's IMPOSSIBLE to take vacation during the 9 months of the school year and especially during football season. I also know our atheltic dept is short staffed as it is, and if you work in athletics you HAVE to take your vacation in June or July. Combine that with an already small staff with everyone sheduling vacations in June and July and you have a skeleton crew holding down the fort at the SLOWEST TIME OF THE YEAR. I don't know what his schedule but it's just a possibility. Another possiblilty is maybe, just maybe they are waiting to release this when the news cycle is a bit more favorable? This was released on a Thursday before a holiday weekend, which means the EARLIEST it would get into print would be on a Friday before the Forth of July weekend. Do you think it would get much notice? Why not wait and do the press release on Tuesday when everyone is back to work, Tuesday which is the slowest newsday of any sporting week, on Tuesday when the only thing in the paper will be the Rangers vs the Red Socks? On Tuesday where your story wont get buried by coverage of the PGA tornament that weekend, Nascar, Wimbledon finals, and the start of the Tour De France? Don't you think we might get a few more column inches? I don't know just my opinion....I could be wrong.

I've always found the toughness of a stadium on the visiting team is in direct proportion to how good the home team is.

Wal Mart likes to brag about their community involvement and support, wonder if we could get them to throw some of that support our way? I wonder how hard it would be to get the Denton Wal Mart to make their employees wear green or North Texas shirts on home game days??? Ever see how much business the Denton Wal Mart does on a Saturday?? If their employees were all wearing Mean Green stuff, it would serve as advertisment to the Dentonites that shop there on a Saturday and would serve as a reminder. I can see the haus frau now....."Oh yeah, theres' a football game in town tonight, Maybe we should take the kids honey?" This could be especially effective if we could place a small sign at the checkout lane advertising the low cost, family friendly Mean Green and the family fun package. Even better if we could talk Wal Mart to sell tickets at the customer service counter!! Maybe we could even expand it, ask Kroger, Albertson's etc to do the same.

What about that kid from Lollygag HS? I think his name was Tyrone Shoelaces

Ok this isn't football but it kills time. Question for the fraternity or sorority types on the board. We all have loyalty to our university, but where does your greater loyalty lie. With North Texas or with your fraternity? Obviously you could say both, but if it ever came down to a choice, which would you say has your heart first? Me....I'll say my fraternity. Now I'm sure some non-greeks will call me sorry for that, but I wouldn't expect them to understand.

How about this. When seniors turn in their paperwork for graduation, one required form would be an NT Exes application, All graduating seniors then would be given one year's complimentary membership into NT Exes. These members would have all ther rights and privilleges of membership for one year. This would have benfits for both sides. First, the graduate who may or may not have a new job wouldn't have to worry about Alumni Association dues, second it would remove any excuse why they dont join, what do they have to lose?, Third- it could be promoted as a graduation 'gift' from the University to the student. Benifits for the exes...It would be an imediate boost to membership, It would be an encouragement for recent alumni to immediately become active alumni and significantly lower the median age of the group, and they can focus on retention rather than recruitment. Just before the membership expires, renewal forms could be sent out, and renewals could be made at the recent graduation rate. How many will renew is up to question, but I'd venture that you'd have more renewals than you currently have new enrollments in the status quo.

See my post in the football fourm regarding the Green Brigade.....
