I love the mountain west. League games are a blast. Their markets are big supporters, huge supporters in the case of Albuquerque and San Diego. UNLV rocks when they are good. Boise CSU Nevada and Utah State have figured out to get good. I feel this coming in the AAC. Brought on believe it or not by the former CUSA members. We had a nice turnout in Fort Worth tonight. When UTSA figures it out they will bring a nice contingent to Cowtown. Charlotte UAB and FAU need to keep building. Wichita State and Memphis need consistency. Tonight I tasted a bit of our future in this league. It was fun. Beat FAU GMG

Taco Heads I believe is the name. Literally right across from the entrance of the arena doors. I see many green parties here for years to come. It was a great production by the Alumni Association. GMG

That story on channel 11 was incredibly well done. Almost brought tears to my eyes. This team makes me so proud to be Mean Green!!! Go Ladies! GMG

Serious question though: when you see that thing roll out don’t some of you wonder if it is going to work this time? That means there is a pattern or trend. Or like I mentioned earlier I was shocked when it worked and flew a t shirt to me up high. It’s kind of comical please don’t fix it. The betting odds followed by the unknown makes it entertaining. And thank you students and Taco Casa for enhancing our game days. It was a fun home season. Beat Rice GMG

More basketball please. Anywhere. GMG

I was shocked a few games back when it worked and shot a t-shirt directly to me up high. I was expecting just smoke and walhaa a t- shirt flew out. Now can we get new branded sweepers that work for next season? Also, whoever leads those kids sweeping up the sweat, put a little hustle into them. I feel like the refs and teams are standing there waiting for them to get off the floor. I want some bounce in those young steps. Hustle hustle bring the energy! GMG

Memphis up strong early then the Ladies fought back to take a lead they are nourishing. Fun game. These ladies en fuego 🔥 GMG

Indiana and Vanderbilt have to be on the chopping block as you need space for Florida state and Clemson. Next two would probably be North Carolina and maybe Miami? The split is coming. What’s interesting is they think all the fans of the other 100 schools are going to pick a school to poor allegiance into and we’re talking about gate sales and tv viewership. Thats not how college football works. They’ll learn. I don’t personally believe a model that slices fanbases out builds up a league or sport. Again, they will learn. Just keep playing beating peers tailgating bowling and winning. It will all still be so much fun. GMG

I’m excited to play Wyoming. An intriguing team with name recognition. One of their alums is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. We will eventually merge with MWC PAC forces. May as well see where and how we stack up. Plus that away game in the mountains is going to be sweet. GMG

Rip the seats, benches out of a section and put leaning rails cup holders in them. Put this section in the end zone near the in stadium pub and allow guests to wander down with cocktails, beers, waters…this will become a rowdy section at the games mimicking sections like Tmbers Army, Los Verdes in Austin and Stretford End in Old Trafford. I personally don’t like sitting at games and if they made a section like this, you would see some diehard alums new graduates, kids and more simply stand and roar all game long. It would be like an in game party in that section. I’d buy a season ticket for this section in a heartbeat. Haven’t had a seat in Toyota for a decade and these “seats” or spaces are usually more cost effective too. Get creative to spawn engagement. Other perks in this section allow you to get a wristband and hit the Supporters only beer and food line. No seat to sit in, but cheap, faster service options, wristband recognition. GMG

Great work and great idea. Organized supporter groups make noise, get tv shots and lift the energy of our away team. You captured the attention of the smu fans on their board. I went to Rice last year and that gym was already loud with our good Houston alumni base down there. That game is going to rock. GMG

What about the Sun Belt CUSA and MAC? Thats a lot of teams too. Our basketball league has made me more interested in our football league. GMG

We need to keep going after series with MWC teams. Those teams have big win totals and are sometimes ranked. Yet they look beatable. It’s a different style of play I think we could match up well against. Give me some New Mexico Utah state San Diego state Boise Nevada and CSU. MWC and AAC play different styles to my untrained but observant eye. GMG

Heck of a game. I have grown to love American Hoops! Congrats Bulls. We hung with the beasts in this league. See y’all in Fort Worth. GMG

Love that. It’s creative and kept me intrigued. WVU GMG

Build the culture. We have built the basketball culture we need to build the football culture, and I am cautiously excited about what Morris is doing this offseason. There is still that beast in south Texas but with a few pegs we go bowling and start steering the football program in a great direction. but this is bball tonight! We held serve and downed a pony. It’s fantastic! GMG

I guess that what bugs me most is the term “power conference.” WCC is a power conference with Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s. Mountain west with a projected 5 teams in the field of 64 is a Power Conference. GMG.

The label is stupid. There is no power conference designation in basketball. Those mountain west programs run circles around many programs in the big 10 ACC sec…in attendance intensity quality and lore. Cede no territory belief or mindset. GMG

Roadrunner alert.🚨

It’s almost that “sign” or reminder how cool it was to be in Denton. We’ve all had that sign on this board. Hence Denton and UNT live on wherever we go. GMG

Exactly. It’s like the pilots I once trained - cocky, arrogant, knew it all, up for the test. On further reflection that’s exactly who I wanted flying my helicopter into the valleys of Hawaii. If you walk into a situation without the belief you can succeed and elevate, you won’t. Coach is interesting cat. Not sure of what his personality is but it was enough to get one of the best jobs in all levels of football. 🏈 Interesting watch in Tuscaloosa. GMG

I believe it will be Lane. He has just enough villain in him to keep Bama, hated Bama. The Carrol idea is interesting and there is no way that coach is done. He needs a gig more than Belichick. Plus Kiffin knows the SEC. He’s won at most stops. He recruits grade A talent to Ole Miss. He’s ready and I don’t think this is a thankless job. Alabama will reload not rebuild. You give me a ready made culture with high bars and expectations, and resources out the arse. That is not a bad gig. Sark would be a risk. Need to see him do a bit more at Texas before he gets one of the primo jobs in the old SEC. He’s got one in the new SEC. I did Dabo but he struggles with the new landscape. Too risky. GMG

Glad I lived through the Saban legend - can only imagine Vince Lombardi, Bear Bryant and Darrell K Royal. We witnessed one of the greats of all times. Roll Tide gmg

Ford is not a great place. It feels outdated and the concessions are terrible. I’ve only been a few times but your friend’s observations were completely understandable. I really don’t understand how a stadium concession crew can establish such a reputation for mismanagement for more than 5 years now without a fix in sight. I mean if the State Fair booths can do it every year, what’s up with whoever handles the F&B contract for smu. Will not miss ford. Thank goodness for DATCU. GMG

I know they would bring a crowd. But UTSA would bring a crowd to Ford and would they ever want to play them? They skirted them in bowl games and conference play to boot. I don’t want the smu scheduling philosophy of wanting other fans to fill our stadium. Example, Houston yes with their solid fanbase, Texas State, if we have to. But not my first OOC of interest. I think this goes back to my old school days of following UNT since the 80’s. I have a been there done that with the Bobcats. We weee conference mates and I saw them often. Whereas younger fans haven’t seen this show yet. I would much love us going after the CSU, Boise, Oregon State, San Diego State, Washington State, some Big 10s that don’t come to North Texas often. Look we’ll play them in conference soon enough. Quality schedules requested por favor. GMG
