Have a button ready to hit and welcome CSU into AAC Big 12 country. They will enjoy following big brother into the heart of Texas recruiting. Get UNLV or Boise as travel partner. UNLV preferred. GMG

To me the only way this idea gets traction is if the Big 12, ACC get behind it. PAC doesn’t seem to care what happens to it. But we are not far off from most of the programs rising up to forge new rules. GMG

No thank you. Army Navy owns that weekend and I look forward to it every year! Even had a ticket for the game last year, bucket list, but project up east cancelled. That game is magical. GMG

Wyoming isn’t going down. They are who they are and love it. True mountain grit state. They have a fierce rivalry with Colorado State which I am confident they would maintain if CSU ever jumped to the AAC. They will be like WKU in CUSA, a strong MWC program after the MWC transforms. GMG

I don’t agree with a few of the sentiments in here. 1. I believe we are perceived above our southland friends, now cusa with SH. I’ve followed New Mexico UNLV and Hawaii closely. We have better big programs than all those schools right now. They are in the MWC but the AAC is about to surpass them as the strongest G5, just a notch below the PAC when Oregon and Washington depart. In fact, I would invite mega city UNLV to the AAC and rotate all tournaments between New Orleans and Las Vegas. 2. it’s not the student at UNT. We have to go after the community. San Antonio goes after the community and their students show up. We always try to go after alum or go after students but create a family fun environment for the kids of the Community and the parents will bring them. It works in Frisco with FC Dallas 8 sellouts this season, some being in the blazing heat and really cold. Hire a Stars or Mavericks exec to create energy and linkage with the community and watch the average attendance tick up and up and up. Students and dormant alum will show up when we are sexy and cool. GMG

It almost feels as if you won’t need a conference in the future. You need commitment, eye balls, and opportunity games. This is why that comment about smu independence is not far fetched. At this point smu should run its program like a professional sports team. It would probably draw more fans. Our gifts are our alumni base size and location. More high profile wins And runs blow air on this hot ember. GMG

I think academics holds Boise back and that has to be a ploy by Stanford and Cal. But if UNLV gets invited all bets are off and you may as well invite Boise. Of Boise is left in a tattered mountain west, they need to be on the AAC target list along with AFA and CSU. GMG

There are UNT billboards in San Antonio Austin and Waco too. It’s unlike any university marketing push I’ve ever seen. The ones you see around DFW are all over the state. GMG

Honey Citrus Blonde from Community. Very nice. go summer

East Side Social House on The Hill. 40 taps and tv’s in the north concourse. It’s a meeting in the Eagles wings. GMG

I’m telling you Mason Fine bobble head night would be a serious draw. GMG

Welcome to the political side of the business. Hire coaches aka influencers that make them want to bleed Mean Green. Relationships always win. GMG

So much pride seeing this fire truck. I have seen the professional ones in Frisco at the Star for the Cowboys and FC Dallas. Dang sweet. That Denton pride for our their University makes me think there is a marketing plan to be had: Denton County Pride. Make it a competition give the participating businesses and organizations small blocks of wing tickets to distribute at their desire. When we win the community is going to seek out those tickets. Inexpensive entertainment for local families. GMG

In my F&B trainings I tell servers “I want you to speak enthusiastically about your menu. If it sounds like you like your foods and beverages I’m going to be more enthusiastic to order your options, enjoy them, spend more on them. D Magazine said this was a big deal! UNT just won the second most important national basketball tournament in the country. I think LSU would disagree, 2nd or 3rd it’s still a big freaking deal. Two things: I love how business-like Jared is. I feel our athletics is safe under his watch. He is not a cheerleader. Hodge May be be amazing and I am excited he is leading us. Unless there is a big personality unleash I am not sure he is a cheerleader. They can’t be Grant. Be yourselves and continue us on this great trajectory. But we need a Party. The players deserve a round of love from the UNT faithful. The Maniacs deserve another dress up day. With that said we are Denton. Parade takes planning. To Ricks point it’s too late. The super pit would look sad. Have a street party at Eastside. Have a maniacs section. Have a stage the team can raise the trophy on one more time. Bring business to a fan favorite. Have a food truck blowout. Have some local bands play make it a 3-4 hour event on a weekend or Thursday night to get the kids. If FC Dallas can sellout almost every game after years of empty stadiums we can improve in this area. They hired a Dallas Mavericks marketer and boom. “This person” needs to be hired for our athletic department. We’ve got the serious boardroom guys hired, ready to go. We need the unreasonable sales guru, cheer leader, fan link, maniacs follower, gomeangreen watcher…the type of person who might even make Jared a little squishy. Lastly, make the banner night something amazing to remember forever, until we get Big Dance banners ordered. A save the date please like a wedding invite. I and many need to drop this into a calendar and schedule around it. GMG

Oh S. Should I change my plans, to go or not to go. GMG

Bad things happen in the desert at night. Talent still needs coaching. UNT 13 UTEP 34 GMG

Yikes. What a drama in auburn! I had no idea it had turned into such a carnival. Wow. Clark should take the auburn job and Harsin still has some goods in the right situation. GMG

This situation breaks my heart. RIP Mr. Hickmon. Love and peace to the Family. GMG

Ha ha ha ha If Seth wins our Bowl Game I’ll say “Thank you and all the best.” Beat UTEP Beat SMU. Never settle. GMG

What about promotions. I mean we’re talking 6 Saturdays. Go the Texas Rangers route and get creative with 6 alluring promotions a season. They pop up promotions on the fly. Scan your ticket a second time for the free gift. First 15,000 get a Mason Fine bobble head! Tell me that wouldn’t sell out Apogee. Make it against UTSA 2023. How about a Safeway Bowl trophy against SMU. A cool commemorative tee against Rice that reads THE STAND with the players dressed as matrix style ninjas and the date. We stopped them every which way that night. Have a Cincy bowl win promotion. UNLV night. I mean even we have enough history to come up with 3 years of promos. And the top two: Mean Joe Green hard hat night. And of course a slick frame able Peter Pan poster in a sea of red. The stand still shot. The run up the sideline shot. Celebration in the end zone shot. Get creative and fill our dens with cool memorabilia. GMG

When it gets boiled down into small logical sensory nuggets like the 12,000 at $500 a year, that makes total sense. There are a lot of closet alumni who love to be part of “The Club.” The way Dallas is SMU’s energy source. Size is UNT’s fuel. The sheer number of alumni who could be approached to contribute directly to the salary of a UNT student athlete and the pride that brings is Real. Our on the field competitors are in the AAC. Our neighborhood involves the Ponytails, Red Raiders, Cougars and Cowboys. Brain gears churning. GMG

But back to the promo game. They have been pumping this game with laser focus for months. Not a peep about the SMU opener. Weird. If I’m only slightly interested well… Urgency. Precision. Never take a play or opportunity off. Never settle. Create. Innovate. Congregate. Upset. Also, $15 tickets for the Men in Green in the desert is another sweet option. Not having to break the bank after that fuel or flight bill. Excited to jump into their mad environment. Beat UTEP GMG

Personalities like Cam. I think that is his name. I really enjoy his personalization and the way he weaves his story into some of the commentary. It’s not too much or cheesy most of the time. Beat UTEP GMG

Ah yes that sound is so smooth. Same format 30 years later! I used to love the show musical star streams on Sunday nights - it was celestial. beat utep GMG

They can have Sunday night jazz like 91.7 has Latin Hour on Sunday nights which is never enough. I love hearing the world beats. Good decision. There is one station in Denton like 91.7 you can only carry to buccees I swear. But it’s great. You literally need to be within the square, unt zone to listen to it. If it grabs this sound and blasts it beyond chuy’s, amazing! GMG
