I’m heading down! Beat UTSA and that real bird comment is classic. Rock the gym! GMG

Thank you sponsors! That was another great pre party! GMG

Bringing two LSU fans to their first Mean Green basketball 🏀 game. They and I are so excited. GMG

The gym was rough but it was loud. The band rocked the beats and because it was so small they got the crowd into this swaying chant which was pretty cool. Again easy when I could reach across the court and slap you. This win took some sting out of that trip to FAU for the football championship. The owls are pretty good and they have a battle with MTSU while we have our showdown in BHAM on Saturday. Living in Mountain West Country for many years I watched a lot of Steve Fisher defense at San Diego state. It was smothering, frustrating and wreaked havoc on UNLV’s rhythmic offense. That is what our Mean Green do. it is awesome to watch. FAU rushed several shots just because they finally got an open look only to see it rim in and pop out. Deflation sighs poured from the crowd. Meanwhile the Mean Green didn’t flinch - steady, focused, determined. It was so awesome to watch in person. beat UAB GMG

I’m here and it makes me appreciate the dated Coliseum. They have to be building an arena sometime, right? Their pep band is spirited. Let’s pull this one through Guys! GMG

I just hope this schedule holds I love it! I want to go to Marshall. I want southern miss in Denton. I like the dates we get rice, la tech utep and Marshall. looking forward to this fall! GMG

Wow! That’s a shocker. GMG

The Maniacs are very similar to the supporters sections in soccer. Stand the whole game, chant, heckle, dance, fat heads, smoke machines, yell leaders band integration. Oh man keep it going MGM. GMG

The monster the Big boys are creating will come back and eat their own. The fact that Kiffin in the SEC is voicing concerns is great. It means those low level programs even in the big conferences realize they are about to get purged. That big pool that sits below most SEC programs half the Big 10 and a few programs west of the state of Arkansas is who we need to be aligning with in our future league. It will be competitive fan friendly and interesting for the followers. I could see us in a league with Houston Oklahoma state Texas Tech Kansas Kansas state Mississippi Mississippi state Memphis Missouri Colorado Arizona Arizona State. Not necessarily these exact programs but this tier. In the interim let’s launch into the American and get to know our new conference mates. Kick some tail and win on exit from CUSA. Way to go Mean Green Hoops! GMG

Venson speaks the truth. Thank you twins for the cheers through the years but these men have been praised and given allowances all the way back through their Friar years. Always wish my Black & White and Mean Green fellow alums success. Excited to see PB assemble players that will crush through walls for him - open to learning coaching and growth. Not saying the twins didn’t and weren’t these things but could see how they might not have been. Play up and let’s have another good run and more fun in ‘22. GMG

No way Seth gets more years for a 7 win season in 2022. Seth has run his course in Denton but we have to be partners this year. Even if Seth pulls off a UTSA run he doesn’t get extended. It’s a marriage of convenience at this point. Its one more year. Balls out and get us into a New Year’s Day six game or go bowling in Frisco again or just beat smu and UTSA. 2022 is the epitome of a transition year with new coach in waiting I believe. if Seth exits on an upbeat note meaning championship and bowl win we’ll all have a good Christmas. GMG

Looks like Timmy Chang is coming home to right the ship. Not a bad hire. He will invite the culture to help him rebuild the program unlike the nightmare that was TG. When I moved to Hawaii I came off the plane from Texas a guns a blazing. The first thing my boss did was send me to leadership island style workshops. All of us mainlanders learned a lot which helped us be successful. TG obviously fought the culture and they scooted him right out of town. Good luck Timmy Chang! Some of my greatest memories at aloha stadium involved watching him and the late Colt Brennan play. Go Bows GMG

What a depressing thread. GMG

Plus the Sharks. The NCAA needs more sharks and another cool name. I could work in some LIU Shark gear into my offseason. Heck the Chanticleers need some competition for cool fad honors. GMG

Get excited about the road-trips. I believe we play in Memphis Vegas San Antonio and Birmingham. El Paso can be fun. I mean the road slate looks tasty and home games are always accompanied with tailgates, Green Brigade shows, the elements and the march towards a bowl game, any game. I’m excited on 1.5.22. GMG

When I board a plane or bump into people wearing North Texas gear we exchange “Go Mean Greens” and move about our business with good vibes. Classic. GMG

GO MEAN GREEN

First game this season and man was that fun. Watched the Miami game but ecstatic to be onboard for conference play home and away. we are good let’s have some fun! GMG

Cincinnati wasn’t a G5 issue it was a Cincy issue. Last year’s team was better than this squad. I wasn’t too confident they were going to beat even a strange Alabama team. The Tide only seems to respond when they get punched in the mouth like Georgia will do in Indianapolis. Cincy couldn’t do that today which led to a strange Alabama performance. Go 🏈 GMG

Yeah I guess so about not showing up. To each his her own. But I also believe a marketing effort is in order. 2022 Come Home. I had friends posting pics of the bowl game on tv stating “it’s nice to see my Alma mater on tv.” Pics of their tv with the game on. Another friend alum stated, “this bowl game needed to be In the evening.” Yet they work remote and I am sure with some creativity could have found an afternoon off. These are UNT alums. Same alum told a friend he supported FSU when asked who was his team. There’s no connection to unt. None. Weird concept for me but same alum watches the unt score out of the corner of their eye. But why not even make a bowl game up the road? I plan work projects around mean green weekends. Back to the marketing campaign. We all know a person or 5 like this. What if the athletic department gave incentive to us hardcores to bring one of these fans home. Maybe we get Mean Green bucks to use towards gear or beer or parking passes or prime tailgate spots or end zone cabanas something. The AD doesn’t have to do this alone. Imagine those alums attend the utep game or UTSA game. They maybe come to one more game or maybe the bowl where $25 tickets could be had. My LSU buddy gets us. He’s not even a Tiger grad but he treks to Pasadena to watch them lose to ucla. He owns season tickets and treks to Baton Rouge often. He says UNT needs a transcendent quarterback who wins and excites the fanbase. Then the AD has the ammo to sell the program and maybe that wakes the dormant alum. Tiger fan is new to Dallas and attended the unt game at ford. He’s new to the city and said smu is not Dallas’ team. Unt can totally be the metroplexes team when these stars align. But wren controls part of the equation, a big part, we can influence other parts. Bottom line is we can’t wait for Seth to be fired. We can’t wait for the transcendent team to win. Next fall we could each invite a dormant alum to come home. Show them a good time and if those other things out of our control happen maybe they come back. 2022 Come Home. GMG

But Wren is a professional and don’t you feel the schism when Mumbles is placed in front of the most ardent UNT supporters. It’s a strange weird energy where everyone is faking to love and believe what Seth is saying. This is how it felt before 1-6. You can’t build or keep progressing a program on the backs of fans who don’t believe in him anymore. Wren knows this NS knows this. Seth pulled the rabbit out of the hat and won 5 in a row and beat a Top 25. Nothing we can do about it. But Wren has to expect low energy next year from the fanbase. Nothing changed. Next year please give us Clemson or someone like that in a bowl game because we ain’t winning it whether we be playing Grand Canyon or Georgia. Seth looks across the field in December and sees Saban and the Crimson Tide. One more year of this flat atmosphere then hope. GMG

That was an awesome pre party team! Definitely the highlight of the day - good coming together of the Mean Green Family. go 2022

Yes, though gates say they open later that means there will be people there to take your parking fee at 10:00am or whatever time they said. At FC Dallas games you get there as early as you want pick a spot and set up for fun. Get there early! Get rowdy and let’s blanket Frisco Mean Green!!!!! GMG

It’s an amazing hub. East coast west coast Mexico beaches equal distance. International flights direct to Sydney Hong Kong Tokyo London Rio de Janeiro Paris and Middle East - college sports, bowl games, culture, a business grinding mentality. Miss the mountains and sea but there is much to appreciate about this pulse point on the world map. GMG

In the words of Adler wear Green! On those red seats it is going to be a Christmas miracle! GMG
