  1. We need to keep bringing it. The ball will bounce our way! GMG
  2. I actually enjoyed watching the Renegades and Lance from Santa Fe on Saturday. Good watch.
  3. That was fun! I kept thinking, aren’t we the magic 3 point team in the land! Their 3’s kept them in the game but it was nice to see us so physical. I remember when Charlotte and uab were bigger faster more seasoned than us. Love how our pieces just grind and catch the flow when the game gets tight. I too think the refs let them play tonight which was enjoyable. GMG
  4. One more ticket purchase comment, related. The ticket office at the super pit needs some lights. We could barely find it without eventually popping in to ask one of the table attendants. Walking up those stairs from the fouts lot drops you into the student entrance. There need to be signs on which way to go to purchase tickets to get in. Plus light it up. It looked terribly desolate because the game was 7 minutes in and most folks were alReady inside. sorry to derail. just A ticket office observation from tonight. GMG
  5. I liked the uta domination this year in Arlington. UTA is a respectable tourney rich team. I was impressed even though it was early in the season. GMG
  6. Apogee has been great too from a branding perspective. The local media can even easily say it with ease and confidence. It’s short sweet and not “taco town stadium” or investment analysis field or something whack like that. gmg
  7. Can’t wait! I want the wine glasses package too. beat the 49rs GMG
  8. Mason actually welcomes and crushes the toughest route. Keep on proving young man. He will succeed. GMG
  9. Winning is vital for sure. Our basketball team is making us proud this year. Our soccer team has been making us proud for a long time. But investments also gets noticed. How serious do you take your athletic programs makes a difference. I think on those fronts we are attractive. GMG
  10. Leopold, I think it Has to be three members for it to make sense for the AAC. And I would think the best three would be San Diego UNLV and Boise. The bottom line is that developing rivalries in such a far flung league is really difficult. It almost makes too much sense to grab a strong core that exist in the center of the country and harvest those rivalries in an all sports conference. It’s not popular on your board but North Texas Houston and SMU could form a nice ring to expand out from. I just think SMU and North Texas could establish quite the relationship Quickly by playing in all sports consistently. Houston and North Texas already feel like mirror schools in many respects. Historically Houston has some fantastic accomplishments but geographically both programs are similar in a lot of ways. I think there is a craving and SMU and Houston for more regional rivalries and for us at North Texas we would love more quality regional rivalries. it will be interesting to see what develops. GMG
  11. I agree on a move to the MWC. I also would go even if several of the Premier programs were swallowed up by the AAC. The AAC could take Boise UNLV and San Diego State or just Boise. You are still going to be left with programs like New Mexico Colorado state Wyoming Fresno perhaps Air Force Utah State. All of these programs have stronger name recognition and accomplishments then some of our current peers. I just really would not mind breaking off from some of the eastern sea USA teams. You might see a completely new reconfiguration of the mountain west and conference USA. And most importantly we need to get out from under Judy. GMG
  12. SMU fans on their board are being encouraged to watch Twitter tomorrow regarding realignment and possibly Boise. If anyone has insider scoop please do speculate. What is great is that we have an administration that I’m sure is completely dialed in if something interesting develops tomorrow. GMG
  13. We need the one seed at Frisco. I want that center to be packed with mean green fans going crazy! for the team and conference we need a strong showing and deep run! gmg
  14. First time to watch them since uta:( need some defense and magic in the final minute. GMG
  15. That goes back to my thought about still being able to do it in CUSA. Look I have mountain West Country running through my veins. I love the league way more than the aac. But if you build a sexy brand with affiliation to the hottest market in the States with some recognizable glorious history, a hot coach and massive alumni base. That story and brand can play on New Year’s Day. There is nothing Memphis did at jerry world that we couldn’t do if we work hard, win and find the sizzle in North Texas. Last year would have been the year to blast this rocket off but it fizzled and an opportunity was missed. TCU didn’t give up when they got snubbed by the playoffs. TCU had some heartbreak moments on their rise. We had a heartbreak season but it’s over and a whole new experiment looms in the fall. I’m glad the right people and is fans are dialed in. It’s going to be a fascinating and hopefully fun fun season! GMG
  16. I just sit back and wonder what is in it for the Broncos. They don’t need the aac to get to the ny6 bowl. Does playing ucf and Memphis Jazz you up? Doesn’t me. Now going the other way I get interested in seeing Boise play. They have a mystique about them that the Knights and tigers don’t quite have. And to mean rob’s point then you get those dog matchups of Tulane and Tulsa and East Carolina coming to Boise over the likes of Fresno, Nevada, Wyoming, UNLV and Colorado state. Sorry I don’t see any juice for the Blue fanbase. Lastly, I hear this drumbeat about cusa canjot get there. CUSA just has not had a team be good enough to get there. We’re talking from beginning to end of the season. Nothing is holding us back as a league other than no program had had the stars align for them yet. If Appy State was inches from playing penn state, a cusa team can make a run. Look at our bowl performances the last 2 years, better than the aac and others. Get that woe is me attitude out of here. It’s not a perfect conference by any means and I would explore options if given the opportunity. But until then lace them up and go after the New Year’s Day bud. That should be the goal at the front of the season, along with hosting and winning a conference championship game in Denton! GMG
  17. If I were the big 12 I would look at adding Boise and BYU to expand its stretch interest and give it two more powerhouse fan bases. The big 12 is losing ground to all the other p conferences except the pac 12. It could benefit from having more high profile matchups. Football games featuring tilts between Boise and BYU against Oklahoma and Texas have more national juice than anything matched up against Baylor or TCU. Before the playoffs you could see anything that could be was being done to make sure baylor stayed out of the four. They don’t want them and their small non nationally interested fanbase near the big 4. Baylor took care of themselves or Oklahoma did and all was safe. big 12 needs to do something because they don’t even look like they belong in the same Sandbox as the sec and big 10 and Clemson. GMG
  18. See the west coast conference. Gonzaga gets the glory and has established themselves as the best. St. Mary’s challenges to keep bell ringer on their toes. BYU has name recognition and can upset the bell ringer and conference challenger. That’s pretty much it every year in that league. GMG
  19. Seth strikes me as the type of guy who thrives on chemistry and struggles to confront difference of philosophy in his team. He looked so frustrated on the sidelines last year many times. I’m glad he appears to be hiring gentlemen he can lead and trust to execute his plan. It’s a completely new day in Denton. Kind of exciting even though the unknowns are significant. GMG
  20. I do feel their is a missing game. I love the magical runs Boise and UCF can go on but after watching James Madison vs North Dakota State then Clemson LSU I feel there should be a G5 championship game or something Similar. I would have tuned in and been juiced to see Memphis vs Boise this year. Put it in a 60,000 seat destination stadium and then you have 3 cream de la Creme games with really good teams battling it out for a championship title. Now I went to the Memphis penn state game and Memphis brought more fans and were louder. They held their own. Slightly torn about this because it would be the final split. But Quality matchups rock. GMG
  21. I attended the BYU vs Portland game in Provo and the tickets were only $9 for general admission. Did the men’s volleyball game the night before for $6. Kids everywhere, yeah I know it’s Provo. But I even thought they hook them young in Utah. Rah rah rah rah rah go cougars! repped our celebratory Mean Green beanies celebrating the FAU beat down! GMG
  22. I’ve been traveling but watching this team grow from a distance. After the UTA game which was the one I got to see I felt we were trending in the right direction. Now I feel like our stout non conference slate has prepared us well. Nothing would be finer than to see a sea of Green in Frisco as we make a deep run for The crown. Keep it rolling MG! GMG
  23. That’s really cool. great Win today b-ball! gmg
  24. Never ever ever too much college 🏈 football. GMG
  25. This would have been a perfect bowl game for us in 2019: off graduation weekend, perfect sunny day, close location, 25,000 wearing Mean Green. I went to the cotton bowl and let me tell you, I can’t wait to get back. Win or lose those penn state and Memphis fans partied before and after the clash. Don’t rush this staff. Build it right with hungry experienced developing leadership. FAU is setting a nice bar as the beast of the east. Time to create the best in the west. GMG
