Ticket exchange would be an awesome deal! I can reactivate unused tickets for a nominal charge to bring friends to future games (FC dallas). They make money off of me twice in many cases. GMG

Wow folks okay with going 1-5 against ut freaking Sa. Or whatever the horrible record is against the roadrunners. The roadrunners! They laugh at us now and too many more losses and we will never turn that record against them. Smu will always own us on the numbers game, we can still catch utsa. Geez catch Utsa. I remember the good old days when we owned western Kentucky. Beat'em both. Go Mean Green!!!!!

UTSA in a big way! Beat the Runners. GMG

I walk up to the FC Dallas gate - any gate with my FC Dallas lanyard and have them swipe for my tickets. The little swipe machine spits them out in seconds. If I missed a game FC Dallas lets me reactivate all unused tickets for $10 each. How convenient is that! I can bring people to my Beer Garden section for $10 if I was unable to use those tickets As a Mean Green Season Ticket holder I would love to reactivate my seats for $10 each - even if it was in the wing zone. I would get takers. There are 6 games and I know I am going to miss 3 to 4 of them. When I am back in November how about letting me reactivate my 2 tickets for 2 wing zone seats. I would get takers and butts in seats. Make it easy to do business with you and allow me to expose your product at ease. GMG

I feel the following losses: Iowa smu utsa la tech fau southern miss. I feel these wins: Lamar uab utep army rice odu. I hit 7-5 before thinking it out. So surprise me Mean Green!!!!!

Great post indeed. A lot has happened and I just finished a book called Cold Calls to Closing where it highlighted the Drip Marketing approach to sales. I love the concept because it is constant communication, frequent surprises, invitations to be part of it and genuine care shown by the Seller. I think Wren & Co. are making headway here. Positives I see: 1. The graphics make me want to plaster my wall with Mean Green collateral 2. The luncheon is a great idea to get everyone ready for Lamar (and we need to drive attendance) 3. Player updates - I don't get into this as much but I love the player profile segments - I would love to read even more humanitarian stories about the players on and joining our team. UNLV does this very well every time a basketball player joins their squad. I get an update and learn his vitals but I also learn a bit about him as a human - it connects me to the Runnin Rebels again and again. 4. The scheduling - this must remain a work in process and get us more regional games with fans who will add atmosphere to the Apogee experience 5. The Battle Flag vote and decision (His doing or not it feels like an AD effort) 6. Season ticket packaging - first class - even traditional P5 program fans impressed. I posted earlier in the week about the need to get Mean Green helmets and flags into the top bars in the DFW metro. I feel comfortable that a request like that was at least heard. Perhaps and effort will even be made for 2018. I hope to always feel like as a fan I can share real to ridiculous ideas with this regime. So far so good. I will never be able to tap down my Urgency button desire because we have much to catch up on from a program/fan building perspective. But I am down with doing it right instead of fast and where we can do it right and fast, floor it. Culture building means attacking it from hundreds of directions constantly, and we are inside the fish bowl. Se we are not going to see or feel it fast enough. But from the outside culture change signals are occurring. Never lose our intensity and keep the press on. We are all going to ultimately win. GMG

Next question . Should Canales have been given a shot at the head coach position? Kaboom! As the Mean Green World turns. Almost as much drama in a short period of time as the current administration. Mean Green roots weathered and strong! GMG

Ouch. Poor guy. Don't like seeing anyone suffer injuries. GMG

Yes, I get it we have suxed for decades. I've seen a lot of rough years. However, I'm not interested in where we have been. I am interested in where we are going and action is required. I also do not have to diss what the Athletic Department and Wren are doing to come up with a new idea. Call this the Alumni Street Gang or Mean Green Outreach Project. I do not see the bar owner at Henderson Tap House turning down a Mean Green flag for the ceiling or helmet to go in one of the empty spaces on the shelf. There are a lot of bar owners who would gladly accept visual gifts to enhance their bar. Further our look and scheme has only gotten slicker and more interesting. This really should be a full year effort, so perhaps we start getting people made aware of Mean Green Hoops. However, it requires an action plan, resources, a target list and to Cerebus' goal - an accountability report going full circle showing when and where these items get placed. Use our numbers as leverage and explain that in exchange for gear placement we will highlight them as a Mean Green Backer at Alumni Association Update meetings and perhaps in some flash marketing pieces inside the stadium. I will personally hit a sports bar that supports my school even if it is one time, perhaps the bar is far from where I live. The Mean Green Nation must muscle our way up to the table and we need to make sure we don't leave powerful tools laying on the cutting room floor. If the ODU and Troy helmets are good enough for one of the most popular sports in Dallas, a rocking Mean Green SOW helmet is plenty ready to take its rightful place. GMG

For the ambitious go straight for the Friday night camp out. Hook up a tv watch the Friday night mountain west game, stay up late, sit around fire pit and freshen up in the stadium restrooms by the ticket office. It's good bonding time. go Mean Green!!!!!

Is there an effort from the street outreach team to get our logo and name into sports bar in dfw? I bet we could on this board generate a list of bars who need North Texas stuff for their bars. I'm currently watching the Man U game and that team from somewhere in Spain play. I'm at Henderson Tap House and surrounding my tvs are helmets from smu Iowa state South Carolina old dominion Troy and VCU. I see banners in the ceilings from Michigan state smu auburn Louisville k state and Arkansas. There is space to insert a North Texas helmet. Im just saying get people ready for the season. I've got two who need gear Lakewood First and Ten and Henderson Tap House. And I haven't even begun to scrub uptown. Send in students with a gift basket and department rep to get good placement. May as well get people ready for the Next Big Thing. Go Mean Green!!!!!

The express lanes are awesome! I made it from smu area to Denton in 40 minutes express all the way from LBJ near central to the other side of the lake at 6pm 6pm 6pm! I can never remember traveling that far that fast with no interruptions. This fall is going to be awesome! Go Mean Green!!!!!!!!!!

31st season coming. Why do I still act like I'm in 1986! Lots of good lots of bad memories for life and passion beyond wins and losses. beat Lamar! GMG

Emmitt, major congratulations are in order. Thank you for your service and for continuing to make the Mean Green Nation proud. All the best to one of the best! GMG

Have standards friends. Have standards. Nowhere in my book of standards does it say we need to be begging to beat Lamar and uab. Most of you all have even conceded smu. Thank goodness I saw us under different times when we went to Austin Norman and Lubbock expecting to win. Yes Littrell you must beat utsa this year. Get'em up get'em out, beat'em back to San Antonio. Go Mean Green!!!!!

I like Denton pride day where the kid gets a free ticket and parents get 1/2 price or some family snacks. GMG

You need to pepper a culture from 1000 different directions all of the time. That is what changes a culture. It reaches all different types of receivers and ultimately keeps everyone attentive and alert and excited. I still hope for the day when we actually hire a culture creator within the athletic department that focused on spirit culture building On game day on campus in the community. Arm this person with culture ambassadors and unleash. Culture director 80k a year 4 ambassadors 40k -45k per year. Set up testing and feedback mechanisms for constant feedback. That's how MGM did it when I moved there 10 years ago. We moved mountains - 9k employees 5044 rooms 3200 in f and b division 1000 blackjack and game dealers. Laser focus my friends. GMG

Let's make a Big Deal of the first Raising. Pimp the date and time all over campus get some live band and homecoming type spirit endeavors out there. Make it like our raising of the banner in a championship house. Alumni and students will come to an Event. Protect this house. Fly proudly Mean Green!!!!! gmg

This is culture building. You only stay behind the privates if you convince yourself you are not worthy of a tcu or smu level opportunity. You have to believe in yourself to be our true self so why not aim high. Backseat to no one. Go Mean Green!!!!!

The Houston series is good for us and them. They probably get dallas every year and we get Houston every year. So smart. In the non p5 world you either want Boise Houston or byu. We got one of the big fish, now slay them. GMG

I think we Mean Green fans have the best seat in then house. Seth will continue to push like never before to be a must hire if ou stumbles a bit. We reap the benefits and imagine getting good ole UNT to a big six bowl. Smu plays in Frisco and the Mean Green in Jerryworld. Ou is right up the street. Work your magic here SL and the pot of gold is yours! GMG

As a not so closeted running rebel basketball fan I hope and know there is a UNLV connection. Bless you Rebels! In the middle of their fight song when playing that school up north you just yell Reno sux at Every pause possible. It's greatness. GMG

Fine has some of you right where he wants you. I'm down for the best qb to step up and move us to championship contention level. But dismiss at your risk. I love guys that feed off this only to smirk and hoist accolades later. Beat Fine if you can. We will all be excited for it, but In my opinion it is way too early to say this kid is done. GMG

Cheers I wasn't scolding our talon leader for not doing something. I'm just saying that as older alum we get a chance to see some cool sheet as our income rises and our jobs take us different places. This is not the forum but create one for cool spirit ideas. The alum are not consistently asked for ideas for enhancement and as a trainer of five star experiences worldwide I just want to constantly push the envelope on what can be done. Go talons and gmg!

This is an April fools question, right? North Texas all the way. My longhorn friends and metro peeps call it unt. But I call it North Texas because it says all that it needs to say - we are North Texas and not smu tcu uta or utd. We encompass all of this vibrant region which ranks as one of the most progressively successful engines in the world. I even got used to seeing No Texas which bugged for half a year then when we won it just looked better. If I were MTSU I wouldn't change a thing. They have carved out their directional school niche just fine. GMG
