In am for keeping UAB but there needs to be an aggressive plan known to all. None of this 5 year stuff. Lala and arky state or even nmsu are ready with both programs now. GMG

Oh college days. I remember being a rebel and then going through the great awakening. GMG

Show me the receipt show me the receipt?. If you think you are not worthy you are not worthy. Look I doubt byu would go CUSA but I never thought I would see them playing in high school gyms in Portland Santa Clara and San Diego either. Let them bring their network and expose their product in the belly of the sec. GMG

Would love to but on road 90% of time. I say we form the Greenbackers group with a mission to expand the brand in the coming year. We select designated projects to pursue then meet and execute. The meeting can be in person and via Skype so passionate Greenbackers from around the globe can collaborate on efforts to build the Mean Green Nation. I want Skype capability since I will most likely be living overseas this fall but there is much work to do and Greenbackers live coast to coast and across the globe. Three to five projects top make the efforts a priority and make them happen. I have not heard back from the byu marketing department do I will hound them until I get answers that satisfy. We're Texans folks we will get it done. GMG

I hope that was totally intentional. It's brilliant. GMG

Bingo. Let the G5 in every year period and now you have the drama of ncaa madness tourney. If the G5 even put a scare into a power opponent the drama would be delectable. Not to mention one year a G5 is going to advance and possibly play in the national championship. This won't be a 16-1 kind of situation. They will grow this playoff thing the right way and we are all going to dream of the big money ball. GMG

MWC trending down. AAC stuck in neutral. CUSA trending up sun belt trending up. You are your where you believe yourself to be. Why not be excellent somebody will be. CUSA excellence Mean Green commitment to compete and win. I believe. GMG

Meant to post this in this thread: I am waiting on a call from the BYU marketing department regarding the large silk banner they wave in ROC section at basketball and football games. Once I find out further information about the price for such a production I will announce the details and get a donation fund rolling. At some point we will need to coordinate with the Talons regarding the maintenance and visual unveiling details. Back with more soon. GMG P.S. - to see the Banner I am looking into see it on YouTube under BYU ROC Section and for the fathead idea see the video Miss It Baby.

Arky State the chip is a good look on you. The Red Wolve in Apogee would be pretty awesome - either non-con or as you know. Programs I always feel UNT has history with include: NMSU, Arky State, Middle, WKU. They don't make the blood boil like south texas but I feel like we have played them ALOT since I began my UNT fandom in 1986. GMG

Boom. I can't wait to see the dirtybird shirt. Pummel the Runner. GMG

We have to beat to beat smu. Two wins are a must smu and utsa. We are in the best G5 conference. Just win and drive attendance. Beating top 25 wku in national TV is going to be delicious. GMG

I vote for Portland bait. Go Mean Green!

I know it is easy to bag on RV and he deserves a lot of criticism for many things. But let's be solution centered on this glorious Mothers Day in North Texas. I train hotel staffs striving towards reaching high end goals and one of my messages to the leaders is that they can't and should not do it alone. The leaders in that room will never have all of the answers and more importantly the creativity lies in the frontline staff of the operations. The best of the best I train find ways to unleash that creativity and quickly a culture of energy, freshness and impact emerges. Just on this board alone there is such incredible talent. Imagine unleashing the students ideas, skills and talents - bringing all of these elements together to move Mean Green Marketing and Promotions to heights never seen in my 29 years of following North Texas. Right now on May 10th organize committees for the following: 1. Game day shirts. Look at all the buzz one upside down green and white pony generated. At USC and ASU you can buy a game day shirt for every home game before the season even starts. There is at least $100 waiting to be handed over for the "Game Day Shirt Pack," even in a five home game season. I never forget the game day shirts at LSU and Tiger fan wanted our game shirt to read - Smoke the Mean Green. Certainly you can get some creative juices going for a Viking, Owl, Red Blob - I vote for "Whats A Hilltopper" with a big green question mark, dirtybird and Miner. In the bookstores you could also buy rubber bracelets that simply said, "Beat Stanford," Beat UCLA, Beat, Washington...While your at it Committee please put together the Pennant packet with all the different schools so I can decorate my home office and tailgate tent. Better include UAB for now. 2. Away game extravaganza. I know there is already some effort here, but I am talking about the travel agency who negotiates room blocks for the Mean Green hotel. We are traveling to some new destinations this year like West Virginia and Knoxville so include tour and site data for the surrounding areas to make a weekend of it. I saw this done out in Fresno and it was great that you could contact one agency who had already collected tour data, had room blocks and airfare information for Bulldog fans traveling to their team. This was also an effort done well at Hawaii when the Warrior fans would travel to the Mainland. 3. Game Day pageantry Flags. How awesome would it look for the Green Brigade to be marching into Apogee and onto the field with large CUSA flags representing each school. Similar to what you see with the Big 12 schools when they are lined up showcasing their institutions as one. Of course we could lead with a North Texas Flag and have a Mean Green flag at the end. 4. Game Day pageantry Fatheads. The ROC student section at BYU is awesome (Roar of the Cougars) and they hold up ALL kinds of fatheads during the games. You see Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, famous alumni, politicians, mascots...during the games and at kickoffs. This is more of a basketball thing but it could work at designated times during the game like when they play that annoying 3rd qtr song - ughhh. But at the end of the game all the fatheads go down to the front of the student section for the ROC coordinators to collect until next game. I could see the Talons coordinating such an event. Also they unwrap and move the BYU flag from the bottom to the top of the stands at a designated part of each game. It is quite a buildup and something I look forward to when I watch them in person. But we need a HUGE flag that needs to be bought and maintained. We need a donation coordinate for fatheads. We need the fathead creators - We have to have coach Mac, Coach Macs glasses, Mean Joe, Dunbar, Smastrek...to name a few. Rick could look like a savior and genius if he would simply UNLEASH the creativity of the Mean Green Nation - alumni, current students and friends of the University. GMG

Bless our Mean Green Nation! Godspeed to our Mean Green sister. GMG

Sell these please! Can I get a south Texas roadkill shirt too. I still think The good The bad The ugly Shirts are a must. UNT pony and roadkill. GMG

I love Tucson. It's warm, there is hiking and the college bars are a blast. I would be happy if we played in this game and even happier if we can make it back to Dallas! GMG

I like this hire. Bring in that big cali west coast experience. Welcome home. GMG

How does Houston feel about a series with UNT? I mean does uh feel more inclined to beast up the series with the large state school up north. It just seems natural to me that the Cougars roadkill and mean green should all be playing each other as big city duos. I liked our series with Houston and they just seem like a more logical lineup than rice. But the rice mean green games have been memorable for sure some good some bad memorable. GMG

Agree on the commercial. Solid

I can't wait for baseball. I was loving watching the softball game today and thought man I would love to see some mean green baseball. Nice job ladies! GMG

Totally disagree that mwc is light years aheAd. In fact cusa is the best right now. Keep growing it. Mwc has been declining but does have its one big horse. Niu is not going anywhere. AAC is perceived as solid but is on par with cusa maybe a step lower. We will see what they bring this year. The best thing would be to create a brand new league of natural rivals Smu Unt rice Houston Utep New Mexico State utsa Texas state Louisiana la tech arky st Memphis. When Houston leaves for the 12 which I predict go get southern miss. Not interested in Tulsa and Tulane's small fan bases. GMG

I think that is fair. I am curious about who is lobbying hard behind the scenes to get in. GMG

Different game. Maybe not in Tuscaloosa but totally different game in so many ways. Love them both though. Go cowboys. GMG

I can get around Your Team Your Green. It's simple, straightforward and generates a sense of pride. GMG
