Awesome news. You guys are really starting something there.

Live broadcast on NTTV?!? Gasp. Are yall really going to do a live bball game?

One more idea that I may have mentioned before: I would like to see more things for kids in the concourse of the Pit. Things like lifesize cutouts of Mean Green players where a kid could see how his height measures up to Justin Barnet's or where a kid can see how their shoe matches up to one of the players actual shoes. This setup wouldn't be complete without someone running a basketball shoot. I am sure there are other things that could be done for pretty cheap for the kids. Just another idea to make the place more festive.

After being a front rower during my entire stay at North Texas, then to leave town............. I must say that one of my bigger joys I have right now is getting to come home and sit front row at North Texas basketball game. There is nothing quite like yelling and screaming and being someone that you just don't get to be in the outside world. (Old man speak coming) IronMan, get front row every chance you get, cause there might come a time when you wish you had the liberty to do that. As far as fan created atmosphere, chants are good. But it is always hard to get the whole gym particiapting and not just one group. Homemade signs are always great too. The tailgating is good, and I think that advertising that to the student body would get a lot done. For this season, starting some buzz in the paper about ShoJo would be good. True or not, he needs to be portrayed as NBA material. Utilizing the viedo boards/sound system would be good too. The Mavs used to have video clips sponsored by blockbuster that would play a 5 sec movie clip that seemed to pertain to the game situation. This always pumped the crowd up or made them laugh. There just needs to be a festive atmosphere at all times. Never a dull moment.

Ahh yes, but pharmacy school leaves me pretty pinned down here.

My TV says it is on ESPN PPV tonight. That would be great.

Found this on the Sun Belt board: Link For a little comedy to this link, try clicking on the "listen" button

Missed you there for the Indiana game Emmitt. Stuck back here now. If hell froze over it would be Amarillo.

Well, like it has been said before, they will only come to the game if they actually know one is going on. The tailgating that Gak has started is a great idea and I do hope many of you join in that. Its a good chance to meet everyone.

I'm excited about this Sturns kid coming in. But we have many many needs.

Pathetic

You can probably say the real word on this part of the board. Its not like anyone reads it anyway.

How about a man show classic and have the dancers jump on trampolines The frisbee dogs come about once a season. Pretty much it is a a few dogs catching frisbees.

Somehow I had forgotten about that poor kid. Seeing him bust in slow motion still puts a smile on my face. The Mean Green rap song was great, but I think it mentioned all players by name (Wes Allen, Unjel, etc) so it might not make as much sense now. I thought it was great at the time though. I still would like a copy of it. Pips are good. Someone playing PIG with RickV at halftime would keep my entertained. IronMan, glad to hear that maybe just maybe the Space Jam was a first this season. I am willing to bet it won't be the last though.

I have a great idea.............lets get 2 kids and get them to put on oversized clothes and see who can shoot a layup first. That would NEVER get old!!!! Even better: we should maybe play the song Space Jam at the games too, that would get the crowd into a frenzy. On the Mavs man thing: I am waiting for the unveiling of Mean Green Man. There must be someone on campus that could do it.

I was thinking the same thing.

It was great to be out there tailgaiting with everybody. I really hope it takes off and more and more people show up each time. Moving closer to the road probably is a good idea. More exposure. Great to meet some people from the board.

I really enjoyed the game. Cutting it to 5 with 3 min or so really made getting that close hurt. Bracey Wright was amazing in the first half. I believe he was 9 for his first 9 !! Minus his amazingly hot shooting and this game is a bit different. I was really impressed with Wright.

My thoughts exactly MeanRob

Overall these guys seem pretty classy. Here is the link to their board. Link

I was like you and was hoping for the outside shot of Washington competing. 28-7 now and it looks like it could get much worse. Ohh well.

I plan on making it to this one.

Man, what happened to the team in the second half? They were close at the break and then who knows what happened. It appears Shawnson Johnson is the real deal.

Whats amazing is I think the lead was single digits at the half (or really close to it).

CMJ, I miss chatting with you during the games. Can't really right now because of school and finals and whatever , but next semester we're gonna have to find a chat room during some Mean Green games.
