thanks!

Just couldn't make trip to Tulsa. 3 will be there tomorrow. Can you share any comments about the place? Location?

Very easy: Coach Mac---5 Year Extension!

It will be HOD Bowl for the Mean Green. HOD Committee expect to make announcement a week from Sunday

Glad I drove from Grand Prairie to the show tonight at Rudy's. I am hoping on the 24 hour rule and moving on to Tulsa. Hopefully, a hit 8 and then a Bowl Game afterwards. In three years, taking one of the five worst FBS teams in the last 7 years, to a potential 8-4 record is incredible. And, you youngster may have lots of Bow games left, but it has been a long time since 2004, and I am going to take time to enjoy it. Tulsa-Time!

$10,000! Couldn't help it. Sorry, but I wouldn't miss the game for anything. (sorry deuce)

I'm with you NT03!!! However, for fun, let's see what the National Weather Service says all week: Sunday at 10:45 am....says it will be: 30% chance of rain and high of 56. Monday at 6am...........says it will be 30% chance of rain and high of 51. Monday at 9pm...........says it will be . 30% chance of rain and high of 47 I will update for funzies!

Keys: BEAT UTSA, BEAT TULSA!!! HIT#8NEXT

Two Words: THE STAND!

Grew up in Farmers Branch as a SMU fan. Went to Richland Community College, while deciding what I wanted to go. Even though I grew up in the Farmers Branch Rec Center, never considered that for a career until then. Thus, off to UNT! My Senior year, The Colony wanted to start a Parks and Recreation Department. The City didn't have enough money at the time, so they contracted with UNT to provide recreation services in the Summer. I applied and was chosen. We had a great time that Summer. It doesn't all take money! Our Seniors met in a bar in the afternoon before they opened, swimming lessons were in backyard pools of residents. Ended up staying in The Colony for a couple of years, and then decided it was time to go back to UNT to get my Masters. I earned my Masters at UNT and had an incredible time. I became a huge UNT fan and become following the sports both home and away. Went on to be the Director of Parks and Community Services in Euless and stayed 16 years, and have been the Director of Parks, Arts and Recreation in Grand Prairie for 11 years now. But, I have remained close to the Rec. and Leisure Services Department and UNT through-out all the grand years! What a grand ride, and I owe so much to UNT! Some crazy Mean Green Moments. We were in 1-AA play-offs playing Marshall in Huntington, WV. A good UNT friend and I couldn't afford to fly, so we drove straight through to Hunington. When we walked into the team hotel, corky Nelson looked at us and said "don't tell me you guys drove"? Worst crowd I have ever been around. In fact, they stopped the UNT team bus and tried to turn it over. Never will forgot, we lost, and we headed home. Flying to Seattle, then driving the wrong direction for two hours on our way to Moscow, Idaho and our first big game in the Kibby Dome. Once again, we arrived, dead, and ran into Coach Dickey. I congratulated him on his contract extension, and worried the entire evening and next day that I had jinxed us. Anyway, we want on to blow away Idaho and win our first SB Title. All 4 trips to Nawlins! Especially when we beat Cincinnati. That is exactly why I get upset when people say we have too many bowl games. That experience was like a National Championship game to me. Let people enjoy their time and moments! We had a room on Bourbon with a balcony. I think we through over 10,000 beads over the week. The Conference basketball title in Hot Springs, wlll always be a grand memory. All the confetti, the team cutting down the net, and we totally ran the bar out of crown Royal after the game. What fun it was.... Two Moments from Hell: The game in Monroe in which we lost in 2001. We are on the bus from hell. The driver had to make stops every hour to stay awake. We got back to Denton at sunrise. Many didn't think we would make it back. It was a hellish game and hellish ride, but, would be the last SBC game we would lose for 4 years. Who would ever have guessed.... Our game in Austin that we IN NO DOUBT defeated the University of Texas. Only to have the game stolen from us with not one, but two awful calls. It will gone as the biggest steal in Mean Green history! Finally, our game at Arizona. The Mean Grenn played great. Once again, they failed to call a touchdown for us.... which clearly was a touchdown. I remember talking to the players after the game and they had nothing else to give. Funny, we would have won both of those games if instant replay was in effect. And, awful memories would have been awesome memories. I just don't want to take for granted how grand this season has been. It's hard being a Mean Green fan! The nice thing is....it feels so awesome when we have these moments. I will not miss any further game this season! We may bitch and cuss at each other, but we all have a grand passion for the Mean Green. And, these moments, make it all worth while!

Big Win against RICE OWLS!

Fun second half tonight. We do have some athletes...... Think the Green may surprise. Back to those who disagree.....

AD Department officials asked at the basketball game that we pass this around. Despite some sources showing game times for the Mean Green at Tulsa game, TV officials will decide on game time next Wednesday. Go mean Green!

I was on Yahoo Sports on my Iphone and it showed a Noon kick-off between Coach Mac's Attack and Rice. Can any one confirm such? Was just trying to finalize plans. Thanks and go Mean Green! ParksAndRecRick

I'm with Kram on this one!

The Mean Green Van will be headed to Tulsa! Just waiting on game time to make final plans! "The Mac Attack Road Show"!!!!!

Grand Story! Thanks!!!

Biggest Crowd in Apogee history! Mark it!

No question! The answer is YES! Coach Mac has a vote, and as others have said, his request across the Country, visibility with the Rice game, and National statistics on defense will all assist! #Win8

GreenBat, Thanks for the story and the link. Just completed! Hope others will do the same....

22,000 happy Black and Green fans!!!!

Emmitt, I will remember your comments when Coach Mac leaves with a better offer. We have one of the few people in America turned around the worst Division I Football Team in a mere 3 years. But, of course at UN T, we always believe that is better out there. Guys, we love UNT, but there are bigger jobs. But, I would expect none would have been harder than turning around this program. Someday you will look back and truly understand what you had.....and you lost. Totallly respect your support and love for UNT E! We just disagree on this one..... ParksAndRecRick

Hit 6 Boys! It's BOWLING TIME!!!!!

Mean Green Nation, I have been out of town and couldn't make connections to get to Nawlins. Can you update me on watch parties here in DFW? Thanks! Go Mean Green!!!

We got a long way to go this season. But, very proud of the continued improvement in the Mean Green football team. The team believes and so do I! Brother George says it best, "Do you believe in the Mean Green?" Hell, yes!
