Yet another ridiculous post. WhatIsThePlan......This terribly negative post, won't tear down the remarkable last five years of growth in the facilities of UNT Athletics. Please provide us with the financial dollars that you have contributed to UNT over the last five years to help improve our Athletic situation. WhatIsThePlan....or I'm sorry, I mean't WhatIsThePoint. I forgot...it has to do with Clueless!

FFR mentioned the playoff game in Hunington, West Virgina against Marshall. We drove to the game. The worst fans that I ever experienced! They stopped our team bus and fans got on each side of the bus and began pushing it back and forth. The driver finally gave up and stopped and the players had to walk the rest of the way to the locker room. My and a friend drove straight through from Denton to the game. When we got at the hotel we must have looked like crap. We ran into Corky Nelson and he said, "Don't tell me you guys drove here!" We did and drove straight back after the loss. It was a GRAND team. A dissapointing loss. Just like all those games in Monroe back then.... But, a GRAND expereience non the less. ParksAndRecRick

Awesome!

SpaceRaider, I have always enjoyed the hosptality of our games at Middle Tennessee. I know you have had some heart breaking losses to the Mean Green in Tennessee the last few years. Hope to see ya Saturday (and hope we extend the streak). Have a GRAND time! ParksAndRecRick

ParksAndRecRick's Ramblings....I was one of the few non parents who went to Akron last Saturday. Frankly, I'm sorry we didn't have a Mean Green Travel Package to Akron/Canton. With the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland it would have been a fun and affordable trip for many of the Mean Green faithful......Another interesting point was that the All-American Soap Box Derby was located adjacent to The Rubber Bowl. I bet everyone remembers that. Pretty neat.........The fans were interesting. They had a beer garden attched to the Stadium and at half virtually every student made the trip. The Stadium was a CCC project, built in the 30s. The lights were on the field which was very unusual, but it had grand site lines. They are hoping for a new stadium in six years as well.....I know many of you don't care about this, but all the way through the game the entire team was on its feet and willing the Mean Green to come back. I saw no player throw in the towel. And, for a break here or there, we might have had the same finish of the Irish last Saturday....Jamario looked GRAND! Great effort. His run up the middle was a vintage Patrick Cobbs!....Woody was a step from breaking a big play at least 3 times.....What about those special teams blocks. They had to hurry all the punts in the second half.....It will be GRAND to get Graves back. He is a big time defensive player for the Green.....Anyway, I'm excited about Saturday. For those who haven't seen our games against Middle Tennessee, it is a GRAND rival for the Mean Green now. It was this game that started our GRAND conference winning streak. I remember going over to the Bondfire after that game. It was a GRAND feeling....I believe the power of the GREEN will be a-blazing on Saturday!....Don't forget the Mean Green March at 4pm as we welcome the MEAN GREEN to the Start of the Sunbelt Conference Race!......Ain't Easy to Be Green, But Sure is FUN!!!!! ParksAndRecRick---A Mean Green Fan Since 1980

Weclome to GAME DAY! Go Green! Thrash Tulsa! See ya in Tulsa..... ParksAndRecRick

Sure hope everyone will consider going to Tulsa for this Saturday. Get a Gang of the Green! What a GRAND way to support our GREEN! If it's Green...It's Mean! See ya at Tulsa! ParksAndRecRick
