I think that the Tongan community has a long reach. Coincidence maybe but I ran a half marathon in Maui few weeks back. As I do in every other race, I wore a North Texas hat and tech shirt. I got at least ten Go Mean Green's (more than I got North Texas) during this race, almost all from folks who appeared to be Tongan. Most were volunteers at aid stations, firefighters, etc. I think the Tongans in Hawaii pay attention to where their brothers are playing football. Love the consistent passion and hard work I see when I watch them play football, first brought to my attention watching Trinity and Brigham Young. GMG

Maybe 139? GMG

I suspect the coaching here made it a little bit easier. Let's call it a draw, and see which team plays better that day. GMG

Corollary: I watched some of our best games at Apogee and Fouts with 3500 or so of my best buddies. Lance Dunbar vs MTSU comes to mind. GMG

Probably going to ACU. GMG

Facts suck. GMG

Thank you sir. Quinn is one of ours. I can't recall a time when Quinn wasn't smiling. He always seems to be enjoying what he is doing. My family was at Via Grande one night last season or this one, I can't recall, after a game when a whole bunch of Shanbour folks came in for a post game meal. It was fun to briefly observe you all enjoying the win together. Wishing Q great success at UC Davis. I just became a fan, and it is an acceptable move for him since they are no longer the Mustangs. By the way, if you are a wine fan, watch the movie Bottle Shock. UC Davis has a nice cameo role. https://theaggie.org/2008/07/31/bottle-shock-seek-expertise-at-uc-davis/ GMG, and go Cows.

I'm impressed with the number of visitors that have already committed elsewhere but are here to see what we are doing with current resources (this new coaching staff and conference) late in the recruiting season. Let's get a few. GMG

Interesting players don't want to announce on the day of the NC. GMG

True, but surely the black pants sealed their fate. GMG

I'll stick with down the corridor of years, we'll drink lots and lots of beers. For North Texas.... GMG

Jake the Snake is worth the take. GMG

I thought that was video of @DamonGochneaur at the FIU game. GMG

Did that once with a Judge from Denton, up the Hudson to West Point. GMG

Any ideas when the AAC announces its football schedules? Looks like they announced 2022 in mid-February, but wondering if it might be delayed with the new league alignments. We know (or think we know) we have Cal on 9.2, @LaTech on 9.16 and ACU on 9.30. We have UTSA, Memphis, UAB and Temple at home, and Tulsa, $MU, Tulane and Navy on the road. Hoping to schedule work or family trips around some of these away game weekends. GMG

In +3. GMG

That was the inspiration for my profile picture, SE. Thanks! GMG

Often thought this, that we voluntarily put in our nameplate what we donate to the program each year on tickets, MGSF, etc. I'd be the first to admit my number isn't as high as I'd like it to be, or even as high as its been in the past. My biggest giving years were during the five-year period where I paid for the continued right to buy club seats but that was also when I made good on my commitment to give more when a new stadium was built.. But by identifying donation levels, it would add context to the posts complaining about the Athletic Department not spending enough money on a particular coach, or marketing, or a program, etc. Not much of a fan of Mr. Sanders style but he got it right on this one. GMG

I'll take this endorsement, both of them in fact. Speed, solid 3 stars. https://247sports.com/Player/Landon-Sides-46136085/ GMG

I tweet for swag. GMG

That is still the case, I understand. I am not even sure they would have allowed me to buy 12 tickets even if they had them (the bowl site allowed a group purchase that had to be done by phone, not online). GMG

Tune In plays 88.1 HD 2 and I haven't found HD 1. I sleep to it. GMG

We bought 12 assigned seats in Sec 131 from the Bowl site, after clarifying UNT sold through its goal line allotment and would get no more. Price point was right for most of us and we like our seats. GMG

Aside: I love this episode. The looks that Lamont and Rollo are giving to Fred are priceless. But, GMG
