  1. One of the few times as a grown man I had chills run down my spine. RV is wholly committed to this program and it showed. And beyond that, he's a good man, who thanked the right people. One of the proudest moments for UNT athletics I've ever witnessed. Let the haters and prognasticator's be warned....Our time is coming my friends...We stand on the verge of a signifcant time in the development of this university and you and I have the chance to be an integral part of that development... I will be sending in my meager stadium fund contribution shortly, I will be renewing my 4 season tickets and making my Mean Green Club Donation early this year and I will support whatever fundraising campaigns the AD can come up with... My Faith is not blind, but my committment to my university is unwavering. Go Mean Green!
  2. Good band, free T-shirts and free UNT Hard Hats! Go Mean Green!
  3. 4-8 makes it easier to swallow the bill coming in April to renew my season tickets and MGC donation... All I asked for last year was to be more competitive. We got that this year. I'm going to ask for and expect much more next year... Season cannot be salvaged, but triage would go a long way...
  4. Dude, bravo on the design...I wear this bad boy for every workout, yard work, to fine dining establishments...It goes great under a nice 3 button blazer...
  5. Kram is the board member that has been the biggest hawker of Tank Army Tees...Send him a pm... Because I absolutely love the thought of what you're trying to do, you're more than welcome to borrow or purchase my 2 and I'll get more on Saturday or get them back from you...
  6. Been to 2 home sgames thus far and I don't know where you were parked, but I had my wife and 1 yr old with me both times and never once felt threatened or even slightly skiddish...There's Arlington Police and Stadium Police all over the place and walking thru the tailgate areas... This is actually pretty pointless...Those that want to tailgate for 5 or 6 hours will simply arrive at their normal time and hang out across the street from the parking lots until they open, then move in and set-up shop with their usual amount of alcohol consumed regardless... My Dad has Season Tickets for the Cowboys and I get the Season Tickets for North Texas, and regardless of the product on the field, we always have significantly better times at UNT games...
  7. I ran my 5K this weekend in it, had fancy pictures taken in it and everything... Everyone that sees it and takes the time to read it loves it and immediately inquires about it... Bravo Kram, and I may have to buy another as I wear it about 4-5 times a week right now...
  8. I'll be there for Ground Breaking thru opening Kickoff...Then I get to drive to the in-laws in Houston for Thanksgiving dinner (I had no say in this event planning)...Get to wake up the next morning at 5:00 to drive back to Flower Mound to change and head to the Cowboys-Redskins game... Best I could do...
  9. Win these last 2, finish at 4-8 and we're on our way back... I agree, but it's not talent that's the issue any more, it's playing disciplined football. Protect the ball, keep your damn cool, limit the mental midget mistakes and voila, we're winning games...
  10. Best part of the whole show was Johnny Jones 10 mins or so... Overall its the same dribble we've listened to every Monday, save 2... Handful of plays cost us that game, played well enough to win, lot of positive's, O-Line continues to grade out well.... Coach did say he thought this was a big game in Riley's development (?)... Coach Jones had really nice things to say about the football team, coach Dodge and the work he puts in... Mentioned that at Church the previous day he saw a lot of young men form our FB team there, despite getting back late from Miami the night before... Mentioned that as a testament to the type of program Dodge is running...Don't know if this transalates to wins or not, but it's something I'm personally proud to see and fully support... I've listened to every show this year, and every now and then Dodge says something that really resonates and gives me hope... He's talked every week, save 2, about not losing this bunch of boys and not letting them fall into the thinking they are snake bit... He was emphatic about his teams ability to approach every game with a mindset that they are going to win it... Could be me grasping for somethging to give me hope... Would really like to see Dodge get asked some tough questions... Nothing douchey... i.e. Coach - As an alumni, season ticket holder and Mean Green Club member, we all set expectations for the performance and standard of this program. I can only assume that 5-29 overall and 2-19 in conference play are below your expectations as well. If you could, what do you think are the reasons for the record as it stands, and what steps has the program and yourself taken to ensure success in the future. In addition, what resources or tools, are we lacking that limits our teams football success. If you had a wish list, facilities, coaches, equipment`, what would be on it?
  11. Haven't caught one live all year, normally listen in on 88.1...Email any questions you may have to: Steven.Bartolotta@unt.edu or Hank.Dickenson@unt.edu Didn't get to listen or see last weeks game at all, but seems like they adjusted and we didn't...We gave up 21 in the 2nd half and didn't put any on the board...
  12. Check out Marshall's board and you'll see they're just as ready to fire their coach...And they've gotten progressively worse since Bob Pruitt left.... There are always exceptions to every rule, but big donors and financial support, go hand in hand with winning...Numbers don't lie, and save the Boise's of the world, money equals success...
  13. E-Bay is a marketplace, containing just about everything you can think of, new and still in production, no longer in production, used, never sold before, samples and Manufacturers swag...Any thing you can think of, it's most likely on Ebay...
  14. From the TCU AD WEBSITE: Utah ALL SEATS ARE SOLD OUT FOR UTAH GAME!!! LIMITED NUMBER OF STANDING ROOM ONLY AVAILABLE. Event Date: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 6:30 pm Stub hubs got tickets for 150-300... This is what winning does folks...I have to admit I'm happy for them, good program, good coach, but at the same time I am intensely and insanely jealous....
  15. 6' 200 is not undersized for a safety... KC plays a 4-2-5 in which sources confirm that he plays more of a safety coverage role than a run stuffing linebacker role... Fwiw...talent is talent... Period... And I'm all for more talent... Juco's can work out well and I like they have 1-2 years of extra experience and development...
  16. Agreed...And wasn't Booger regarded as undersized?
  17. You are correct sir....Master Plan does call for a new track facility, but won't be until 2015 by my best guess...Thats means at least 4 or 5 more yrs of Fouts lingering on...
  18. Kram, I'll try to have the boy and wife with me and snake you one...No promises, but I will try... Wouldn't miss this, big day.... And speaking of great marketing ideas, why not raffle off a chance to be a part of the groundbreaking ceremony, shovel in hand, next to the Pres, and RV and God knows who else for $20 or $50? Surprised we don't see more actual fund raising going on...It's gonna be built, everything's approved, ground's set to be broken, opening date set (no announced opponent - diff't thread)... Why not let the fund raising rip and get things going...Start informing season ticket holders of what's coming, new ticket prices, new MGC donation levels... Is it still too early for this? Eitherways, I'll be there, Tank Army shirt on my back, snapping photos of the fam early...
  19. My season ticket holding father will be going to Corsicana to watch a Kilgore Playoff game...I was just in Kilgore two weeks ago for their Hall of Fame golf tourney and watched them play Tyler in September... Solid program and solid competition in the SWJCAC... We need ties and in-roads to Kilgore, Tyler, Blinn and the rest of them...They consistenly have players go on to the NFL, year in, year out... All for more talent!
  20. Steven and Hank Dickerson from the AD office both responded when I asked the same thing...Original 2pm kick off meant they didn't have them scheduled...along with it still being light at 6:30 or so and voila, no fireworks... I've been assured that come win or loss, we'll have fireworks for the rest of the games due to DST..
  21. Just emailed the Marketing Relations with meangreensports and they said we can email any question we might have to steven.bartolotta@unt.edu prior to the show and they'll try to work them in...I suggested they add a call in/email in/text in question and answer section... fwiw..
  22. I am going to hawk my wife for this trip...I'll keep her jewelry....
  23. ESPN and all my iphone apps have it as a 2:00 kickoff but meangreensports.com has it for a 3:00... I will be there to tailgate. My son turns one on Friday so we have a birthday party at 4:00 on Saturday. That's as much as I could negotiate with the wife for... Not bringing the bus, subdued "true" tailgate with a SUV lid raised and some chairs... Steak on a stick - no go, pulled pork - no go... In the end I will be there with my father, two UNT chairs, a cooler and a half gallon of purple bag...Which is for both the UNT game and the 1st birthday party... Can someone confirm what time kickoff is...Means the difference of seeing kickoff, or seeing the whole first half... I will be back in full regalia for the ULa-Monroe game and the Navy Game....
  24. Watched him play.... He grew up next door to one of my buddies growing up... Was good at Marcus but they turned into a running team... Had some d-1 interest and ended up having a couple rough outings and a few losses and offers never came... Great kid and super nice family... Good athlete and I'm glad to hear he's doing well... We didn't miss on this one imho...
  25. I'd like to see the "Eagle Soar"... All 22,000 fans flapping their arms like eagles... Maybe on kickoffs and 3rd downs? And we're the eagles... Why don't we have an aviary and live eagle do the flyby thing before kickoff... I think that would be cool... General studies major... Best I got... Actually had he same conversation with a fellow UNT grad who's a die hard SEC fan and had no idea what the traditions for his Alma mater were...
