Comes off very poorly. It's like having to explain a joke that nobody got immediately after the punchline.

Alright then, how about "competitive" in the SEC? They've done well and hit numerous milestones since their admission into the conference.

I'll say this: As a Houston Astros, Houston Texans and a Houston Oilers fan... I support my teams as best I can, win or lose. I'm not a fan because they win. I'm a fan and that's that. I associate those teams with all the things I love about the place they represent, some childhood nostalgia and other fond thoughts are associated. The same is true for me with North Texas. It hurts to watch us struggle so much with football but perhaps in time we'll get there. I watched A&M go from a lowly, always beaten, middle to low end of the Big 12 team to an SEC powerhouse. I'm still excited we're in the CUSA. Maybe before you know it we'll just keep crawling up and up in competitiveness and talent.

I understand. It's tough.

Firstly, to each of you wonderful folks who recommended the Hilton Garden Inn, Roosters and Jupiter, thank you! Absolutely excellent on all fronts. Secondly, parking at Fouts went smoothly and Apogee looked outstanding. This being my first time to see any of this, I was surprised at the density of committed tailgaters. I saw couches out there for goodness sake. Positives: Everyone was friendly and respectful, even to SMUt fans. Pyrotechnics, the cannon, the sound system, cleanliness etc were all terrific. The band was outstanding and impressive because of course they were. The score didn't end up nearly as embarassing as I worried it might after the 1st half. Negatives: Far too little green in the crowd. We need to work to make a sea of green a given. Also, apart from the east side/west side north/texas thing, it appeared no one knew what else to do when prompted or that they didn't care to participate. Could we scatter leaders or boosters about the stadium to help with that? Fans need to be called upon and required to engage and get loud with different yells and such. Finally, we need to win or get dang close. We got pretty handily smacked and a sparse few can watch that and return, certainly not with zeal and hope. Campus looked great. Everyone in Denton is wildly laid back. Loved it. I'll be back soon.

I clearly need to be more wealthy or browse the ticket exchange here often. :-)

But I mean I suppose you'd need season tickets or to be a lifetime member of the MGC or something to have access to those tickets...

Fantastic. Thank y'all so much. Are there club or box seats somewhere? I wonder if regular joe's could slip into one for a game or two.

Awesome. I'm fired up. Not sure what the view will be like in section 108. Thank y'all so much!

Guys, I can't thank y'all enough. I think we'll try the Hilton y'all seem to prefer and may even uber to avoid moving my truck in all the traffic. I hope there's NT gear available for purchase somewhere around Apogee... Also that we dash smu to pieces. Food ideas without going to dfw?

So, I'm coming to my first ever mean green football game. I live so far away that it has always been very difficult to make it work. But on the 3rd I will be in the recent grad section with bells on. I will be in green, white and black and screaming my head off. Here's the thing though: I'd like to find a hotel that is nearly inside of apogee :-). Where does my Denton dwelling Meen Green Brethren recommend? Also, I'd like to read any recommendations on what all to do before the game on Saturday and perhaps on Sunday. I'm sure grateful for your help

Yeah after being transferred to 3 people I finally ordered the green from b&n.

My degree from UNT got me a financial and positional promotion. My dealings with the university have been nothing but stellar. I am hopeful for better performance in our athletics but my pride in the school and my fan-ship does not depend on wins at all. I'm an Houston Texan and Astros fan for goodness sake. I wish we were renowned for some sport, football would be killer but I'd take whatever. Perhaps in the future as we grow. I also wish the students/alumni and fans were die hard, positive and hopeful but I don't get that sense much.

Good deal. 1st thing Monday then. Thanks so much!

I see nothing on the site, gents. Can I get a link?

I live 4 hours south of Mean Green territory. Any online store front with the new ones available?

I have had multiple accounts of folks seeing me decked out in NT gear and saying "hey my _____ goes/went there!" It's really satisfying to see such a positive response so often. Many freak out over our ring. What puts the exclamation point in this? I live in Bryan and work at A&M. lol GMG!

Hey Mean Green, Please tell a hopeful UNT Alum way down in Bryan that this Idaho game is covered by one of the ESPNs or perhaps a CBS or ABC affiliate. Kickoff is at 6? Thanks guys. Hope the week is treating you well. GMG!

so much yes.

Love the idea behind representing history but the mismatching colors make me feel like we're a little mickey mouse. But, I suppose everything needed to be just as it was. As long as they win, we'll work on the "look good doing it" with time.

Disappoint.

Does anyone subscribe to this service? If so, tell me about it please. It may be my only option to watch the games down here. I'm in a TV sports hole. I can watch the Texans and golf at least but I'm hosed on Astros, Rockets and our Mean Green.

Okay well that that's entirely acceptable. lol

Great stories, guys. I think it's a lot of fun to reminisce. Keep 'em coming. Did they group you by major Jesse?

Yup.
