Does everyone expect Mason Fine to start at HOD ?
PlummMeanGreen replied to greenjoe's topic in Mean Green Football
Enough said with #1 although the OL shows signs of promise. This time of the season they are more sophomores than freshmen. The same with Mason Fine. I look for a good HOD Bowl performance from both. GMG! -

PlummMeanGreen replied to greenjoe's topic in Mean Green Football
How many CUSA teams led the nation with their QB being sacked the most many times before he even had time to set & pass? In 40 plus years of watching MG football Mason Fine is one of the most promising talents we've had at QB. We have deficiencies in other areas I hope we address this recruiting season.- 167 replies

It's a toss up. -
Great video shot all over our campus! 10 million hits on YouTube? WOW! Sho' nuff would be nice if the Eli Young Band (and fellow alums) would sing an a cappella version of the Star Spangled Banner to open the Heart of Dallas Bowl game. Any of you guys know them? Most of you probably know that these guys all met at our main UNT campus Clark Hall, formed their band in Clark Hall & not a Music Major among them. Proud of these fellers we are! I get a request at most every wedding I DJ to play an Eli Young Band song & don't think that I don't take that opportunity to tell the entire wedding party from whence these fellers got their degrees.

2 interesting things from the radio broadcast
PlummMeanGreen replied to Cr1028's topic in Mean Green Football
Good one, Joe! It still upsets me that you couldn't remember me buying a Raleigh 10 speed from your Denton Bicycle Store back when I was a student! (uh, just kiddin', Judge Joe). GMG! Beat Army! -
...I believe Coach Seth Littrell & his assistants will be able to sell every bit of this over the space of time. No one hit wonders with this group. Just a gut feeling. http://www.meangreenmap.com/ And besides Apogee others of our outstanding varsity sports venues listed in the above virtual tour link of the MG Village. An Indoor Practice Facility on the way! GMG! Beat Army!

LOL! I went fully digital when digital wasn't cool with the old school DJ's. www.soundworksdeejay.com And that quote: "The older the violin, the sweeter the music." Well, only we old pharts' say those kind of things, right, Hunter Green? LOL! MICKEY, MICKEY YOUR SO COOL! My childhood hero Oklahoman Mickey Mantle who I was fortunate as a kid to see hit the 1'st home run in the Astrodome's Opening Night on April 9, 1965, & who I met at the UNT Super Pit conference room area when he was with his good friend UNT basketball coach the late Bill Blakely; anyway, "the Mick" said: "If I knew I was going to live to be this old, I'd taken better care of myself." GMG! Beat Army!

OK, I just misunderstood as I do more often older I get. It's hell getting old....I hate it! GMG!

2 or 3 pedigree recruits we now may be able to sign because we're in this bowl game can move North Texas up the food chain pretty quickly. Boise State when they first began their Top 25 run rarely had high ranked recruiting classes, but they had coaches who could evaluate talent like goat ropin' son of a guns that few others were looking at. Wait until the Fat Lady sings before throwing in the towel when recruiting Texas & Oklahoma high school talent. GMG! PS: How many name schools recruited North Texas All CUSA Frosh LaDarius Hamilton? How many stars did Recruiting Services give him? I have no idea & is why I'm asking.

Mean Green Land two on the all conference Freshman team

Please, please, please....no intent of melodrama here, but this is why this game is important to so many of us because it just takes us back to our own innocent & simpler times when we were 18, 19, 20, etc. Whether we'd admit it or not, many of us older alums live thru the vigorous young men such as the ones who will be on the floor of the Cotton Bowl wearing Green & White along with Old Army Gold & Black. Like Terrance Mann aka the great James Earl Jones said in this famous movie clip about baseball you could easily insert the word football. Baseball, football, soccer, swimming, etc., are all a bigger part of us than we might ever believe. Besides supporting our favorite college's football team, there are other things I believe to be in play that will have us coming to the Cotton Bowl Stadium on Tuesday, December 27'th, & toward the top is: WE LOVE OUR GOL'DARNED COLLEGE FOOTBALL!?⚡️☄️?? GMG!

SUPER! We applaud you, bstnsportsfan3! Having Army in this game to the many of us who call themselves patriots actually makes this game even more special. (No, I will not break into a verse of "It's A Grand Ol' Flag".........yet). GMG!

A $75 HOD Bowl game ticket perspective: That is tantamount to a half a month of Starbucks Grande (or medium) Caramel Machiottos. A $50 HOD Bowl game ticket perspective: The cost of one favorite bottle of wine that I like at Olive Garden. A hundred more similar perspectives. Some who can't come to this HOD Bowl game have their reasons and we really shouldn't question them because its their business, but a few of them shouldn't throw cold water on this bowl game for whatever reason, either. We are all trying to encourage new fans, alums & friends from each of our eras as UNT students to buy tickets to support our team--not discourage the ones who read GMG.com. GMG!

Below is the the MGRN video highlights of our New Years Day, 2014, Heart of Dallas Bowl game versus the Mountain West Conference UNLV. My favorite offensive play in this game was at 3:23 in the YouTube video. Was it any of yours? :) If the Cotton Bowl still had its old capacity of 72,000 we would have filled over half of the stadium for this game. After its expansion in their bid to keep the Texas/OU game the new capacity would be its present 95,000. Even at that size our HOD Bowl game crowd on that 2014 New Years Day was very, very loud.

From One High Schooler's POV
PlummMeanGreen replied to FirefightnRick's topic in Mean Green Football
I'm 66...can't remember my own name at times. :) I get "card'ed" at times to get my senior discount. Hell! Some tell me I don't look 50! A Wea'ther College girl at our new "Film Alley" (like Dave N' Busters) when I asked her to guess my age she said.....42! I told her my age and she jokingly demanded to see my DL. I told her I was part of the un-dead and had been 42 for 300 years. I know....just more dad joke crap coming from me! Excuse me, I need to take some meds! GMG! -

Last night, DFW's CBS11 sports reported with a visit to Apogee Stadium & in studio gave North Texas a great commendation with the APR aspects of our bowl invite. In fact, the cute brunette gave our players a thumbs up and a big smile because of the grades theme of all this. GMG! -
Seems the HOD Bowl officials like our Chrome helmets, too? GMG! ❓ Any Farmers Almanac weather projections for 12/27?
-
Give us Chrome at the HOD & on national TV! Best North Texas helmet I've seen since a Mean Green fan, circa 1973! Variations? Tweak it if need be but keep it as our #1 helmet & a big part of our players unis. ❓I wonder what a white wing span with green trim on Chrome would look like?

Now that is a Christmas "feel good" story. Hope your dad & y'all have a great time at the HOD Bowl game. See y'all on Game Day!?✳️?
