Well you're welcome to believe what you wish. Really it has little to do with how UNT fares, but as a TCU alum, and someone who worked for TCU for 4 years I do know the institution has created a model that makes it a "destination" type school for the east and west coast elites. They are popular there, and the fanbase (Just like Texas, Tech, etc.) is made up of much more than just alumni. That's proven itself to be true when you see how well they travel.

VERY large following. Believe it or not the majority of students at TCU are not from Texas. They are overwhelmingly Californians.

Absolutely spot on. I felt horrible last night, and I still do. But I’m sure that pales in comparison to how those kids feel, and how I’m positive Mason feels. I hope he’s ok, and I will say that it doesn’t feel good feeling so bad about a loss, but that is a real good indicator that we have come so far from where we once were. Where suddenly we are devastated because our UNT, yes North Texas, had a chance at an undefeated season. We need to digest this loss and yet be extremely thankful and feel blessed by what we are seeing. GMG

Great thoughts jayD!

While we're all looking at APR, interest rates and all that crap, let us also pause to reflect that nUTSAck has six wins. I was enraged last night when I saw they won. I hate that stupid little team.

I feel the EXACT same way.

See "Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act" Yes, they are ball players and yes we all have a vested interest in seeing our teams succeed, but these are students. They are student's first. Not employees. http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html

+1. We aren't all that stupid. We know this is A. a D2 team. B. a horrible team. 3. A home game. Lets enjoy this win until tonight and then think about two weeks from now. Amen?

From what I heard there were a few "young alumni" who were very displeased with seat stealing, etc. on their side of the stadium. Maybe someone brought it up to the ticket people?

Assistants? Or assistance? Do we need assistants or assistance? also.... I doubt that about "all" D1 teams. Yes, Chico is the go to guy for QB's.. frankly, I'm ready to see him move on to other places.

THIS. WHO CARES ABOUT UNIFORMS AT THIS POINT!

TCU is killing Minn 30-7

We've got to get this kid in

Same here

Indeed. Now get rid of that graphic. The Spurs closed out the heat in 5...

I'll say that it does take a degree. That's my professional opinion. But that's neither here nor there.. I was making a connection with a UNT Alum+Fan=Effective marketer. Like Mean Green Man interjected above, its obvious he has marketing qualifications=superfan status. Can you imagine HIM doing marketing for UNT? It be great.

I can understand your sentiments. By the same token, there are a number of things that are probably keeping people from the games. We've discussed these at length in other threads. My thoughts on Thursday are as follows: ONE: Its a Thursday. TWO: opponent. THREE: Ticket pricing and options. Now I'll be the first to say that I believe that we get an extremely good value for our money at UNT. But honestly, that's owed to us given the level of competitiveness we've had and the product on the field we've been subjected to over the years. There are allot of young families who just don't want to go. Pricing, convenience, whatever. My brother in-law used to be a faithful attender. (He's also a UNT employee) but He nearly crapped his pants once he saw the ticket pricing. Granted he's a tightwad like the rest of my in-laws, but you catch the idea. I'll add this: I'm a MG Club member, "recent" alumni, season ticket holder ( for 3 years straight now)... and I don't get emails either which is strange. Maybe one of the most difficult things for the marketing team is that they are passing all the actual work onto their Interns instead of getting out there and taking some ownership in the organization they represent. Working for UNT Athletics Mktg should require a degree from UNT maybe?

They're selling these on the MeanGreenSports.com Site.......

Class-Act Coach Mac.

Man I hope they go and play..I'm feeling that the Green will be stronger if they go and can hear Fly Like an Eagle!

There's actually a thread on this...Barefoot will be making them custom for us. Get in on it!

THIS IS A W E S O M E......

Benford was given this team on a silver platter. HE F'd it up!

I'm still wondering the same thing....

Now THIS is funny. haha... Also, I believe if I read the article correctly, alcohol is banned "until a task force is created on alcohol education." Its all in the wording...
