More news from last week, game at the Big South regular season champion High Point. Hopefully this is late enough into the nonconference slate for us to be in a rhythm and pick up a quality win on the road.

Sadly true. But what a summer. A beer, a bourbon, the caravans as normal, kickoff at the Hub Club, Nightmare on Elm Street, a volleyball invitational featuring 3 P4 conference opponents at The Super Pit, swim event with the team next week... it's been a pretty productive summer. Add in the TBT (although we didn't make it far) and it doesn't feel like the UNT offseason was that long.

Hamilton Tiger-cats scout in attendance at open practice. I asked what we needed to do to get Mason back on the roster. He said he was surprised he wasn't on a team right now but there were a couple of injuries last week that may allow Mason to receive a call soon. Maybe he was just entertaining me.

Some really cool partnerships and events being put together by the AD this summer. Kudos!

Looks like this event is more timed for the middle school aged bunch who can ride their bikes with their friends to interact with the team. Hopefully their attention spans hold up long enough to ask mom and dad to buy tickets for the UNT games when they get home.

Our athletic department is pushing for this to be our stadium's first sellout, so make sure you bring your share of fans. Hoping y'all continue last year's bad luck on the road, at least for this game. I'm looking forward to making the trip up in a few years for the second game.

McKenzie Wagoner going up to Dodge City, KS and Morgan Medford staying home taking a position with Denton Guyer.

Yes, but overall forum participation is down with other options such as Facebook groups, reddit, and Twitter. I've still always preferred forums.

Looking forward to it!

Well guys, I tried to get us another home game with a D-I opponent. Doesn't appear it's gonna work.

With Atin's catch the other day and now this video with Floyd, I like what the social media team is doing trying to spotlight and introduce the new players. Would like to see this segment continue on with all the newbies and see how Dello's on-camera personality grows, too.

You will be sitting with Mean Green fans in our block as well, in better seats, for $10/seat less. The allotment that is passed along from the opposing home team is always for the worst sections, and while there most likely won't be anyone stopping you from moving over in Mobile, that won't be the case at our other efforts in Lubbock and San Antonio. I understand the viewpoint that our organization may compete with the ticket office for football, since it is the one sport you can buy tickets for road games through the ticket office. And if you choose to do that, no problemo with me, I just want to see a lot of green in Mobile. But I've been told by AD staff that they make crumbs off those away game tickets. And there's no push made by them to get people to buy those tickets. Hell, my sophomore year in 2015 they were bussing people to the SMU game. Last fall, not only were there no buses, but they weren't even telling people to go to the game, they were pushing the ESPN2 broadcast instead. Additionally, my big personal undertaking to recruit people to join has been through LinkedIn, where you can easily filter UNT alumni based on the market they live in. It is much harder to earn commitment to attend by reaching out to a stranger, and then directing them to a link where you have no visibility. Where I may rob the athletic department a few hundred bucks over the course of the three games by getting people to buy through our group instead of the ticket office, maybe I can make it up by enticing some of those strangers (specifically at the UTSA game) to join the alumni association and become more engaged with UNT Athletics again (or for the first time). And while the price difference won't be as dramatic for the South Alabama game ($10), I am also looking at coordinating group outings from afar for the other three games at FAU, Memphis, and Temple - I've already reached out to their ticket offices for pricing. I thought the prices passed along for the FAU and Memphis games, large stadiums that never sell out, were especially alarming - $45!! Through group pricing it'd be less than half of that! If you haven't bought your tickets yet and want to join our party, let me know!

Won't work, no tickets available. The opposing fans have taken up all the inventory.

Game cancelled due to hurricane?

Couldn't find his stats (I guess he's only entering his sophomore year?) but that is an awesome name. Assuming the last is pronounced like "CRAY"?

I will identify myself. I down voted @Big Z. I think I may be more tired of the early doomsday complaints than NIL.

He has the beard to do so.

If I'm compiling all of his stats correctly, he's got career statistics of 11-17 for 175 yards and 2 TDs. Couldn't confirm if any of the six incompletions were interceptions.

I agree with other posters, if losing kids to NIL is all that's on your mind, keep it to yourself or rant on another one of other countless doomsday threads. We had a whole year to lose Cash McCollum and it looks like he'll be suiting up for us.

Reminder if you don't have Labor Day Weekend plans, join us in Mobile. Group sales start this Thursday for $13/ticket and right now I've got the commitments to buy about 30-40 tickets this week. FB event page: https://fb.me/e/20vtYbKkf

Which was a 12-win improvement, to add. This news makes me believe that we have accepted Evansville to be our best OOC home opponent and adjusted accordingly. Atin Wright, who transferred from Drake, went 3-0 against Evansville last year.

Kinda sucks that we had to play a team challenging ALS in Round 2. I didn't watch the game, but if the refs truly were awful, I wouldn't be surprised. They're a more feel-good story than us.

Two NFL teams, and three UFL teams in this state, it's kind of depressing how few Mean Green alum are given local chances.
