Well that is because basically we are poor (relatively to other schools like Baylor - I know, this is shocking news.). But not so poor that we wouldn't be willing to pony up a little more for the following: -an entertaining product on the field. (don't have it yet) -an engaging and fiery coach (nope) -good promotions (we are getting there, but entirely too slowly) -opponents at home we have heard of, they don't even have to be good teams (see baylor, SMU, La Tech as examples - getting better in this respect) -an AD that communicates regularly about progress of the program (a bit shaky here at times) So all in all I think we are on the cusp of this and I'm sure people will jump on the fact that I said I wasn't going to join the MGC this year at any level. There are some reasons for that: 1.) I already spend close to 180 dollars on the family fun pack with my 3 kids 2.) Did I mention I have three kids? 3.) I have a BIG problem with the way DD bad mouths NT. I know he's a good person and I've met him and chatted with him a couple times. Still he has no excuse to bad mouth NT. 4.) As some have already mentioned, I feel the extra communication that members of the MGC should be granted isn't happening, mabye I have a wrong impression here, but I think they should be entitled to a little more information (duh - how about at least a monthly newsletter exclusive to MGC members?) Anyway, fire away. Buy until 1,2,3 and 4 are resolved I don't see myself pinching my wallet for an extra $150 for MGC membership. Call me a traitor if you will.
