or the GREEN JEANS

Was Michael DeGrate's 88 ft shot against New Orleans the greatest shot in NT Basketball history ? I've seen lots of NT games in the Super Pit and a good many in the old Men's Gym (a gym for old men ?) and I can't even come close to s shot like that. Guard Pat Hicks hit a jumper as time ran out to beat Texas back in the early eightys, but that was more impressive as to who we beat as it was a fine shot. I'm not even sure the three point shot existed back then. So what's your favorite MEAN GREEN bucket ?

me too

Forgive me for not saying so sooner, but I thought the chorus (men only I think) that sang the National Anthem before the last home game was as good and as inspiring as any I've heard at any sporting event ever. No country and western tricked up freestyle stuff, just a dignified Anthem saluting our great country. I hope they can return often.

We're watching the TODAY show this morning when they do a story on the "not ready for prime time" male dance team that performs at the Chicago Bulls games. They're called The Matadores. My wife says, "that would be fun to do at the NT basketball games." They had about a dozen crazy guys wearing 'Bulls attire doing a dance routine to music. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of the NT Dancers, but perhaps this would be another gimmick at the BB games that might bring in more fans. I hate to ask this, but, well, what do you think ?

Some of those games WERE loose

Thanks Zeke. We beat a very good LA-LA team tonight. And we did it with a tremendous second half. Good turnout from the Cheerleaders too. I've seen as many North Texas Basketball games as anyone, and I have a tip for everyone. Be on time. And NEVER leave early. Go Mean Green.

6 Cheerleaders at the game tonight. I thought they did a good job. I'm sure they contributed to what was an incredible win. Could we do the NORTH-TEXAS cheer in both halves ?

How many in attendance at Denver?

The cheerleaders spell it out loud and clear. Football is king. But we have a huge committment to basketball (ie. the super pit) and the notion that basketball is there to keep football and spring football from bumping into each other is crazy.I can't comment on the situation with the Mean Green donors as I get to the games just before tip off and stay in my seat for halftime. By the way, I've got the answer to basketball halftime--The UNT Dancers abd Frizby-Dogs. Please don't read anything into that. I like pretty girls and dogs that can fly!!

I love that.

last word, I promise... If cheerleading is a volunteer organization, what did they VOLUNTEER to do?

unbelievable comment.

I hope you show us we were wrong about the near-leaders on Thursday night.

How about a "Cheerleader scoreboard" similar to the 3 point scoreboard or the blocked shots, etc. And if we get, say 8 cheerleaders to a game, everyone gets a coupon for a free taco.

and Scrappy?

I'm hoping 10, but I bet less than 4. And I haven't seen Scrappy in so long I forgot what he (she?) looks like.

If they unlock the doors and turn on the lights I'll be there. Maybe even to the tailgate.

yeah-I remember the Southland Conference tournament. I thought one of the McNeese coaches was going to come into the stands and kill me. I too had heard we would host the '05 'Belt tournament. Good fun. Just Win Baby

Ya know, one of the hardest things about any job, paid or voluntary, is showing up. If the cheerleaders and Scrapy can't show up at the games, perhaps they misjudged the time committment for being a cheerleader/mascot. Here's a test. If you can't make home games because of work, study, illness, or whatever, you don't have what it takes to be a cheerleader / mascot (note: everyone seemed to be able to go to New Orleans) . No hard feelings, but allow someone who DOES have the time to cheer, to wear the uniforms. And as far as I'm concerned, the gymnastic stuff is a distraction. GMG

Glad "LOSTIN SPACE" finally went to a game. We do this a couple of times in many weeks. Quit "talking" about buying season tickets.. But them now. You can prorate the season tickets now. We need your purchase, and your keyster in the seat. This would also get your name on the list to be contacted in the summer for football as well as basketball tickets. Just Win Baby

funny

co-green--It's YOUR job to lead. Hence the name. Spread out around the coliseum and lead. You guys sit there at the end of the floor and visit with each other. If the job's too hard, take off your uniform, and buy a ticket.
