Just a reminder that we will hold our Cheer Scholarship game LIVE DRAFT event SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6th beginning at NOON at EAST SIDE DENTON. East Side is one of our title sponsors along with its sister establishment Oak Street Draft House, so I hope we can have a nice turnout in support of both the player draft and the sponsors. We will first flip a coin to see which team coach gets fist pick in this year's draft, then away we will go. I will be moderating the draft and both coaches, Harry and Andrew have indicated that they will attend. If either coach is unable to attend, I will draft for that team. I will have thirty (30) tickets available for the 3pm men's basketball game against LA Tech to give away to those attending the draft event on a first come first served basis. So, come have some fun kibitzing the coaches and trash talking other team members as we select our teams for this 76th annual event. Buy a beer or two in support of our sponsors as well. If you have not been to East Side, this is a great opportunity to check this place out while having some fun with fellow members of the great Mean Green Nation. REMEMBER...the deadline to sign up to play in the game is FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5th. At this time the following have signed up to play: THOR, Andrew, Rob McKinney, GMG24, smoothfresh, UNTFan23, UNT90, unttau, Vince, Harry, Paul, curtisdda, Ben Gooding, greendylan, That_Guy_Arlo, Emmitt01, unt88, meangreencoach2, Jay Varner, Brian Baumgarner, David Ray and Trent Endres. That is 22 players...eleven per team...so, we definitely have room for more players. As is usually the case, something comes up at the last minute to keep some who wanted to play from doing so. So, if you are interested...just let me know. Registration fee is $30.00. You can pay the fee through our GoFundMe site at http://gofundme.com/9parj2nk, or you can pay during the live draft event or on game day....CASH or CHECK payable to UNT Athletics, with Cheer Scholarship on the memo line...please and thank you. Also...we have some great items already for the silent auction such as Texas Ranger Tickets, Jay Novacek autographed football, Rudy's Gift cards, Disney gift cards, Scrappy golf driver headcover, Abner Haynes autographed GMG.Com Bowl t-shirt, Protected by Mean Green yard signs, Classic Hayden Fry era North Texas State University Christmas ornaments with the Flying Worm, North Texas battle flag, UNT #23 basketball jersey, UNT caps, and lots of surprise items yet to come. So, even if you are not playing...come to the game on Feb. 27th at the UNT Volleyball gym (1 pm tip-off) and enjoy the fun, buy a concession item or two or three and bid on some great silent auction items. Hope to see you first at the live draft party on the 6th at East Side at noon....the draft party is open to ALL...players, families, friends, kibitzers, trash talkers...come have some fun. If you can't make the game on the 23rd, this is your chance to be part of this event and to show your support for the UNT Cheer team members. We will even accept any donations that anyone would like to make and collect any silent auction items folks would like to donate. See you there...it's going to be fun!
