I went to the children's day parade this morning and the Grambling State band killed it. I would love to see the Green Brigade participate in this parade every year. I saw the UTSA band in the fiesta parade a few years back and they got the crowd roaring.

Now last year we chatted about a Gomeangreen float or representation in the March parade. It makes so much sense. Let's make it a communal build event get something registered and then haul as many talons onto Greenville in a few short months.

We had this thread last year and here were the problems;

1. We the GMG message board dorks can't make the school do anything, so it's an unofficial event.

2. The cost to enter a float was close to $1000

3. We the GMB message board dorks don't actually do anything other than bitch.

My offer still stand to pitch in $100 and help build a float.

I personally have always thought this parade would be a no brainer. I'd love to work on a float and would contribute to its entry fee. Anyone ever approached the band about participating? The whole pep band was willing to come to NorthPark for an event a few years ago and all they wanted for appearing was pizza. Let's make this happen!

You are not kidding about what people on this board do well.

In for $100 but travel every week so I can assist monetarily but the footwork will be difficult for me.

My take on this is that you have to begin planning this stuff now and WE can control this. Last year's suggested plan came really close to the deadline for entry. We have time here to make it happen and if it is a GOMEANGREEN float then we don't need to jump through hoops with the the Athletic Department, I wouldn't think. Kind of like the "offsite" bonfire at TAMU.

We can't control the AD but we sure as heck can create energy and enthusiasm for our beloved program in MANY other visible ways.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      I agree with you that the PAC would only be attractive if other AAC schools were following suit. I just don’t think they will. We have a pretty solid conference now. Of course Memphis, Tulane, and USF will all be wanting to move up to ACC etc when and if that opportunity arises. But for now we are in a competitive conference and we should try to build and win it.

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Thank you for this insightful recap Billy.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.
