Just wondering if anyone on this message board can provide additional details regarding the SMU Tailgate Event that is currently being promoted by the Mean Green Online Ticket Office. The description from the website reads:

$95 Tickets & Tailgate Package, 2 Endzone Tickets, 2 Tailgate Tickets, Spiriki Mean Green Club Membership

$135 Tickets & Tailgate Package, 2 Sideline Tickets, 2 Tailgate Tickets, Spiriki Mean Green Club Membership

I'm trying to find out which sections these tickets are being culled from, and whether or not the Mean Green Club will be hosting the tailgate again this year. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Seems like a pretty good idea.  Looks like it may be targeted to non MGC members in the DFDub.  Hopefully, that will add a couple of thousand unsuspecting alumni.  They should promote free GMG.com membership as well!

The tailgate is being hosted jointly by athletics and the UNT Alumni Association.  I just heard today that final arrangements are still being made.

You may but tickets to both the game and the tailgate apart from the packages listed.  I did just that as I am already a Mean Green Club member.  I believe my tailgate ticket was $25.  There is a pre-sale price and an "at the door price".  The at the door price will be higher.  I recommend you contact the UNT ticket office and purchase your game tickets and tailgate tickets in advance.  Saves you some cash that way.

I remember SMU game tickets being listed in the season ticket package. I can't recall if the tailgate was mentioned as well. Does anyone recall this? I would have paid for both at the time if it was listed like that.

I do not remember this.  Would be nice if it were true.

SMU tickets were included on the season ticket order form.  They were $35 each, I believe.

Hmmm,. I assume this means that there is no room in the SMU tailgating area for individual NT fans to set up their stuff. Keep the riff raff sequestered under their own tent.....to be around their own kind........not surprising...:mellow:

 

addendum: My wife wants to know if the SMU officials are requiring our officials to set up a gucci brand tent.

Only thing I can find is in the single tickets section of meangreensports.com, which sends you to SMU's ticketmaster.  

Eh, I'm not worried.  I'll get it figured out.  After all, I've got dozens of priority points.  Dozens, I say!

I don't have the invoice but in the letter it states I can order SMU tickets in conjunction with my season tickets.SeasonTicketLetter.jpg

I'm probably over reacting.  I'm sure we'll get a very detailed letter, from the UNT Athletic Department,  on SMU Game Ticket Options, Packages and Promotions on Monday, September 14, 2015.

I called the North Texas Ticket Office today, and they confirmed that what Mark said earlier was absolutely correct. You can buy tickets to the game and/or tailgate event directly from them without the need to purchase any special promotional package. These tickets can be bought either together or separately. Current Mean Green Club members will need to pay $20 and $35, for admission to the tailgate and game, respectively. Non-Mean Green Club members will be required to pay an additional $10 for admission to the tailgate event.

That's certainly a better deal than the $95 package on the ticket site.  Thanks for the info.  Did they indicate what the tailgate entails?

I don't know for sure, but I think that food and drink will be provided. At least, I believe that was the case last year in Austin. I honestly don't know for certain.

That $95 package also includes a Mean Green Club membership.  While I'd love to see them promoting it more heavily (e.g. not finding out about it first on GMG) I commend them for trying to push the MGC membership along with the event.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
