HOD style transportation is fine by me.

 

That's what you meant, right?

It'll take quite a while to get to SMU via train, especially if traveling from Denton.  You have to take the A-train down to the green line, then down to downtown Dallas to the Orange line that takes you up to SMU.  Your one shot on the return trip if you want to make it all the way back to Denton is to catch the Orange line from Mockingbird at 9:57.  Miss that, Uber's gonna be a friend of yours.

Orange, Blue, and Red all stop at Mockingbird Station.

We have 3 buses that are leaving from East Side/Oak St Drafthouse.  Mostly full already from the alumni packages that we sold, but we could look into adding another if there was enough interest.      Cost would be in the $20 range per head.  Please let me know.  #GMG

That sounds great! What time will the buses be leaving for SMU and when will they return?

Can we get some sort of pronouncement from the Alumni association/MGC on this matter?

Sure.  The Alumni Association is not contemplating sponsoring a bus.  SMU is way to close to Denton for that and there is already an alternative...the train and/or the busses that John Williams has set up from East Side I believe.  Several of us are already banding together to ride the train.  It really is no hassle if you plan your time properly, and we hope to fill a car or two or three with Mean Green Green.  But, we are not starting in Denton.  We will board in Carrollton.  Come join us on the train. No, this is not an organized ride....come board when we do, buy your own ticket and just enjoy the trip on the way to beating SMU on their home turf.  The ride back will be super fun after that Mean Green win.

Guys, just have your rich CEO father charter a helicopter... oh wait, wrong board sorry... :(

You know what's really funny?  I would hazard a guess that there are way more millionaire + fathers who graduated from UNT than from SMU.  Just by sheer numbers of grads alone if for no other reason.  

But, I do give you props for a great post.  Got to keep that stereotype going.  Makes for great rivals.

Oh, I get that...I think we all enjoy your visits here.  Just making a point in trying to burst that old bogus stereotype if the rich SMU crowd.  I hired lots of SMU grads...well, relatively speaking "lots" as the total really isn't that great, and none were from what I would consider "rich families".  Just hard working middle class folks who usually worked as hard as anyone else and were a credit to their university and families, just like the UNT grads I hired.  I will admit to giving UNT (and Okie State) grads preferential hiring treatment however...not officially you understand, right?

you are alright in my book. I also understand why you hang here. I went to y'all's board last year to be a good opponent fan and offer some advice on logistics for the game in Denton. I was really surprised by the lack of activity over there. Seemed like the same 4 people posting all the time (as opposed to the same 35 or 40 here). The lack of activity was surprising. 

 

Cougar Queen is here strictly to seek attention, like so many a Facebook poster. I just ignore him for the most part.

 

You I kinda like.

John...this is fantastic!  What you guys do to support UNT and the Denton Community as a whole is above and beyond what anyone could expect.  You guys are setting the bar extremely high for other civic minded folks and businesses in Denton.  Thanks to all the Oak Street, East Side and Silo on 7th folks for all you do.  You are making the communities in which you live and work better places for a lot if people.  Well done...well done.  Cannot thank you enough.

      Now 48-18. Honestly, this is about as frustrating as it can be for those of us that think the league deserves more respect. I get worried that the data/committee hangs their hats on these losses, rather than look at all the mid-P5 wins we accumulate. Then, when selection weekend rolls around and one or two of us Americans are on the bubble, we get knocked out of discussion in favor of some 0.500 P5 squad.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
