Note that this is a free event and as a result there are no funds related to this event that support the athletic department, neither directly nor indirectly.

We will probably be there again.

Thank you for all your work coordinating these events. I have enjoyed the few that I have been able to attend. But at this point there is nothing to watch. I have voiced my concerns to the athletic department and the administration. With the current leadership, I highly doubt any coach, whether it be mens/womens basketball or football, will be successful at UNT. If you count slightly below .500 as success, that might be in reach with really talented coaches. Right now I would rather be completing weekend "honey-do" tasks than watching the debacle that is UNT football right now. And I won't be back until there is hope and with the current AD there is none. Sorry for the negativity but I am only acknowledging the truth of the situation at UNT. Please forward this e-mail up the chain in the Alumni Association. I want to stress again that I highly appreciate your effort and enjoy the rest of the season. Go Mean Green.

Mike,

Thanks for your your comments and perspective both here and in your email. I forwarded them to my contacts with the alumni association without any of my own commentary.

I enjoy putting these events together, mostly because I enjoy attending and there wasn't anyone else putting anything like this together in my area for UNT. I started doing it after someone invited me to go with them to a UK basketball watching party in Plano sponsored by Kentucky's alumni association. It was a good time and had me wishing UNT did something similar.

If if these events were just about watching the games, I'd expect zero people to attend most. It's a lot easier to watch the game from the comforts of your couch, assuming you get the game. It's more about combining the game watching with spending time with fellow alums and fans that have similar thoughts, passions, and concerns. It's kind of like what we do here on gomeangreen.com, but in person. For those of us that are alums, we will always be alums and have that in common. For those that work for the athletic department, it's a job and once they are gone, it's just a part of their history. That said, we'll miss you Saturday.

Go Mean Green and thanks again.

Thanks for posting. I might stop by and check it out.

I can't make it (Montana is a bit of a drive) but kudos to you for continually putting these on. Not easy in the current climate.

GMG!

Thanks for putting these on. It's fun to watch the game with fellow fans...even when the results aren't what any of us want. Also the beer is really cold at Fuzzy's, so that's good too...

bstnsportsfan3 · October 23, 2015

Unfortunately i have to work, but if anyone is on the fence, you should attend. Todd does a great job with these watch parties and its always fun to be around fellow mean greeners....even if we are all yelling at the TV's lol

I've only been to a few watching parties in my life, but they're always a good time, even when UNT is...well...UNT. When things start to go south in the game, the focus generally turns more toward socializing. Now, in those rare instances where UNT wins a road game? Holy hell, man, now THOSE are watching parties!

ntsumgspe · October 23, 2015

Count me IN!!! Always enjoy these events regardless of the outcome on the field. I really appreciate all the work Todd puts in for the MEAN GREEN Nation!!!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!

I wouldn't know. I've never attended a watch party and had UNT win. I'll take your word for it though.
