my dad is 1st gen American. My Grandfather and his 2 cousins and an uncle were the only ones to make it out. By the time he crossed Europe and the ocean and then sent for the rest of the family, The Question was answered and all were gone. Very hard to watch but also very important.

When all this is over I'm raising money for a banner asking why the hell Harry has yet to win the Ulys Knight Spirit Award?

Talk about travesties. 

 

 

 

Completely Agree!

He's been running this board (and earlier variations) for over 15 years, maintenance, server costs. Good years and bad years. When the board crashes at 3am, the fans freak out a bit, but go back to bed. Meanwhile Harry is up working with the hosting company trying to figure things out. Always in a tough position because fans are claiming you are too soft on the Athletic Department, while catching grief from the Athletic Department for running a forum that negatively effects the program. Its a no win situation, but yet in some of the previous years they pull someone that has done very little for the "Spirit" of the program.

How many people on this board have gotten more passionate, connected to the program more, and met others that feel the same because of gomeangreen.com?

I really do believe it is because Harry and I (and Scotty for a short time) ran the Mean Green Report and charged people for it.  The money we raised didn't even fully cover our costs, but it left a bad taste in some people's mouths.

I think it is well past time for Harry to get the award.  I did a count a few days ago and there are 7 awards winners on this board, Harry not being one of them is crazy. 

 

Now listen, I think I know a way to address this, have you guys ever heard of those planes that pull banners behind them...

Agreed on Ararat. Brilliant on so many levels. Personal for me as well.

I recommended Ararat to someone just last week. I am amazed at how few people have seen it. But then again many are clueless about the subject matter of the film. Perhaps we should all come up with a list of hidden gem films, broken down by genre, that we can watch on Saturdays in the fall. Then we could avoid the un-watchable football our university produces. It won't make it go away, but maybe we will discover some films worth watching.

We are a RTVF school!

Just a thought.

This. I doubt my involvement and donation level would be what it is now if not for this board (although I highly doubt that helps Harry win any Spirit awards). 

None of my college friends care about UNT, much less UNT athletics. They watch other college teams. There was no one to discuss anything UNT with until I found this board. 

It does great things for UNT athletics, even though UNT athletics would probably shut it down if they had the ability. 

Maybe we should start the GMG spirit award?

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Going back to 1913, only Fouts,Mitchell, and Fry had winning records.

      I condone and understand the mistaken omission. It was the most misleading victory in Mean Green history. I was there for that game in club seat because the weather was horrible. A pass happy UTSA came to Denton with a cold windy miserable wet day that made it impossible to throw the ball. Maybe they win the game if the weather was not so bad. But the fact they let that game be an excuse to keep Littrell another season was infuriating! 🤬. A decision like that had nothing to do with winning football because they followed that up with another double digit loss in the closet thing to a home Bowl Game in Frisco losing by double digits to a juggernaut 6-6 Miami OH. I said this at the time as well. And it was a confirmed bad decision when Seth couldn’t find a better QB than Austin Aune or get his completion percentage above 60% for more than 2 games in a row. This department is comfortable with mediocrity and programs new to the FBS level like UTSA our asses routinely. Long as we can beat teams having historically bad seasons for their program and FCS teams we are good. I am sure many of the few loyal fans were annoyed that there were enough fans that partied outside the stadium for homecoming to make the game a sellout. But after 20 years of the bullshit, I can’t be disappointed in them anymore.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      It feels like this season is over. If we somehow manage to get that elusive 6th win, can we file a lawsuit to help a 3-win MAC team get into a bowl game so that it will at least be competitive? Also, can we go back to the era when we didn't have any rivals? Any annual "rivalries" just end up fizzling because we're so terrible in those games that the series quickly become non-competitive and unexciting. We never really take any successful steps to improve the program while others refuse to remain complacent.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Records of teams that we have beat. The only team with a winning record is SFA and they just lost to Texas A&M Commerce. We have a terrible defense and and offense that is explosive against bad teams. If the defense gets a stop, then the offense crumbles the next drive. South Alabama (4-5) SFA (6-4) Wyoming (2-8) Tulsa (3-7) Florida Atlantic (2-7) This team sucks, the program is heading in the wrong direction. I have wasted 17 years following this program. Not sure how you old timers have done this for so long.
