Just a reminder that we will hold our Cheer Scholarship game LIVE DRAFT event SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6th beginning at NOON at EAST SIDE DENTON.  East Side is one of our title sponsors along with its sister establishment Oak Street Draft House, so I hope we can have a nice turnout in support of both the player draft and the sponsors.  We will first flip a coin to see which team coach gets fist pick in this year's draft, then away we will go.  I will be moderating the draft and both coaches, Harry and Andrew have indicated that they will attend. If either coach is unable to attend, I will draft for that team.

I will have thirty (30) tickets available for the 3pm men's  basketball game against LA Tech to give away to those attending the draft event on a first come first served basis.  So, come have some fun kibitzing the coaches and trash talking other team members as we select our teams for this 76th annual event.  Buy a beer or two in support of our sponsors as well.  If you have not been to East Side, this is a great opportunity to check this place out while having some fun with fellow members of the great Mean Green Nation.

 

REMEMBER...the deadline to sign up to play in the game is FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5th.  At this time the following have signed up to play:

THOR, Andrew, Rob McKinney, GMG24, smoothfresh, UNTFan23, UNT90, unttau, Vince, Harry, Paul, curtisdda, Ben Gooding, greendylan, That_Guy_Arlo, Emmitt01, unt88, meangreencoach2, Jay Varner, Brian Baumgarner, David Ray and Trent Endres.

That is 22 players...eleven per team...so, we definitely have room for more players.  As is usually the case, something comes up at the last minute to keep some who wanted to play from doing so.  So, if you are interested...just let me know.  Registration fee is $30.00.  You can pay the fee through our GoFundMe site at http://gofundme.com/9parj2nk, or you can pay during the live draft event or on game day....CASH or CHECK payable to UNT Athletics, with Cheer Scholarship on the memo line...please and thank you.

Also...we have some great items already for the silent auction such as Texas Ranger Tickets, Jay Novacek autographed football, Rudy's Gift cards, Disney gift cards, Scrappy golf driver headcover, Abner Haynes autographed GMG.Com Bowl t-shirt, Protected by Mean Green yard signs, Classic Hayden Fry era North Texas State University Christmas ornaments with the Flying Worm, North Texas battle flag, UNT #23 basketball jersey, UNT caps, and lots of surprise items yet to come.  So, even if you are not playing...come to the game on Feb. 27th at the UNT Volleyball gym (1 pm tip-off) and enjoy the fun, buy a concession item or two or three and bid on some great silent auction items.

Hope to see you first at the live draft party on the 6th at East Side at noon....the draft party is open to ALL...players, families, friends, kibitzers, trash talkers...come have some fun.  If you can't make the game on the 23rd, this is your chance to be part of this event and to show your support for the UNT Cheer team members.  We will even accept any donations that anyone would like to make and collect any silent auction items folks would like to donate.  See you there...it's going to be fun!

I am out this year due to injury. Really wish I could play, but it just isn't going to happen this year.

Come on. I played with a torn tendon and high ankle sprain last year.

Well...sorry to hear that.  Why not come on and participate in another way...can always use volunteers....you would enjoy the live draft event as well...beer involved you know.  I hope we see you at one or both of the events....you could still try the half court shot thing!  Could still use your support if you are able.

BUMP...time is drawing closer for the live draft Saturday at East Side at Noon.  I do have the 30 tickets to the men's game that tips off at 3pm after our draft. I will be giving the tickets away on a first come first served basis at the live draft.  So, come by and watch the draft, grab a great brew or two and then head over to watch the Mean Green take on Louisiana Tech at 3PM in the Super Pit!

REMEMBER:  Final sign-up deadline to play in this year's game is FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5th.

Why doesn't green p1 play? 

I do wish he would give it a shot.  He is a great guy, and probably has a bit if game in him.  But, like forevereagle said...he probably just doesn't want to.  No problem, not everyone enjoys such things.  No foul there.

UPDATE: I have just been informed that there is a decent possibility that we will have a couple of uniformed UNT Cheer team members with us for our live draft this Saturday.  That's really extra effort for them as they have a game at 3pm that same afternoon.  Hopefully, we will have a nice turnout  in support of our sponsors, East Side and Oak Street, and to show the Cheer Team members that we support what they do as well.  No promises on  the Cheer members being able to make it, but they are trying to arrange some schedules to make it work.

Remember, you don't have to be playing in the game on the 27th to attend this event.  The more who attend the more fun it will be.   Come on to East Side Saturday at noon and enjoy some draft day fun.  Also, remember, I will have 30 or so tickets to give away to those attending ...on a first come first served basis...to the 3pm men's basketball game against La Tech.

Sure...did a press conference too...how did you miss it?  

There is a list of players in this thread I believe.  I will have a sheet at the draft for you.  Remember UNT90 is on IR and won't be playing.

But if you draft him now he will be one your team next year and you don't have to pay him right? 

Haha I have high hopes. MeanGreen coach did CFL with me and he knows about the super cool draft parties they had. I want to have trade rights and players locked up on yearly contracts ;)

Do you need a thread with measurables for the players, especially for those not attending the draft?  

 

And new guy @CornWallace, may play...will decide before friday...but he is a short dude with glasses...

      Caponi fired

      Same here. I am tired of trying to convince my group to re-enlist their time and money to football at UNT. On the other hand I have no issues getting excited for basketball. We have a basketball program that is deserving of our support!

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      We have only had 4 coaches [I missed Jack Sisco] since 1913 out of a total of 18 who exited North Texas with winning records, Hayden Fry being the last in 1978. Goals and objectives must be realistic and obtainable with a little pie in the sky. Quite honestly I have no idea what we our standard should be, only what it has become . However, expect more are you will get less ,which seems to be the norm for our football program.

      Caponi fired

      I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

      Caponi fired

      I certainly am not making excuses for the termination of Caponi and agree that it was overdue. However I am surprised that our AD and not HC was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger. I owned a medical device sales agency for 30 years and can testify that no one like firing an employee. In fact those who do , unless its a really egregious act, usually wait longer than the should because the real mistake was made by you in hiring them in the first place. Having said that I have never terminated an employ that didn't expect it and in most cases were relieved that the ax finally dropped.
