Alumni Event?  There will be an official UNT tailgate...you get free admission if you purchase your HOD Bowl tickets through the UNT ticket office.  Am sure the Alumni Assoc. Is participating in the official tailgate.  If you recall the last HOD Bowl tailgate it was in the Automobile Bldg at Fair Park...inside and warm...good breakfast tacos from Rudy's I believe...UNT band, cheer squad, Scrappy, etc. Tons of attendees and lots of fun.

That was pretty cool as I remember...

We're not allowed to tailgate because of the UNT one? That makes sense. I don't do official sponsored tailgates for college, pro or anything.

I swear, you're just contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Hopefully we have 30K folks at the game. I don't think UNT is sweating 100 folks stopping at ours for a bit before heading over to the official one, or vice-versa.

Start your at 7am, we can lube up there and go inside at 9am.....problem solved...  Oh, and breakfast tacos, you need breakfast tacos....

Lube up there and go inside?

Sounds dirty, we need saxophone music in the background. Anybody on here the next Kenny G?

Contrarian?  No, just trying to ask a question.  Don't get your tail feathers in a fluster.  You knew there was an official tailgate before you started to set this up.  Just wondering why you want to split the fan base.  That's all...more power to you.

You didn't expect a question or two when you announced a competing event? Really?  All good, bro, remember...be civil. ??

A) It's not a competing event.

B) I'm not trying to split the fanbase.

You also clearly said that it's only for people who buy through UNT (the Mean Green tailgate).

This is a completely different and complimentary event to the UNT tailgate. Just a bunch of fans and friends having beers and celebrating the bowl. 

Everyone knows you're trying to troll, and I'm done arguing with you over this.

And it's not like you have caught some flak for having an event that competed with another UNT event so fair play to give a little ribbing this time, IMO.

No...I said it was free for those purchasing tickets through the UNT ticket office.  I have no clue what will be the entry fee, if any, for those not purchasing through the UNT ticket office.  That has not been announced as yet.  I do know that the event will run from 8:30am to 10:30 am the morning of the game.

Other details are still being worked out through the Alumni Association and Athletic Dept.  Details soon I hope.

Now, it's trolling?  Really, Ryan? Sorry, man, it's all good.  You are probably earning some bonus "atta boy"points from your employer, so good for you.  Hope it is a big success because of all the Mean Green fans attending the game.  It's all good.  Just calm down and enjoy the Mean Green win.  Drive safely that morning.  Hope nothing delays your arrival. ?

Feels like each of these would draw two distinctly different crowds with different priorities in their mornings. Most of our official school events end up like this while this has potential to maybe end up like this. Plenty of room for both and nice to have something for everyone!

Thanks for the memories, but I will not take it quite so far as one gentleman did for that one. And, yep...very similar to going to a bowl game...about the same attendance expectations! ??

Indeed room for both.  Just show up for the game I guess is the best.

Indeed! I'm planning on stopping at both for some of those sweet sweet breakfast tacos.

Just asking.

Ours is just like two tents with beer. It's nothing fancy, just peeps hanging out and drinking. I don't know if there is food. We're mostly just hanging out, I mean there's no tables or chairs or entrance or anything...like I said super casual. Just with lots of beer. But yeah kids are welcome! I'll try to bring some Root Beer.

Ryan...you must read more carefully.  I said the one at the last HOD Bowl official tailgate had breakfast tacos.  I have no clue what will be served this time as details are not out as yet.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for breakfast tacos again, but no clue as yet.  

But a St. Arnold's at 9:00am at your tent sounds intriguing for sure.  May have to grab one on the way to the game.

The Alumni/Athletic Dept event is definitely Kid friendly.  Expect possible appearances from Scrappy, the Cheer Squad and Mean Green Band if the last HOD tailgate is any indication.  Like I have previously posted...details still being worked out.  Will be announced soon.

Look folks...I am not trying to rain on Ryan's parade.  Go wherever you want to tailgate.  Your choice...either or both...all good.  I just asked the question as I did not want folks to be confused as to the event being thrown in with your ticket purchase set up by the Alumni Assoc/Athletic Dept and Ryan's St Arnold's event.  It's all good...just come to the game.  And, if you have not purchased your ticket/s as yet, please do so through the UNT ticket office as it helps UNT more than buying elsewhere.  Plus, it is not too late to call the ticket office to buy a few $20 student tickets for donation to UNT students.

This is what we did for the SMU game, and it will most likely look the same.mlpkyw.jpg

Nice job! ?

Nobody is going to confuse that for an official UNT tailgate unless they're Dan McCarney and lost their sunglasses.

Yup! That's the point! It's a small tailgate, I was just inviting this board since we're die hards and I know a lot of y'all. Jeez. Stop, grab a beer, hang out for a few and head on over to your next destination!

    1. 7

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

    4. 7

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
