I assume this is just for the use of the trucks and they will fill each trailer before moving to the next and not just filling the trailer of your favorite school?

Hi MGM family. Please donate whatever you can to equipment(s) trucks coming to H-Town and surrounding areas. It will greatly be appreciated to all the folks here in Houston and surrounding areas who have lost everything they own. There are Tens of Thousands of folks plus who have lost everything they own. Most if not all that are in this situation are thankful they survived with there lives. Unfortunately some didn't. Death toll will certainly rise, but it's a miracle that more people in the entire S. Texas area didn't. 

The citizens of S. Texas, State, and Federal Gov. are doing a terrific job provided rescue, relief, and providing for those that lost everything they own!!! For the citizens of S. Texas, and Louisiana the relief effort is so much better than Katrina!!! Thank God. If you made it through without flooding in this area you're thankful, and praising God you survived without harm. 

It's much better here today. The sun is out, but many people are still underwater. Many of these folks have elected to stay in there flooding houses so looters don't take what they still have. In areas there are thieves actively trying to do harm in this manner, as unbelievable as that is during the flooding here in S. Texas and Louisiana.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and support, financially, or donating items to relief effort!!

I can't think of anything more disgusting that a person that would steal the very few things a flood victim has left.  While some people are called to help in a crisis, others feel called to be thieves.

Dear UNT Community,

I hope you are all planning to join me this Saturday for the Mean Green football season opener! I am so proud of the resilience of the Lamar football team and their determination to move on with life and play this weekend's game. We welcome them to our campus as our thoughts continue to be with our students and their families affected by Hurricane Harvey. I hope something as simple as this football game can help the Lamar fans and families as they begin to recover from the storm's devastation. 

This is our chance to honor and show appreciation for our faculty and staff and the hard work you do supporting and instructing our students. If you haven't claimed your game tickets yet, there is still time to do so. Call the Athletics ticket office at 940-565-2527 to get your two free tickets and to purchase additional tickets for $5 each. Read more about the faculty and staff appreciation game and activities.

Thankfully, this game also provides many opportunities to help those who are in need because of Hurricane Harvey.

A Carter Blood Care donation bus will be accepting blood donations from noon to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 2 (Saturday) outside the Murchison Performing Arts Center on North Texas Boulevard. All donors will receive a T-shirt and a voucher for two free tickets to the Oct. 14 Mean Green football game. All donations made at this drive will be used to meet the blood needs of patients in South Texas.

If you park in the Fouts Field cash lot during the game Saturday, our Athletics department will donate your $10 parking fee to storm relief efforts. 

Opportunities to give to the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army will exist throughout Apogee StadiumSaturday. While there are lots of ways that we can give to the rescue and recovery efforts, cash donations are the most helpful. Read about ways you can give.

The Mean Green football equipment truck is taking part in a unified effort with other universities to collect supplies in Austin. Those items will then travel by convoy to Houston for storm survivors.

Also, faculty and staff can contribute to the North Texas Emergency Fund that helps our students facing catastrophic circumstances make necessary purchases or cover required expenses. It was created through donations and UNT support and can be used for textbooks, travel expenses, supplies, personal items and more.

I hope to see you at the game Saturday!

Go Mean Green!

UNT Proud,
Neal Smatresk 
President

As a Houston resident this just warms my heart!  I had tickets to tomorrows game but due to the events of Hurricane Harvey I can't make it.  Emailed Chris Baretta at the ticket office I believe within two minutes he had swapped my tickets to the UTSA game in October.  Kudos to Chris!  It sucks I won't be there tomorrow but will be watching online!  Go Mean Green!

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      I'm gonna say yes...but probably not as much as people (including me) will want. unless something has dramatically changed in the last two weeks in practice, I gotta think the rotation is still the rotation and given that we're coming in off 2 straight loses, my bet is that Hodge will want the rotation guys playing as much together as possible heading into conference play. had we beaten High Point and/or if we had a better schedule that didn't have a two week gap in games, maaaaaaaybe RH would've experimented/tried to build more depth a little more...but given circumstance I'm preparing for little more than freshmen cameos.

      Portal WR Cameron Dorner - Shepherd

      Committed to North Texas. No idea what happened to the X links above. https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/shepherd-transfer-portal-frenzy-d1-commitments-big-offers-and-a-standout-returns-home/article_237da94a-66bd-5bc5-b98f-299985e895f2.html According to this article, he turned down offers from 12 other FBS/FCS schools to come to Denton. It also lists him as a team captain.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      We can complain all we want about Aune but he holds the single season record in TD passes. While QB play wasn't perfect after Fine left, it was a heck of a lot better than right before Fine got here. I completely understand that. This is no different than any HS prospect or even an FBS transfer. Not all QBs can replicate their previous success in a new system. I'd still rather have a guy who was accomplished than somebody who never saw the field. Every transfer is a risk no matter what. Your logic is severely flawed though. Cam Ward was once a big time FCS transfer and was just a Heisman finalist with that Miami team you're trashing. Joe Burrow was once a career backup on an Ohio State team that couldn't win the championship and look what he did. If you want to get even crazier with it all, Stetson Bennett was once a walk-on who then transferred to a junior college before transferring back to Georgia to win a couple National Championships. We can go on forever with this. We got a guy with success at the D1 level. More success than Chandler Rogers had. There's no reason to believe he won't work out here.
