Thanks for noticing that we are not sheeple.

Individualism and nonconformity. Good in your life. 

Not so much when it comes to supporting your team. 

"Screw you team! I'm no sheep! I do my own thing!"

I had it wrong.  All those Penn St fans last week weren't supporting their team. They were just weak minded fools. Or Louisville  I think they've done a blackout. Again  their fan base are just mindless followers. I mean how weak!

This really explains SO MUCH  

I mean it's perfect

If the team's gonna have a "pink out" you should show up wearing pink looking fabulous. 

It's not about you. It's about the team. No one cares what you think. Or what I think. It's what WE think. Should be pretty simple to figure out what WE think about what to wear to the game Saturday....the AD put it in a tweet for all to see. Can't we get behind that?

Seems the color of a shirt should be easy for the fan base to get on the same page. We can't even do that. It's about having a good, game day stadium environment for a home field advantage.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!   Precisely, the team asks for a blackout from the fans....    We wear black uniforms.....   We should wear black stuff!  As Moobs said, great opprotunity to get new gear!

Ohio State does it...

http://www.cleveland.com/osu/2017/10/ohio_state_calls_on_fans_to_we.html

 

Happening elsewhere in the Big 10 as well....

https://www.onthebanks.com/2017/10/25/16550548/maryland-at-rutgers-wrestling-football-doubleheader-declared-a-blackout-big-ten

 

According to the NYT happened at the Georgia v Alabama Game and the White Sox got in on it too... and not to mention... "Colorado (against West Virginia), Vanderbilt (against South Carolina) and Purdue (against Penn State on Saturday) are among other high-profile programs that have promoted blackouts this year."

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/sports/ncaafootball/05blackout.html

 

I could keep going but I think you get the point.     I think we get behind our team and if they want us to wear black, gat dang it...   we wear black!

Just an FYI, those teams all have black as a primary color (besides Georgia).

Hey man...do your thing

Small time programs thrive on fans that are too cool for stuff like this. 

Why should our small time program be any different

I appreciate your permission. I don’t think I am what is holding the program back but I’ll defer to your expert opinion.

Y'all,
It's going to be freaking cold for this game.   You're not going to be wearing anything short-sleeved.

I don't have any black Mean Green gear, and I probably wouldn't wear it if I did, so I'm not going to go buy some just for this game...   But I do have a black coat and a black fleece.   I'll be wearing one of those.

I hope some of you have one of the following:
Black hoodie sweater, black fleece sweater, black jacket, black coat, etc... because it's going to be cold.  If it has a SOW/"Mean Green"/"North Texas" on it, even better!  If not, that's fine, just wear something black if that's what the football team wants us to wear.

Don't we already do a green out (or at least we try) for every home game?  It's a special occasion game around Halloween.  The team's going to be in black and wants the fans...the one's that show up anyway....to join them.  It's not like they are asking you to wear SMU gear or something.  SMH.

🌞 Weather folks still predicting 60 degrees this Saturday in Denton so with a 5:30 pm kickoff in the sunlight won't it be close to 60 degrees?

I can't fathom a 30 degree drop in temperature in the next 3-4 hours after the kickoff but.... it is Texas.  

GMG!

I'll be in the shade, and once the sun goes down (which will be around the end of the 1st quarter), it's going to get cold quickly.

Of course, my tolerance for cold is very low.   Some people LOVE the cold.   I hate temps below 50.

I'm not sure what your definition of "freaking cold" is, but 60 degrees at game time is not cold.  It may be "chilly" when the game is over, but I bet it isn't below 50.  Then again, it all depends on the wind.

I would love to see an advertised "green out," but I would also really like to see a "white out" like PSU just had this past weekend.  We need to do that early in the year when it is hot and make our opponent wear dark colors and stand in the sun.

Cold enough to be in pants/long sleeves.    Which removes the normal green short-sleeved t-shirts/polos I (and I assume most others) would wear if it were warmer.

Can we have a roving weather reporter in Apogee at kickoff giving us a ( every 15 minutes) weather' cast on how frigid each quadrant of the stadium is becoming?  Many of us would be interested to know.🤔😳🙄

GMG!

Eh the high will be 60, but the low is 35. It'll be a tad breezy. Gonna get to the 40s quick. 

Y'all can't share my blanket.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
