Here I go again taking yet another shot at the Green Brigade.

THIS is how you do a pre-game entrance and get the crowd into the game. LOTS of energy and showmanship.

 

For everyone who watched the Macy's Parade yesterday, you saw their show for a national audience.

The day before they appeared on the Today Show.,

Notice that Matt mentioned that this is the THIRD time they've been in the Macy's parade.

They've also been in the Rose Parade.

Lots of ENERGY, PRIDE, AND SHOWMANSHIP!

AND, their uni's (which I really like) are almost exactly like the North Texas Band of the Maurice McAdow era.....from their hats, their capes, and all the way down to the spats that they wear. 

PLUS they make their big sound with less than 200 members.

Set up an appointment and go visit with Nick Williams if this is such a source of irritation to you...I'm sure he would give you an appointment.

I've already had one conversation after the end of the last Tulsa home game. A dismissive "thank you for your input" was the response. Funny, he didn't ask me to make an appointment so we could discuss any other concerns that I might have. I've also had several e-mail exchanges that resulted in a "thanks for sharing your YouTube links" response. I've also made a contribution to the bands scholarship fund....and will again this year.

I think I've made my concerns very clear. And I 've provided ample visual aids.....including a video of a pre-Williams North Texas Band. 

You haven't been talked down to until you've talked to some prima donna from the school of music.......and you're not fawning all over them. I'm up to the challenge, but there would need to be a referee present.

Time to buy a banner?

I was really hoping this fan base would spring for a marching band banner but... said banner had to end up paying for its own way in Lubbock.

Shush, don’t criticize the band or else they’ll harass you until you pull your article. I mean comment. *cough*NTDAILY*cough*

My suggestion would be to move up north where more people care about marching band.

Halftime is for bathroom breaks, food and beer.

Clearly not aware of the marching band world.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
