Honestly, people may like a bigger name school like UCLA or FSU in the Independence Bowl, but I think K-State or Tech would do a lot more for the program.. 

Beating a K-State/Tech May not seem sexy, but they are a regional “power” program and one that has a large presence in Texas in history and recruiting..

Kansas State would be a very large turnout and they didn’t play in Fort Worth this year so they would love a trip back into the Meteoplex for recruiting.

It could be a storybook chapter to the end of an amazing season and beginning of something big and Green.  It would star familiar roles only this time it would be #NewDenton taking off for a long run of success!

Playing in DFW (a top 5 media market) against a Big 12 team would give us more exposure in terms of recruiting where we really need it.  I would prefer K-state, but would also settle for Tech.

I would absolutely love this. I'd probably have family in town for it, and the Cotton Bowl would be rocking. We'd bring 40k fans, and KSU would bring a ton, too.

KSU is a little bit hard to figure out this year. They can play some great football at times, and they can struggle at times, so I don't know how the game would go, but I want to see it happen anyway.

Wow, it's amazing how fast we got over the contempt of familiarity we had for the HOD.  But hey, I'm in.  If barely losing to them at the old Fouts can bring back fond memories, the potential for winning against them at the old Cotton Bowl brings fonder anticipation.

This would be awesome.  And I think if we are Conference champions the 40k UNT  showing up might be a conservative estimate.  And if that ends up being the case UNT might be a preferred option to a historically mediocre P5 team coming to HoD in our place.  An 85% full Cotton Bowl with more than 50% of the fans there in Green on national TV would be huge.

As I posted a few days ago, this is the dream scenario. A Big XII marquee team with a legend as its coach, here in DFW, in a bowl game. IF we were to play this even close, it would be a huge help. If we actually won, it could be the jet fuel to the fire we need to get the program the interest it so desperately needs. 

I'll say this, if we can't propel season tickets and more MGC contributions from the scenario above, ESPECIALLY with SMU on the home schedule for next year, it would defy almost every amount of logic one could have about our fans supporting the program.

      The Band

      1. Anyone. There is a tryout. 2. No. It is provided by the school. The summer uniform/clothes under the uniform are paid for by the students. 3. Both. Most play on their own instrument. Marching instruments such as the sousaphones, marching baritones, mellophones and drumline are provided by the school. 4. Both. To my understanding. 5. 1 credit 😡 6. Most GB members make up the pep groups but that’s not always the case. *This might be outdated info. Sorry if anyone has other intel.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.
