OK, I know this isn't technically "Football", but the Cheer and Dance Teams both support football in a big way at UNT, so why not the football forum????

For this year's event, we have decided to try KICKBALL as a replacement for our basketball game.  Why you ask?  Well, basketball seemed to have started to "run its course", and frankly a few folks stopped participating and a few folks started to turn our friendly game into something akin to "hack attack".  Plus, it was the general consensus that we needed to find a fun event that could broaden our base of participants...KICKBALL is it.

WE are looking at a mid-April date (April 13th comes to mind but has not been approved as yet) as the softball team is out of town and the UNT Softball complex might...might...be available to us on the 13th. Much to be "approved" in that regard, but wanted to get the conversation started about this year's event...

This will be our 9th year, and our second including the UNT Dancers, and we hope it will be our best ever!  So, as usual, we need your help in making it a success for some hard-working student-athletes., WE need:

1) Players (min age 13 and open to male and female players of course),

2) Silent Auction Donations,

3) Sponsors - This year we have available Gold sponsorships at the $500 level - 2 available, Silver Sponsorships at the $300 level - 6 available and Bronze Sponsorships at the $100 level - 12 available.'

4) Helpers for set-up, game-day management, clean-up, etc. and

5) Umpires - 3 would be great.

 

So, think about your schedule for mid-April (fingers crossed) and what you might be willing to do in support of the UNT Cheer and Dance teams.  I really do think this year's event could be our best and most fun event ever.  

 

OK, there is your head's up.  More to come as the planning develops.

Thanks THOR...I just knew you would be the first to "sign-up" to play.  Hey, kickball should be quite compatible with "beverages"...just sayin'.  Ha!

I should be able to do this. 

Golf would be a good future event to do, and yes, I'd be willing to tag team the set up of such an event. 

Ever done a golf tournament before?  I have...tons and tons of work to do it correctly, and it is why I did not create this event as a golf tournament nine years ago when we started these events, but I am up for this if you want to be the main thrust in running it...no problem doing two events.  The more the merrier.  If you want to meet to discuss the idea further, just let me know.

OK, folks, forgot this small item...player registration fee remains at $35.00 per player and does include, as always, the player t-shirt.  So, if you want to play...we hope you do...let me have your t-shirt size along with your commitment.  

Player Registration Fee: $35.00 (includes player t-shirt)

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.

      Agree, I would like to see some of these guys get some meaningful minutes just to see what they have. It's hard since we don't see them in practice every day like Hodge does.
