Anybody attending the AAC Reception this evening?

[kj86]

I'm in.

[DeepGreen]

Wish I could but I’m 6 hours from Denton.  Forgive me Eppy.

[NorthTexasSportsNetwork]

I will 

[drex]

Yes, definitely be there.

[greenjoe]

Eppy ?

[southsideguy]

I am passing on the event tonight.  

[3XNTGRAD]

Planning to go.

[bstnsportsfan3]

I’ll be there

[Primo]

hells yeah.. look for my mask!

[Moobs]

But will Seth be there?  I mean, he’s not going to be a head coach in the AAC anytime soon… we hope. 

[greengal]

Here is more info on the event they sent me

This is a pretty cool soirée.   A lot of excited folks in this room.  
 

Oh, and free beer 🍺

I live too far way... and Wren probably wouldn't want to see me anyway. But, I hope all of you have a great night at the event.

But, I'll be at the game tomorrow wearing a nice new Mean Green AAC t-shirt!

[GreenFlag]

There is no way I was going. If we can’t even make the Big XII cut, why even field a team? 
 

Just kidding, I wish I was there. 

[ColoradoEagle]

Absolutely would've been there, but currently in Jamaica. There in spirit!

[greenjoe]

Perhaps the best event about NT sports I’ve been to.

[Green Lantern]

Good times tonight. Event was really well done. Was the positive shot in the arm we needed for UNT during this rough season.

Wren and President Neal discussed in great detail the behind the scenes of the new conference alignment.  The final push started with the departure of Texas and OU from the big 12.  
 

The commissioner of the AAC stated that if all the schools expressing interest, NT was the only contender that had ALREADY demonstrated a commitment to expanding facilities.

 

 Neal said he met the SMU pres at a Dallas C of C event and they hit it off.  Apparently, ALL the ADs and thereby the university presidents had to agree to offer EACH of the new schools.  
 

Great meeting.  Maybe it’s available online.  J

Same here.

[bstnsportsfan3]

It was great and the free beer helped!

I watched online. It was a little awkward they kept pointing out Seth. I wish he could’ve had more sustained success here because I do like him and his family but “at the end of the day”, it’s not show-friends, it’s show-business.

Seth looked really uneasy as if he was out of place and didn’t really belong here anymore. Almost as if he wasn’t family.

Why was he even there?? He’s not going to coach in the AAC. At least not as coach of UNT. That was funny about him not being family lol.
