just got a call out of the blue for the Christian radio station that will be broadcasting UNT football and basketball here in Houston. If anyone knows of a small biz that might want to help sponsor the telecast...call Rebecca at (936)344-0883. She says Mattress Mac is going to help.

I just got the same call! This is great. OK Houston alumni, Rebecca needs sponors in order to make this a success. Please, if you own a local business give her some advertising dollars. Lets keep the Mean Green on the air in Houston!

Congrats to all of you NT alums and Mean Green fans in the Bayou City for this most important and great news. It is important because this finally gives NT a foot into the door of a market we've needed radio coverage for a long time now. Now so many down on the Gulf Coast will get to hear the Mean Green Radio Network and a 3 hour NT info-mercial each week this Fall.

Because of this new radio coverage, NT will ultimately see an increase in Houston area general student recruiting along with the all-important Houston area blue chip athletes, specifically of the football and basketball variety. smile.gif

Wonder how the Houston Chronicle sports page folks will learn about this new development as to list Mean Green football in their paper's Game Day list of radio broadcasted college football games? Maybe a few well placed telephone calls or emails might help, too? Maybe also a few well placed posts on UH's CoogFans.com, the Rice U message board, Texas Southern U message board, Houston Baptist U message board and maybe even more important--Houston ISD and suburban area HS's message boards? blink.gif

Hopefully, NT's Sports Information's office can send the Houston Chronicle sports page a memo on this huge news so many more Houstonians will know they can turn the dial to KAFR 88.3 FM to listen to Mean Green football and basketball.

Since this radio station also covers the Woodlands HS (largest school by number of acreage in the state of Texas) and 2 other local HS football teams, the Conroe newspaper should also receive an email or phone call as well from local followers of the Mean Green? Why Conroe, Texas? Conroe is where KAFR 88.3 calls home base from other links I've read.

cool.gif Again, congrats to all of you in the greater Houston area. This new Houston/ Mean Green Radio Network (MGRN) connection is just as big as all the construction going on at the new Mean Green Athletic Village at our Eagle Point Campus IMO.

FANTASTIC!! I spend a lot of time down on Lake Conroe and finally get to hear my MeanGreen over the radio. Listening over dialup internet can be a major hassle. No doubt that it will increase our exposure in the Bayou City. I hope that this will help the Houston Chronicle begin to recognize our existence. smile.gif

What channel is the station on?

88.3 KAFR

Again, we really need to push some advertising dollars their way. If any of you are Houston business owners or in a position to send some business to the station. Please do. We all want this to be a permanent situation.

Amen to that, HoustonEagle.

Any of you fellow NT alums here in DFW know any NT alums who own businesses down on the Gulf Coast? We just cannot let Super NT alum Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale foot all of this bill, too.

God bless Houston and all you Houstonians for opening up the Astrodome for the New Orleans refugees. I was a very lucky kid that got be at the Dome's grand opening, saw ol' #7 Mickey Mantle hit the first home run in the Dome, but how would any of us have ever known back then what its most important role would be today totally unrelated to sports?

This is all just too unbelievable and surreal as I watch CNN even now.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.

      Take a stand? 🤣 They won't and they don't care who are in the uniforms they love as long as they can play and aren't embarrassing the program in their free time. The 27 year olds in FBS not playing QB will be the rarity. Maybe the over 23 year olds playing the more physically taxing positions we stay put their final 2-3 years prioritizing education over chasing a very short improbable NFL careers. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      sure. let's do it. I just think something needs to change if this team wants to legitimately compete for the conference title. it's frustrating that RH seems pretty unwilling to even tinker with line-ups through the non-con. I think there's some real hubris in thinking you've got the rotation dialed from day one when you're working in 75% of a new team.
