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!

So our only two affiliates have christian based programming. I don't care who you are, that's funny.

We need more radio coverage. However it comes.

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.

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?

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.

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.

What channel is the station on?

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.

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.
