"McCollum tries to downplay the home opener Saturday at Floyd Stadium as just another league game, which is tantamount to saying Angelina Jolie is just another girl. This game is quite important on a variety of levels and for a many a reason. Saying otherwise just doesn't fly". rolleyes.gif

"I think everybody else is making it bigger than it is," McCollum says. "I don't have to. Everybody else does that. This is our next game, and it is big because it is our home opener and it is North Texas and because you're playing a team nobody in this conference has beaten, including us."

And that makes North Texas the man. cool.gifcool.gifcool.gif

Question is will Andy McCollum have a job after we win on Saturday?

GO MEAN GREEN!!!

The reporter also said "there hasn't really been a reason to go to Floyd Stadium lately" and as Mean Greener I strongly disagree with that quote from the Tennessee sports reporter.

There "IS" a reason for SBC fans to always show up at "THEIR" teams stadiums because it is "THEIR" team who is playing. Non BCS, mid-majors or whatever they call us now need to one day (soon) get out of this mode of "we will support the home team if they have a win or 2 under their belt or they are playing somebody we know." That mode of thinking in many ways is what separates most of the BCS from the non BCS if you think about it.

In Mean Green Country, I hope our new generation of fans will be just like UT fans in Austin are when they sellout against ULaLa or us. Last weekend, the Horn's fans didn't sellout DKR Memorial Stadium because the Rajun Cajuns were in town but because it was "THEIR" Texas Longhorns football team who were in town.

GMG!

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      I wonder why we aren’t being more creative raising funds since we are way behind the curve. The Bearkats lack a large outside collective. Almost all money is generated in-house. A lot of that is being creative with stipends and awards that are allowed within NCAA rules, generating the money to pay for them via avenues like an auction for fans. Barnes spearheaded an event this summer that featured 25 in-demand items, including things like all-access passes to away games. Fans shadowed the team every step of the way during tips to Rice and Texas State; a few thousand dollars raised that can be funneled toward retention.

      Just for fun

      So, I was thinking. There’s a high probability Chandler is going to get poached next year, unfortunately, so I wanted to see your prediction on who our qb will be next year. Just because it’s an off week and this is all in fun, my ideal scenario is to keep Morris.(both of them) plus, if one of us turns out to be right we get bragging rights!! lol That being said, I could see a certain former Guyer qb, that has recently lost his starting job, come back home and spend a season with the new qb whisperer!! That’s right, Jackson Arnold. predict away! cheers fellas!!

      Houston started to look like Fritz ball tonight. Cougar now has 2 wins. Raise a toast CQ and savor the evening. Good win over Sonny. Fort Worth looks bored directionless. GMG

      The Answer is Marketing....

      We all love Grant. Think it was a typo. Tough name for GM and auto correct. I don’t know about the dormant alumni. They seem like lost causes to me. A buddy last weekend who never goes to a UNT game though a grad, was happy to send me pics from smu where he went to see his beloved Noles. No connection to FSU but he was there. He doesn’t disparage UNT but doesn’t care either. And the silly alums on sports radio apologize for speaking about UNT or giving an update about a G5 team. Spineless. Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game. Have a Mariachi Mean Green crew like they do at Texas Rangers. The mariachis on mariachi Monday walk around the concourse in their Ranger red outfits smiling taking pictures with fans. Then they play a few sets on the big screen and boom you get a unique group of peeps you look forward to seeing. The coolest thing this season was all their close ups of their championship rings as they strung their instruments. Could be a nice link to our Denton Hispanic community. Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. GMG
