While on vacation last month, my wife and I stopped by the Vietnam Veterans memorial at Eagle's Nest New Mexico. Very impressive facility.....and a very moving tribute to the Viet Nam veterans.

Interesting statistic that I learned while I was there.

The average age of the frontline soldiers who served in WWII....26. The average age of the frontline soldier that served in Viet Nam....19.

Amen to that.  Happy Veterans Day.  Thank you to any of you guys reading this.  Mean Green and a Vet?  That is one bad ass...

I'm a Mean Green, US Army Fighting Machine, and proudly served my country in Viet Nam. I'm a bad sumbitch! mad.gif

And thanks to all of my fellow Veterans, my Viet Nam Veteran Brothers, and especially those in our armed forces serving in Iraq.

I visted Washington DC this past summer and toured the memorials to the veterans and fighting men and women of Vietnam, WWII and Korea. When I asked why there is no memorial to the veterans of WWI , I was told that there is not enough of them still alive to finance one. Made me sick.

U.S. Army Medevac Helicopter Pilot 1989-1995. Served in "Desert Storm" and "Provide Comfort" and flew my ass off out there. Wildest flying I ever did.

I salute all my military brothers and thank them for what they have given, and what they are still doing both overseas and at home. Sometimes I miss the military, but most times I am just happy to have served my country...

GMG!!!

      My non UNT co worker that has no interest in football just sent me this reel. It’s a very cool story! I hope he sticks around and pushes Poffenbager. Iron sharpens iron.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG

      RECAP: No. 21 Memphis wins scrappy battle over North Texas

      Memphis shot 55% overall and 38% on 3-pointers. It also recorded 16 forced turnovers, 8 steals, 7 assists, 4 offensive rebounds and 3 blocks. The game saw six lead changes and four ties, but the Tigers still remained ahead for more than 24 minutes. Ross Hodges’ team (10-4, 1-1 AAC) shot 43% from the field and 22% from beyond the arc. It also outrebounded Memphis 30-21 while racking up 15 forced turnovers, 12 offensive rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. Brenen Lorient (18), Moulaye Sissoko (17), Jasper Floyd (11) and Rondel Walker (10) scored double-figure points for the Mean Green. Here are some takeaways from Memphis’ AAC home opener. read more: https://bluffcitymedia.co/recap-no-21-memphis-wins-scrappy-battle-over-north-texas/?amp=1
