I think this may be an opportunity to help out two very needy athletic programs. There should be a barbeque cookoff before the game. Proceeds going to benefit the athletic departments of each respective University. It also could prove who makes the best parking lot barbeque in the greater DFW area. I think it could get a lot of people interested in these programs. This is just an idea. I was just wondering if anyone else could see the same opportunity.

If you're talking about a North Texas vs SMU BBQ cookoff, keep in mind that the SMU fans will more than likely oursource Coopers out of Llano to do the cooking for them. rolleyes.gif

SMU people, cook for themselves? ohmy.gif

Regardless, a barbecue brisket or rib competition should be a no brainer. And to raise the money they should allow the competitors to sell their food. $2 a rib, $20 for a rack, $5 for a plate of brisket. The Mean Green Club would gain more by this than the 20% they are getting from their vendors.

By the way SoundMan, check your P.M.

They'd pretty much have to. La Madeleine doesn't do BBQ.

Speaking of the game, what will the makeup of the crowd be like? How many fans do you think they will bring? How many in Green and White? Will Fouts hit capacity?

I'd like to be the judge of that. SoundMan, JohnDenver, I believe we have a challenge!

You are just itching for NCAA violations aren't you. Unless you clear it with the NCAA you can't give monies to any school club or athletic funded project, from a tailgate or athleticlly funded affair. And to do what you suggest you should have whats called a temp. small business licence.

its not a school-sponsored event, its a fan sponsored event, so the NCAA thing doesnt apply. I dont know about the temp small business liscence, but if its not for profit, I dont see why that would be necessary either. Its basically a glorified bake-sale.

So the N. Texas SMU game isn't a NCAA sponsored event (Hummmmm did you all go NAIA or something). And anytime you anticipate selling over 750.00 at an event you need a temp small business liscence. Our tailgate is set and cleared for every game this year if we give back to the university and we have a small business liscence. Even though we don't sell we take donations up for the next tailgate and roughly get around 1100 dollars. The city and state doesn't see it that way so we just buy a small business liscence. Would rather have my house in order then the NCAA come knocking.

Let's say you have a groups of people (teams) raising money for ... say ... the American Cancer Society representing a geographic area (city). Each team goes out and raises money, whether through individual members or as a whole, but donates all the money raised back to the ACS. Let's also say there is a big gala where all the teams from this geographic area get together for a night and try and raise a whole bunch of money. These teams can raise money in any number of ways such as games, food, raffles, etc for a donation.

You're saying that each individual team must get a temporary small business lisence if they plan to raise more then $750 even though a much larger organization is the one that benefits from the money raised?

I have a hard believing that one of the largest not-for-profit organizations for cancer education, advocacy, and research has been breaking the law for years whenever it hosts a Relay for Life event in local communities across the nation.

I suspect the temporary business license is to help stop people from setting up "store fronts" along the side of the road or in a parking lot and selling something ... like shoes or watches ... for a profit.

I think our athletic department would let us know if there was a problem, which I don't think there is.

      Memphis (1/5/25)

      Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.

      Mean Green Fall At No. 21 Memphis, 68-64

      The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat. North Texas’ Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists. UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists. “If you have told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn’t handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We’ll regroup together and get better from this together.” The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
