Due to many scheduling conflicts with our own people and the AD, the GMG Bowl-IV game is now tenatively scheduled for April 28th at 10:00AM, to be played at the Andrew Smith practice field (where we played last year). As it stands right now, and remember these dates are pending approval...

March 29th - Live player draft on GMG Board, plus any trades or substuitutes (time to be determined, but shooting for 9:00PM)

I am working with Mary Hardin (Coach Dodge's right-hand) and Brian Bethea to get everything finalized. Coach Dodge has already said he would support us in this effort, so I will post the finalized timeline as soon as posible. In the mean time, note the date changes and be thinking about your Bios.

so uhh whats the age requirement for this game? Cause its prefinals week and I'm down to play some football

No age requirement. You must be a member of this board to play, but all are welcome to come out and be a part of the event. I dont believe we have ever had a player younger than 18, so I would call that a minimum age. I believe everyone on the board clears that one, So get your bio ready and watch for the final timelines (schedules). They will be posted soon.

So does that mean that this year you'll be catching your TD passes from inside the athletic center or just outside of it?

Glad the date works out. There were others with scheduling issues as well, so good deal.

As for the jerseys and Fouts Field, we really dont want to play at Fouts Field. We should play this game every year on Andrew Smith's Field. (It is a scholarship in his name?) The Andrew Smith Practice field is kept up, It's natual grass, and we wont have that black rubber stuff in our ears, mouths and noses like we would if we played at Fouts. As for the jerseys... Anyone who wants to get a donor to put those up for us feel free. I have no contact for jerseys that would be donated. Yes, we could buy them... but that takes away from the money we can give to the scholarship fund? Last year FFR (Rick McKinney) got the shirts donated, and I got the names and lettering donated. I may have found a source for the shirts and lettering, but they will not donate jerseys. (I'm still pushing for the t-shirts) So, if you have a source for the jerseys please let me know. Otherwise we will have t-shirts again, which we have been happy with.

More info to follow.

Alex,

Why don't you try and get some jerseys donated for us? I would also like a jersey but this is a fundraiser and the idea is to give back to the athletic dept. In exchange, they are very cooperative and let us use the field free of charge. They also usually open up the AC for us (restrooms, refreshments, and a place to take pictures/crown the winner)...

Steve,

I have the trophy from last year so you do not need to worry about buying a new trophy. All that we need for it is a new year - and if you want, I will go take care of that myself. I was thinking about chaning out the faceplate of it to document the past 3 winners of the game - what do you think about that? Then each year we could update the name plate like the freaking Stanley Cup or something, lol... Anyways - I have it, it is in great shape - sitting on display on my desk in my office at work. Still is brand new in every way.

Now - I would ask one small thing of the players and the board... I know that you guys have really taken this ball and run with it since I put the first game together four years ago; but I would like to be captain of the green team por favor. I cannot play in the game very much due to a very bad back. I have had surgery since last year - but I really won't be able to play too much as it is still a pretty iffy situation. Last year I was able to muster exactly one play, on the last play of the game (an interception, it was!) - but anyways - if you would please let me carry on this tradition of being a team captain that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Honey...I work for an airline. Flying home is WICKED easy...especially when the flight deck jumpseat is an option. I was home last week. Likely home in a couple more.

I am 16, been on the boards since I was 14. Me, along with 5 or so others were the teens in lower section E who painted a couple of times at the home games.

Haven't missed a game since 04'. Only one of us has alumni that went to North Texas, we just like the team, and like the games.

I'm pretty sure all of us would like to play, if the rules can be bent.

Would it matter, so long as I'm standing here with the ball and your looking at me from "OVER THERE"?

The only concern I have with the date is that for the past 3 or 4 years, the last weekend in April was rain central. Here's hoping this year is a welcome change of pace.

The way I figure it...as long as you guys put in your money for the scholarship fund and stay the hell away from my beer...I don't see why not. Remember that one of the rules is: "You must be a member of this board". However, one post counts as "member".

From what I've seen, he can't play in Denton, either so it shouldn't make a bit of difference. B)

Exactly.

I'm hoping to make it this year. There are a lot of variables, foremost being possible surgery on my foot. If I'm available anyone need a 6'6" TE? If I'm not available I could always be a waterboy. Just call me 'Bobby Boucher'. Now that's what I call high quality H2O!

Question. Anyone have kids with saturday morning games such as soccer and baseball? I'm coaching my boy's T ball team. We haven't recieved our schedule yet, but I'm worried about the 10 a.m. start for our flag football game since most leagues have saturday games through the noon hour, at least?

I have looked at moving the start-time to the early afternoon. Remember that in late April it is getting hot in the afternoon. (at least it was last year) However, we should get as many people as possible in for this game. So, unless I run across a road block from the Athletic Department, we will attempt a 1:00 kickoff. Again, nothing is definite until we get the approvals, and they are a little busy right now with a NCAA Basketball Tournament in New Orleans. We will re-visit this when they get back.

Go MEAN GREEN BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!!!......Beat Memphis!

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
