Hey there fellow eagles. It's been a long time since I've been on here but I've been reading every once in a while when I could.

This Friday is the pep rally before the LA Monroe game. A band called Space Monkey (relation) is the nights entertainment. We played a couple of pep rallies last season including the night before the SMU win. We do cover music - top 40, dance and rock, etc. Myself and another band member are NT grads.

We're looking forward to it as both times we've played these events it has been an awesome time. Come help keep that spirit and tradition going. Free food, free stuff like t-shirts, the cheerleaders, and free music from Space Monkey.

Hope to see both students and fellow alumni there supporting the team and some NT grads.

Do you have a website with some of your music? I was kinda disappointed with the last band, so I want to hear what you got.

Sure thing. Our website has a couple of samples that we recorded in our house when we were students and our myspace has some too. Not sure if they're the same songs on both sites. They both have a playlist on them.

www.SpaceMonkeyBand.com and www.myspace.com/spacemonkeyband

We haven't played in Denton except for the UNT gigs but we've been around for 8 years now. We've played most of the popular sports bars and night clubs with live bands in the DFW area like Sherlock's, Carson's, and The Pour House.

I'd say our draw is playing music that people know and also throwing in a lot of songs that people know and don't hear every day.

The Pour House is a pretty cool bar, IMO. I also like the Fly Saucer for its massive beer selection.

I miss Fort Worth. :(

The Pour House is always packed when we play there. Its one reason that we've never gotten tired of going there even after 5 years of gigs there. I've seen a ton of UNT people there over the years both when I was in school and once I graduated. That place is just a lot of fun. It gets kinda scary on stage sometimes because it's easy for drunks to get up there but most of all because of the floor. Since its on the second story you can feel the floor bending when there's a lot of people dancing a jumping around.

I haven't spent much time at the Saucer, though I know of its popularity. Its one of those places on the list of "to check out".

Yes this event is suitable for all ages.

Yes Space Monkey was most definitely the best entertainer last year. They definitely got the most crowd interaction of all the pep rallies.

Scott,

Not a dumb question in the least. As Gabe mentioned the event is very family oriented so come one, come all.

Thanks for the good words guy. We were very impressed with the turn out both times last year (one was freezing cold and there was still a great crowd). Weather/temp looks good for this week so we're looking forward to another great time.

Any songs that you guys have seen from our list that you definitely want to hear let me know.

Just curious, but when did Friday night pep rally's become a new part of our Mean Green culture?

Really a good idea if the students are actually showing up en mass for them.

Friday night HS football games may be a problem for our coaches to always show up since they are usually out on the recruiting trail to see our Friday Night Lights (heros).

They were before each game last season, except for Homecoming, under the same name.

I think this was started on a consistant basis last year. I think it is a great step forward in getting more spirit on campus and for the games. Just as it is going to take time for this football program, it will take a few years to really get things going like this, but it definately is exciting - we sure didn't have these things when I was in school.

SpaceMonkey! Where have you been???

Oh I've been around. Had a lot going on this last year or so.

Crowd last night was awesome guys. Thanks for coming out. Hopefully that emotion carries over to tonight and the MG get a great and much needed win.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
