For the verteran tail-gater's - How early do you need to show up to get a spot in the Orange lot?

We've never had a chance to do the tailgate thing, and were looking to come early this Saturday!

Thanks!

I usually get there before 11 so Ican get a spot by the bus stop. I don't think the lot filled last game, maybe it did, but not before 4 o'clock or so.

Ok... one followup stupid question - Does anyone sell North Texas EZ-UP's or canopys? I've been meaning to pick one up, so I might as well get one with our logo if I can get my hands on one. Thanks!

Not that I have found...

Nor have I seen a green EZ-UP ...

This week is Homecoming, which is historically the biggest crowd of the year outside of an SMU, Baylor or Navy (this year). People come to Denton early. Based on what I've seen in the Orange lot this year (I'm in Blue this year) you should move your normal departure time to an hour earlier. ENJOY!

Can't understand why they shifted the pay lot to the Orange which fills completely up, whilst the Blue lot sits there half empty. For the first two games, we've arrived about 3:30 and are some of the first into the Blue lot, while the Orange lot is nearly full already. They must've overestimated the number of MGC members that they would have this year.

Not an estimate, a real number. Now, that doesn't mean all of the MG Club members tailgate, but when you give financially, you get to park closer to the stadium. Whether the donors show up or not doesn't matter, they will still have a spot closer to Fouts.

There is a 1-1 ratio for spots and donors. Those spots are sold.. they just either 1) haven't shown up by the time you walked in or 2) Aren't showing up.

Also, keep in mind that they are now doing the crappy (and I mean CRAPPY) festival parking. So they are squeezing all the cars to the south end of the blue lot and exposing all the empty spots. In the past, people parked where they wanted, covered the empty spots with tents and chairs and effectively hid the dirty laundry of the blue lot blues.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Those band parents SHOW UP which is why expanding the Green Brigade is one of the smartest things our school has done. I bet for every band kid, you average atleast two additional people (family members or student friends) who attend the game. Which is why I think we should add a Kilgore Rangerette style drill team. Add 100 drill teamers and you’d probably get 300 extra parents and boyfriends at every game. That is 400 extra people in the stands EVERY game.

      Bosses are firing Gen Z workers months after hiring them

      Interesting debate (I guess) not sure how this took a dive into “beating kids” but this is gomeangreen However what I took out of this article was more of a problem with colleges…..from the point of view of companies that are supposed to be using them to bring in talent. Seems they’re not providing suitable employees for corporations. To the point where these companies just can’t do anything with them so they’re firing them. If this trend continues or gets worse….what does that do the value of a degree? Going back up stream: if it truly is a problem with the kids themselves, seems companies are starting to weed out the poor performers so do colleges start increasing their standards, holding students accountable? Teaching them what it takes to succeed? Or will they just keep taking in all that money and building the nice buildings while churning out an unsatisfactory product. Are they going to develop these kids so they’re providing suitable employees for the companies that want their “talent?” This trend seems unsustainable…..

      Just for fun

      Unless Morris decides to enter the draft, I think he stays. Would love to see what year 2 looks like with him as QB1!

      Fine, Rogers, Morris

      The numbers don’t back this up. He had like 8 of his 29 scores in blow out winning situations while winning. He has like 12 in close games. And like 800 of his 3700. His first year he had 8 in blow out losses and his last he had a lot in wins. On average For me this is just part and parcel of being on a struggling team early and a good team late. I think he padded numbers a bit vs UTEP maybe and Littell played him too much overall but he also has good numbers in the +7, 0, -7 range. Fine was not a stat-padder.

      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.
