Bus To Austin For The Unt V. Ut Basketball Game!

infuryum · November 30, 2007

Hey everyone. Here's the final details of the bus to Austin per Athletics and the Pit Crew leadership:

North Texas athletics will provide a bus for the game next Wednesday at Austin. The total cost for BOTH bus ride there and back and ticket is $35. There are only 48 seats on the bus so it will be a first come, first serve on getting your money in. Money will be collected in the SGA office (320S student union). The money has to be cash and is due by 11am Monday, December 3rd. Someone will be in the SGA office today till 5pm. I will be in the SGA office Monday at 8am. You can come by at either of those times.
The bus will leave from the ticket office of Fouts Field at 1:30 Wendesday December 5th and will return directly after the end of the game. The bus will be handicap accessible. Shoot me a message if you have any questions.
GET YOUR MONEY IN FAST TO SAVE YOUR SEAT!
Go Mean Green

I'm available this weekend to meet you and collect funds if you want to get in on this. I can meet you in Denton; no I can't meet you in Dallas. I'll put your name on a spreadsheet and give you a receipt with the details of the trip. This process NEEDS to be completed by Monday. PM me on this board if you want to come!

I checked with Athletics. As they're the ones putting together the bus trip itself, they need full payment by Monday in order to reserve it. I know some of you are coming from Dallas and beyond, and I pressed them to allow promises to pay on Wednesday, but they said money needs to be in-hand on Monday. If someone in the Denton area can front you folks coming from distances, we can make this work. Otherwise, you'll need to come up here to Denton to get a spot.

If you need us to work with you, please let me know. We'll do what we can!

THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT SAYS THET KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS.

Did you call the basketball or just the general AD? I called the AD office a couple of weeks ago about the ASU game and they told me it was on tv, but the football offices told me it was not.

THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT WAS WHERE I INQUIRED... MY BUDDIES UNCLE WORKS FOR THEM AND HE ASKED AROUND. THEY STILL KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AN ORGANIZED TRIP.

I like the passion. NT has great fans. It would be So Cool if you guys beat "Texas at Austin." Good luck!

So this bus thing was a scam?

infuryum · December 3, 2007

No, not a scam. It's still on if we can get enough people. It's being sponsored by Athletic Promotions.

FilmerJ, please ask the right people, namely me, before you go yelling on the board and calling me a liar. I have no motivation to deceive the alumni, and I'll appreciate a little more consideration and respect in the future. Thanks.

I'll try to get an extension on the deadline. If you can at least promise today to pay on Wednesday, I can try to reserve a spot. Call the SGA office at 940-565-3850 or PM me here.

No one from this message board has told me for sure that they want to go. I think we're short on the student side of attendees, so the bus may not happen. Shucks.

It's interesting that you'd believe the uncle of a friend of a guy you know from a message board over the Student Body President of the University who is also the administrator and funder of the Pit Crew. When it comes to sporting events, basketball games, parking for tailgating, or any other information alumni need to know when they come to the campus to attend games, the information that I've posted has historically been accurate, and I've fought for you all when things come up that you don't like. It's my pleasure to help you all out and let you know what the students are doing because we want to participate with you and we want you to feel comfortable participating with us.

That being said, I'd ask for more than $35 if I was going to scam you all.

No sweat, man.

I think bus idea didn't have enough participants, but some of us are caravaning down to Austin tomorrow. Tickets are super cheap (I'll have an exact figure later today), and it should be a fun trip. You're all welcome to join us!

Sorry the bus thing didn't work out. It was super short notice, even for us. We'll see if we can get a bus full of rowdy green folks for a good game next semester.

infuryum · December 4, 2007

Here's the latest information:

We've talked to Athletics Promotions about getting a discount on tickets, and they said to call the Texas ticket office. If you have ten or more people, tickets are $6. Individual tickets for the game are $10. The North Texas fan section is Section 92. The Texas ticket office phone number is 1-800-982-2386. Hopefully we will see you there! Sorry for all the confusion.

If you're interested in meeting up with the Pit Crew and rolling down there together, please post here or PM me. More is merrier!

Just another in a long line of "missed opportunities" for UNT to move forward into the BIG TIME. As long as we think and ACT small we will always be considered small...that's by other conferences, other teams and POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTORS TO A NEW STADIUM, etc., etc. Wow...how bad can it be when the athletic dept. won't set up a bus trip for a game with Texas???? I guess they are way too busy deciding on which bowl to accept after that 2-9 season! The fans seem to be getting behind the program...why doesn't the athletic dept. and the Mean Green Club do the same?????

Shame...just a shame. And an easy promo too...we did it years ago...I rode the bus down to Texas! It can be done.....just another in a long line of "missed opportunities". Too bad..

And, I might add....where were the Exes in this deal???? The Exes did a bus to the OU football game, why not try for a bus to the Texas BB game????

Just wondering. <_<
