Thanks for the heads-up.

Just wondering, does GMG.com enter a float ever in the parade?

[Harry]

That's a great idea and one I haven't ever even thought of. Any good float makers out there?

I can think of a spirited car that can be used ...

How about the Deathmobile from Animal House?

Seriously though, not sure if there's a "Theme" required for the parade or not. They dont have the entry forms ready on the web-stite yet.

OK I feel stupid, I think I answered my own question. I guess the theme is "VOTE" Mean Green Nation....

[Travis]

I entered a float in the parade just about 10 minutes ago.

What are we voting for?

What are we voting for?

A NEW STADIUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we've found our first float design idea ladies and gentlemen!

Start submitting sketches!

There is a prize for the best float that follows the theme but I believe that anything in good taste is allowable.

I was thinking of a flatbed full of electric fans, hand fans, etc with a placard saying "but the best North Texas fans are found at Go Mean Green.com." Should be relatively inexpensive and easy to construct. Most of us could contribute by bringing our own fans and a small stipend to cover the cost of crepe paper (or whatever decorative materials we chose).

I still have my 'GoMeanGreen.com' t-shirt and several others do as well. Maybe we could do another order for those that don't.

I do think that it would be great publicity.

Having built a float or two back in the day, I speak from experience....

Building a float is a complete ASS WHIP!! I don't think you are prepared for what you're volunteering

But hey, more power to ya

A stadium float wouldn't be hard.

[Eagle1855]

A stadium float wouldn't be hard.

A flat bed full of empty promises?

Ziiing?

And I'll echo Baby Arm... complete and total asswhip- and that's with the "help" of 20-30 other people. People don't realize how much money and work goes into the floats the fraternities and sororities put together every year. Its a hell of an undertaking.

[JesseMartin]

I think there's a much funnier (and simpler) response to "How do you make a Stadium Float?" than Tasty's.

Aaaannnnd cue the part where we get a new sponsorship from Barq's.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Funny.

[Green Guy Bass]

Yeah this is North Texas...we are not really into effort. Just ask our administration.

I'm glad I finally stopped by here again after a long absence. Thanks for the info. We'll have to look at the calendar and see if we can make it. We missed last year - the first time ever - and I would hate to miss again, especially with the special anniversary.

Eh. The background is too busy, IMO. I keep getting distracted by it. I see the vote thing in the background and I feel like I'm missing out on voting for something important since I can't find a link to vote.

It looks cool, but I keep thinking the page is jacked up cause some webmasters don't code pages for FireFox since the breadcrumb links are off centered from the bullets.

*puts in request to have 10/23-24 off*

I need to look at our October schedule at work, but I'll do my best to get up there by Thursday night.

The last time I built a float...I wound up in the emergency room with a 3 inch industrial staple sticking through the middle finger on my left hand. The big bandage on said middle finger was quite humourous when I waved to the crowd on parade day.

I didn't know this thread existed before I texted Cerebus telling him we needed to build it. It could be like Christopher Walken building Optimus Prime.

As in, The Royal 'We'?
