That is so funny! Great Post, except the Whack a Mandy game. Are you serious? I wouldn't want to pick a fight with her!

After each losing home game, a staff member of the UNT athletic department, coach, AD, whatever, is given a green shirt.

Free beer? Postgame concert for anyone left in the stands when the final whistle blows? Perhaps a gaggle of strippers performing?

We can use the money from the new student fee to pay for it!

And it wouldn't have to be good beer either. They could buy Natty Light or Keystone. Hell, I'd drink rubbing alcohol if I knew it would give me a buzz after watching some of these games...

I like this one. Stadium would sell out for sure! :P

Not dramatic enough. This is the age of reality TV, and dunking booths have gone the way of battle of the network stars for fan appeal and sensationalism. In this modern day and age, I think you're on the right track, but it needs to go more like this. Before the first kickoff, the coaching staff and athletic department staff are placed standing on a trap door which hovers over a flaming pit of doom. For every point the other team scores, the trap door opens up a few inches. For every point UNT scores, it closes a couple inches. When the margin reaches greater than 35 points, the door springs open, and the whole kit and kaboodle disappear into the flaming wreckage below.

Of course, the whole thing would be set up by Chris Angel and poorly faked, so the entire staff would emerge on Monday completely unharmed and ready for action the following week!

Based on comments that I have read on this board I think if you put Mandy in the dunking booth you might have folks lined up around the block to pay their money and have a shot at her.

oldguy hates Mandy already...more proof for her puddin'!

To be fair, oldguy has but seen her from a distance, but her proximity caused him to endure some very colorful commentary from a number of club members.

The spot in the list in the OP was dedicated to those who donate and feel unappreciated for doing so. I've had similar feelings about someone at UC Irvine, and sometimes wonder why a position such as hers even exists as a paid one. If you want someone really dedicated to it, who will make the mean green club members feel welcome, you should just make it volunteer. Get an alumnus who actually:

A ) Went to UNT at some point in his/her life

B ) Cares more about the score of the UNT game than the cell phone feed for Southern Miss

C ) Cannot count the years since high school graduation on one hand

So in conclusion, I don't personally know the woman, and therefore have no personal beef with her. That given, I can' t think of another person whose mere distant presence brings about such instant ire amongst those in the area.

We could after every loss tie 10 players and a couple coaches to posts and do like our "Christian Puritan" fore-fathers at Salem etc.... allow everyone to throw eggs, tomatoes, dog manure, whatever, at them... Not only would that be interesting... It might motivate them to do better. LOL... that would mean almost everyone might serve a term at the post as well as the coaches.... 7 more games, = 70 players, 14 coaches...... unless they get motivated enough to win. Not as mean as hanging... the Puritans did that one too. -- only those who paid and stayed to the end could participate.

Obviously just kidding... but some serious motivation goes a long way. --I wonder if this will get deleted.. LOL

I've got a novel idea. How about winning??

Since that's a very remote possibility, how about free tickets, free booze and free limo rides to/from the games?

Hey, since we have that beautiful track around the field can the limo take a "laps for cash" at during the game??

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
