18-wheeler shows NT spirit

Vehicle decked out for tailgating in style

The article talks about the 18 wheeler that has been tailgateing at the UNT FB games. The owner said the university could use it whenever they wanted to. Does anybody know if he donated the truck to UNT or sold it to UNT? If the university can use it anytime they like I think they should really take advantage of that and take it to alot of events in the DFW area.

I had a chance to meet with the couple the first night they unveiled it. After Friday Night @ Clark Park I stopped by the trailer and they invited me in to take a look as they were finishing up decorating.

I can only say very good things. They were a fantastic family and I really look forward to seeing them again at the next game.

We set up to Tailgate next to him at Homecoming. He and his wife came over to introduce themselves to us and invited us to look inside. They also said my family could use their restroom instead of the Port-o-Potty's..............my wife was very grateful. Very nice folks.

I really need to stop by and take a look at that thing. Are they accommodating to strangers wandering by, or do they too require a mysterious and mythical wristband to come within 50 feet? What do they do for their tailgating activities?

They're constantly letting folks go inside and look around. No wristband required, nor being on a guest list.

At Homecoming, they set a grill up in the parking space directly behind the truck, and cooked hot dogs and hamburgers. They even offered to let me use their grill, since they have a nice full sized one, and I've got one of those mini grills that only sits about 6 inches off the ground.

"What I'd like to do is change the graphics once a year just to integrate all the kids, make it part of their college experience," he said. "And offer a $1,000 scholarship for the one that comes up with the graphics that gets chosen. And each summer we'll change that out."

I alway wondered why the Exes or the AD didn't try to involve the students more, even if it was just a t-shirt design for some home games.

This is a great idea to build a sense of excitement and ownership from the students.

True - I hear constant amateur t-shirt designing is one of the reasons the Sorority system is so successful. I'd also like to see halftime replaced with a series of skits from student organizations - just like Rice but worse.

You just can't resist, can you?

I saw the truck at the Rice game and thought it was a new addition to UNT's traveling fleet. Very nice looking.

I think they should let TD drive it to the games...Then he allows the MVP of each game to ride in the cab and honk the horn.... :)

Since we rarely send the Green Brigade to out of town conference games, I'd like to see the Mean Green 18 Wheeler on road games as a center piece for those Mean Green fans that do travel with the team.

Imagine the Mean Green getting off the team bus at the out of town venue and seeing that big beautiful truck. And how the home team would feel seeing what the visitors brought with them.

Do you really want to have to wait 5 years for it to arrive, and then still be just hoping that it gets to the desired location?

I do think that the Mean Green Nation should make it a point to tailgate around the coolest rig in the nation(away games)! Park that bad boy in the Rice Lot, Troy Lot, Lamo Lot or 2 miles from Death Valley and make that the Mean Green party location! We can even put up a tip bucket to help this family pay for the gas to get that show on the road!

When I first saw that I thought what a powerfull recruiting tool it could be used for. I hope that is exactly what they have planned for it.

Don't you have to have a CDL to drive a fire truck? I think you would look pretty cool driving it with that FFR helmet on.

UNT'S FFR WANTS YOU!

      What's so frustrating is that we were there, on the cusp. We were THAT team. WE HAD THE MOMENTUM (starting in 2017) until Littrell's flirtations with KSSt. The wheels fell off after that.... starting with Fine's injury in the NM Bowl game that year, then Harrell getting hired away & replaced by Bodie Reeder. The next season, the lackadaisical SL showed up and he wasn't having fun anymore. No more high energy, "Get after their asses!!". Instead, it was low energy, "we gotta do better in all 3 phases".... Then, we fired Littrell, and rightly so, but brought in Great Value Seth Littrell to replace him, which was a bone-headed move.

      Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

      He was only recruited as a reserve; mainly to get in on the SOC/Dallas pipeline. (15 minutes away). Their guy was 4-Star QB Preston Stone of Parish Episcopal. Stone was injured and hasn't performed up to expectations. Jennings exceeded expectations. Not great but effective.

      New Commit....Cahmai Crosby, combo guard......Kilgore JC

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.

      There is a certain coach in the Piney Woods that fits that criteria and has wanted to be at UNT for years.
