The Home Opener Against Henderson State

[SUMG]

They made a PA announcement last night about the Nov. 12 game. Unless I heard wrong, they said that it would be Denton ISD Day....and that the game would start at 12 noon on a Friday. The game was originally scheduled for a 5 p.m. tip off....which is what they still have on the official site.

Anyone else hear this......as that's what I thought they announced.

I heard that too. Meangreensports.com still says 500pm

We still had fun. Although, I really hoped that they had learned their lesson about the noon games on weekdays...

I was there and if I recall that game was also $1 hot dog day.

Oh hell I hope not. Everyone in our family had to miss the noon game last year except my wife. Worse still, she could only find one person to make use of the extra tickets.

Great way to generate interest in the fan base...schedule the first game for noon on a Friday! Crack PR and promotions staff at work? I know, I know, probably something else involved and, still no official word on a time change. But, if this is true, I fail to see the logic in it. How many showed up for the last noon weekday game? Big crowd...OK...keep doing it...no turnout? Maybe a lesson learned, or at least you would think so.

Hopefully, the game remains an evening tip-off. Heck, 5PM is probably too early for most fans. Students? Heck, they don't show up anyway...and 5PM on a Friday???? Maybe that's what the athletic dept. is thinking, so they want to try to bring in some "new" fans. I wish them luck...I can't make the noon time (still working), but will be there if it remains a 5PM tip-off (or even later, hopefully).

Can't wait for some Mean Green Basketball...you gotta love JJ and the guys! On to the NCAA's for the MEAN GREEN!

If it was a bigger/better opponent you could really market it. But I gotta say that I'd never even heard of Henderson State until I saw them on the schedule. Hopefully the game is at a more fan friendly time.

Aren't you glad they decided the string up the banners against Tech and not Henderson State?
