I've facebooked every last mother's son I know to go. I'll be there, and likely with the wife and kids in tow. Mavericks be damned! Collin and Denton County Mean Green need to show we can draw more than the miscreants in Dallas did! This is war, damn you!

i'm thinking about going, but it would be just my 4 year old daughter and myself. it sounds more like a sit down and listen event that my daughter might not be patient enough for. is this assumption correct? can anyone give me a heads-up on the situation?

appreciate it.

I've seen kids at the past two. At the Denton stop, Scrappy was keeping some of the kids entertained during the speaking portions of the night. You can always load her up with appetizers to munch on during the speeches as well.

ParksAndRecRick said he would buy her a couple of beers. That may help.

I've now confirmed my wife and two kids - 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl. We can hook them up with Scrappy and free snacks. Kids like snacks...and big walking bird puppets.

so how was it???

It was great. Jub Jub was doing rim shots on a drum kit to Coach Mac's jokes. Free photos. Free booze. It was great to hear Jordon Case speak to his passion for the university. The music from the DJ was a bit too loud for talking. I didn't realize how well the women's golf team was doing...and how many records they beat this year. Good to see and hear the new women's basketball coach.

I think I'll make the haul to Grand Prairie and/or Ft. Worth.

It was great! Let me say this, if you go now, before we start winning, you'll get a chance to talk to the coach one on one. When this thing takes off and more people attend, I have a feeling it will be more of a receiving line.

It was a joy to speak with Coach McCarney, Coach Jones, and new women's basketball coach Karen Aston. It was also good to finally meet Kevin Kokjohn, Troy's dad. He's been gracious enough to give many of us insight over the years.

My kids loved it, although the sugar from the free snacks set them off and we had to move them back into the showroom. We also won a pair of free tickets to the ULM game.

Overall, it was a good-good. There's no reason to miss it.

Freebies: Snacks, soft drinks, cool poster of Johnny Jones, Football poster, large magnetic football schedule for your fridge, pictures with Scrappy, pom poms, mini-mega phones, coaches, dancers...and Jub on drums. Get you and your family to this thing while it's still free, yo.

FREEBIE II: McCarney will give Barry Switzer a run for his money in HELL/DAMN department. Set your HELL/DAMN over-under at 20...and take the over. The Todd Dodge Era is clearly long gone. There will be cussing and coaching on the sidelines in Denton again, fellas.

This was a wonderful event. Jordan Case did an outstanding job hosting it. The food was great, the music was a nice touch, the bar was nice, and obviously the coaches did a fantastic job. All in all a wonderful night for the Mean Green, and hopefully got some new folks engaged with what's going on in Denton. As TFLF it won't be long, you had better jump on the bandwagon now.

Let me add that even though the new women's basketball coach isn't Kathy McConnell-Miller, she is intense. My guess is she'll have one of the biggest turnarounds in women's college basketball next season. She very business-like.

Also, Lifer, the dancers are there. I'm not sure how free they are; but, if you are young, or Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'd say give it a shot. Having a cute youngster with you helps attract them over to you as well. Borrow a daughter or niece or something. They were easy on the eye, that's for sure.

This seems like the old bait and switch. You listed them under freebies on your previous post and now you pull the rug right out from under me. Then again, these young ladies are old enough to be my daughters, so I hope everyone knew I was kidding.

Wish I could have been there. Sounds like a great event.

There is free snow at the top of Mount Everest. You just have to be man enough to go for it. ;-)

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      First College Net Rankings released

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      First College Net Rankings released

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
