Aright, so I enjoyed the basketball game I went to

oldguystudent · January 2, 2012

Most of you here know that I'm not much of a fan of the sport of basketball. This is in no way, shape, or form related to UNT or any other entity. The sport itself just carries no interest for me.

But I got a free ticket to Saturday's game, so I went. And I had a blast. Still don't like the sport of basketball, but listening to Tasty's remarks on male grooming kept me in stitches the whole time. UNT does have its own special brand of trash talking, and it's as witty as I've ever heard.

The band members present were a special breed of zany that the much more serious Mean Green Brigade is not. The tuba players were chasing each other through the stands mid song.

Johnny Jones can make a ref listen to him without throwing chairs, and it's really, really funny to watch the expressions on the refs' faces when Johnny calls them out on something.

Tony Mitchell is not human and I think his wing span must be approaching nine feet.

The UNT dancers are at a much, um, closer view than at Apogee.

So tomorrow begins four months of 9 bajillion hour weeks in a windowless basement for tax season, so no more fun for me, but I sure did enjoy the one game I made this year.

My name is absolutely not oldguystudent, and I endorse your attendance at UNT basketball.

Edit: I posted this in the football forum, didn't I? Crap. Mods please move this.

Well, geez. If you think I've been eating too much, you could just tell me!

You won't be in the thick of busy season for another month and a half or two, you can make some more games

I've been curious about that. I know I've got a bunch of training to get through right now too. I am certainly open to more recreational pursuits should the opportunity present itself.

That was a whole lotta typing just to proclaim that you're not going to anymore games.

Thanks Brah!

If MDH is correct on the timeline of busy season, which I suspect he is, then I made that statement in error. But nice effort in being a snarky little...ah nevermind.

Most of the pep band members who play during the break are alumni since the majority of current students go home. I think it's cool that they come back and do that. The regular members are just as crazy though! They're fantastic and usually come up with great sign ideas. LoveNorthTexas and I have volunteered to spruce up their signs, so look out for some good ones in the future.

Congrats on being the MGC member of the game. I guess you gotta make a sign to get recognition. :notfair:

HAHAHA Or just pester the staff enough that they finally give in! :thumbsu: But, hey, our sign is awesome, so I'm sure that helped.

Sit with us behind the visitors bench and really piss the other team off. :thumbsu:

Same players, we've just got more freedom to be crazy since there aren't 300+.

But it is most definitely a "special breed of zany"
