GMG.COM 2nd Annual BB Game! March 31st 10AM

[KRAM1]

Good money could be made if you could manage to get some UNT stuff signed by number #13, perhaps one of those UNT basketballs with the side made for signatures? That would create a lot of interest, at least from wallet.

A TM jersey would be great, but since no one at the bookstore had the forethought to order the jersey of the most highly rated recruit inUNT history, and apparently they have to order stuff one year in advance, good luck finding one. If by chance you do, it will bring in some good money. That I promise.

Agree, but there seems to be a bit of a challenge with having individual players with current eligibility sign items for re-sale...even if the sale is for a charity/fund-raiser for the school itself such as ours...I tried that last year with both the BB and the football games.

Count me in and possibly 2 more! Large T-Shirt for me. This event is a blast, I encourage you guys to sign up, a day of good hoop with Cheerleaders and special guests.. Great venue and great fun for all involved. Also a good cause! GMG!

Thanks, harry...I've got you down.

Also wanted to point out the METZLER'S BBQ logo on the page...ad banner thingy...Roy Metzler, with Metzler's BBQ has again agreed to be one of our sponsors. We will, as we did last year, hold our after event "gathering" at Metzler's BBQ on Londonderry lane just off Teasley in Denton. Good cold beer and great BBQ...so make plans to head over to Metzler's again this year after the event...we will conclude our silent auction bidding at that time as well.

Really appreciate Roy Metzler and Metzler's BBQ for stepping up to help once again this year. Roy is a great supporter of UNT and UNT Athletics. Stop by Metzler's when you have a chance and have a bite and a drink to support a great local restaurant and a great member of the Mean Green Nation...thanks so much Roy and Metzler's BBQ!

OK, in the hopes that it will make it a little easier for folks who are "not local" or who would simply like to donate to the UNT Cheer Squad GMG.COM BB game fund-raising event, there is a PayPal site/button up on GMG.com's forums page . The donations button was just created by harry for the event and it has been tested and is working properly.

As you can see from the site, we have set a goal of raising a MINIMUM of $500 through this vehicle...so, if you would like to help...please click on the link and donate at any level you would like and feel comfortable in doing. Any donation, at any level, would certainly be appreciated and 100% of the proceeds go the the UNT Cheer Squad!

If you do not like using on-line payment systems, please PM me and I will provide an address for you to use in mailing a check.

Thanks for your consideration of help with this event.

More info to follow as it becomes available...

PLAYERS...we need players.....don't miss this chance to have a great time and to help some Mean green students along the way. Every dollar helps....

Harry's 4th quarter defense against the winning team's (green?) best player (forget the name he used. He is the brother of a current female BB player) allowed our team (white?) to pull within 12 after a very rough start. The dude was virtually undefendable, except for those minutes in the 4th that Harry had him.

The final score was a bit deceptive, as once it got back to a 20 point lead and time was running down, several of the female cheerleaders manned the guard positions for our team (followed shortly by a full court press by the opposition).

Fun times for all. Come out and play.

Just a little bit of correction here UNT90...the guys playing name was ECHO and he is the brother of a current TWU player...Raquel Cuffie. Raquel played at UNT last season, but has since transferred to TWU to continue playing.

Raquel's mom, Terri, was very very helpful in planning working this game for us last year. We could not have raised as much $$$ for the cheer squad as we did without her great ideas and help. I miss working with her on this year's event already.

Raquel was also instrumental in getting our men basketball players to come out and ref and watch which made it an even better time...remember Josh and george lauging as they watched us run up and down that court? The same guys who had all the comkments about their play...Ha! Priceless. And, raquel also refereed for us...

Great times, indeed. Had so much fun that I decided to come back and do it again...

PLAYER SIGN-UP DEADLINE: 5:00PM on FRIDAY MARCH 16th.

I met with UNT staff and the Cheer Squad sponsor/coach to get some details for the event worked out yesterday afternoon, and the above deadline was set for player sign-ups and ads sales for the program, etc. This should give us time to get the player shirts printed and the game day brochure laid out and printed...so, please folks, if you would like to play, sign up as early as you can so we can get things together for the "Big Show" on March 31st.

If you can't play or just simply do not want to play, please come out and support the event...no admission charge, and we'd appreciate the support on game day...plus, we may need folks to help carry out the players after the game...sore legs and feet and all that.....

If you can and/or would like to help...please do so...

1) Sign up to play ($25 player fee)

2) Make a PayPal donation...any size, really, any size right here on GoMeanGreen.Com

3) Buy a game day t-shirt (pre-orders only please by the March 16th date - $20)

4) Buy an ad for the game day program...prices range from $25 to $100)

5) Be a game Day sponsor (PM me for costs and opportunities)

6) Sponsor the half-time free throw contest ($50)

7) Donate something for the silent auction...we need items for the auction...PLEASE....

Folks, this is for the Cheer Squad... no one...GMG.com, me...no one benefits except the Cheer Squad (and they definitely need and deserve some support for all the great work they do supporting UNT).

You can always PM me here on GMG.Com for more info or to get my personal contact info....

[KRAM1]

Wanted to update everyone on our corporate sponsors that have signed on to date to help:

METZLER'S BBQ

MERIDIAN BANK

CROSS TIMBERS EQUIPMENT

M BENJAMIN DESIGNS

In addition we have a few other folks looking at sponsorships, buying ads in the game day brochure/program and in making individual contributions. I have not listed all our individual contributors as I have not asked for their permission to do so, but just know that several folks have stepped forward as individuals to help out with this charity event in support of the UNT Cheer Squad. More corporate and individual supporters will follow I am most certain, but i did not want to delay in thanking those who have already come forward with support.

Please remember these folks...and all our sponsors when you have a need for the services they provide...great people behind these businesses and all support the Mean Green!

[KRAM1]

In case you tuned in late...and have not seen the graphic in the thread's original post (thanks Harry), the graphic of this year's T-shirt design for the game is found in the original post. Check it out...no need to reinvent the wheel here...Smitty (David Pyke) did a great job for us last year and has returned to update the logo for this year's game. Thanks to Smitty for another job well done and for donating his services to the cause once again. A very busy guy, but he never fails to step up and help us out for both our flag football and basketball games. Many thanks....

Shirt size: XL

6'2" white guy trapped in a white man's body. Don't think I've played since last year's game, but I still got mad skillz. Undefeated all-time in GMG.com basketball contests. I've been training for a half marathon, so if there is one thing I can do, it's run up and down the court for the whole game.

[aztecskin]

Yes give me a medium again please.
