I wonder what it is about?

[golfingomez]

well, glad they finally got the official announcement out

[cdizzle86]

Whew....I was starting to get a little worried.

The Sleeping Giant is WAKING!!!

Go Mean Green!!!

I expect Ole' Ricky V to be sittin on a stool and when the time comes, he looks at the camera and says,

'Umm... in 2013... man this is very tough... In 2013, we are going to be taking our talents to Conference USA and leaving the Sun-Belt'

Meh on it being a media only event.

Why can't we have the celebration Friday? It makes the most sense and some of us worked to clear our calendars for Friday because of the anticipated announcement.

I'm guessing they are combining the Tuesday celebration with the Coaches Caravan on Tuesday, which is scheduled for 6-8pm at Apogee Stadium/CLub Level.

[Mean Green 93-98]

And this stuff smells because now they are doing it in the middleo of finals... great job...

If your professor is worth a %$&!, he will project the announcement on the screen while you all are taking your final.

[Guest Guest]

UNT - Welcome to Conference USA. We at Marshall University are so happy to have you in the conference.

[MeanGreenHoops]

And this shit sucks because now they are doing it in the middleo of finals... great job...

Yeah, Tuesday is my mom's birthday too. Why don't they check this stuff before scheduling conflicting events

[greenminer]

Fans are welcome to wear helmets at said celebration.

Exactly that is correct and makes a lot of sense.

[MeanGreenHoops]

Congratulations to Rick and his staff, Harry and your helpers, and all of us for supporting this program. What we have collectively done since Rick V. took over has finally paid off!

[letsgiveacheer]

Not impressed. Too many schools with green as their color in this conference!

(joke)

Congratulations to all!

Looks like the "fun" will be part of the Tuesday Coaches caravan that starts at 6PM on Tuesday the 8th. I think this is a great idea...we know it's a done deal anyway, so let's let the out of town folks drive up/down to Denton only once and make it a bigger event than it would have been as so many folks are working on Friday's at the appointed time.

I appreciate the AD folks setting it up this way...this is going to be fun folks...see you Tuesday!

And, if you are not a member of the Mean green Club or have not renewed your Mean Green Club membership as yet...bring your checkbook and/or credit card!

Our 9'th name change announcement, perhaps?

I'm happy for all of us...Look at our CUSA division. Only thing that would have been better was the old SWC as far as a regional conference is concerned (or the Big 12, of course).

GMG!
