THOR · July 12, 2012

so can we get the full size posters at the athletic center??? don't want to steal one from a local establishment.

I've seen the posters at the ticket office recently

Go with God Emmitt. Peace be unto you.

UNT90 · July 12, 2012

Can you pencil us in a 6th home game?

UNT 90 Grad · July 12, 2012

Are there game times on those posters?

emmitt01 · July 12, 2012

It took literally 2 hours to put a poster up in 30+ businesses. Only two establishments told us "no"....most gave a resounding yes. Talked to three differen people who seemed swayed to come to games this season because we talked to them face to face.

Not on payroll at NT, yet the first people to walk through the door to ask if we could hang a schedule up.

You are a good man and a better Mean Green supporter, Emmitt.

Fixed it.

Outstanding job Emmitt!!! Now that's f'n initiative!!!

KRAM1 · July 13, 2012

Emmitt...GREATNESS! Volunteering because you love to help out something you believe in is indeed...God's work! You have my appreciation and respect for doing this...thanks so much. Great idea.

It would be a tad interesting to know who said "no"...and perhaps why? Not to boycott them, but to hopefully find out why and see if we can't change their minds...or maybe it was a business that felt such "decor" would be inappropriate.....who knows.

But, I am sure you got a lot more saying "yes" than no! Great stuff Emmitt.....THANK YOU! :thumbsu: :goodjob:

If only you could do this without begging for praise

Personally, I'm glad to know about it. And maybe it will provide some motivation to other individuals to do more.

I see you came out from under that bridge for some sunlight.

As twho said no, it was a loan place who said their "corporate policy wouldn't allow it" and a veterinarian who just seemed like a grumpy lady. 90% of the people though were very accomodating.

Emmitt,

While doing the “Lord’s work” have you had a chance to work with that Football coach from SMU?

SilverEagle · July 13, 2012

You don't know the difference between begging for praise and giving everyone a heads up that the posters are available? Well, what can one expect from someone that refuses to acknowledge the rightful name of our school's mascot.

Emmitt is not the only person that stops by local businesses to give them an opportunity to show their support for the Mean Green. I have a standing reservation for a Mean Green poster at one of the local (and best) Saginaw donut shops......and it happens to be owned by a TCU grad. This time of year the owner's wife always starts bugging me for a new Mean Green poster.

Thanks Emmitt for the heads up!
