While working the Mean Green Club Phone-A-Thon this evening some good news was shared with me. At this point in the year we are over $100,000 ahead of last year's Mean Green Club donations pace AND We are ahead of last year's pace in football season ticket sales as well.

For me, this was excellent news. Here's hoping that donations and season ticket sales continue on this pace.

Lots of calls made this evening by Mean Green Club volunteer reps and members of the Mean Green coaching staffs. Thanks to all who volunteered their time to help The Mean Green and thanks to all who actually took our calls and committed support for the Mean Green in 2013-2014.

It was a positive experience and a good chance to talk with fellow Mean Greener's.

On a side note...everyone I contacted pledged support and were very positive in their comments. Really made me proud to be a member of the great Mean Green Nation!

That's awesome. We're still only going to drop a couple hundred bucks here and there for the next couple of years until all of the student loans, etc are paid off but as we try to help grow the alumni base I'd like to know how I can help connect long-lost alums if possible. We can talk more about this later, but can you share info on how the rest of us can "sell" the MGC. I must admit I'm a bit "green", haha, on exactly what MGC donors get at different levels though I am familiar with it overall as a booster organization. I would resign this to a side conversation but in case others want to help develop the network, it could be useful information for all.

Well, I didn't want to brag, but I did kick several thousand "extra points" on my membership renewal this year. No need to thank me.<br /><br />But seriously, athletics hasn't called me in a while. I guess because I already renewed. But boy howdy do other campus departments call me. I like regaling tales to one in particular about hard difficult their inept bureaucracy made my life and how callous and uncaring they were about it. I also like dropping specific names as being personally responsible for my checks going to athletics, not them.<br /><br />I did, however, receive a letter from Shelby Tamura yesterday thanking donors and briefly describing her experiences as a student athlete at North Texas. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I do like to see kids taking true advantage of the opportunity.

Coach Benford called me...I had just renewed earlier in the day.

Thanks, drex...never any question about your support for the Mean Green. I heard part of that conversation last evening. Way cool. I think Coach Benford first got your bride on the line and she expertly handed the call off to you.

It was great having several members of the coaching staffs calling with the volunteers last evening. The basketball programs were well represented with Coaches Petersen, Benford, Lundy, Evans and Luster calling and I also saw, from football, Coaches Brown and Joseph. I certainly did not see all who participated as I was on the first row of phones in the phone bank while others were above me on the second row.

I can tell you one thing...Coach Petersen is tough to have next to you when you are on the phone and he is also...that guy is Loud! Ha. Just ask Silver Eagle. I was trying to talk with him with Coach Petersen on the phone next to me. I am certain that Silver thinks I am deaf. Also got to chat with MedPilot21. Thanks for answering the phone guys...and as with drex, I appreciate your continuing support for the Mean Green.

And...Oldguy....you are correct, we were not calling folks who had already renewed....appreciate your getting your renewal in with that increase...thanks a bunch.

Go Mean Green!

I was kidding about the increase. What I gave last year was a little bit of a stretch. A little easier this year.

If you are talking about Benford's bunch, it is possible we get close!

I was kind of mad at myself for laughing at that.

Thanks for your support. If you pick up the phone next year, I'll gladly pass you off to the closest coach. When I called you, I was sitting next to Coach Benford.

      Appreciate the recap

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Team transportation to San Antonio

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"
