How's this for cute Mark. I just called and double checked (you know, because clearly this was a typo). Yep, trick or treat event sponsored by NT Athletics on October 30. Now, please, spin more of

Well, he is a cop after all...cops are always right. Why? Because they have a gun on their hip. Never question a guy in person with a gun on his hip...just sayin.......

Ugh.

This is fascinating to me. Not only is it not on game night, but on a Wednesday evening. The night where a lot of kids have church events.

Oh... and just what every parent wants... going to be out late on Thursday (school) night already. Let's drag the kids out Wednesday night too. Brilliant.

My daughter is in the Jr Mean Green Club and they are doing a trick or treat event for the kids.

On October 30th. A day before the game.

Why not the day of the game? That is where we were planning on trick or treating... Otherwise my wife is going to make us go around the neighborhood and be late to the game.

Did anyone think to call and confirm the date before posting? Me, got no kids at home any longer, so not really worried about trick or treat, but seems a quick phone call would confirm the date.

Certainly hope this is a misprint. Who the heck would be there to hand out candy on the 30th anyway?

Nope. And if it's a misprint you have an entire Jr Mean green club full of kids thinking they're supposed to show up on the 30th

Thus a good idea to call...maybe a note can be sent with a correction...lots of time for that.

Right. Because the onus should be on the fans to double check their work rather than on the athletic department to avoid misinforming the fans. What of the parents who aren't motivated enough to double check and just say "screw it, we won't go"? That's their fault I'm assuming. Is the AD ever responsible for a mistake?

Probably the best example of a difference in perspective possible. Had I received the note my first thought would not have been "who screwed up", but that I had better call someone so the parents and kids will have it right as to date and to let folks know that a typo was made on the notice. THEN I would have posted the error and correction on GMG.com for folks with a note about the typo.

But, some seem to be so busy playing the blame game that it is more important to post a "got ya" instead of focusing on fixing it so the families will make sure to plan accordingly. Then, it became super fun because it became a double "got ya" as one was able to get in a cute little ditty about the AD...a backhanded slap at a second person.

Probably the best example I have seen here lately representing two different perspectives about most everything. I've been blamed for a lot of things in my professional and volunteer careers. Know what...the blame game never fixes anything, never improves anything and usually reflects more on the person doing the blaming than the folks being blamed. That "throw the first stone" thing often comes to mind.

But, of course, Mitzi...a simple call. Great seeing you guys last night and getting to see and hear Mason on the radio show. Really happy Mason is a member of the great Mean Green nation....well, same for you guys. Hope the drive back to Sulphur Springs was without issue. Hope to see you Saturday..and Go Mean Green!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
