Hope so. I'm sure some people are already working on or have finalized their NYE plans and have excluded anything Mean Green related since no details have been released.

This is so weird. The Prez's office has always had somebody who almost exclusively schedules and there are multiple other people on campus with similar jobs. How have they not found something awesome yet? Yeah, it doesn't affect me being so far away, and I usually just decide last minute on stuff like that when in town anyway, but just about everybody else (at least those who act like adults, hence my exclusion) seem to plan pretty far in advance for this stuff.

On the other hand, I've had a hard time reaching Rob, the events dude from the Alumni Association, so they may have him burning both ends of the candle to find something cooler than everybody expected. Our Alumni Association doesn't have many staff members, but holy crap, they get a lot done with very few people. I would just assume that there would be some campus-wide cooperation to get a bunch of the events-type people getting something done quickly. Maybe they were waiting until after graduation to spend a couple of days doing nothing else...?

Does anyone have any specifics on what the party at the Tower Club will look like? Will there be heavy hor dourves, open or cash bar, band? There are several high octane parties in downtown Dallas at Plush, Dream NYE 2014 at em Lounge. My group will already be in downtown Dallas staying at the Omni so I want to make sure all can attend and the $75 is hefty without knowing what to sell.

The Tower Club is awesome though and all may get some nice views of the fireworks at the NYE party.

Awesome, wish I could be there. I'd be all over that. Probably can't convince many people I know to do the NYE gala, but the pregame is a possibility. Are we assuming that kids are $15 each for that as well? I just don't know many 5- and 10-year-olds that would eat 2 breakfast tacos and a sausage/green chili stew burrito. Too bad there isn't like a "12 and under are $5 and get one taco" deal, which would make sense, then you would probably entice a lot more families. $75 for a family of 5 might steer some people away. Not mine, because I'd eat all the extra tacos and burritos, but still...

I was told today that you must purchase these tickets in advance. No walkups.

I really hope they reconsider that. I went to Baylor's last year at the Holiday Bowl and you could just walk right in and get food - or pay if you really wanted to.

We don't play in the secret wristband society of Fouts Field anymore. I would be really, really, really surprised if they actually refused admission. Only reason I could think that they would is that they didn't order enough breakfast tacos.

As for the NYE event, I can see that being a bit more stringent.

I suspect the reason they don't want walk-ups is that it is impossible to know how much food to produce. If you allow walk-ups the possibility of running out of food becomes a very real. Then people would roast the AD for not anticipating a larger group of people.

Just ordered tailgate tickets. It says will call. I'd assume they'll just have a list at the door?

Dude - get a kitchen pass! These bowl games only happen once every decade. I and others would like to meet you. At my advanced age I may not be around for the next one!! LOL

Yeah, I checked that schedule before ordering tickets. The green line runs on a Sunday schedule and starts at something stupid like 4am.

I cancelled my room in Dallas on NYE because the costs were just racking up too high. I was at nearly $250 before even getting a single drink or a cheese burger.

That is how it was explained to me on the phone. He said the tailgate tickets are sold online only because they will have a master list at the door/gate to make it easy.

The money wouldn't be an issue, the travel is though. I'm just concerned about trying to convince other people to pay $15 for each of their kids when they probably won't think it's worth it. But I'll be staying out here running an event to keep grinding away at getting people involved in Phoenix anyway. For selfish reasons I'd love to be there, but it's probably better for UNT if I keep getting people interested and involved out here.

Has anyone purchased the "Heart of Dallas Package" yet? When you click on it on the Ticketmaster website, select a quantity and hit continue, it shows section, row and seat numbers...like you're buying tickets to the game. Confusing.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
