Greetings from the Mean Green

Postby meangreenfan » Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:46 am

Hello Ponyfans. I wanted to jump in and say hello as we inch closer to our game in Denton this year.

I am not going to lie, our fans have a strong passion about playing SMU and this goes back quite a long time. Personally, I remember watching the SMU game in Denton in 1990. That was a standing only crowd at Fouts and it was a great game. Growing up in Houston, I was an SMU fan during the Ron Meyer regime. I am excited about the fact we have an ongoing series and I think it will be beneficial for both sides. We will bring a LOT of fans to your stadium. A good indicator of this is the crowd we brought to the Heart of Dallas bowl (39K) with a no-draw opponent UNLV. We have a lot of fans that won't drive to Denton but will attend a game in Dallas.

If you haven't found it yet our website is at http://gomeangreen.com/forums. We have already had a number of discussions about the game and more to come I'm sure.

One thing I wanted to mention, there is a big push for Denton County Transit Authority (DCTA) on UNT gamedays this football season with complimentary transportation services via the A-train and DCTA shuttles under the partnership of DCTA, UNT, and the Denton Convention & Visitors Bureau. I did this last year and you can take the green line on Dart to the Trinity Mills station where you can catch the A-Train right into the Denton Downtown Square and a shuttle to the stadium. It works great, and the Denton square scene is really fun with a lot of bars and restaurants you can visit. It's a fun way to get to the game without having to worry about driving.

Anyway -- that is all for now. Good luck this season to the Mustangs. Looking forward to the game!

What's a mean green? Is that like a bad case of diarrhea?

I like that we scheduled the UNT series. They will bring a good crowd to Ford and there's no reason we shouldn't beat them by at least two TDs every year.

Didn't they just finish building a new football stadium a few years ago. I thought I remember seeing construction last time I went through Denton.

Yes. Looks decent from the road and in the NCAA football video game.

Welcome to the board. Hope you continue to contribute leading up to and after the UNT game.

As an SMU fan I guess it is kind of neat that we are at least one school's nemesis. The vitriolic garbage spewed by a lot of UNT people towards SMU is crazy. Hey at least someone cares enough to hate us!
Back off Warchild seriously.
