Kick The Tires and Light The Fires...Or Something.

You know, I love this time of year.

Weather's kind of getting less hot. Kids are back in school. Nature is doing it's nature thing with the plants and birds and rocks and things.

It's all very very good, and while I don't really care much about blogging, I do enjoy college football, and it's time to ramp up for the next four months...

Game 11: WKU

Posted by LongJim , 17 November 2011 -

· 332 views

Great win for the MG last Saturday. It was interesting to read a thread on the board this week talking about what team you like to see UNT defeat the most in football. For me, it’s Troy, with MTSU a close second. Don’t like how they recruit, and love to hate ‘em.

So, for what that’s worth, it was terrific to see UNT pretty much dominate the Trojans last...

At Troy

What a strange past two weeks.

Hard to concentrate on UNT football with the chaos going on in conferences and in “what we thought were bastions of all that is good about college athletics”.

Nebuchadnezzar had his dream of a statue with feet of clay. Tragically, and the older I get, it seems that more and more idols have that...

Game 8: ULAMON and ULALA Aftermath

Posted by LongJim , 19 October 2011 -

· 205 views

An offense has to be able to score touchdowns to be successful. Right now, the UNT offensive team is unable to do that with any regularity at all. I guess I've been mildly surprised by the inability to run the ball when absolutely necessary, but in some ways, this is to be expected.

I hate to appear to be a masochist, but when you start 2 true...

Game 7: Lafayette and Chunks of FAU

Posted by LongJim , 13 October 2011 -

· 257 views

FAU was a game that UNT *should* have won, and it's a great sign that they took care of business. Unfortunately, in the past several years, UNT lost many games they had in the bag due to last minute collapses. Although there was some reason to sweat and sing the “here we go again” song last Saturday, the Mean Green hung in there to take a game they...

Game 6: FAU

Posted by LongJim , 04 October 2011 -

· 167 views

UNT got pummeled in Tulsa last week. I don’t really have a problem playing McNulty, and I’ve hashed that out on the board, so won’t go into it here, but I take comfort in the fact that UNT fans here are just like other college fanbases in that they want success for their team, and usually can be counted on to knee-jerk a little. It’s the nature of the...

Hoosier Goo On Mean Green's Shoe--and other Big Hits

Posted by LongJim , 27 September 2011 -

Physical. Love to see it. I think the team is on the right track, and from the standpoint of desire, the MG had it in spades last Saturday. That performance was a good indicator of the standard that the new coaching staff has set for this program, in my opinion.

I love the image that this team is being created with. Physical. Intimidating. ...

Game 4: Indiana

Tuscaloosa—see you later.

UNT will have their hands full this weekend with an Indiana team that runs the hurry up offense in a very similar fashion to Houston. I can see this game becoming a bit of a shootout, but my gut tells me that the Mean Green have a good chance to pull the upset. Make no mistake—a win over Indiana would still be an upset--but UNT...

Realignment Blast From The Past: The Fall of the SWC

Posted by LongJim , 20 September 2011 -

· 174 views

The following was originally printed in the SA Express in 1999.

It's a good overview of how the SWC dissolved, and also gives some insight on what *might* be down the road in the current realignment that's taking place now, as you will get a sense of deja vu regarding the Ags, Horns, and Nebraska from this...

Apogee/Houston Bits and Game 3: Alabama

Posted by LongJim , 12 September 2011 -

Terrific time Saturday. Nice people, nice breeze, and truly a BIG TIME college atmosphere for UNT’s first game at Apogee.

Took the wife and kids to the festivities after spending the afternoon on the square at the car show. We were coming in from Teasley, so got a look at the traffic heading for Fouts, ducked down the street next to This Sud’s For You...
