That game would get tossed quickly.

How about the "No One Cares What GL2Greatness Thinks Forum" ?

Great. Now other defensive backs are going to think this is "normal."

Dig deeper. Their website also talks about additional tiers in place effective this 2012 season that will expand Bobcat Stadium to a 29,500 capacity. EDIT: link

Dear Lord. You guys are too much sometimes... Welcome to UNT Mr. Minor! See you at Apogee!

While we're not exactly a cozy conference, the distance to regional rivals won't be bad and North Texas has the fewest miles to travel to its six regional members. Here are the following average one-way mileages to other division members: North Texas 338 Rice 356 Louisiana Tech 379 Charlotte 381 UTSA 382 East Carolina 442 Tulsa 455 UAB 475 Marshall 476 Old Dominion 506 Tulane 514 Southern Miss 610 UTEP 699 FIU 728

It's doing what parents have to do.

Did you ever pay your FINRA fines Phillip? Question, no info.

Two very memorable seasons for my wife and I to attend every Mean Green road football game.... 2010 Season - 11,142 miles 2011 Season - 7,562 miles

If it was done often, there would be no early committing at all. What would be the point?

2011 Season - 5,264 miles and 84 hours driving. Didn't go to FIU. All of it was AFTER attending Friday night football game. With 7 road games this year, I will easily break my Personal Record.

OK H-town --- I thought we made it very clear that you were only supposed to react based on the “OMG the sky is falling and Coach Mac has no Clue”. All kidding aside, SYSTEMS take time to implement. Coach seems to have the belief that we need SPEED. Now how much does the balance between speed and “proven” skills need to be weighed at this time – I have no idea; but I will have faith in Coach Mac and crew. Another area that I think some are overplaying (for now) – We just got invited to C-USA and the (hopeful) benefit of that is not going to be overnight. Remember we are not the only ones who just stepped up. TCU, SMU, and UTSA along with the Mean Green have a better home to sell. Last thing. I believe that Coach Mac is respected enough that these two commitments will need to be continually worked on. If they turn out to be good choices then just as was the case last year others will try and pick off our recruits.

Appreciate your adding such a thoughtful and in depth analysis to the discussion MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE PUT THE TITLE IN ALL CAPS ?

It's really fairly simple.If Mac didn't want um, they wouldn't have been offered.

This is not the world of recruiting in this day and age. It's earlier and earlier every year. You can't wait to see how a kid does after his senior year, you do that and you have very little to chose from. Texas was the leader in the change and they've since fallen behind the curve in the fact that they don't offer kids who are 2 years out, they will change that very soon. They have too in order to keep up. Most programs in fact do not wait till they see kids perform in their senior seasons before offering. You have to get in early, and being in early or first means something to some kids. Kids have a good camp somewhere and offers start rolling in. It doesn't take long for a kid to go from 0 offers to 10. Why would you want to be offer number 6 if you knew what the kid had when he was still at 0? Take Andrew Billings for example, a DT out of Waco. We offered him, we were in fact one of the first if not the first to offer, and this was awhile ago. On April 5th he had 8 offers, including the NT offer by May 23 he had 19 and now on June 6th he has well surpassed that and just today received an offer from UT. You snooze you lose.

Yep, my damn phone went to Harvard.

Ya...hyperbole has no place in a legislative discussion. Also...I love how your phone correctly spells the most advanced word in your reply, yet butchers a first grade level word and racially profiles a police officer.

I mean, unless in fact you are gay.

I'm sure he is an excellent coach... He just has a goofy look to him. Like a Ron Washington or Stan van gundy

You've called this young man and the young man from Paris "deep deep diamond in the rough kinda guys" and "Sun Belt projects." Have you seen either of these young men play? Have you talked to their coaches? Do you make your living evaluating football talent? Just trying to figure out how you decided these guys are such projects.

You can coach technique...you can't coach speed. You cannot turn a slow guy into a fast guy. You can turn a fast guy into a football player...anyone else remember Bob Hayes? One reason the Mean green lost so many games in the last few years is that the team as a whole WAS SLOW! I mean real slow....so, give me a little speed and I'm thinking the rest Coach mac and Co. can take care of...no, I am not talking about a kid who cannot spell football and has no experience. You know what I mean here. And, if you think Coach Mac and Co. is not going after the highly recruited guys as well...you are sadly mistaken. If anyone here thinks that after one year and a 5 win season that 4 & 5 star recruits are going to be flocking to UNT, you are NUTS! It's a process...UNT will get "left at the alter" more often than not right now with these highly rated guys, but UNT IS recruiting them...and that's a start. Just because UNT is now a CUSA team and that certainly does help...it will not open the flood gates to tons of 5 and 4 star guys! Patience grasshopper, patience. What I want is progress...positive progress and I saw that last year and I have seen that in spring ball this year...we'll see how the recruiting battles play out and we'll all get to judge success on the field.

Nothing is stopping you from holding that press conference... other than the fact that no one gives an s.

Do your parents know you're gay? Yes or no.

Y'all are troopers.

That wasn't the question...Do you like your job?

Here are the air distances from North Texas to other CUSA opponents: Tulsa 212 Rice 259 Louisiana Tech 265 UTSA 271 Tulane 476 Southern Miss 476 UTEP 551 UAB 598 Marshall 898 East Carolina 1139 FIU 1139 FIU was the most distant in the Sun Belt and is tied for the most distant in CUSA. Ironically, both Tulane and Southern Miss are the same distance from Denton. Highway mileage would change these but not substantially. Eight are driveable in a day. I've driven to both El Paso and Birmingham in roughly ten hours over worse roads. That's a great pact. Hopefully, you can get at least a hundred involved in that for our first year in CUSA. Tulsa and Southern Miss are the closest thing to "bell cows" that we'll have but at least half can be solid franchises; even more if they can get the commitment from their administration.

They grow a lot of produce near San Antonio, so how about bringing back the Salad Bowl.

And we still have a few months before kick off. I love the off season !!

Again, just curious as to how you arrived at your assessment of their abilities.

You snooze you may lose, or you may offer a ship to someone that nobody else wants including NT after a less than stellar senior year. You look at NT past recruiting and it is very hard to make the case that the early commits or better or even equal to the ones committed in the last few weeks of recruiting. The coaching staff sees something in everyone they go after, the question in this case is do the coaches believe that these two linebackers are better prospects than a bunch of more higher rated players or are they just settling for someone down the list because that is were they currently are in recruiting. I don't know the answer to that and it is a question that no coach is going to truefully respond to if it is the later situation.

As exciting as the public policy sub-debate is the numbers are wrong. Denton pulls in $2 million dollars a month in taxable hotel revenue, that's something like $1.7 million a year in hotel occupancy taxes. So I'm betting Denton can pay the debt service on it's share of the convention center without tapping the General fund.

Why hasnt this been moved to the... No One Cares About Texas State forum

Don't recall asking you to do anything. Don't recall you even being a part of the conversation until this post. It seems we have education and time on GMG.com in common. That must really burn your @ss?

Is this really a surprise? I mean, think about it. Do all these super heroes really need to wear such aerodynamic gear( tights)?. Some of them don't even fly.

What agenda? REAL LIFE. There a Gay people in the world. Some are good, some are bad. You are just chumming the waters waiting for the Sharks to feed for your enjoyment. I've figured your agenda out.

This is where I disagree. The kid from Paris just got invited to A&Ms upcoming camp with interest from others including SMU, Tulsa and Arkansas. Sometimes being first in is all it takes to get a kid, I don't see why we should wait for others to make an offer first.mdoesnt make much sense if you feel he is worthy of a ship. Tulsa has 5 commits thus far, three of which had no other offers yet are 3* recruits. We didn't offer any of their prospects. Rice has 0 commits, La Tech 1 commit, UTEP 1 commit. This is who were competiting against at this time. It would be nice to go against SMU, UH, and Baylor and win a recruiting battle but sadly that's not where we are at this point. So if you nd others want to say that after 2 recruits that this class is not looking good then be my guess. All I know is we haven't had many 6'3 LB's with blazing speed come through here lately.

Who in the hell, said anything about winning recruiting battles against the teams you named. Yes, I do follow recruiting; do you? At this point; I would be happy winning a few against the Tulsa, La Tech, and the like. I also wonder about reactions to almost anything mentioned that has to do with recruiting, if it isn't rave reviews. I stated both commits thus far were lightly recruiting but had great potential. What in that statement do you disagree with? These are obviously players that Mc and company think can help the program. However, my comment was not related to them; as much as Mac overall recruiting to date; a lot of "under the radar", "hidden jewel", type of players. Nobody at this point knows if McCarney and Company are any better evaluating talent than the norm; that will take a couple of years. Maybe most of you didn't expect any better recruiting than early Dodge or Dickey; but I did. So far I have not seen that, maybe it will happen this year. NT has a great new stadium, by far the highest paid football staff in history, and a new conference; factors that should help in recruiting. No, I don't expect NT to have success against the football powers or even SMU at this point but I do think they better start winning a lot of recruiting battles against their future and current conference mates. I am fairly consistent with my recruiting assessment, I have questioned a lot of classes and been told by many like you how wrong I am. Problem is that all those recruiting classes that have been raved about by many have resulted in a lot of poor teams.

There are homosexuals in the world. Even homosexual Conservative Republicans. (Log cabin Republicans), Robert "Bob" Kabel & Jill Homan, recently elected gay party members to post in the D.C. Republican party and many others http://www.nbcwashington.com/blogs/first-read-dmv/DC-Elects-First-Openly-Gay-Republican-Party-Leaders-146209325.html. Why wouldn't Comics attempt to show diversity among the characters so there is realastic reader appeal?

Why not?

They talk a lot. They just never DO anything. Unless it's a program that isn't making them money. Auburn, Miami, Ohio St. Just walked away. CUSA teams would have faced huge consequences. The NCAA is a joke.

I agree. And it seems "out of character" for the NCAA, given how they talk about keeping the coaches under control. Was I under the wrong impression?

Only in the 6th overtime.

Do spreads still mean anything when we play FIU?

Would take -2 againsts MUTS in a heartbeat.

My main and personal concern here is that he lied! Why? Seems to me that he would have no reason to do so. The guy has a bachelor's degree and can coach basketball. Seems to me that's what matters in coaching. So, where is the motivation to lie about a Master's Degree? My guess....it started as being listed that he was working on a Master's and over time got "changed" to reflect completion of that degree and he never changed it even after he saw it...may have happened when posted to some web site...who the heck knows. But, lying is still a BIG DEAL to me....yes, i know...even in this day and age. But, when I see lying about something, I wonder what else is being hidden. Not a good thing. I do think he will find another coaching job fairly quickly as the guy can coach basketball. A role model in honesty he may not be, but he can coach basketball. The next school will know what they are getting and he'll probably not make this mistake a gain. I am sure JJ was not happy.

When I see co-eds in short shorts, white shirts and cowboy boots at UNT games, my thoughts NEVER, and I mean NEVER, turn to stinky feet! I do wonder about you!
