At least you care.

i mean... i know the game wasn't that well attended last year, but the word got out on where UNT and Middle Tenn stood next to each other last year, right?

Kelly Green is pretty vague. Heres the exact colors ,which you can have matched/made The official green is Pantone Matching System (PMS) 356. The four-color process (CMYK) equivalent is 100 percent cyan, 0 percent magenta, 100 percent yellow and 33 percent black When printing on uncoated paper such as newspaper, use Pantone 355.

what is the official shade of green that we use? I'm making Cornhole boards for tailgating this year and need to get them painted.

I don't think Karl Benson understands the playoff system

Fixed.

I like that, at my Office we have about 25% that are Cancers.

Emmit, thanks for your hard work. What bothers me is that our AD does not do this kind of work. Emmitt holds down a full tome job, yet he can find the time to distribute football posters. C'mon AD, use some of your payed employees to do this type of work.

If SMU is this great with so much support and money why have they embarrassingly sucked the last 20+ years? Look the RV to SMU thread was only posted because the only thing SMU has is lots of cash to money whip people to come there and that is apparently not working out that well because they just got a bball coach who will pass on to the next plane any moment and a football coach who was dying to get the hell out of there but had to stay when his would be employer shunned him in the last minute. You can tout SMU all you want but it is quite laughable because you make it sound like SMU is light years ahead of UNT...it is pretty clear you have this grudge against us and I don't know how or why that is but I encourage you to come out to our games and enjoy the tailgating and get to know us. Hopefully you'll stop being this bitter little biatch and get that stick out of your ass.

High School : Arlington Grace Prep ( Formerly @ Plano West) AAU: Athlete's 1st RIVALS SCOUT Contacted by UNT staff. Under the rader prospect right now due to the fact he plays(ed) behind the likes of Emmauniel Mudiay & Jelon Hornbeak. Should see an increased role this year with the Hornbeak off to OU. His stock should rise as Grace Prep will be one of the better teams in the nation with Mudiay & Jordan Mickey returning

I got NCAA Football 13 in the mail today. I haven't played since really NCAA 13 2004 about five years ago. Apogee Stadium looks terrific but still no UNT fight song. I played one quick exhibition game and was matched up with Arkansas State. UNT jumped out in front 12-0 (took me awhile to figure out how to kick). ASU got a touchdown but we came back with a field goal right before the half to make it 15-7 at the half. The third quarter was scoreless but half way through the fourth we kicked our second field goal to make it 18-7. With about three minutes left ASU got a short touchdown run but missed fired on the try for two, 18-13. We took over and got one first down but had to punt, pinning ASU inside their 20. However, two big plays and they were at the UNT 40. Then we had the play of the game with under a minute left. ASU completed a long pass down the middle of the field but the receiver was stripped of the ball inside the five yard. We then kneeled once to run out the clock. Final: UNT 18, ASU 13. Now that I've got to learn how to actually play this game. The real point of this thread is this: Apogee Stadium looks terrific (complete with wind turbines) but still no UNT fight song.

In Denton right now putting up football schedule posters all over Denton

Lack of institutional control. Reached to the top of the administration and was complicit with the football leadership. It is the most heinous NCAA violation in the history of college athletics. Shut it down and fire or reassign everyone in the AD or offer retirement package to those with merit. Others complicit should go to prison after FBI gets involved. Open transfers for all scholarship athletes, or full scholarship to PSU but no football.

At least we have a seat on the bus !

i noticed they really cut FIU & UNT media time and spent a whole lot more time with Georgia State & Texas State. They were also passing out 2013 maps of SBC. very odd Benson though it was really cool how many games they were getting with ESPN 3, How can you get excited about that? We cant get to CUSA quick enough

All-Conference, poll

I had no idea that smut and Baylor were state universities.

I see what you did there.

If there walk ons then they get no aid. I doubt if Penn State has no unworthy transfer players and if they do Penn State should have to honor the scholarship.

Tristian left the Toros. I talked to him about it on twitter and he said he wanted to take a year or so off. This was last fall.

Its fine and dandy to say "let all the players transfer" but what about the walkons and non transfer worthy guys? They can suck it right?

I'm just glad we're not on ESPN 8 - The Ocho.

tailgating Media Day sounds like a much better idea than tailgating the erection... of the pedestrian bridge

Not "just someone's" opinion... All of the SBC coaches. Nice to know they will all be overlooking us. Unless he's injured again this year, Zach Orr will be on the 1st team post-season all-conference list, if not defensive MVP.

There are some rough spots but I'm hoping for a patch to sort them out.

I was noticing that the UNT football uniforms look great on NCAA 13. Then I realized it's because they are slightly darker than what we actually use. I wish our real uniforms were this shade. In other news ... last night I wholloped SMU 42-28. We got two defensive touchdowns after causing the quarterback to fumble. SMU recovered consecutive onside kickoffs to make it even that close at the end.

Kelly green

Well, well...looks like the SMUt boys have a real Hart on now.

awesome work grayeagle! check your pm.

FWIW : HART

Mag,Tasty & I made the trip to check the OFY Super 64 this weekend and check out Birt and a few others. Nothing really stood out about him other than his bright shoes. He has the look of a very legitimate DI prospect. 6'5 , pretty well built and can handle the ball. I believe it was was his very time playing with Shoytyme so I'm willing to cut him some slack. Big E's squad was pretty stacked with talent.

http://southcarolina.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1385399 PF Soma Edo, 6-foot-5 Richardson (Texas) Berkner 2013: Edo is far from the most skilled player at the Adidas Invitational. He doesn't have a true position as an undersized power player, and he isn't someone that the big schools are necessarily tracking at this point. But he is far and away the premier athlete playing in Indianapolis. The forward routinely made plays above the rim on Saturday, including an alley-oop finish that he caught and slammed home just a few inches from the top of the backboard. Edo brought the crowd, and even some typically reserved college coaches, to their feet in warmups as he threw down consecutive between-the-legs dunks; and then proceeded to produce a double-double on the court in a Dallas Mustangs' overtime loss to Dream Vision in the quarterfinals.

Todd Dodge would be proud...and unemployed.

Memories of Derrick Thompson's freshman year (or, should I say one offensive series) come to mind. Redshirt Warner and let him heal.

Shouldn't this thread be in the "Gay" forum?

I appreciate you keeping me up on this. I'l be there at 9:30 pitching a tent. Is Johnson coming?

I usually don't go to all the trouble of a full tailgate. Usually a bottle of Jurgens, some cheetos and a quiet room will do.

"University of Toledo sports law professor Geoffrey Rapp said that until Saturday he didn’t think the crimes that resulted from the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal at Penn State fell under the purview of the NCAA. But that changed with CNN reporting the discovery of an email chain from February 2001 where Penn State officials agreed to speak to Sandusky about “future appropriate use of the University facility” and then contact officials at The Second Mile, Sandusky’s charity, and the Department of Welfare about the case. A day later, after talking to Joe Paterno, they had changed their minds. According to Rapp, if the football coach talked the athletic director — his direct superior — out of handling the situation a certain way, that presents a problem under NCAA regulations." Read the full article: http://blog.pennlive.com/patriotnewssports/2012/06/new_evidence_of_cover-up_shows.html

How is playing the season with all of the firestorm that will surround it be honorable? The very thing Paterno and his co-horts fought to save was Penn State football and his reputation. Abused kids with difficult circumstances in their lives who had been drawn into Sandusky's web with Penn State football was, at most, a secondary thought to them. It's what they loved most and what they protected - so, take it away from them. None of these Penn State fans has done anything honorable. You'd think among their monied donors that someone would stand up and say, "Look, this was embarassing and wrong, and we need to admit it and work to get past it. The focus shouldn't be football right now, but on helping these victims." Have any of Penn State's donors offered to start a fund for the abused kids? Has Penn State taken the step toward reconciliation and begun to offer some sort of recompense for these kids? How about something beyond money? How about offering to pay for the abused kids college or vocational education...at the college of their choice? There are so many things that the "wheels" at Penn State could be doing to show that they give a damn about the victims. Yet, everyone there is still bent on saving the program and excusing deplorable behavior. I don't think reality will hit those people unless what they misguidedly cherish the most is taken from them. NCAA president Emmert made clear in his letter last November that Penn State was being investigated for, among other things, "institutional control." The report yesterday shows that not only did the institution lack control, it refused to acknowledge it. Money and cars for athletes and letting boosters run wild is one thing. Allowing an employee of your institution to use a football program and the power and draw of the Penn State name as a means to abuse disadvantage kids is another. Both should be, and will be, punished by the NCAA. And, I'm sorry, but many people believe that only the most sever punishment will do. What is the price of beguiling a child and stealing his childhood, then covering it up? And, doing so to at least nine other children?

If I recall, the DA at the time is now governor of PA. Wanna impeach him as well?

It took literally 2 hours to put a poster up in 30+ businesses. Only two establishments told us "no"....most gave a resounding yes. Talked to three differen people who seemed swayed to come to games this season because we talked to them face to face. Not on payroll at NT, yet the first people to walk through the door to ask if we could hang a schedule up.

If you think that the NCAA should and will shut down the Football Program because of this horrible thing that occurred. You are wrong for two reasons: 1. The NCAA Stands for - National Collegiate Athletic Association. This means that it governs and penalizes on the basis of Collegiate ATHLETIC rules. The NCAA DOES NOT investigate or penalize CRIMINAL ACTS. What happened at PSU is a CRIMINAL ACT and is being handled as such by DA’s and Grand Juries etc. People say (here and elsewhere): “SMU's football program received the so-called death penalty decades ago for sports-related improprieties. This is worse. Far worse.” And yes, that is correct. They received the death penalty for SPORTS-RELATED-IMPROPRIETIES (multiple offenders at that...and like it or not this would be a first offense). This is WHY they received the death penalty. The NCAA can only hand out any penalty for SPORTS-RELATED-IMPROPRIETIES. Whether you, myself or anyone else likes it or not, they cannot hand out the death penalty for criminal activity. Take for example Baylor and their basketball program a few years ago. The NCAA gave penalties for SPORTS-RELATED-IMPROPRIETIES that were found amongst the investigation of a murdered basketball player. They DID NOT give penalties for the MURDER (Criminal Act). In this case the NCAA could (if found...though I have seen nothing) give penalties for SPORTS-RELATED-IMPROPRIETIES that were found in amongst the investigation of CHILD ABUSE (Criminal Act). But they WON’T and CAN’T give penalties for CRIMINAL OFFENSES. 2. The second reason that they won’t and can’t give any penalties is their Statute of Limitations. “NCAA 32.6.3 Statute of Limitations: Allegations included in a notice of allegations shall be limited to possible violations occurring not earlier than four years before the date the notice of inquiry is forwarded to the institution or the date the institution notifies (or, if earlier, should have notified) the enforcement staff of its inquiries into the matter.” Therefore, whatever investigation and violations that the NCAA finds would have to be from December of 2007 and forward. We're talking about stuff from well beyond that time frame right now.

RV is staying. He doesn't want to deal with douche bags like GL2Greatness on a daily basis at SMUt- University Park.

Feeding the trolls causes herpes? Question, no info.

Do you know how to read? This is not ponyfans.com Seriously, how pathetic is your life that the only thing that gets you off is to come to OUR board to talk trash.

Without listing reasons your wrong I'll just say this... SMU has consistently done less with more. UNT somehow finds a way to do more with less. I'll put my money on people like that all day and tomorrow. UNT is not the first program that had to start at the bottom in order to rise to the top. We are on our way, and we'll get there, brick by brick. You sir, are just an angry little troll with too much time on your hands.

Seriously, why are you here?
