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.

ESPN

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

it would definitely be your garden variety bowl game.

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

Y'all are troopers.

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

I would add an FCS game in most of those years. We need wins and 6 home games per year. What we don't need are two ass poundings per season and 5 home games.

so are you claiming it is not 2012 or are you claiming that TxState is not actually adding those seats and that the images on that webcam are false and the news story is false as well?

:clapping: :goodjob: :bow: Hopefully not too much of this

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

What, only 6-2, 196? Another project? Warning: sarcasm alert.

Prayers for one of the greatest warriors I ever saw in a Mean Green uniform. Rick

I exchanged messages with his wife Michelle tonight. She wanted me to pass on to you her appreciation for your thoughts and prayers. She said it was a tough day, but he's "well on his way to recovery". She said if you'd like to send him a get well wish, feel free to do so via email - PM me for his address, as I don't want to post it on the public forum.

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.

So then it's your opinion that Neil Patrick Harris should be sent to the electric chair?

Damn!! You got me. And I loved that movie. Jean Girard was really kind of the hero, while Ricky Bobby was the anti-hero, who only achieved hero status by kissing Jean Girand in the end...

Well, they are under the radar right now, but there are lots of players every year who are under the radar after their junior year, but whose stocks rise considerably after their senior year. That is the point. Why don't we wait and see how they perform and who is interested next winter before crying about the sky falling. Conversely, the college ranks are filled every year with 3 and 4 star recruits who had great junior seasons, thereby drawing lots of interest, but who fizzle when they reach college. It is a little crazy to get too excited either way about a kid who hasn't even had his senior season yet.

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.

Reserving judgement until you post your picture on here. I'm betting Anwar is not only the better coach...

If they were demostrated world beaters, they would have lots of other offers. That is the point.

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.

With a price tag of $85M, from what the person in the DRC wrote, it would be pretty hard to fund from only Hotel/Motel Tax. Denton has a fund balance of just over $500,000 currently in its Hotel/Motel fund. Last year revenues were about $1.5M while expenditures were about $1.2M. Bonds would have to be issued and it could be funded partially by Hotel/Motel Tax and partially by the General Fund.

I don't get the outrage. Signing day is still 9 months away and we are upset over our first two commits. If these two are projects, and there is no proof they are, then I think we are probably fine. We still have 23 more spots to fill with "highly rated" prospects. These guys have yet to play their senior season. Maybe we could wait to call these bad decisions until they have played one game this season and we can see what they are capable of on the field. These two could both end up being much more highly regarded by time to sign on the line for a school, and it could very well be somewhere else, given how recruiting works. Then we can bitch and moan about how we lost some great prospects and the coaching staff can't close.

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?

Man, what a terrible idea.

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!
