No, it's nothing new. But it might help if Mean Green Nation makes its presence known civilly but plainly in the comments section. http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/college-sports/headlines/20140717-incoming-talent-which-freshmen-might-make-quick-impact-for-texas-tcu-tech-am-ou-baylor-smu.ece

But ya'll aren't plural. ..just one fan....unless it's a possessive...

For those of you who aren't on Twitter or didn't see this... It's a great conversation from today that I believe speaks volumes of where the program is heading. The sleeping giant is starting to wake! We are still calling on @espn_macmahon to join the Mean Green Club! — MeanGreenClub (@MeanGreenClub) July 18, 2014 @MeanGreenClub Your AD told me I'd be getting a phone call. Haven't seen 940 pop up yet. — Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) July 18, 2014 @espn_macmahon Hey @Eric_Capper lets make it happen! — MeanGreenClub (@MeanGreenClub) July 18, 2014 You may have to hold his hand through the process...

These past couple years have been a lot of fun and it's getting even better. Get your tickets and GO MEAN GREEN!

Stupidest statement by a coach in 2014. The P5 " mythical" national championship between 4 picked teams is a farce made for TV. If the BB FINAL FOUR had only picked 4 teams which of the ones that made it would have been there with the exception of Florida? Unless you decide a champion on the field among 16 teams with all 1-A conference champions represented and the remainder being from the highest ranked BCS teams this farce is only minutely better than the previous " National Championship".

They only put a few seats up for sale on ticketmaster. Check the FAU or FIU games to see how few they put up. Ticketmaster is not a good indicator.

It's deliberate. Someone at the helm is making this decision.

Don't let up on the comments and emails to DMN for leaving them out. Someone high up with connections needs to call them out for this continued behavior. Leaving out UNT is SOMEONES decision.

Pfff me and Brett Vito were at North Texas games WAY before it was cool...

I have to give malonish some credit here, compared to some other non UNT posters he has been pretty good fun and mostly respectful. so far at least.

Please be civil in commenting.

How are the sales of the SMU tickets going?

Emmanuel Mudiay’s camp keeps saying he had no eligibility concerns. That, quite simply, is untrue. Here’s why: http://t.co/h0R9qSzSSd — Gary Parrish (@GaryParrishCBS) July 19, 2014

Would love that. This week we finished our 2015 schedule announcing a home and home with Vanderbilt. We have 2 spots open starting in 2016. Let's get it done.

Really really really need a good season this year.

No prob. I'll figure it out. Worst case, Jub Jub and Hank online.

I have it on good authority that the student/young alumni side will have Stones, High Life, and Natty Light. The alumni side will have Shiner, the usuals, Michelob Ultra and Metamucil. Ha Ha, love the negative vote on the Talon comment. Are they even still around other than the cannon crew?

Pres. Obama would do good to watch this and learn from it. I would hope he takes a similiar tact when (actually, if) he addresses the nation on this matter in a couple of days. "Massacre". "Crime against humanity". "No justification, legal or moral, for what the soviets did" "this was the Soviet Union against the world" "act of barbarism born of a society which wantonly disregards individual rights and the value of human life" "they owe the world an apology" True then, and true now. Pres. Obama should memorize and re-issue this speech. He won't, because he doesn't want to provoke Putin. Worst foreign policy president since Jimmy Carter.

Heck, there are some things I prefer about Apogee. For example: 1. I prefer the all concrete support structure. Steel supports are perfectly fine, but if we had the budget, I would have preferred concrete. 2. I prefer how close to the field the first row of seats are at Apogee. At the 50 yard line, the first row at Houston is probably 10-15 feet further away from the sideline than Apogee. 3. I prefer Apogee's LEED platinum certification, and the incorporation of the windmills for power needs. 4. I prefer that Apogee was built right next to the interstate. We looked at an interstate location, but ruled it out due to space constraints and infrastructure expense. Certain differences were dictated by needs and location. For example: 1. North Texas apparently needed banquet space. And so a large portion of the club is a dedicated to that banquet room with all the windows. It looks very nice, but we already had banquet facilities. Our club level will look totally different. Much more of an upscale bar feel. 2. The UH stadium is located 3 miles from downtown Houston right in the middle of campus. North Texas is located in a smaller town. The settings and views, not to mention the parking situation, are completely different. Simply due to stadium placement, we have 3800 parking spots within 250 yards of the stadium. The land chosen by UNT for Apogee apparently doesn't lend itself to that kind of parking access. Certain differences were design choices that aren't "right" or "wrong" but will evoke opinons based on personal preference: 1. Placement of premium seats; 2. Horseshoe vs. bowl 3. Open concourses vs. vomitories. We each have our controversial bits: 1. The mesh skin exterior at UH; 2. The winged end zone at North Texas. Certain things are very similar: 1. Lots of concessions and restrooms; 2. TV monitors at every concession stand; 3. Wide concourses; 4. Lots of leg room between rows; 5. Lower seating below grade; 6. Field turf, etc. And certain things are just grander at the Houston stadium, which you would expect given the price difference: 1. The video board is twice as big; 2. The club seats are padded; 3. We have five times as many chairback seating options including loge boxes, party decks and suite decks; 4. We incorporated our marching band facilities into the football stadium. As I said originally, I really like Apogee Stadium. I think y'all did a terrific job with it. And there are certain things about it that I prefer over our stadium. Would I trade stadiums with you? Nope. But then I am biased, and I would expect UNT fans to decline a trade based on bias too.

Was looking at the roster & noticed some new names: AJ Ezzard, RB from Southlake Carroll Cedric Fernandes, DB from Arlington Martin Stephen Gehringer, DL from Deer Park & Midwestern State Cannon Maki, FB from FW All Saints Anyone have any knowledge on any of these players?

Wow. You are so profoundly wise. People are sick of the perception of the douchebags at places like the DMN. That's why they are pissed off. I seriously doubt anyone read this on a piece of paper either. If you think newspapers aren't dying off then you live in a bubble.

Papers ARE a thing of the past. News/Sports web pages like the one that published this article that everyone went to and commented on? Not so much.

Exactly. Screw 'em.

Can't link twitter on my iPad but per his twitter he has committed! You talk about a talent pool you want to get a foothold in.

Scrolled through the entire college sports "headlines" section and didn't find a single write-up on UNT. That's just strange. I've always thought/known the DMN to be better rag, overall, than the Houston Chronicle (which isn't saying much) but to the Chron's credit, their sports section not only covers the UT/A&M/RICE/UH stuff, but also lends space to HBU, Lamar, SHSU and SFA. This is embarrassing. For us and for the DMN.

Yep. Blocking out and defense has always been the #1 cause of fights. Absolutely no reason for that kid to play a down, certainly for this year. Coach Bro already selling his soul.

Surely the conference won't go O-fer the first two weeks. Almost sure wins: Old Dominion over Hampton, Marshall over Miami (OH), MTSU over Savannah State, FIU over Wagner Probable wins: FIU over Bethune Cookman, UTEP over UNM, UNT over SMU, Southern Miss over Alcorn State Good shots: WKU over Bowling Green

Says the former sailor...

Leave the hookers alone. What did they ever do to you?

Yeah, you're probably worn out from trying to find a hooker to kill.

Good thinking, June. Let's see the USFL lasted about five years. Do you think that the gang of five could last that long?

People from this board should write comments to call them out for this b.s.

True...you all does sound pkural...unless you all is just one person...

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/ba6f6b020a/weird-al-yankovic-sports-song This explains both our teams accurately

Ya...He should go back to dealing with his inner city missions...

Uh... Nevermind.

Its funny to see all of their trash talking when Highland Park's football team is respected more than the Ponies. I cant wait to take the dub and their women on Sept. 6th.

Obama condemns Russia after airliner downed in Ukraine http://news.msn.com/world/obama-condemns-russia-after-airliner-downed-in-ukraine "an outrage of unspeakable proportions" Now '90 will bash President Obama for harsh rhetoric.

We have to win this game because we simply have a better football team. We will be favored on the 6th. If SMU wins this game it will be an upset. That's why we have to win.

Haha, I am just happy administration got it done to be honest. Whatever beer not named natty light or Milwaukees best I'll have a couple.

BRILLIANT!

Great job as always, Greg. I have some questions about the depth chart. Very interesting that you had Wade ahead of Warner at FS. I'm sure health played a lot into that decision for you. You had Whitfield behind Jones, which he's probably our first corner off the bench regardless of side, but Whitfield has been short side of the field corner where Buyers is, while Chad Davis is on the short side behind Jones. On the d-line you had Moore behind Orr at nose, and Tauaalo behind Lincoln at 3-tech. Moore was listed behind Lincoln at the 3-tech coming out of spring and he's more of a penetrator than a block-eater at 252 lbs, so I'd think Tauaalo is more fitting at nose behind Orr. On offense you had Harris outside and Kidsy in the slot. Is that more opinion of where you think they should be or has there been a position change? Because it was the other way coming out of spring. Also, I'm interested to see if this late JUCO signee Darren Dennuci starts at right tackle and they move Lemon back inside. McKinney looks solid, so we're good either way, but you usually don't sign a 23 year-old JUCO kid to develop. So I'm sure he'll be given a shot. If Greer starts at qb and can keep his interceptions down to 7 like you project, that would be great news for us going forward. Anyways, I don't get to talk in-depth about our roster like this very often, even on here. So it's cool to see other views and outlooks on our roster.

Lucky for the DFW fans they have the option of showing up in person.

From the story on CBS 11 Wait. What? Seriously? So why the delay? I've heard so many Denton County Sheriff this, TABC that, against state law here, etc. So what it really boiled down to for three years was, "Because think of the children?"

Totally agreed. At least they are showing up and drinking. Same for the sorority girls. Everybody talks about UNT hitting 40,000 students soon and people on here give the Greeks crap about their attendance. How about the mass numbers of lazy ass students who don't show? Same goes for the population of Denton or alumni. Y'all need to stop giving fraternities sh$t for showing up.

All that hate. Let them have their fun. Amazing how that 100 people on the Hill piss people off more than the thousand in their dorm or the hundred thousand that live in Denton.

He's just a dumb hick. Oh, wait, wrong president... Right?

Why do you hate yourself so so much?

Shocker. Deion isn't an educator. He's not even a good role model. Typical that he passed the blame and showed zero accountability except to throw money around. I hope it stays closed. That school is a punchline.

Best thing to happen to real education in Texas. Mudiay couldn't qualify because Prime Prep is nothing but an athletic factory. I feel sorry for the kids who are taken advantage of by this "school."
