I disagree that Tulane outhired us for head coach. Time will tell us if they did. We didn't "take a flyer", we took one of the top offensive coaches in all of college football. It's a great hire for us.

I have a feeling that Coach Littrell and his staff have recruiting under control. I do expect big recruiting news will come our way!

I have not seen this posted yet but I might have missed it. If you haven't already, take a look at the Baltimore Raven's "Wired" episode featuring our own Zach Orr. This is encouraging and I hope he continues to impress and becomes a solid starter linebacker for many years to come. We were lucky to have him in Denton. GMG. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Wired-Ep-15-Zachary-Orr-Micd-vs-Chiefs/dd7a7f06-9e6a-4f05-b0cf-5a0b72575283

Would have loved for him to come to UNT, but the immediate PT and 2 years to play at Grambling makes sense. I wish Devante well.

I just have to give a shout out to a bunch of great Mean Green folks I do not know, but we're very kind and helpful to me after the game today. First, fun game...I think Rice's last lead was at the 5-4 point in the first few minutes. Katenda had a great game...several nice dunks...some excellent hustle...a decent...decent...free throw shooting game for the good guys...half-way decent crowd with a few students trickling back, and a win for the Mean Green! All nice in itself, but what went on after the game is my point here...the greatness of the Mean Green family. Well, my wife and I get to our car and I notice I do not have my cell phone. It was in my lap and I guess I dropped it or kicked it somewhere as we stood up to leave. So, I run back in to the Super Pit in the hope that I might find it. A group of fans notice me looking for something and ask if they could help. I explain and one lady asks if I have the "Find my Phone" app on my phone...well, yes I do. She says...here take my phone and let's find that thing! Long story short, but after about 10-12 minutes of looking...several random folks have now joined the search...the app's pinging and direction finding works and my phone is located. How it got where it did I will never know, but the point is...a bunch of Mean Green fans hung around to help a fellow Mean Greener find a lost phone. Obviously, I thanked these folks profusely and returned the phone used to help find mine to its owner. I realize this is no big deal...a lost phone...in the whole scheme of things, but I just wanted to give a shout out to these very kind Mean Green people who I did not know and who did not know me who took their time and hung around after the game to help me locate my phone. Yes, folks...Mean Green people are the greatest! Thank you kind people.

@Harrysaw traffic numbers slowing down so had to grab a stick to poke @UNT90 in his cage... This is not our coach, and not even a conference mate or someone currently on our schedule. If anyone else posted it, you'd move it to a different forum, Harry.

Who cares about Tulane?

This game was on a nice big screen at a TX Roadhouse up here in MEM. I don't know what channel; it wasn't on any of the zillion sports channels I get at home. That big green eagle on the court looks great on TV. I sure have come to appreciate the wins over a recognizable school like Rice. Imagine how great it would be if they happened more often.

Why do we assume that we backed away? Could be he chose not to come here because he wants to play immediately.

It all boils down to recruiting. If Littrell and company can recruit the best players, then he will be the best hire. That simple.

Tulane's starting quarterback has asked for and received his release. Tanner Lee is a RS sophomore.

UNT90 telling us that this staff makes ours look like a JV squad in 4...3...2...1...

I doubt we offered him and believe it's better for him to get to play two years at Grambling instead of one at UNT. Recruit us a HS QB Seth!!!

i don't think the offer was on the table.

Just tweeted that he will announce as soon as Dooley Sports finishes his new team edit.

NT never able to completely put Rice away, but led comfortably about the whole game. Rare overall good shooting today, Katenda now has two excellent games in a row. Combs again with a double double. Johnson continues to score. This was a hard fought but sometimes sloppy basketball game. NT has beaten two bad conference teams, but there are not many good ones in this league this year. Benford's complaining about fragrant fouls got him one called. Not too excited yet, because NT strung some good games together last year only to fall apart. I enjoyed this game and I think many others would if they forget about their get rid of Benford agenda. This team plays hard although not smart often, but they are fun to watch. They also unlike some of Benford's teams look like they are having fun on the court.

Dude he is only 5'10". Everyone knows you have to be 6'3" or from Iowa to be a D1 quarterback!

If Fritz wins at Tulane (who has one winning season since 2002) he will show he has won at a place where circumstances make winning hard. Until then, he has made average to above-average programs better. If he pulls a Tommy Bowden at Tulane, you'll have every right to puff your chest out but I have my doubts. As far as where we are since the two staffs took over, we have acquired our best DT in over a decade, likely a graduate transfer quarterback, and allegedly turned down a SEC transfer quarterback. Tulane has lost their starting quarterback to transfer and a starting wide receiver to track & field. I like our chances.

Tied at 71, going to double OT. http://www.kntu.com/

That class was the end of Rod Rust as the rules on JC transfers changed, and almost all those players were not eligible. I never could find out if the rules changed after they were signed which seemed totally unfair or if NT just didn't know the new rules. A few sit out a year and played, but most never saw the field and NT basically lost a whole recruiting class.

I'm sure he does. But if he's scared by a QB prospect in the grade below him then he has no business playing P5 ball.

Did you miss where I said " Time will tell us if they did"? You have no idea if Fritz will be a great hire for Tulane. Both coaches have impressive resume's in their own right but time will tell how well they do at the current schools.

Directv carries them nation wide often on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN). I have watched many UNT games on American Sports Network. Their production is not as slick as Fox, but they are getting better and better, and they are enthusiastic about the teams they show. They also talk very positively about Conference USA.

I have an inkling his recent foot problems (his Grambling pic had him holding crutches) may have factored in here.

I am really interested in the answer to this question.

this is good news tho i feel like. sounds like seth and co are confident they have someone in place for 2017

what if hal mumme turns them down because he wants to stay at d3 football

I'm starting a brewery in denton...selling brew at Noth texas games for a buck...we aRe all gonna enjoy games in the future!!!

Well, there you go. Looks like he's Aggie through & through. A CA kid will likely be in for quite a shock in College Station.

Will you give @UNT90 his $7500 back?

I'm on it!

The amount of vitriol GMG has for being called out on its own Stockholm Syndrome is amusing.

Good for you Devante, I may have chose NDSU instead of Grambling. However, like you I hate the cold and would have found the next best thing. Stay safe and sling the rock! Rooting for you.

He had said he would announce together with Bryce English, then he tweeted something about how things change. Could've been either way. You're right not to assume, but it would seem that way. Should work out for both parties

No, I was just referring to how absolutely dirty it sounded, not what actually happened.

Does KFC still have those little bucket desserts? Those were good.

Good post. Agree with everything you said. In fact, I ran into another frequent GMG.Com poster, and he said pretty much the same thing you did in your second paragraph. In fact, we both agreed that the substitution patterns are much much different than in Benford's first couple of years.

I just want to let everyone know that when I win the Powerball tomorrow night, I plan on becoming UNT's T Boone Pickens. It's gon' be fun, y'all.

Our current starting QB Ward Jr has the exact same measurables (he was 5'10 165 lbs when he took over the starting job last year) as King yet is 19-2 as a starter, including a 13-0 record as a starter this year (the loss to UCONN, Ward was out with an injury so the backup started) and a Heisman candidate going into his senior year which by your logic, shouldn't have been able to compete as a starting FBS quarterback. Tate Martell, the #1 class of 2017 QB is also 5'10 and 160-170 lbs. If he even remotely looked in UNTs direction, there would be a million threads on here about it. Of course, considering you're a UNT fan and the fact that UNT has never had an elite QB which is obvious considering the decades of losing including giving up 66 to an FCS team, you wouldn't know what one looks like.

Can we continue to debate beer sales?

This! The reality is that UTSA is in our conference and therefore needs to be as competitive as possible. That makes for a better conference and a better rivalry. Now, if someone can figure out a way to do an even swap with the Sunbelt for Texas State (my preferred CUSA member from that area), then we need to hope for the best for UTSA. We need a rivalry folks. And ideally a rivalry with a school with a large (or at least a potentially large) following that will come to Denton, (with their Band), and buy seats in the "visitor" section, and annoy the crap out of us.........so that we can do the same to them on the return trip. Some of you here don't seem to understand how that works.

Since I'm planning on winning also, I'll take football and you can take basketball. I'll even toss in a baseball stadium, since getting stuck with trying to fix basketball is getting the short end of the stick.

Not as bad as UT fans, but they are probably mad that they are the punching bag of the SEC now.... Or the fact that CougarQueen can troll them about how UH stole their QB. It would be golden if UNT takes Starkel from under their nose. They would really hate the G5's after that.

9) we have hot chicks

Even if we weren't being seriously considered, putting us on his list can do nothing but help us with other recruits. So, regardless of where you end up, thank you Nick Starkel. You're a good man.

Seems like you have an anti UH/herman thing going, which is cool. But the two hosts are the ones looking bad. Not Herman. If it were the only radio in town, then it would be a bad deal, but there's 3 other radio stations that he has a pretty good rep with and the 3 or more TV outlets. He's constantly on the other stations weekly. Leach didn't like media at all and has a weird personality, Where herman has an issue with this one situation. And leach seems to be doing just fine right about now.
