60. NORTH TEXAS QB MASON FINE Fine is a natural thrower who put up eye-popping numbers his last two seasons—4,052 yards and 31 touchdowns in 2017 and 3,793 yards and 27 touchdowns in 2018—in Graham Harrell’s air-raid offense. Harrell is off to run the offense at USC, so there will be some uncertainty when Fine takes the field this season. Still, don’t be surprised if Fine and North Texas’s offense light it up in Conference USA once again.

Man, that is one deeeep backfield. I don't know much about Addaway or Siggers yet, but I expect any of those guys would be a legit C-USA #2 back.

Why not a bit of columns A, B, and C?

Find it ironic that the sammy house became the christian center

He saved us last year. Hope he can do it again and we get him some help. When we can run it, it opens up everything else. He makes a difference.

LOL - That's too funny. I'm imagining our marketing gurus pitching products emblazoned with "the Son of Worm" on them. "Diving Eagle" is what the university has officially called it for at least several years now. Of course, we're going to keep calling it SOW anyway.

*Jester Hall , 1.5 years on the dark side in Austin *Semi-enlightened with the transfer to NTSU, Crumley Hall with two of the most bizarre roomies over two semesters *The IOOF cemetery hugging Gazebo apartments (photo attached), with the best roommate ever, Eric Gay, now AP bureau photographer covering South Texas and the world, on request. Met that guy while beer-tending at the RBL. Later he met his future wife -and introduced me to her roommate, my future wife. Collectively, we have been married 64 years and have four kids. One is as passionate of a Mean Green fan as I.

I don’t know how to attach a link, but they have him at #60 out of 100 top players with a picture. So cool!!

Talk about living life.

Will never forget Easly run over the Ark DB! One of my favorite memories! GMG

Two years in West Dorm when it was bright, shiny, new, and a long walk to the rest of the NTSC campus. A while at some apartments called University City then the Phi Kap house on Scripture Street. I then got married and we lived in some less expensive (some would say "cheap") apartments throughout Denton. Our first was on Welch Street in a place that should have been condemned and demolished years before we lived there. Once the new Mrs. Huff saw the size of the cockroaches there she "strongly suggested" that we find another place ASAP. No Roach did not touch those things and I am not sure that napalm would have done the trick, either. Mrs. Huff had lived in Marquis Hall prior to our marriage and I suspect she tried to work a deal to go back there after she saw the size of those cockroaches. Fortunately (for me) that was not an option.

Pictures do not do justice to the size of this building. It really is massive. The view from the 35's is going to be awesome.

I thought "SOW" was a GMG.com thing. I don't think I've ever heard anyone from the Athletic Department (RV's tenure, or WB's tenure) call that logo the "SOW", or "Son Of Worm".

Update: It's not completed. 🙂

Also, I think #60 is too low of a ranking, imo.

I normally love the battle flag design. But, I think it is too big and would look washed out on TV and in the stands. Personally, I would love to see the battle flag incorporated as a smaller feature in one of the existing designs. Maybe something like this: With a design like this, on TV the battle flag would really stand out because most of the action centers around the key. Just MHO.

Addaway is a real Wild Card in the backfield as of now. He got here over the semester break, so he was here for Spring Practice, which is huge. This puts him ahead of any of the other incoming Freshmen. Plus, he already looks bigger than any of our other RBs, including Easley. (L-R: Addaway, Torrey, Easley, Johnson, Wyche, Smith, Siggers) Addaway is definitely a candidate for breakout Freshman.

@letsgiveacheer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dika_Newlin What an incredible read.

....and improved O-line play.

None of that surprises me. In your description you left out her Jerry Lewis haircut. When I saw her I remember thinking "did this person get lost on her way to the school of art? Which was the only other department that was regarded as stranger than the school of music She took odd to another level......even for the school of Music,

I feel like Torrey unfairly caught some criticism on our short yardage failures (and there were some critical ones that cost us games) last season. I look forward to seeing how Reeder will use him. He likes to run the ball (as does Littrell) The short yardage problems can be fixed with creative play calling....

Torrey has earned the starting nod, but just about every back is going to see lots of action. If Easly is back to where he was before his injury, he will be next in line. But the real story will be our being able to truly customize our running game to any opponent and any situation during a game.

This is your 3rd post in the thread, so... YGAF

LaColina Apartments on Teasley @ I35 Then I lived in a house down the road a bit from the TWU golf course. There were (and maybe still are) train tracks about 75 yards from my bedroom window so the first night there I was awakened by what I was sure was a train derailing and coming through my bedroom😁

Sig Ep house for two years when it was located where “Clark Park” is currently. Great location and had our own dirt parking lot. House for last year away from campus and all the fun but needed to study and slow down.

“Graham Harrell’s Air Raid”??

Freshman - 1st semester Kerr Hall, 2nd Semester Clark Hall Sophomore - Clark Hall Junior - Sante Fe (less than five years old at the time, clearly not built to stand the test of time) Senior - University Uptown Apartments (literally moved into them brand new, they were falling apart within a year) Grad school - The Oaks - great proximity to campus (could walk to my classes in business building and also walk to Fry to get a beer) Definitely some good memories throughout those places. Probably most fond memories in Clark Hall. Had great roomate who became my best man and still great friend to this day. Met other characters who are still apart of my life in some way or another 15+ years later.

Spent my first two years at home going to TCC and lived in Clark the whole time I was at UNT.

Commits to New Mexico.

I guess I'll go ahead and be the first "commuter" to post. Before enrolling at NT, I did work for the University for a year on a moving truck. As a result I visited a lot of dorms, to move things in and out. My assessment after going through a lot of the dorms was that there were a lot of guys who's mothers cleaned up after them a lot when they were growing up. I also visited just about every professor's office when they wanted to move to what they thought was a better office. Most of these moves were professors in the school of music. Interesting bunch......especially Dr. Dika Newlin.......🙄. The crew I worked on also got to be part of the big move of the school of art from their old building in the middle of campus to the (then) new building located on the east side of the campus. Moving the giant kiln from the basement of the old art building (it took about 20 of us} to be loaded on a large truck was a North Texas memory I'll never forget. After I enrolled at North Texas my fellow commuter buddies and I would often meet for lunch in the old Marquis Hall cafeteria that the school kept open for anyone to come in and have a meal.....it was a bargain. That was the closest thing to a "living on campus" experience that I had.

First 2 years in west hall La colina Woodhill

Crumley Hall. Then, parents purchased a cheap condo near school (3 of us kids attended UNT). They rented the place out for a few years after and then sold it.

Thats a bummer... I know its hard to stick to time tables, but was really hoping itd be done for the guys to use most of the season.

The MWC could help North Texas in so many ways. It might also help us get that mythical baseball team.

Freshman year : Lived at 315 Sycamore. Was simply known at the time as "the purple house". Last time I drove by it was a home business called Juliettes Jewels. She let me walk around and reminisce for a bit.. Great memories there. Next place was WestWind apartments over near Sam Bass and 35, nothing special beyond launching eggs off he balconies. The rest of time was in a small ranch house off Teasley Ln. I believe it was called Sundown Ranch. Fond memories of blowing up those giant Sysco supply cans of Nacho cheese, and ranch style beans.

Good thread. In this order: 1992-1996- College Inn, Sig Ep house, Kerr hall

Bussey or Hamilton?👀

90 - Kendall Hall - aka sweatbox 91-92 Gazebo apts 93-slum apts off Bryan st. 200 a month all bills paid- 94- raintree apts with future wife and still with her!
