In the preseason coaches poll....not too shabby

Source: https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/polls/amway-coaches-poll/2019-2020/2019-08-01/ Also, check who has the same amount of votes as us. That game can't come soon enough

I thought we only had to get a non-fatal shot to the leg? This has really escalated, except for the sex part. A year? Ha! I'll do a year just for 1 additional win right now.

https://thelandryhat.com/2019/07/31/dallas-cowboys-3-deep-threat-candidates/4/ Guyton seems to be performing well so far.

Our first game is THIS MONTH! GO MEAN GREEN!

The SMU game is so important. We have to win that game.

Agree with all of that. The game just seems like a tossup. Maybe I'm overrating SMU and I have to get the 2nd half of last season out of my mind...They did upgrade their QB, are in Dykes's system now and we're playing there. To your point...if we don't beat SMU...we're probably not going to beat Cal. But I really want to go into the Houston game at least 3-1. (we have a good chance to be 4-0. 3-1 just looks so much better than 2-2 going into a tough game. I don't want to have to beat Houston to avoid being under .500) It just feels like that's the key game and will show what this team is made of. We win...we're headed toward a sellout against Houston with a good record. We lose...we could be staring at under .500 going to Hattiesburg.

Very nice! Hope they put “Mean Green” along the outside like it’s shown in some pics. Can’t wait to see everything Aug 31st! Well done! #GMG

When you are my age, that's not so much of a sacrifice.

My wife has now asked me to try that and see if it works.

Well...if a miracle occurs and Houston some how beats OU...I just don't see how Apogee want sell out. Course that also requires NT to take care of their business too.

As much as I wanted this to be ready for the start of fall practice... I am glad that this current team will get to use this facility at least some this season. They will really get to see what their hard work has produced

Can I give up my wife?

I’m gonna step away from the Houston pissing contest and just say that both QBs are damn fine and we’re lucky to have who we have. This is a freaking amazing matchup at that position, and probably one of the best ones we will see in all of CFB this season. I hope the game is played with zero injuries under snap. It would totally kill the vibe of the game if either squad loses their starter. I mean that sincerely for King, because when we whoop your butts I want to be able to say y’all were at full strength when it happens.

I think we like to sound distinguished by saying "reliefs" vs little sculpture thingys...

Jeff Wilson-49ers Craig Robertson-Saints Jamize Olawale-Cowboys Nate Brooks-Cardinals Kemon Hall-Chargers Cole Hedlund-Colts EJ Ejiya-Ravens Any others? I can't find anything on Jordan Murray or Rod Young, they must have not been invited back to fall camp.

Sorry, Texan. Even if this improper usage has been increasing, it's plain wrong. And your analogy won't work. "Team" is a collective plural; "criteria" is not...it is the plural of "criterion."

Splitting hairs here, but hey, it's the offseason! Is it a grammar error? From Merriam Webster: So if they're treating the word itself in a singular manner (like all of these things equals 1 requirement), then it would be "is". Even if there are multiple criteria within, and not one single criterion. Like you would say, "the football team is very good", even though there are multiple players that make up the singular team.

I don't want to downplay ACU.. Never put down an opponent. But I think our pivotal game is SMU, which you already talked about. Think about what the beat down SMU took last year by us, did to our team's mentality. You could argue that that built our confidence up to destroy Arkansas.

Mean Green has stepped it up!!

Not to be a killjoy but if we don't beat SMU, we're not top 75. Two years ago against SMU I hoped to win. Last year I thought we'd win This year I expect to win.

Of all our guys this year, I thought he had the best chance to get drafted. Don't think this surprises many of us though. Despite the drops, we know his quality and how many times he straight up burned opposing DB's.

Thanks for the leadership! GMG

Crap. Really was excited to potentially land this young man. Well, it ain't over until signing day.

Your other nut, kidney and one more finger from one of your hands.

So, are we trying to FIND a receiver to replace Guyton or CHOOSE a receiver to replace Guyton. There is a big difference.

I’d give money but I’m not giving up body parts. I’m not that rabid anymore. I’ve matured

I'd give 1 testicle but not a finger or kidney. Losing a finger would kill me typing and giving up a kidney is like driving without a spare tire.

* First point in bold: Looks like you are in agreement. The remainder of that paragraph sounds like you are describing the city the same way Trump did, but only using different terms.. * Second point in bold: You just claimed in the previous paragraph that the city is "circling the drain," "white flight to the suburbs has only made things worse," "it is the perfect stopping point along what is considered on of the main drug trafficking corridors in the country," and ""you don't even bother calling the cops." Sounds like a place no human being would want to live. Oh, and PBS had a program about the rat infestation problem, so that is obviously true. In response to: 1. Yes, I have been to both. NYC was a mess until Guiliani became mayor and cleaned the place up. San Francisco was a mess with homeless people hanging around the trolley turnaround harassing people for money. I was approached in a restaurant by a man in full make up harassing me for money until the transit police ran him out of there. That entire area smell of urine. Infestation is also used to describe places that are truly infested with pests like rats and roaches. In walking to a place to eat breakfast one morning in SF, I witnessed a street crew picking up syringes and spraying down the sidewalks to remove the filth. Lovely. By the way, the homeless were of all races. 2. You basically claimed in the early part of your post that it is a place that most people don't want to live. Finally, your final point is that Trump, being the CEO of the U.S. government should have a plan to clean up these "shit hole" places. He has been in office for roughly two and one half years. Cummings has represented that district for decades and look at your description of it. Looks like Cummings should focus on his constituents. It was also a disaster under Obama and he even state so yet that wasn't racist. Hell, Chris Rock has a stand up act that targets these inner city places and says the exact same things. Racists? Nope, just funny because it was true which is sad when you think about it. Trump is a big baby that can't take criticism. You criticize Trump, you better be ready for some backlash and race doesn't matter. Trump also isn't a politician and he doesn't care if he ruffles some feathers. These comments aren't a "dog whistle" to his base. They are truthful, but because the Left hates Trump so much, they label them as racist. Could his comments sound racists to some? Obviously yes, but that is taking the easy way out. Baltimore has wasted as much federal aid as New Orleans did prior to the Katrina catastrophe yet nobody blames the local politicians. It is the White House's fault. The last 4 Baltimore mayors were ousted for being corrupt. The town has a history of this. It is fact, not racism. While we are on this, let's throw Puerto Rico in the mix. Trump was criticized by their governor for not caring and not sending enough aid post hurricane. Now, two years later, Trump's comments were right on target when he stated that they were provided enough aid, and Rosello' is resigning. The true test will be when his replacement is determined and the amount of help the federal government will give to right the ship. The best depiction of Trump is the one above that state he acts like a four year old and throws his toy at those that criticize him.

Can this be pinned and updated throughout preseason?

I've never posted a Prager U video on here... And come on man.... I think you're honest enough to know that the Charlottesville "fine people" controversy has been debunked multiple times. By you know....anyone that listened to the words that came out of his mouth. “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.” I'm really not sure how he could be any clearer....he said that in the same press conference about 2 minutes after he said "fine people" That one ranks up there with "Muslim ban." If the press says it enough maybe it will become true?

Jalen Guyton- Cowboys, he had a long touchdown catch Monday where he burned his DB. So I read Nate Brooks is running 2nd team corner Cole Hedlund converted on 7 of 9 field goal attempts. Missing a 50 and 59 yarder but converting on 57 yards

Nice, but . . . the grammar error is embarrassing. It should read, "if the above criteria are met."

Does this mean he's committed? These are just the offers. I don't see anywhere that Vakauta is committed, but he does have several other offers... @TheReal_jayD? @Brett Vito?

Nope, still young and not married. Just had enough up to this point to hold me over for a few years if need be. I was an American living abroad, that should tell you all you need to know

Oh sure, there are differences. And if you're curious about something, you can ask. Just walking up to someone and touching them without permission happens more than you would think and is not a great look for those people lol. Absolutely agreed. It's not limited to class, though. The stereotypes exist of the 'Welfare Queen' and of non-white people abusing the welfare system. That's one of the things Republican politicians use to drive home cuts to social aid programs. LBJ articulated these politics best: The statistics very clearly show that white people are the largest beneficiary of welfare and food stamps, but that is not the impression of quite a few people on the right. Also those statistics in a vacuum don't address the 'why' of how people need those programs. Well that much is true as well. One of the most powerful scenes in films is Matthew McConaughey's closing statement in "A Time to Kill." It shows how people are mostly or completely incapable of identifying with someone else's plight unless they're placed directly into their shoes. This is why it is so easy to keep kids in cages at the border, regardless of who it started under or whether it's worse now than it was 5 years ago. Out of sight, out of mind mixed with a feeling of superiority allows for some pretty nasty human behavior and opinions. Most people I wouldn't label "a racist", but I believe people exhibit more racist behavior than they would like to think. That's why people get so offended when they're referred to as racist, because they don't view themselves as racist and are incapable of understanding the racist behaviors they do exhibit. To your example above, yes that would be a racist behavior, and a very good example in my mind. No, your theoretical person isn't sitting there saying, "How can I be a good racist today?" What they are thinking, either consciously or unconsciously, is that the Hispanic dentist would do a better job than the Asian dentist. Otherwise, why would the race of the dentist even matter? Now keep in mind, this is totally absent of any circumstantial reasons like both the patient and the dentist speak Spanish (where the Asian dentist does not), the dentist is closer geographically, or they're an acquaintance/friend. And let's be honest. In the end, me choosing a white dentist because I'm white isn't going to end life as we know it. Where the issue comes in is with politics and people using plausible deniability to enact some heinous policies. Probably another conversation for another day, though.

His comments on Graham Harrell’s departure made me chuckle. Wish GH the best.

But everything he said about Shanbour was true. I thought he illustrated the importance of a good backup perfectly.

I like everything I see and hear about Brandon Brown. I believe that he is truly exceptional and that Coach Yellock could make him a high draft choice. He has all of the tools. Hope that Lee and others can convince him to come here with them. Go UNTamed 20!

The UNTamed20 has bought in!
