He was only at Arkansas State for one year. I agree it’s premature. So was Littrell’s first raise. I think Baker and his crew believe in their coaches and are willing to pay them for what they are going to do more than what they’ve done. Our administration is doing everything and committing as much as possible in nearly every facet to make our major programs successful. Including keeping our coaches happy and making it clear that we’re about keeping them, doing what we can to help their programs, and keep them focused on what they can build here long term, rather than keeping an exit strategy in mind. Whether or not it pays off is another question. But that’s just my explanation of the rationale.

Jeff Wilson just scored a TD on MNF! Go Jeff!

Back-to-back 20 win season doesn't at least open the conversation? Also, last year's 20 win season was without the help of an extended post-season.

Just F'n with ya! Ha! So glad we don't have to worry about this for another season. Go Fine!

I dunno. Maybe I'm blinded by past head coaching blunders at UNT, but I think McCasland the guy we need.

It's also important to note that 18 of those Southern Meth wins came before the end of World War 2. Wins, yes. But relevant to 2019, hardly. 6 for Heisman GO MEAN GREEN

A custody battle already.

Who are you @Christopher Walker? CPS? You cant take my adopted son away from me if I haven't done anything wrong! I Adopted the Hometown kid last year and I would like to file an official protest to get him back.

Nevermind that other coaches are paying attention as well, and can see that NT is paying their coaches well & extending them constantly. So in the event we do lose one or both of them, there will be plenty of quality coaches knocking on the door for an interview because they know NT will pay them!

I’m filing an IP claim against you. Just because he’s moving back to the offensive side of the ball - where he belongs! - doesn’t mean you can claim my guy!

This is still Joe Greene Hall, but the corner of it facing the intersection of Ave A and Eagle Dr. There is also a new Welcome center right behind this hall along Maple St.

I will stick with my pick from last year, Mr. Jyaire Shorter.

DRC: Here's how I think UNT's season will go. Send in your pick https://dentonrc.com/sports/it-s-time-for-a-unt-tradition---/article_30b7e927-8429-5b1c-997a-0c4aa443cf9b.html

Plenty of kids available for adoption that would love to call you "Dad".

Hope they didn't hire this guy to do the work.

A husband & 3 kids just lost their rock. It's going to be very tough for Coach Anderson to adjust to coach life with 3 kids on his own. I would not be surprised to see him step down after this season. We all know coaching requires a ton of hours each week. He's not going to be able to keep that up and raise those boys flying solo at the same time. The Anderson family will be in my prayers for sure.

This is the most likely outcome, so I'll go along with this. HOWEVER, if we beat Cal, SMU and Houston, then it's most likely a 14-0 season. I kind of made the same prediction last year when I was talking to KingDL1 at the first game's tailgating event. I remember saying that if we beat SMU and Arkansas, then we'll go 12-0. He looked at me like I'd had just taken the Lords name in vain in the middle of a revival meeting. I believe he thought that I had jinxed them.........and I probably did. HOWEVER (2) They SHOULD HAVE gone 12-0..........................😠

I think custody should go to the one who spells Loren’s name correctly, imho.

Damn, the school has made some really nice additions!

Mike Lawrence for the 3rd time. Expect a big year from “The Standard”!

had him since he signed, alma mater to alma mater...Deion Hair-Griffen. I still fear we'll never be able to fully utilize that speed...maybe special teams only...but hope he breaks out a bit behind Darden. In sticking with my always sub-adopt a walk-on with minimal chance of contributing...I'm going with wide receiver David Chapp(el)le. will also co-parent with whoever takes Gaddie, since I did claim from the moment he signed that he'd be our starting corner by conference play this season

Give me Punter Alvin Kenworthy...cause you can’t spell punt without UNT. Rick

If UNT goes 12-1, Littrell will already be signed on somewhere by the time we play the bowl game.

A number of posters have stated that they think Fine's stats will go down slightly due to the change in systems, but the number EWU put up under Reeder don't reflect that happening.

Further, the building that stands between the Indoor Practice Facility and Apogee Stadium will be renamed the Mason Fine Heisman Trophy Athletic Center. If not, I will demand that Johnny Jones be fired immediately. 6 for Heisman GO MEAN GREEN

A friend of mine, an ACU graduate, told me a story about an uncle of his, a professor, who came the ACU to deliver a lecture. His uncle went out to dine at a well known local Steak House and ordered wine. The waiter had already engaged him in a brief conversation and was aware of his employment. When he ordered the wine the waiter asked "Would you like that in a mug?". He asked "Why would I want it in a mug?". The waiter stated that "Usually when the professors order wine they ask for it in a mug." He had it served in a wine glass. Perhaps if we offered beer in a mug or perhaps a plastic soft drink cup with a lid and straw it would help with sales.

I hope ACU brings a crowd. I have a ACU alum coworker that doesn't even own an ACU shirt... I convinced him to go to this game and tailgate with us too.

@MeanGreenTexan @Green Lantern Whelp! I'll do some digging tonight and find a new one.

https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2019-08-18/college-football-2019-ncaa-power-five-coaching-jobs The DRC is nice, but I like the fact that UNT is mentioned more and more in national publications, too! GMG

Yep! Unless you drop them off at the fire station in order to pick someone else, or don't show up prior to the season starts to reclaim.

I have decided that I want to retain custody of my Adopted son Tyreke Davis. This Hometown Hero will make a huge splash at linebacker this year and put UNT fan's minds at ease with the departure of a well seasoned LB core. Davis looks to have put on almost 20 pounds of pure muscle and has the speed to cover anyone on the line or out of the backfield and pop anyone in the mouth that decides to run downfield at him! He will have 40+ Solo Tackles, 2+ Sacks and 2+ INT's

I always thought Sagarin's rankings were crap. Unbiased, maybe. But still crap.

Joe Ozougwu I had a good run the last couple of years with Wheeler at the Jack LB, so I will take his understudy Jo-Jo. Sticking with my guy Jo Jo

Since smuT's return from the death penalty, they lead the series 4-6.

When Ross committed to USC at the U.S. Army All-American game he famously said he would be attending USC "for the next three years." But Ross ended up barely playing early, redshirting in 2015. Last season was his first chance at major playing time, recording 13 tackles, two interceptions and one TD in seven games last season.

Sticking with my guy Greg White. Poised to start outside and have a huge year!

I’m going to switch it up this year and go with hometown hero Tyreke Davis at LB. Let’s say 32 solo tackles and another two dozen assisted.

Give me one I can keep for a while.....John Brunner OL #79. Our OL needs some love...

He got blown up by an LB and gave up a terrible sack of Mullins late in the game. That’s a rare miscue by him since he’s always been an excellent blocker. Also, not to change the subject but Nick Mullins looks a hell of a lot better at QB to me than Jimmy Garappolo. Rick

Mr. Khairi Muhammad for me again this year. Hopefully he can lead this defense this year and leave the spitting antics at home.

Ding! Ding! Ding! You win the homer award hands down. Well, Patrick Cobbs could tie you on our record but having Mason win the Heisman put you over the top.

For a split second, before reading the link, I thought you were linking to an online dictionary entry for “punt”. 😂 He played well last year & I expect him to do even better with Biagi coaching him.

Sure! RS Soph RB Tre Siggers, DUNCANVILLE HS

Hambone!!

Jaelon Darden He will have 600-800 yards this season, and about 10 TD’s

12-2 ACU - W: Should be put away by halftime. @SMU - W: Should be a much better game than last year's slaughter, but NT is still too much. @Cal - L: I think the travel and whatnot combined with their defense (impressively shut down the Pirate last year) will do us in. UTSA - W: They're not very good. Houston - W: Apogee advantage helps the team pull off a close one. NT & Mason start getting more national attention & the 'Littrell is leaving' fire starts up again. @SoMiss - W: It's going to be close because the team will still be on a high from the Houston win & all of the chatter. But I think they learned their lessons from last year & will remained focused enough to get this win. MT - W: They're going to have a tough year without Stockstill, and this game will bury them. @Charlotte - W: This is a game similar to last year's ODU game. The team will remain awake for all 60 minutes this time & win going away. UTEP - W: This is a bad team. We cannot lose, and it's not going to be as close as last year's weird close one. @LATech - W: Both teams come into this game looking to take the reigns on the West division. LATech will have 1 conference loss already (either FIU or USM) & play with too much urgency. Close, hard fought win. @Rice - W: Still rebuilding under Bloomgren. UAB - W: Coach Clark, although an awesome coach, will see his team crash back down to Earth this year. It will still be competitive, but NT Wins. Conference USA Championship Game @ Apogee Stadium - W: A sold out Apogee advantage helps NT beat FIU in a great game. Bowl Game - Not sure where it's gonna be, but with NT being 12-1, C-USA champs, and getting votes (probably ranked), I don't think we get the NY6 spot, but ESPN is going to shuffle some bowl games around like they always do, & grab NT to put them against a solid P5 squad in a bigger bowl game. Probably taking one of the many SEC spots that someone is not going to make... Something like the Texas Bowl VS Oklahoma St. or Iowa St. The stage will be too big, and the guys won't be able to handle the national love, in which many will pick them as a "sleeper" I'm afraid we lose this one in a squeaker. **Silver lining in losing the Bowl game: Littrell returns! If we win, he's gone.**
