He runs like he is pissed off!

Would you expect anything less from the University of North Mexico?

Did Vito just use the term “big win” and “Incarnate Word” in the same sentence bc... dear lord.

Wow. Really? Our play is ‘indistinguishable’ from those two? OK Seth, pedal to the floor.

An impossibility. Know why? IT’S IN BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA! Rick

as long as we stay away from the grey unis

I received a sign from God today... this is the license plate on my rental vehicle because of this... i'd like to adjust my prediction UNT - 444 UTSA - 8

That montage highlights how hard he seems to be to wrap up and bring down. 5-8 200 lbs.

Actually ...

Geography is hard, especially when you live in San Angelo.

Please understand their viewpoint. Considering those inbreds rarely make it past the door of mama's basement, it feels like a trip out of state to them.

Is UTSA Bringing Their "Cannon" To Denton? We may be in luck. It's transport vehicle was just spotted in San Marcos.

That's actually cute. Especially since it'll be an Oklahoman that's carving them up. Just holding out hope the Oklahoman WR is also ready to go.

Enrollment has never been an issue. We've always been somewhere in the top five in enrollment in Texas since the 60's. Do I need to go over this again? Where we were decades behind everyone else was the issue of fund raising. Put plainly, we not only hadn't been fund raising like just about all the other schools in D-1 football, it was NOT PART OF OUR CULTURE TO GIVE BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY. And that was because our previous Presidents either strongly discouraged it, or forbid it. When Hayden Fry became the head coach he asked who was in charge of funding raising for the athletic department. The response was "what?". Hayden Fry started the Mean Green club, along with other cultural changes regarding athletics. Hayden correctly assessed the situation as being a CULTURAL ISSUE. And one of the biggest needs in culture change was fund raising. Fund raising was in it's infancy at North Texas when he arrived, but it had not spread to the Athletic Department. He set out to change that. But not without resistance from old nesters still ensconced in the administration. The first president to discard the no-fund-raising tradition was John Kamerick, but this cultural momentum was temporarily interrupted when Kamerick was forced out by the Governor of Texas because of Kamericks anti-Vietnam war sentiments. The next President to be hired to change the funding culture was C.C. "Jitter" Nolan. The word out on him was that he was not even remotely an academian (much to the dismay of all the aforementioned "old nesters").....he was a FUND RAISER. He hired Hayden Fry and then went about trying to raise funds for the University. I worked for the University on a moving truck prior to enrolling at NT. And one time we went over to the Presidents home to set up some sort of fund raising event. I was sent to the garage to get something that we needed and while there I saw inventory stacked up that would have been the envy of just about any liquor store in the area. I just chuckled at the stark difference in Dr. Matthews and "Jitter Nolan". I thought to myself "boy! have things changed". I don't know exactly when our endowment fund was set up, but I'm guessing it was around the Kamerick/Nolan administration. addendum: Just as I thought....... ....and that is why our endowment is a pathetic 190 mil. By comparison, the endowment for Rice University (established in 1912) is 6.2 Billion. The University of Houston's (established in 1927) endowment is 942 Million.

North Texas once scored a game winning TD against UTSA... you young fellers are probably tired of hearing this old man talk about games from the past...

Too true. UCF has nearly 70,000 enrolled and every successful effort of theirs has just been met with derision.

He needed different colored text, various fonts, and some Hells Bells action.

PAC 12 member Washington State’s stadium has a capacity of 35,000. I haven’t read the links, but Is UAB’s an on-campus stadium with a prime location between 2 interstates with an IPF near the FB stadium & other major varsity sports venues located in an Olympic style village all within walking distance? Just askin’.🙄 💚 GMG! GMG!

1. They suck 2. Their coach sucks 3. What they call a cannon sucks 4. Their band sucks 5. Their students thinks it sucks going there

Feed Siggers!

Where the hell did this come from?

You are a genius.

In my humble opinion, Wren has the rare marketing fail with this one. The first marketing I’ve seen for this coming from the athletic department came out today. Just 4 days before the event. Didn’t they promote this event for a couple weeks last year? On another note, looking forward to seeing Animal! 😂 He can’t possibly be in worse shape than Hacksaw Jim Dugan was last year.

Enrollment is not as big a factor as you think?

I’m very excited about him, even though the offer list isn’t great. He is the first high school recruit Littrell has signed that actually has left tackle written all over him. Problem is he is going to at least need a redshirt year.

Why is a university with the enrollment that North Texas has still playing in a Group of 5 Conference?

It is my understanding that the Roadrunners scratched the trip to Denton for the cannon, fearing termite exposure.

Time to up that Athletics fee by another dollar with all the newbies that don’t know any better. Good programs are fed by money. Maybe we will be able to afford to keep our sweet SL savior another year.

Frisco Campus is going to BOOM! Great move.

I want Bussey back but I also want HG and Shorter to have a coming out party.

So basically... Update: we still don't know either way

“Win out”, meaning beat Houston in 2 weeks, win every conference game (including the championship) & a bowl game... and be “disappointed“? Did you really think that question all the way through? Because I think I can speak for about 98% of Mean Green fandom when I say: NO! I won’t be disappointed in going 12-2 with a C-USA championship & bowl win.

This is how the wrestling SHOULD be done: 1) Halftime performance. 2) As the initial match concludes, the winner shreds the top part of their uniform to reveal a T-shirt underneath of <OPPONENT HERE> 3) Once the wrestler is identified as an “enemy”, Stone Cold immediately comes out from the tunnel and clocks the wrestler. Then Stone waves UNT flag around the ring for a little bit. Crowd goes absolutely nuts. If something like above happens the performance would no doubt be on a ton of top 10 lists and likely generate similar amounts of social media buzz as last years fake fair catch. Halftime concludes with some band schenanigans.

As you would know, many have asked that question since the 70’s, JH. Blackie Sherrod in one of his famous mid-1970’s DMN “Scattershootin’ “ columns wrote “look for NorTexSt. to be next up for the SWC.” Fry had been at NT about 4 years when Blackie wrote that blurb. We are where we are because of poor leadership, a long string of poor hirings, an old track stadium we had way too long & empty seats in that old track stadium against mostly schools that the SWC Private schools could not have drawn flies against. Those 4 SWC Private’s had built-in home attendance turnstile numbers with UT, TAMU, TTech & Arkansas traveling fans; just as North Texas would have had (in more impressive numbers) had we had the same luxury. ✅ North Texas should still do everything UH & Boise State are doing to work toward a P5 objective. Things just never stay the same in the NCAA so.......be prepared? • I watched our Cal game with a Texas Tech family who said Apogee needed to be larger when the Red Raiders come to Denton—I asked him how much larger—he said about 9,000 more seats larger because his school would easily bring at least 9K to Denton. This guy is a former Aledo Bearcat letterman & very much connected to the 🔺Texas Tech▪️football program & once played a round of golf with Seth Littrell. Addendum: Texas State—SM has been ahead of UNT in enrollment the past 2 or 3 years. I don’t know their 2019 Fall numbers. GMG!

I have a feeling that our guy Siggers Is going to have a huge game! At least 150 yards and 2 tds! And we win 42-14 LOTS OF THIS!!

It’ll be an exhibition game for them but not for us. One of those weird things where the NCAA lets the D2 school count the game as an exhibition but let’s the D1 school count the (presumed) win on their record.

Finally got a hit with Erik Williams who, as of now, is our highest-rated recruit for 2020.

unpopular opinion... we are getting too big...

Boomer is ready....
