Probably not the proper forum, but I have to post anyway. My daughter just got accepted to UNT! She will be a Freshman next fall. She is also trying out for the North Texas Dancers in June and will study Psychology. So proud to see her following in the old man’s footsteps. She has been a member of the Mean Green Nation since birth, now it’s official! GMG.

I didn’t see this published on any of UNT websites. So I thought I should post this to give the young man a big thumbs up.

I hate to look ignorant, but what are we protesting?

Congrats...You think she be interested in being our defensive coordinator ?

Still gonna be fun. Going to that game! Flying out tomorrow, I’ll post pics.

Just to give you guys an update. X-rays came back negative but his ribs are still sore. Ribs are still a little sore. He will try to workout and play against Rice.

Congrats. She'll have a great college experience. Here's another story about the growth of the Mean Green Nation. I live up here in Newtown, CT (small New England town) and my daughter started at North Texas last year. The very first student from Newtown High School to go to UNT according to the schools's Naviance system! So, last Friday night we were having dinner at our local Indian restaurant, it was cold so there was only one other couple at a table next to us. We're regulars there so we know all the staff and asked where everyone was, etc. and they said it was all takeout orders that night. Anyway, the couple at the next table was paying their check with the server and I swear I hear the woman say "North Texas." So, my head snaps around and I say, "excuse me, but did you just say 'North Texas?'" She says, "yes, our son goes to school there, he's a freshman." WTH? Anyway we talked for almost 20 minutes. They were both Univ of Georgia graduates and really wanted him to go there. They were surprised when he came home one day and told them he wanted to go to UNT. They were like, what? Where's that? They attended orientation with him and were genuinely surprised about how nice the school was and were very complementary about UNT after the visit. They must have said, "it's a really beautiful campus" a half a dozen times. High praise from Georgia alums as the Georgia campus is supposed to be very nice (I've never been there). I asked what made him want to go to UNT and they said it was from watching Youtube videos of the UNT Drum Line at games and various competitions and exhibitions. He's a drummer, but not a music major. So now there's two students from Newtown High School attending UNT.

Congrats! I never knew you were a UNT Dancer. That is fantastic she is following your lead in that!!!

She said something offensive....and she lost her job. So what are they protesting? Did she not lose her job hard enough?

Frankly I love the stadium and the layout. Game day experience has really gotten a lot better the last couple of years! Obviously this piece is not accurate. Maybe they should consider season tickets, park right next to the entrance! Maybe even tailgate some before the game if they want! #GMG

UNTlifer you have been correct all season about Shorter as the fastest guy on the team. This summer they clocked him at 24 MPH in the 60 yard with a GPS tracking. Just a side note for you

Depends how he (and the team) finishes the season out. I hope we can torch Rice next weekend but they've been stingy all season and played a lot of good teams close. UAB doesn't seem to have the same defense they had last year. It's a shame it's taken most of the season for the offense to get going (minus the debacle at La Tech).

https://meangreensports.com/news/2019/11/15/mens-golf-on-campus-golf-practice-facility-plans-announced.aspx It's official. Contains details. Very nice.

My pre-season prediction of a 12-0 season, a conference championship, a bowl win, and seeing Mason Fine named as the 2019 Heisman winner is looking less and less likely.

Only way to reverse that shit is to win. Only way to win and win championships is by building from a defense-first mentality. Since selling our soul to the offensive gods in 2007 we’re 58-101 with zero championships. DEFENSE! Rick

Once again, Mason is a great player, but this "once in a lifetime" and "generational player" talk is way premature. Sure, some things probably are. He basically started all 4 years. It may be a while before we have that again. He is an incredible underdog story, ultimately becoming what will probably be a top 30 all time NCAA passer. We may not get another one of those for a long time because it pretty much requires starting all four years. But I refuse to believe we will never have another elite quarterback.

UH was very good in football and basketball in the 60 and 70s, which made the SWC have to give them a look. Also, Rice was dying on the vine in Houston, so the SWC wanted to pro up that market. In DFW, you had TCU and SMU already and we got good just after UH got admitted and the privates saw how successful UH was right away, so adding us was a non-starter. What drives me insane to this day is that Hayden Fry/North Texas only limited themselves to the SWC. The Big Eight would have been the perfect conference for us to join and help grow into Texas. At the time, OU was the only team that played annually here in Texas. The Big Eight getting into DFW would’ve been massive and might have made the SWC think twice. We could have been playing OU, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, missouri, etc...as conference mates. But instead, we were told no, Hayden left, and we basically gave up. And that’s how you end up like this, desperately hanging on to FBS status, but well below the UHs of the world, who are miles below the teams of the Big 12.

Downvotes for any and all posts that @ or quote the troll. the only reason I ever submit -1s.

It’s yet another way we see the uphill road we have to walk to be relevant in this area, much less state or region. The SWC media legacy around here is still strong. I’ve never seen a group more interested in seeing a team succeed like they all do with SMU. It’s like they feel bad that they brought them down for cheating and they got the Death Penalty for it and never recovered for decades. Meanwhile, this same group of people thinks we are super spare to even have a football program and that we most be spat upon at ANYTHING we achieve. Seriously, Apogee is about 10x nicer than Ford Stadium. It’s one of the best G5 stadiums around. Until this piece of shit article, I’ve never heard anyone say a bad thing about Apogee, especially if they ever had to sit down at Fouts for a game, which was the worst stadium in America, bar none.

This is absolutely ridiculous. If they were talking about Fouts that would be one thing, but Apogee? Apogee is one of the finest around, especially when it's full and loud. This is very biased.

Mason isn't getting drafted, IMO. He had a chance, if we had been able to protect him and given him the defensive help to win more games and put up the kind of gaudy numbers he did in a few games this year. He would have had to be in the national conversation, both through wins and numbers. For reference, Minshew won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award, broke Jared Goff's Pac12 passing yardage record, won 11 games, was the Pac12 Offensive Player of the Year, and finished 5th in Heisman voting. He went in the 6th round.

Because we've whiffed on OLine recruiting for years, and we don't have the correct OL coach to make lemonade out of lemons. Plain & simple. EDIT: The interior linemen have been OK. Tackles (outside of Mayfield) have not.

As much as I love Mason, for some reason it is hard for me to see him being drafted. I really hope he does, but I think a lot of teams are going to be concerned about durability.

Why are any of us here?

Oh Crap, I forgot about that! I guess there wasn't a press conference since there was a bye week so we will have to wait to see. Hopefully Mason's head injury wasn't significant to linger for two weeks.

Not sure if Morris is the "country club" type kid. True, he has spent his high school years living in Highland Park, but his dad had moved around quite a bit prior to arriving there in 2011. He has lived in Tulsa, Clemson, SC, Austin/Lake Travis, Bay City and Stephenville.

I don't think we fit the country club culture he is used too.

Well done. Love hearing stories like this.

Congrats to all! GMG

Outstanding! Congratulations

Congratulations. Rick

You’re right. My bad. Been doing this a long time...let my disappointment get the best of me.

Your first sentence of your last response says it all.

Biased, yeah, but also just NO research done. Take this for example: "The Mean Green lose more than half their home games, though their overall season records have improved since 2015, when they went a dismal 1 and 11." It takes a quick Wikipedia search to find out the Mean Green's record at Apogee is 34-15, and I think that's even a few wins outdated...

It's really ironic, if I'm interpreting it correctly, that all of this was sparked from Caitlin Sewell using the slur as an example to support the idea that the first amendment protects offensive speech. Because it does. She's not in jail for saying the word, and she shouldn't be. But this also shows there are consequences to offensive speech, like losing your job. It's even more ironic because I think she was trying to make the point that there should be some form of government punishment for using offensive speech (which I find horrific personally).

You can go ahead and hand Burrows the trophy now. Rick

Forgot to post in here a few weeks ago when I coached against him but the kid is a stud. Played well defensively and housed one on us when they threw him in at Wildcat QB. Went out of his way to be a good sport to our coaches and admin after a tough loss for him too. Scuttlebutt is that Tech is snorting around though.....

We will be there and hopefully....wait finally get the first road win of the year!

Not surprised. Many have commented that Mason doesn’t look the same this year. Maybe it’s the OC, maybe it’s the patchwork Oline, maybe it’s the loss of Rico, or maybe it’s injury. Regardless, this Mason just isn’t quite as good as early last year’s Mason.

SMU's parking is hell on earth. If the DMN is going to bitch and moan about something, do it equally with the university right down the street from ya.

State of this program; meanwhile, we have people on the team that are clearly not scholarship caliber players.

Mason won’t be drafted.
