Look forward to learning more about your team!

You raise a good point, but I am an advocate of redshirting as many of your true freshmen as you can especially now while we are rebuilding the program. Edwards as a JUCO transfer would of course be an exception and he is expected to make a major impact - once he arrives. Now that said, if one of them just completely impresses the coaching staff in the Fall camp you have to get them on the field. I feel like Dawson got a raw deal last year and as a senior deserves the benefit of the doubt.

nice find SUMG...

I'm with Nautique - I think Dunbar is going to be terrific in this offense...

I have an updated blog entry on Cole on the front page with some article links. Sounds like Dodge has reeled in a nice player at a critical position (DEnd) http://www.gomeangreen.com

My wife still laments the day the Texas Pickup burned down and she went to UT! She loved their chicken tenders which were some of the best I had ever had. It was in a great location too, you felt like you were in the midst of the campus.

My vote as it has been in the past, the boiled Ham and Cheese original at NY Sub-Way!!! No substitute!!! Crushed ice for the fountain leaded Dr. Pepper. Mean Green Helmet on the wall. Close to ATM and the stadium! Quick, cheap and good! Definately the best choice for creatures of habit like myself. Feel free to convince me to go somewhere else, but I probably won't change my mind!

Why is it that we didn't tie this young man to a professor/mentor at UNT who would help him navigate through to eligibility? I was not even an athlete at UNT but I had professors who mentored me through difficult subjects. Why was he allowed to dig such a deep hole in the first place? We are going to get other players that aren't Rhodes Scholars and we need to set up an infrastructure to deal with it...this is a issue that we will continue to face. Everyone knew that this kid was a critical component to having a chance to compete defensively this season...were there any steps taken to help this kid get through school? Please don't come on here and talk about how the kid is responsible - we all know that every student athlete has obligations to make the grade. Clearly this young man has had some challenges that should have been identified early on and addressed. What I want to know is why this kid slipped through the cracks, what could have been done to prevent it and here is the most important part, what are we doing to set up a system that will allow for more academic success stories like Jonas Buckles who also came from an inner city school and was an honor role student at UNT? I understand that losing players to academics is not necessarily a UNT phenomenon, but I want be more comfortable about the system we have in place, ie are the players who have not been prepared identified and given adequate resources, and managed/verified consistently to overcome these obstacles. This system is critical to our sucess down the road folks, it is very important that someone is taking some responsibility for it.

Savage, everyone in the SWC was paying players back in those days. Give em a break - that was 25 years ago!

This is a smart move for SMU - the traditional uniform from their glory years is cool. White helmet - red stang. They are going to be formidable under Jones. Since we aren't playing them for awhile I will be pulling for them especially against TCU...

No way to sugarcoat this one...this is a major blow. Really the only proven defensive end we had since Horton hasn't stepped on campus.

Looks like a new o-lineman from a 1a program will be joining us. Good frame/size at 6-5, 260, hope he can play.

Best wishes to my good pal GB.

no that picture is Bugar - I think Bleil was in the press box...

Blue shirt was not Bliel the Blue shirt was Mike Bugar. He did that so it would be easier for his defensive line players to see him on the sidelines.

Its a slow time of the year. I think the main message is that June Jones and SMU will be a big competition for recruits because of the similarity of offense.

Welcome back Green Grenade - you have been missed!
