  1. --At this point everyone including opponents are wondering what his NT offense will look like... [ plus the first two opponets are not that far away from Denton ] After a game or two I suspect things will change somewhat..... patience... It likely will be different next year also when teams know what to expect anyway.

    Did I just read this same post in another thread?

  2. Totally agree. Some have the Cowboys winning the B12 north or coming near this year. I think they are a year or two away, but their offense should be terrific and a lot of fun to watch. Gundy is a good coach, and their program is definitely gaining momentum. Doesn't hurt that OSU has a pretty good history of decent tailbacks.

    The ton of money that T. Boone Pickens has given them couldn't be hurting either.

  3. IF TD continues to keep practices closed, think about what it means for our opponents. They will be watching SLC film when preparing for NT. As of now, they have nothing to prepare for. I don't think they will get just a ton of film from the OU game. I think it's VERY smart on TD's part to keep the advantage as long as he can.

    IF the other teams have nothing to prepare for, we can surprise their tails off with our offensive attack.

  4. I know about some of those activities, but chose not to defame the young man's character any further.

    Last I heard, He had been charged and was awaiting arraignment. He has defamed his own character on public record.

    I had high hopes for the guy. I really liked his cadence under center. When he yelled out the plays, it made me want to stand and salute. The guy sounded like a drill seargent on the field. I hated it that things didn't work out for him.

  5. Don't you just love it when any thread can become a new stadium thread?

    I wish we would build a new freak'n stadiums just so we can quit talking about it.

    What will talk about then? How we need an indoor practice facility? How we need additional parking at the new stadium? How about a new golf course at NT? I'm sure we can come up with something to keep our conjecturing minds working.

  6. Byerly?

    I have been a member of this board since the start. I can't remember anyone ever praising Byerly. There were some positive things said about him, but there were also plenty of negative things said. Eddrick Gilmore was the highest rated recruit in his class. He also showed flashed of brillance on the field as a TRUE freshman. Supposedly he has put on 20 pounds of muscle. He could be the next defensive star for NT, if he is eligible. He missed last year because of academics, but Byerly flunked out of school if what I hear is true.

    Joey Byerly had more problams than just his academics. He liked to participate in illeage activities.

  7. Well, the bright side to all of this is that HE WANTED TO COVER UNT. In the past, only the people assigned to UNT would write anything. Now we have reporters complaning that they can't get enough access. That tells me that the arrow of progress is pointed up!

    TD should give him a 1 on 1 interview after practice and all will be well.

  8. I'd like to see us go with GV.

    I know, I know...we want to see what Meager looks like after he has some good QB coahing from Todd Dodge.

    I feel like I know what Meager is. He shows signs of being a really good QB and then......he does something silly.

    GV has less training and experience than DM, but somehow DM can seperate himself apart from the Freshman. This tells me that GV'S stock and potential are on a diffrent scale than that of DM's.

    If this year is all about learning and adapting to the new offensive scheme of TD, then I say start Vizza!

  9. I just got down explaining to some douche that goes to OU what our mascot is on Facebook.

    I don't see what's so hard about us being the North Texas Mean Green. Yes, our mascot is the Eagles but our nickname is the Mean Green. Alabama is the Elephants but we know them as the Crimson tide.

    Here it is in SAT style...

    North Texas is to Mean Green as Alabama is to Crimson Tide.

    Is there something I'm missing or are some people just idiots?

    Think about this. Had the Albino Squirrel Preservation Society been successful in their efforts, we might actually have TWO mascot's and a nickname.

    We could have been:

    The University of North Texas Mean Green Eagle Albino Squirrels.

    Try explaining that one to your average Sooner. It would really bake their noodle.

  10. Sure, and we could also have them play flamenco music with castanets for Calderon, Gomez and Mendoza, the Nigerian national anthem for Durodoye, the Peanuts TV theme for Charlie Brown, and the Lucky Charms "magically delicious" jingle for Fitzgerald.

    Time to move past the stage of gee-whiz, we've got a player with an Italian name. The world has turned.

    OMG!

    GROW-UP!

    Get a sense of humor.

    Try some Paxil. It will help you relax.

  11. No. As with most every form of advertising, ratings are negotiated and agreed upon (for a specific amount of time) by both parties before a contract is signed. As it relates to internet banners and hyperlinks, the two most common methods of tracking are "click-throughs" (also called click-through rates or CTRs) and "impressions". When negotiating on a CTR basis, an advertiser would be guaranteed "x" number of click-throughs for their contract period. Once that contract period has expired a post-buy analysis would be given to the advertiser as proof of performance. If the guaranteed number of click-throughs was not achieved the advertiser would receive make good weight until the desired level is achieved.

    TV works the same way. If you bought a spot in the Super Bowl with a guaranteed rating of 35 but it only achieved 25, you'd be owed 10 more rating points as make good.

    I don't know, but I pretty sure I just learned something. Thanks.
