Does anybody remember Potty from the old Paradise board? He had threatened to 'Poat' over on the TCU board as much as and whenever he wanted. The typing error in the threat led to some of the most humerous pages ever on Killerfrogs. Potty last posted on the Mean Green board in August 26, 1999. We were notified by the UNLV guys that one of our guys was trapped on one of their older boards. He had started posting on the UNLV message board in anticipation of the opening game of that season and got stuck in a Runnin' Rebels board. Something was wrong with his computer, it had set that UNLV message board as his home page and would not let him leave for another web address. He was desparate to escape, rebooting his computer and unplugging his computer but nothing helped. He couldn't get out. For weeks, maybe even months, after the game Potty was still stuck in there. If any North Texas fans ventured over there and answered one of his multitudes of lonely posts you would be bombarded with questions of what's happening on the Mean Green board. After a while I guess we all just forgot about poor Potty. I wonder if he's still out there, trapped, still carving messages in the walls of some obsolete UNLV chat room.

Absolutely! Look how it has destroyed Boise State recruiting. Recruits don't want to go to a school where they can't have the honor of being publicly humiliated in the largest forums possible. Why would anybody ever want to go to sleep at night without hearing sometime during the day how much they suck. Not saying this is the case at good ol' NT, but at other schools, selling "body bag games" is an easy way for an athletic department to mask the fact that they are not getting their job accomplished through legitimate efforts. Sure it destroys the programs image and it's ability to succeed, but it's a hell of a lot easier than scheduling home games, selling tickets and subsequently building a fan base.

That's an old LSU trick. They send their larva over to chant "Tiga Bait" and tell you how much your team sucks. When you try to run off the little assholes, their parents are "only doing the right thing" by violently defending their sweet little innocent angels. My wife and I walked to the stadium with another couple who were carrying their baby daughter. A group of LSU drunks started yelling insults, and hurled a full beer can when they didn't get the reaction they were looking for. It bounced harmlessly off the sidewalk into the grass, but would certainly have been horrendous if it had hit the baby. A person I know got in trouble when he was a student at LSU for throwing a bourbon bottle during a game. The bottle knocked one of the LSU female cheerleaders unconscious when she was struck in the head. The offending student was caught and brought before the university for discipline. His excuse was that he was drunk and had intended to hit the visiting team when they were emerging out of their tunnel. That made the incident somewhat justifiable for the LSU folks. He received no suspension, just a stern warning. During the 2000 game LSU fans kept reaching over the rail and answering the sideline phone that the North Texas coaches up in the press box used to communicate with the quarterbacks on the sideline. Several of the little jackasses wanted to start trouble when a couple of the North Texas fans politely asked them to please stop.

Gawd, I didn't remember that I was the one that turned off the lights in the original old message board. Yeah, we had Whitman Mayo that hated Trilli, and we had LoyalFan that loved Dickey. And a motley crew that formed the original Mean Green Club, back when it was run by the fans, under the direction of Mean Rob. I still even have my original Mean Green Club polo shirt although I haven't worn it in years. I can't seem to part with it. They were certainly distictive. I still remember how so many people were wearing them at the 2000 game in Waco.

It was the first of the Mean Green Summer Kickoff parties and was held at Harry's house in Arlington. Since 1996 North Texas fans had by chance stumbled accross the North Texas Eagles forum on the old Paradise Message Boards and Harry's Mean Green Recruiting while surfing this new internet. It was the first opportunity for many of the posters from the several very early North Texas message boards to actually meet each other. Darrell Dickey was unable to attend but he did send his popular new offensive coordinator Ramon Flanigan. Dickey's absence was easily overlooked as much of the excitement at the party surrounded dynamic basketball coach Vic Trilli who was coming off what would be the longest winning streak of his 4 year career at North Texas (back to bact wins against Nevada and Utah State to end the 2008 season). I wonder how many of those old guys are still checking these message boards. I originally posted under the generic moniker GreenFan. Sound off if you were around back then. If it was different than your current one, what was your original message board name.

[ Oh well, I guess it never really hurts to lose track of your own sports minded millionaire letterman. Who needs stadiums anyways.

Yeah, I'll probably have a Redeye beer, but I'm really not that crazy about the egg. As far as tailgating beer, my preference is for a ice cold lighter type of beer when it's still hot outside. oh, and go vote for North Texas (click here)

Several players were lost to graduation, but those injuries, especially on the offensive line, will certainly affect them against deeper depth charts like at UT. I wonder if Howard may be forced to eat his "UT players are soft" quote.

Well, North Texas has now been caught by two of our regional rivals. click HERE to vote in TEXAS FOOTBALL poll It really doesn't matter much if at all, but then again, why not beat these guys?

Anheuser-Busch's best known beers include brands such as Budweiser, Busch (originally known as Busch Bavarian Beer) and Michelob families, Bud Light, and Natural Light. Since the original post in this thread I have discovered Shiner Bohemian Black Lager. It's not exactly a tailgate type of beer, but an outstanding quiet evening beverage. Similar aroma to Michelob Dark with a more robust flavor. Well, this week I'll be heading to Kansas where the locals drink their beer Red (mixed with tomato juice). No exactly my first choice, but I'll probably have one just for tradition's sake.

Redshirt Riley this year. A-11 in 2009!

Nope. Per Wikipedia: Lone Star is owned by Pabst. Production of Lone Star is currently contracted out to non-Pabst owned breweries (e.g. Miller Brewing Company in Fort Worth). The InBev purchase of Anheuser-Busch in July 2008 prompted Pabst to claim to be the largest American-owned brewer. In fact, it is a "virtual brewer," a marketing company whose 85 brands are brewed by either Miller (South African owned) or Lion (Indian owned).

With the July sale of Anheuser-Busch to the Belgians, the Budweiser and Michelob products join Miller and Coors as being foreign owned brewers. Anheuser-Busch sold to Belgian company Yes, I am well aware that during the last decade many American Businesses have been sold to foriegn ventures. But I refuse to voluntarily support any country that practices economic warfare against the United States if I can possibly avoid it. The Shiner products are Texas brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas and owned by the Gambrinus Company in San Antonio, but unlike the foreign owned brewers, Shiner doesn't sponsor North Texas football. Any suggestions?

I think that is the case. I updated the UNT site about fifty times and never got an SMU ad. I doubt very many people actually saw it, but it's still funny as hell that it was there and that it got some feathers ruffled.

I just looked on the ponyfans site and this was posted by Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex: Now, that's some funny stuff.

Check out the poll on the bottom left of the page. TEXAS FOOTBALL poll (Click Here) Sure we should support our own school, but shouldn't we also accept this opportunity to dogpile another?

I haven't seen it on the site, but if true, I think it's pretty funny. North Texas has always been their Super Bowl. Remember this past season when SMU fans on their own site said that the North Texas game was the most anticipated game of the year? It wasn't even close, someting like 70% of their fans said so. More SMU fans were looking forward to the North Texas game than all CUSA games combined. They were willing to scrap this whole past season to concentrate on their chance to beat North Texas, and now we can see that their obsession with North Texas continues. Although it sure seems early, they are probably starting to get excited about the series that starts in 2016.

I'm sure that is the way most fans have voted. TEXAS FOOTBALL Poll

We all knew what you meant to say, we were just having a little fun with ya.

Willis is a very good athlete, but not the prototype quarterback for the June Jones offense, and his history of suspensions don't help his case. The two freshmen are both incredibly accurate passers but will also make their share of freshman mistakes. Willis could possibly win more games this year, but it could be at the cost of delaying the full implementation of June's offense. This is officially a rebuilding year at SMU, and coming off a 1-12 season, there is nothing wrong with that. Willis may ride it out for the next two years to get the diploma or he may transfer within the next week to a Playoff Championship Subdivision (1-AA) school where he can get more playing time.

I think it took everyone by surprise, kind of like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

Hakeem, Craig and Earl. No way on journeyman Nolan Ryan, unless they put it where it belongs, right behind a sculpture of Mike Scott. Abner Haynes, Joe Green, Don January and Ann Sheridan (strictly for aesthetics)

Utah State was already getting pretty bad before Dickey got there, Dickey is just speeding up the process. Unfortubately for Utah State, their anemic offense doesn't draw fan interest and they may soon be removed from the Bowl Championship Subdivision because of their low attendance.

Maybe Mayberry Louisiana had something that Mr. Roman desperately needed.
