I predict it'll be an uncharacteristically high scoring affair, but Schnell is going to get his B'Owls kicked by the Mean Green.

He did play a couple minutes in two or three games this past February doing mop-up play. Why, I don't know. If they had held him out of those games he would have three years of eligibility remaining. ,

Plain an simple, the offense works. Sure Tech doesn't beat Texas, Oklahoma, and TAMU consistently, but Tech has never been able to recruit on the same level as those programs. Idiots said years ago that the Run & Shoot was just a gimmick because the top ranked Miami Hurricanes handled the Houston Cougars in a nationally televised game. What they didn't take into account was the incredible talent that Miami had amassed could outperform even the best of offensive schemes. Houston, although good, never recruited at the level of Miami. A high percentage of those Miami players wound up in the NFL. Like Houston before it, Tech has benefitted from a highly productive pass intensive offense. The strategy has lifted Tech to a level that never would have been atainable with a conventional offense.

2008-2009 school year No, I can't tell you sources, but FFR can verify that my source is credible.

Mac was right about Vince Young. Vince may not necessarily have been the best pro prospect, but he would have been the best selection for the Texans. Not since Heisman winner Earl Campbell was signed by the Oilers has a Houston pro football team had a serious following outside the gulf region. Vince would have solidified a statewide following, and they could've traded Carr for draft picks and solidified the lines.

I support Mr. McIngvale 100% in his decision to name the practice facility after Coach Dickey, and I also salute his loyalty to his friend. Let's face facts, for his donation he can name the facility after anyone that he wants. If the facility isn't going to be named for the donor, then I would much rather have it named after a Hall Of Fame coach than after some other person not even connected to the university. Actually, even without the donation, I would still like to see something dedicated to each of our HOF coaches. Someday people will be talking about the Dickey years in the same way people now talk about the Fry years: deny it, but you all know it's true. I hope we have something besides printed material to remember them. There was nothing on campus dedicated to Hayden Fry when I was at North Texas during the 1980s, and where are the monuments to the golf championships? We have a proud heritage, we just need need a few reminders of it.

If you live in the Houston area, the Mean Green could use your support as they battle a regional team.

Can we please stop with the insults. Everybody may not have loved certain coaches all the time, but those guys have played important roles in the history of our program.

THE PAGE WAS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT. Please read the above statement slowly.

Marc, I was so waiting for Quoner to bust you for that quote.

Keep winning and we will by conference play. Wow, what an impresive victory.

There is a full page add in the DRC titled MEAN GREEN? explaining his views of the situation.

Yes, Dickey belongs in the North Texas Hall Of Fame. His 2001 trough 2004 seasons clearly earned him that honor.

I have said this before... I would like to see Hayden Fry return as head coach for ONE YEAR with Todd Dodge as his Offensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach, with Dodge contracted to take control in 2008. The hiring would give North Texas tons of positive publicity. Fry is a master at putting together excellent coaching staffs and could work with Dodge building the best available. Todd Dodge could tranition into the Division 1 head coaching position, and would still have some time to follow his son's senior season at Southlake. So the choice is simple; we could either choose Obi Fry Kenobi and Todd Skywalker, or we could submit ourselves to another Attack of the Crones.

The NBC affiliate in Austin had the best view from the back of the endzone and was the defining Zapruder film for this incident. Cash dove after a ball that was sailing out of the endzone, had both hands on it as his knees and feet left the endzone, and had the ball aimlessly rolling out in front of him when he got to the ground. You can see Cash looking frustrated by the missed opportunity directly before the official signals touchdown. Cash later admitted that he didn't think it was a touchdown, but he certainly wasn't going to argue with the referee. It was one of two very questionable touchdown receptions by UT that evening. Oh well, mistakes happen. They just look really fishy when those mistakes happen during possibly the only game in history that UT wasn't penalized a single time during play. (UT had received a dead-ball unsportsmanlike conduct penalty)

Former TCU athletes Virgil Allen Taylor, Shannon Behling and Lorenzo Jones were charged last week with sexual assault. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, Taylor is accused of luring an 18-year-old student to his dorm room Oct. 13 under the guise of repaying money she had loaned him to buy a hamburger. There, the woman told police, she was given a sports drink that caused her to pass out. The woman told police that she awoke briefly to find Taylor having sex with her. Taylor, a 19-year-old former TCU basketball player, told police that the girl was unconscious during sex and implicated Behling as well, the affidavit states. He also told police that he saw Jones, 20, a former football player, having sexual intercourse with the woman. Taylor and Behling are free after posting $25,000 bail each and have returned to South Carolina. Jones remained in the Tarrant County Jail on Wednesday morning

Here is alittle inside info on Carson Coffman from www.wildcatdaily.com this August after 3 scholarship quarterback had left the team during the off-season ____________________________________________________________________ Also at practice, although not in uniform, was freshman Carson Coffman, who was officially added to the Wildcats' roster this week after Evridge's departure. Coffman is still rehabbing a shoulder injury and may not have full shoulder strength until mid-October, but could provide some depth at quarterback for the Wildcats late in the season. "Carson Coffman is a player we recruited in the last recruiting class, anticipating that something like this may happen," said Prince. "He's a terrific player with a good resume, so we're anxious to get him in here and working." Coffman, a freshman from Raymore-Peculiar (Mo.) High School, originally came to Kansas State as a gray shirt, which means he was paying his own way in the fall semester, but was expected to be put on scholarship in the spring. However, after Evridge's transfer, Coffman got the call from Director of Football Operations Sean Snyder on Friday morning, informing Coffman that he was being put on scholarship. Coffman shined at Ray-Pec during his final two years, throwing 42 touchdowns to only eight interceptions while leading his teams to back-to-back state championships. "The thing I liked about (Carson) is that he was a very accurate quarterback," said Prince, who mentioned another accurate quarterback he once coached at Virginia — Matt Schaub, who now plays for the Atlanta Falcons. "I'm not ready to put Carson in (the NFL Hall of Fame) just yet, but he was that kind of player on tape and that really excited me."

Rick was hired at North Texas in April and the basketball coach had just been released by the University President (Pohl) and several players had left. Since, as SUE pointed out, the position must be open for a month before it's filled, Rick had to work fast to get a basketball coach in place before the summer signing period. Rick picked Johnny Jones whom he had seen be successful leading the team at Memphis and successful as an assistant at Alabama and LSU. Jones may not have been the best hire in the world, but he has been pretty good. He quickly resurected a depleted, horrendously bad team to being average. I'm not content with 'average', but it's a hell of a lot better than where we were with Trilli. Believe it or not, this will be Johnny's first season playing only his own recruits on the court, and several of the newer players were quite highly recruited. This season will be the year to determine if a Johnny Jones team can be better than just average.

Is there any news on men's recruits for this signing period? I haven't heard any names even mentioned. With 3 seniors (Young, Watson, Davis), shouldn't we have 3 scholarships to offer for next year?

Who needs a search committee when you have gomeangreen.com?

I would love to see Nelson Barnes hired as our defensive coordinator. The man coaches with an enthusiasm and intensity that hasn't been seen in Denton for many seasons. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe his players always respected him and excelled under his guidance. North Texas alumnus Nelson Barnes

Like Tim MacMahon, I am ready for some Dodge Ball in Denton.

Everyone starts with the initial 15 clickable smileys. After you have achieved gmg-select status you'll get the other 35.

I too feel that there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.............unfortunately it's an oncoming locomotive.
