Weird... I had andrewrozell and TheBandMan.

Banhammer.

I miss Jonas Buckles. Booger got the most press, but Jonas just hit people so hard... Anyone know what he's doing these days?

Emmitt is my homey... but even the bonds of brotherhood cannot stop the banhammer. In other news, with this warning, Emmitt has moved into a tie for first place with JayDub for most penalized poster of all time. Can he take the top spot? Only time will tell...

Just moved it to the VVIP.

People citing "inside knowledge" are a dime a dozen. If they decide to share their sources with moderators, we can check them out and decide if it is legitimate. If not, you should take it with a sizeable chunk of salt.

Are you bored? Wishing you had a way to support your school this offseason? Or do you simply have a keenly honed sense of irony? If so, please go rock the vote here. We can be on the cover. Lawlz.

I am going to use this as an example, since I see a lot of this line of thinking. Saying "I'm not arguing" and then following it up with "I don't see how X merited a punishment for Y" is debating board policy. If you really feel your human rights are being impugned, you are free to post somewhere else. You have been warned.

Jeez man. You've come a long way from D400. I am truly and duly impressed. Oh... and banhammer for coffee. Even in the slime pit that is Non-Unt News, name calling is still verboten.

Like a small, round stone, Resting on the river bed, I cannot answer.

VVIP

As we enter the offseason, I would remind everyone to please post topics in the right forum. For example... A thread about Johnny Jones' run at a national title would go in basketball. A thread about Angela Lansbury's attempts at necromancy would belong in Non-Unt Sports. A thread about UNT's new Metaphysical Ontology graduate program would belong in UNT News. A thread about the proper use of the semicolon would belong in Non-UNT Sports. A thread about the ladies' soccer team beating West Virginia would belong in Mean Green Athletics. A thread defending the merits of mass defenestration would belong in Non-UNT Sports. A thread about a job opening at your place of business would belong on the Mean Green Job Board. A thread about the latest 2010 recruit would go on the VIP Board. A thread about the status of Todd Dodge's contract would go on the VVIP Board. A thread posting a heartfelt apology for throwing fuel on the fire that there actualy IS a VVIP board would go in Non-UNT Sports. And, as always, remember to be civil to each other. If you feel the need to hurl an insult, do yourself and everyone else a favor and walk away for a while. Love, The Moderating Team.

This thread is where off-topic signing day posts go to either die or feast in Valhalla, pending your afterlife views.

Please keep the offhand comments to a minimum in this thread, please. Minnie Driver, while certainly a terrific onscreen talent, does not have as much to do with North Texas football as perhaps she did in the past. Hijackings will be moderated.

Yeah... if we want to discuss the signings, that's fine. Just try not to devote an entire thread to just saying someone signed.

Please keep politics off the main board.

A wise man once said "Hope is not a strategy."

To me, there is not one single game on the schedule that is a sure-win. Not being pessimistic, not trying to kick the dog while its down, and not saying I know something you don't, but I haven't seen ANYTHING that would lead me to believe this year will be better. The best you can argue is that everyone is better "with another year of experience," but, man, I must have been hearing that once every year i've been following the program. But what about our new QB? Defection, suspension, or graduation of your best receivers? Piecemeal offensive line? Paper-thin defensive line? Swiss-cheese secondary? Awful special teams? Questionable playcalling? Lack of halftime adjustments? No team leadership? Do any of these sound like hallmarks of an improved team? I would say we would be worse, but I can't bring myself to call for an 0-fer season for my team. We might squeak one out, but, for the life of me, i can't tell you which one. We aren't arguing whether 6 or 7 wins counts for something, like we had the luxury of during our Sun Belt dominance. We're starting to question if you can salvage anything meaningful from three wins in two years. I admire the guys who truly believe we have a shot at a 4+ win season. I hope with every fiber of my being that you are right. But an ill wind is blowing here, and, if I had to bet my own hard earned money, I'm not calling for more than a win or two in 09.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again: no personal attacks.

GMG Recruit Reconsidering Committment Another key pickup may be on the rocks By Matt McCombs, Moderator Gomeangreen.com's committment from The Tasty Greek is starting to waver following a visit to his hometown Ty Sports Blog. Tasty is said to be reconsidering his options after a late offer from the currently-defunct website. Quoner, a Senior Outside Agitator at GMG, was quoted as saying, "I think gomeangreen has a lot to offer, but Tina might be a better fit for him at this point in his life. But, of course, we'll continue on doing what we do best: sweeping generalizations, mind-numbing reductions, evocative arguments and polarizing stands so futile they make the Alamo look like the Battle of the Bulge." Added Quoner, "/Sarcasm." Tasty becomes the latest in a stream of GMG posters heading for the exits, after key players Eppy4Life and The Fake Lonnie Finch both tendered their resignation posts. Gomeangreen is 3-20 the past two seasons. This does not include a disputed loss to ponyfans.com, as it is still in review by the SMU Athletic Forum, who in no way reflects the attitudes of Southern Methodist University. Matt McCombs is a moderator at gomeangreen.com. His opinions are solely his, as is his at-work boredom, and in no way reflect the opinions of gomeangreen or the administrative team.

Maybe I'm a football moron, but I'm a little unfamiliar with this arrangement of the front seven. I'm guessing you have d-end on the weakside, left tackle, nose tackle, and right tackle over on the strong side. Then you have two linebackers, but I have no idea what Mon is. Maybe some kind of Monster lining up wherever it is best to scare people. Monkey? Monday? Money? Mons Venus? Is this a 4-3 with weird names? Or is it some strange variant of the 4-2-5?

Genius.

EVERYONE here is welcome on the board, so long as they follow the rules. Disagreeing with you, unfortunately, is not against said rules. This kind of comment is really crass and has no place.

Well... that's got to be the easiest vacation I've ever sent someone on.
