Instead of changing the fight song to remove the opportunity to insert the filthy phrase, how about asking the students use another phrase. Why not mother loving? Or how about mother hugging? The current action taken is going to create a game of whack-a-mole. It's an invitation to create new ways to be offensive. When someone is openly trying to be annoying, the worst mistake is to let them annoy you. That means you lose. You're now on defense. Probably best not to act in locus parentis. No one wants to lose touch with future alumni.
How about just practicing a little class? There, I asked.

He just doesn't. I know he probably does his fair share of recruiting, but there's no mention of it. If he's good at it, then ut's site did a poor job of conveying that. I think the hire will need to be an excellent recruiter in addition to being a good coach. However, I do love the fact that he's from here and played here. I'm not saying he would be a bad hire, just doesn't do a lot for me. It could work out perfect though, because I think Augie's days are numbered. So, he could be looking for something.
Fair enough. Thanks for explaining. Honestly! I don't know what kind of recruiter he is, but he has lived and breathed the sport since he was a youngster in Denton's Little Leagues.

If Flash admits to "cruising" then so be it. I don't think any of us were as critical of Mitchell as this basketball writer, and he is a paid professional.

Really?! We, or I should say you, are going to drag Benford into this forum? I could careless where the young man is from if he makes us better.

Looks like quite a bit of love for Mitchell also, so I guess the love was shared.

I'm not a music history buff, so you all haveme there, but I have one question. "When they stopped on Hickory in honor of the late Band Director, did they yell MF'n Eagles?"
-
You know tony was really like dodge in football; got lots of press & he never lived up the the hype! Or am I missing something?
Tony who? Benford or Mitchell?

The band didn't start singing that part and the words weren't added. Keep grasping.
Good Lord you are dense.
So adding inappropriate words to our fight song by late teens who think being cool is using the term MF is okay, but the band, showing some class and respect towards our school, working to eliminate this isn't?
Please keep replying and proving my points for me.

Extremely immature. This is cute. Funny you mention bubble, as apparently you want to raise your kids in a bubble.
As far as Who? goes, they taught us it at Orientation. That's here to stay. If the band cuts the UNT part of it this year, the SGA is filing a complaint with the band director and RV (I have heard from VERY reliable sources through the grapevine). If the band wants to change it, they'll have to put it up for a vote. And it won't pass.
Did the SGA vote to have derogatory terms added to our fight song?
You are obviously not aware of the old saying "Better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and prove it."

For the record, I'm a current student and I think adding "Mother F***ing" to our Fight Song is absolutely stupid.
It doesn't make us look "edgy" or "sharp" or "current."
1 -- It makes us copy-cats -- as some of the very proponents of it have admitted.
2 -- It makes us look extremely immature. It's like the kid that drops the F-bomb in front of his parents at the dinner table to see if he can "get away with it." The "parents" (administration) have spoken and said it's not okay. But administration and authority be damned. "We can't be told what to do, we're being creative!" *by copying someone else* Get over it and move on.
3 -- Just because you are okay with shouting the F-bomb in front of kids, doesn't make it okay. But come on -- nobody is stifling anyone's creativity by asking us to avoid obscenities in the stands.
Now, I do realize children will hear things, regardless. But there comes a point when people need to look beyond the scope of themselves or their own little "bubble" and realize they need to respect other peoples' boundaries as well. I know my children will eventually hear the F-bomb somewhere and I'll have to talk to them about it but I'd like to delay that conversation as long as possible until a time where they're able to handle it. Plus, I'd prefer my six year old not start singing along with it just because "the cool kids in green started doing it."
-- Franchise
There is hope for our future.

character issues or not he just does not seem to make very good decisions in life
http://milehighsports.com/2012/09/27/mhsm-exclusive-the-story-of-brock-berglund-2/
reading the above story which is him telling his side of things it really just comes off as BS
bad decision #1 he switches from CU to KU to "crack the depth chart"
he graduates early in Dec so one would think he can concentrate on football
then a few months later in April after breaking up with his girl friend a few days earlier he is back in his old town for a "house party" (why don't they call then just parties any more when did they become house parties) and just happens to run into his EX.....and oh yea of course "she was not suppose to be there" and he is "surprised" and it was her that wanted to talk even though she was there with someone else....and yes unfortunately in todays society girls tend to do stupid things, but instead of THINKING "I am a freaking college QB on a Big 12 D1-A team and I graduated early to get away from this high school drama BS" (IF his side of the story is even close to factual and that is a big if) he instead agrees to talk to her
so stupid decisions by the boat load already
he ends up in a fight with the guy she is there with and he gets hung with a freaking FELONY...so yea either a whole lot of people at the "house party" that his ex and her companion were at did not like BB and told the cops a whole lot of stuff about what he did or his ex and the guy she was with have a whole lot of pull with the cops in that area and the cops in that area can't stand him because I don't see a whole lot of people getting charged with freaking felonies for defending themselves against a 5-8 drunk guy...I mean really this crazy girl that is not suppose to be at the party and her drunken companion that is not suppose to be there just somehow either got everyone at the party on their side or the cops ignored the fact she was all crazy and her companion was all drunk and they were not suppose to be there anyway and hung Brock with the felony charge.....seems Brock is really good at making friends
so he spends the next 9 months going back and forth to Colorado 40+ freaking times because he is still hung with a 3rd degree assault that the STATE is going after after their own investigation.....pro tip here.....HIRE A BETTER LAWYER I mean damn.....who needs to go to court that many times for just "shoving a guy" that was not suppose to be at a party that got in your face all drunk when you were just having a "talk talk" with your Ex in the kitchen......either someone that is full of BS or someone that has a lot of people that don't like him....or both
so far the whole going to KU vs CU thing to get a starting spot and leaving HS early to get a jump on winning that spot is really not going so well....KU switches coaches.....fat charlie front butt tells him that he will not have a chance to be a starter according to Brock.....which really I think charlie front butt is kind of an idiot, but would it really be surprising to a guy that has spend the last 9 months in online courses, being a distraction to the team, going back and forth to Colorado to deal with his high school legacy crap and overall already showing the new coach that he does not make the best decisions that hey you are not going to get a chance to start until you prove you can even be around for practice and not make an idiot of yourself again at some house party
so instead of realizing that he really has something to prove to EVERYONE especially a new coach that has a lot to prove himself after running a program like Notre Dame into the ground and somehow getting another chance Brock decides to transfer...and of course there are two sides because that is what you get when you deal with people that don't make wise decisions....he has said all along "he is a Jayhawk" but of course fat charlie front butt "knew he wanted to transfer"
and again I am not a fan of charlie front butt and I think he could easily make vengeful decisions himself, but instead of just letting a guy go that he told was going to be a back up and that he knew wanted to transfer he decided to start dragging him through the mud and refusing the transfer.....again I think that charlie can make stupid decisions, but is that REALLY how you want to get rolling with all that kind of crap and drama....and either way chalk up another case of "Brock making friends" because yea people are just out to get poor Brock
then he has to go to court to get released.....manages to win (hey finally making friends) and then when Ole' Miss calls and he is all "happy cited" and then KU sends Ole' Miss an email saying he is two credit hours short and can't transfer......I mean REALLY......you fight a court case for 9 freaking months going back and forth home 40+ times......you take all these online courses and have this great GPA.......you have this team of lawyers ready to get you off of major charges and ready to get you released from a scholarship.....and your too dumb to make sure you have everything in a row to actually be able to transfer.....again this sounds an awful lot like a guy that just needs to get it together and start making better decisions UP FRONT before having to go to the legal team....really already it sounds like a guy that feels he is entitled and has his head in his ass and a bunch of his parents cash to spend to get him out of his stupid decisions
so he calls the adviser he had a great relationship with and an hour later she calls back and basically gives him the Heisman right to the face and says she can't deal with him anymore....once again making friends!!...and his own words tells her to shove the phone up her ass.....way to keep it classy there Brock because yea the adviser is really the one that makes the decisions to not deal with you any longer after you freaking SUED the university....sounds like a real level headed guy to me that easily handles adversity...and of course it is all the advisers fault because they are suppose to know that you are being set up to look to transfer so instead of just taking classes while you are flying back home 40+ times to deal with high school drama they are suppose to run your academic life for you and think it all through for you in case you want to transfer.....because that is really the job of an academic adviser to make sure that you as a QB getting a free ride while doing pretty much nothing but bringing drama to the team needs someone to make sure they have all their ducks in a row if they decide to cut and run yet again
so then he decides on the community college route....heads to AZ.....they have a lot of QBs competing for the position....and suddenly "something" does not work out and here he is at north Texas
and even better is the guy he did not stick around to back up at KU has now left KU and he is going to CU because the guy that managed to make the cut at CU is leaving because he will have to compete for the job and did not want to.....so yea about that decision to not go to CU....
and lastly instead of concentrating on actually playing football he is now dealing again with the NCAA trying to weasel some additional playing time because apparently he thinks that pissing away one season dealing with your high school drama (and eventually taking a red shirt) and then pissing away another year with transfer drama makes him eligible for some type of needed ruling from the NCAA to say how many years he has left
really just comes off as a very unstable person that looks to walk in and get something instead of stepping up and earning it and he really needs to get over the whole "my legal team is coming for you thing" and instead step up and actually concentrate on football and perhaps trying to actually beat someone out of a job on the football field instead of beating something in court
all of those issues are not specifically tied together, but some people just make their own bad luck based on stupid decisions and based on very short term thinking and Brock seems to be one of those people and he seems to not get people on his side very easily other than those here on GMG that wish miracles from a guy that has only shown instability and poor decision making and lack of ability to look at the long term consequences of a whole series of bad decisions he has made much less step up and take responsibility or share blame for any of them
and the above shows just more double talk.....he is carefully weighing his options and making this big business decision (apparently not too well)
he says he is looking at Liberty as the only D1-AA school because of his relationship with Turner Gill.....but in the next paragraph he talks about how he better understands how to choose a program and he won't be wowed by weight rooms or a campus
so which is it did you like Coach Gill and that is why you went to KU or were you wowed by the weight room and campus and it was all a mistake.....that you apparently did not learn much from because you were in and out of AZ before you took a snap or a class...so much for that wise business decision.....and that ESPN article further clarifies the "imma git my lawyer!!!" attitude he has....I guess that all did not go so well trying to get out of being enrolled at KU on a technicality....but hey it is only cash on lawyers and time wasted thinking about how to get out from being responsible for any decisions you make huh....better luck next time!
You are obessive.

I agree and how anyone disagrees, negative points, is beyond me.Another amazing confession of not playing hard. No matter who the coach is or how the team is doing overall that is inexcusable.

If she has signed her LOI, then what is the purpose of the wait.

Yea, this guy's been been talked about on here before. He seems like a good fit, but he doesn't excite me.
Why?
I grew up playing ball with Skip and would love to see him come home. Tim Tadlock, another from Denton, would have been on my list but I think it would be tough to pry him away from Tech.

Possible best of all memories: hanging around Odus Mitchell, as a young sportswriter for the DR-C. He was gracious to me, encouraging, made me feel like a professional, although I was really a glorified amateur. I always stood a little taller when I was around him.
I grew up with his grandkids and my Dad used to play golf with Coach Mitchell at the old golf course where Apogee now stands. He drove around in his own golf cart. It was blue and had, what we called, dingleberry fringe around the roof. He made me feel that way as a kid. He was a great man and I am happy he was chosen the Coach of All-Century Team. Wish they would name the field after him.

Wow, what a finish to the round. Cal and St. Mary's could be tough to catch, but a Top 5 finish is not out of the question.

Harry,
Yes we are in contact with him as he is a friend
of my grandson. He came to homecoming with
us last year and I introduced him to the great
Booger Kennedy. I've seen him play since pee wee
and yes he is a stud. We need to may sure Mike
Simmonds comes to the the Sachse spring game
May 21st. Ron
Glad to hear we are in contact, but considering the Baylor article and the teams after him (UT, OU, Notre Dame, etc...) would he consider North Texas?

That speaks volumes.
Especially when you pick Troy over supposed offers from Western Kentucky, St. Boneventure and NT.

What color is the sky in your world? Only you and your extremely small but EXTREMELY vocal band of apologists seek to consistently crap on the rest of us who want basic things like accountabilty, on-field progress, and transparency. I get it. I really do. RV and company make you feel special and loved so you are forever loyal. When you stroke your pet enough he'll defend the house from all intruders. But, pretty please, don't pretend to speak for North Texas alumni at large or our too small fan base...one group can't be bothered to buy the product and the other (with the exception of your ilk) has had enough of being served bologna and being told if we can't recognize it as steak it's OUR taste buds that are off.
Funny, seems you felt the same way until the AD determined your services weren't needed like they were in the past and started ignoring or not utilizing your ideas. Not trying to stir the pot, just posting my observation., because I sincerely appreciate all of the hard work you have provided the program and athletic department over the years. I just find it interesting that you really became more cynical once this occurred.

Brian Waters was Number 40 when he played at NT. Remember him well.
I do to, but with all his moving from DL to TE and back would lose the average fan that doesn't follow the team like to posters on here.

Love the video. A couple of things that stood out to me.
1. The defense tackled extremely well and played with discipline.
2. 1:13: TD pass to Chancellor. Great throw, great blitz pick up by Byrd and great catch and run by Chancellor.
3. 8:52: Screen to Brown. Brown did it all on that play.
4. Jimmerson's 39 yard screen. A little patience to set up his blockers and he might have gone all the way.
5. 2:45: Olen's first FG. The guy in the stands trying to catch the ball cracked me up.
Should we all do the fight song dance next year?

Fight song
in Mean Green Football
Posted · Edited by UNTLifer
First off, I sincerely thank you for your service to our country and am glad you made it home safely.
How would you feel about adding the same term into the following song just prior to United States Marine?
From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines.
Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.
