I think it looks great on my desk top, tablet and I-phone.  The ones it pisses off are the tech gurus/nerds.  It is a step in the right direction and looks great.

[Texas Rangers 2016]

Sale may be a head case and if he doesn't like the heat, then he doesn't need to come here.  Rumors out there that we may pick up Sabbathia.  I would not deal profar, but would be fine with letting Gallo go. Cabrera is already a two strike player, I believe, so I would also pass on him.

 

BTW, watched the 30 for 30 short last night, The Deal, about the Rangers dealing ARod to the NY.  We took a SS prospect Arias when we could have had a 2B prospect named Robinson Cano.  Hart was a terrible GM.

Four of the dots represent the four major recruiting services...247, Rivals, ESPN, and Scout.  I'm not sure who the fifth one is.  The number of dots 'lit' indicate how many services have rated the candidate.  247 has worked out an equivalent to their grade.  

For example, a 5.2 grade by Rivals may be equal to a .7420 grade by 247.  They've used some algorithym to equate another rating service to their grade.  However, if they graded the recruit an 80 then two dots would be lit and the player would receive an average grade of .7710 (.7420+.8000/2).  If at least one of the rating services give him an 80 equivalent he is considered a three-star athlete.

 

 

Thank you.

Let's let the Big XII implode, pick up the pieces and form our own conference, The New Southwest Conference, UNT, TCU, Tech, OSU, Rice, UTEP, Southern Miss, LaTech, Baylor, Tulsa and UH.

The Horny Toad Café at I35N and Loop 288 was good this weekend.  They have a Mean Green cocktail and a Mean Green Chicken dish, one of our party ordered and raved about, so they obviously support UNT.  I have heard Texas Tapas was very good.

Baylor should worry about cleaning up their own house prior to commenting on potential neighbors.

To the right of his 247sports rating of .7709, there are three small dots, out of five, highlighted in yellow.  What do these mean?

[SMU making pitch to Big 12]

Of course this crap makes the Sports Page headline in the DRC. Why in the world is SMU news worthy of the headline in Denton's paper.

Dodge make two horrible rookie mistakes, the one you identified and the decision to drug test the entire team.  Both approved by RV.   

And our so-called experienced athletic director allowed both to happen.

Probably just all that hatred I propogate...

Good Lord, man. Get off the "you can't ever criticize how people donate" high horse. 

Giving money and expecting nothing in return is a problem. This mindset is the reason RV could coast for 10 years without consequences. 

So no, giving money and not caring about results is not acceptable to me.

And I really could care less whether you like that or not.

The problem is that MeanGreen_MBA never said he didn't want UNT to win, never said he picked Club Seats to rub elbows with the AD, didn't pick Alabama out of thin air as a comparison, etc...  You just twisted everything to fit your agenda.  He stated he liked to social aspect of being up there which to me is no different than saying I like my seats in Section 106 because I like the people that sit around me.  Sometimes it is best to just bite your tongue or maybe realize that a lot of people share your passion to see us succeed, but they go about it differently.

I've got the UNT representation. Ran into Brandon Jackson here too.

UNT's got a great presence here. Lots of energy. Sat next to Brandin Byrd at the Sonny Dykes section. Ran into Giovanni Vizza as well.

Can't say enough good things about UTSA's Frank Wilson. He's going to do big things. 

People said the same about Dodge and Mac.

I'm away on vacation right now( I know, vacation and talking UNT athletics can't co-exist), and your post reminds me of an article from the Dallas Morning News back in 1993-94, written ny Skip Bayless. I think.  Skip talks about how North Texas always "sticks their toes in the athletic/football waters to see what the temperature is like.  They pull out if it's too hot or cold.

when I return home I'll quote his exact words.  Here we are, 23 years later, still testing the waters.

I would give you a +1 except for the Skip Bayless reference!

 

The above is sad but true.  We are like the big mouth in the neighborhood spouting off until someone calls him on the carpet and he slinks away.  It is time to put these words in to action.

[Potential next AD??]

Sorry, I've had UNT90 on ignore, one of his inane posts slipped through and I have been pissed off ever since.  A real nice start to my Monday.  Anyway, my post did come across a-holeish.  My apologies, carry on.

Thoughts?  Move your UT/Baylor recruiting argument to a thread dedicated to UT/Baylor recruiting.

Back on topic, the Toledo AD and Farmer from ULL should be at the top of the list.

[Harrell needs to jump on this NOW!!]

The administration at North Texas acts like they are scared to be a big football school.  The alumni want it, the students want it and the administration talks like they want it, but their actions never back this up.  Do something different, take a chance, but quit acting like you are afraid someone in the Denia neighborhood is going to slap you hand if you actually put forth the effort.

She asked if I could give him her number if he was interested. I haven't talked to him yet but I doubt he will buy. He has a lot on his plate this fall including getting married. I have 4 tickets so he can always go with me.

Quality sales professional we have here.  She leaves the ball in his court by relying on one person to pass along her number to another person, so that person can call her.  Or, she could have written down his number when offered and made the call herself.  Sorry Brittany, you need to be fired.  And our Athletic Department wonders why our season ticket and MGC sales numbers suck.
