I read the Athlon article referenced... After reading the comments regarding the other "top half" teams in both the east and the west.... I came away with this: The rest of the conference does not think favorably of UNT and aren't scared of them compared to the other front runners.... They LOVE La Tech....LOVE UAB.....but basically UNT is a fun offensive team but nothing else This is a good thing

exactly right. They have 2-3 good programs at the top and the rest is the definition of G5

Boy.....CUSA West is gonna be horrible this year.

I would assume so... With the new red shirt rule....I would love to see some of the young guys get some reps. All indications are Kason Martin is looking good so far. He may force himself onto the field at some point...

This may be weird...but I find it hard to eat at the games.... I usually scarf down whatever I have (hot dog, etc) But I can't focus on food. I'm too "pace-ey" or something. I can eat at any other sporting event...but it's difficult for me at Mean Green games The beer however, flows down my gullet like a roaring rapid...but I just have a hard time sitting and eating during the game.... My kids will love the mini corn dogs though....kind of excited about those

I never heard that. Good stuff. (Would love another Chris Hurd on our D)

Nothing against Ark St.....but I don't get it either Does Phil Steele have influence here? He put them in his top 25. Do people that vote just look at lists and basically copy them? Like I said...I'll root for Ark St...but I don't get the top 25 love... being in front of UH, USF and Fresno is a little ridiculous

I’ll just leave this here.

Man....August is going to craaaaaawwllllll

I know for most (like me) every game seems like the most important. But that first game vs SMU is so big as far as measuring sticks go. Take the fact that it's SMU out of the equation. They are still really talented and this could be a close game. We need Apogee to be ROCKING for that game. Seems like a big win maybe confirms what we may think about this team. A loss? Some question marks may remain. We win and we could be looking at a 10 win season...we lose and I won't know what to think about the team. Who knows....maybe those close wins from last year do turn the other way this year.... It just feels like there's a lot riding on the first game of the season as far as measuring stick.

you may be right...doesn't have to have a name Maybe I mean just a #6 shirt...that will work

Maybe they'll have some Mason Fine tshirts? for kids? When will the new stuff be available? (I need to make a trip up to the stadium...)

http://shop.meangreensports.com/North_Texas_Mean_Green_Mens_T-Shirts/Mens_Kelly_Green_North_Texas_Mean_Green_Personalized_Basketball_T-Shirt here are some basketball ones... I swear I saw some other ones somewhere.

I've seen some tshirts that can be personalized with name and number on the back for adults. Do we have that option for kids? I'm gonna say we'll need some #6 Tshirts this year.

Oh man...don't have GMG.COM opened while you're on a video conference call....I just busted out laughing. 😅

I hear you but everyone knows SMU has money. They’ve never turned that endowment into sustained on field success or real athletic support. What I'm saying as far as perception goes....the more UNT alumni that speak up....the better the perception will be. If we're going to continue to be seen as apathetic towards athletics (which we're improving in that aspect) then yes, the respect won't be there.

Except in the grand scheme of things, no one in Dallas cares about SMU As for reaching out to the writer....make sure we're not rude. I think the best thing UNT fans can do it just show our numbers when something like this happens...we are not the apathetic group that was here several years ago. People are taking notice and now alumni are taking notice....I would like to see UNT alumni start pushing back. We have what most don't.....NUMBERS. It's why deep down inside....we are threatening to a school like SMU because they don't have the numbers. If this thing continues on the path it appears to be on....they're going to have to watch as the "giant" does indeed awake. They'll never admit it and they'll always look down on us....because you now...SWC and stuff. But they're a nobody to everyone that is not associated with SMU or holds on to fond memories of 1982. So again...despite their little efforts to keep us as irrelevant....they will have no control over it. So when we see things like this.....I say pound them on social media and comment sections and show our sheer numbers. They'll start saying: "Whoa.....what's going on in Denton?"

HORRIBLY weak excuse.....they were all over twitter yesterday (and by the way....no other letter holds a candle to ours....kudos to our graphic design team)

Go on twitter and pound them with mean green football mentions. @MeanGreenFB

LOL....fitting...the whole article is about FBS G5 schools, then they have a list of FCS schools and UTSA is on that list.....where they belong anyway: Here’s a few other names that will be around college football outside the P5 who came through Independence in the last few years... DB Dior Johnson - Murray State QB Alin Edouard - UTSA WR Terry Tillmon - Houston Baptist LB Kirkland Joseph - Stephen F. Austin RB Robert McKnight - Abilene Christian OL Isaiah Edwards - Indiana State DL Creo Argue - Alcorn State RB William ‘Boo’ McKnight - Northeastern State OL John Draper - Southeastern

Let’s GOOOOOOO!

Will you receive the marriage license via fax in February?

We’ve reached the preseason camp equivalent of “they’re tired of lining up against each other”

Come on.....I know you’re thinking it. Hedlund lining up for a game winner in their stadium next year?
