    4. I have heard Bennett steals all the left socks he can find at night. He hoards them until he amasses an apocalyptic collection with which he can then hold the world hostage until his demands are met: Everyone wears shorts on the sideline.

    Even if any of the above were true, he's still been a MASSIVE step up from our previous sock gnomes.

    no no no, you all have this completely wrong...

    Step 1:  Steal underpants

    Step 2:  ???

    Step 3:  Profit

    A stinking pile of dirty underpants are indeed a MASSIVE step up from the covid version of "defense" here at U of NT.  I'm going back into hibernation again...  carry on all

  3. A Report from Myrtle Beach

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted · Edited by SHOSS

    Since you were there, what happened to 34(Kyleb Howell?)?  They chose not to show what happened on TV.  This happened on a kickoff where there was a fair catch, if memory serves.  I know that it had gotten very chippy, and I suspect they didn't show the incident on TV to prevent stoking the flames even more.  There was no penalty on the play.  There was just a UNT player down on the ground, motionless for a long long time.  They showed a player on the App state sidelines.  I don't think they ever identified him as the guy who hit Kaleb, but they followed him on the sidelines with the camera for a minute or so as he wandered around his teammates.  Did you see what happened?

    Hoping things change in the next 3 weeks. If it doesn't, this is not a promising sign for the future of UNT football.

    At this point, I am still alarmed at being this far down in the CUSA rankings with "hot" new coaching staff and a better than expected season... 

    I hope things turn around, and maybe the "new" coach gave me false hope...  but man, I still feel like this should have propelled us closer to the top of CUSA by now in recruiting...  I would gladly trade a couple of the wins from this past season for a couple more highly rated and sought after prospects....

    128 divided by 8 is 16, number of schools in 8 conferences...  

    each conf has 2, 8 team divisions

    Each conf has a champ from a conf cham game in tourney

    It creates a 16 team tourney...  so simple.

    F the pre-existing monopolistic advantages...   pure tourney style champ.  Level playing field for all of fbs..   ready go!  Regular season would be 10 games to determine each div champs...    

    National champ would play 10 reg season games, conf champ game(16), quarter final(8), semi final(4), and final final(2) game.  14 game season max...done.

  8. What happened......?????

    That was weird too. I've been saying since before the playoff started that 8 teams would be more reasonable. That would use more of the big bowl games for the playoff too.

    So, 128 divided by 8 is 16...  each 16 team conference gets their champ in the playoff...  each 8 team division winner plays in the conf championship game, so it actually works out to be a 16 team tournament....  oh wait, that makes too much sense...  nevermind, lets just continue the monopoly driven beauty contest...  carry on, nothing to see here...

    If i were a fan of houston, i would never be able to look at that burnt orange color without flipping it off...

    The big 12 teased UH and herman was on the way to being the next Gary Patterson...  UT decides it will be easier to take Herman if the UH golden ticket gets revoked and the the UT lemmings help out by unanimously voting to stay at 10...   f the corrupt p 5 monopoly

    LOL now your bragging about where you sat, but yet I never said where I was sitting at the game... So congrats on that and your great view from 50 yards away at least HAHA

    But here is the photo again for you to clearly see where McClain is making contact with the head of the QB. 

    http://www.dentonrc.com/sports/sports-headlines/20161105-losing-mcclain-hinders-mean-green.ece

    But also so you can see the rule and how it is stated here is just a quick bullet point from the rule book, but I will include the link as well 

    Targeting and Initiating Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player  (Rule 9-1-4)

    No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul.  (Rule 2-27-14)

    According to this, what McClain once again did make contact with the Head and Neck region of the QB, who was sliding and thus defenseless. 

    http://www.afca.com/article/article.php?id=2342

    McClain clearly makes contact in the photo, so the only argument that could still be valid is if the QB slide to late, which could be true but once again.. Anything dealing with the QB, is more likely to be flagged and that its a judgement call of the officials. But I'm sure if you were to talk to SL about that flags and the officials he would say that UNT can't and should not rely on them to win a game. UNT plan out got beat and yes losing McClain hurt us, but he clearly makes contact which you see in the photo but thank god it was during the 1st half so he will not miss the WKU game. 

    and once again you can commit the tackle but any blow to the head and neck region of a player with your own helmet /forearm or shoulder pad.

    The qb is a runner when out of the pocket. The cut and dryness goes out the window unless the runner is deemed helpless or defensless.  And yes, i believe the slide was pretty late.  That changes the tackling target from hips to head.  When a tackler is already committed to the tackle at full speed, it is a judgment call.

    What was the reason for the 15-yd pentaly on Chad Davis on the drive that McClain got tossed? Was it because he was standing over the WR waving his arms incomplete? 

     

    Also, it was stupid for McClain to go for the QB there.. the QB had given himself up and was sliding, but the rule of targeting is any contact with the head of the other teams player with the players helmet as well. McClain did hit the QB in the head and that is why, he got tossed. Again stupid play by McClain that never should have happened and McClain had enough time to not dive and hit the QB. 

    My point was that i believe mcclain had committed to a tackle at the same time that the slide began.

    mcclain was about to deliver a hit, and the la tech qb slid late.  It changes target of the offensive player from the torso/hips to the head last second.  I saw it live from the 3rd row in the winged endzone and i just watched it in espn3 a couple times.

    For that to be considered targeting, reviewed and confirmed, is an absolute joke.  They should consider when the player slides.  The qb is a runner at that point, and a safety is looking to make a tackle.  When he is sprinting towards a runner to deliver a legal tackle and is committed to contact, i would submit it is impossible to slow up with a last second slide, causing a BULLSHIT targeting penalty.

  23. DRC: breaking - Consultants report critical of UNT

    Is Nitardy still there?  between my son's baseball schedule and Nitardy's presence, I'm out of the season ticket game. 

    I will come back eventually....  and will even start giving again(after a 3 year break) in the next year or so in all likelyhood especially if there are reported changes in our Athletic Department, but for now, I'm still very very bitter about my past experiences with the ticket office leadership(or lack there of).

    I do miss my tickets on the 45 yard line...  They were awesome, and being able to see my group of friends at the game on 6 Saturdays a year was a ton of fun.  We'll settle for walkup seats in the endzone when our schedule permits for now.  I really really changes are coming...good ones.  until then, we'll see.
