  1. At least they have the ability.
  2. That is a shock. I imagine his parents will have little trouble bankrolling his education without a football scholarship, but I would have figured Tomlin had more passion for the game than that. I wish him well.
  3. We definitely want to hold onto those other OOC games. How much would LSU have to pay us to back out?
  4. SMU has only verballed one of the DMN's Area 100 - and he's #96. Contrast that with UNT's 8 commits on the list.
  5. Great PR. As Hayden Fry noted, North Texas really has something to offer, and our current coaches are apparently doing a good job of showing that to recruits. As an aside, I still think the optimal situation is to have Riley redshirt.
  6. Thanks for the recap. Wish I could've been there.
  7. Been wondering the same thing. If anyone can give a quick "Rivals Team Points System for Dummies" overview, it would be much appreciated.
  8. Thanks for the update. I certainly wish him all the best in whichever way life and his choices take him.
  9. He still shows as a solid verbal to NT (http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewp...674&sport=1). I don't see any real reason to question his commitment, do you?
  10. It's official: DeLoach hired at UNT Former UCLA safeties/special teams coach Gary DeLoach can expect a warm welcome at Saturday's football banquet after the season UNT's defense had. Head coach Todd Dodge said Thursday that DeLoach is the Mean Green's new defensive coordinator, replacing Ron Mendoza, who was fired Jan. 2. DeLoach coached at UNT from 1998 to 2002, the last three as DC. DeLoach had a few connections to UNT other than his previous experience. Current offensive line coach Spencer Leftwich, who also worked at UNT under Darrell Dickey, is a former colleague. While at UCLA, DeLoach passed through Southlake while recruiting Dodge's players at Carroll High School. "The first person I thought about was him," Dodge said. "I checked with [coaches] I always lean on, two or three people, and asked their opinion. They mentioned Gary, who I was already thinking about. It just confirmed what I was wanting to go with." DeLoach has 28 years of college coaching experience, 13 as a defensive coordinator. A Houston native, DeLoach has other stops at Texas A&M, Stephen F. Austin, New Mexico State, Trinity Valley Community College and the Frankfurt Galaxy of the now-defunct World League. Despite changes at UCLA with the hiring of new coach Rick Neuheisel, DeLoach had a chance to stay at UCLA, with much of the defensive staff retained. Family ties in Houston and the chance to rebuild a UNT defense that helped win four consecutive Conference titles (2001-2004) figured into the move. DeLoach's first day of work is Friday, Dodge said. http://startelegram.typepad.com/college_football_confiden/
  11. Thanks for bringing that thread back--looks like nobody thought it would really happen. Sometimes "too good to be true" ends up true after all!
  12. I hope we're thinking a little bigger than that. 2008 - Dangerous Sun Belt opponent 2009 - Sun Belt Champs 2010 - Potential giant killer
  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understood the initial beef not to be with the cost of the seating, but with the way it was structured to discourage someone buying a whole bunch of seats.
  14. Well, to my knowledge, Todd Dodge doesn't post on this board, but you do. Care to elaborate?
  15. We weren't going to be playing Miami anyways. They will be opening a new stadium and were looking for a higher-profile opponent.
  16. I think that might be the only stadium fundraiser idea that has not already been proposed on gmg.
  17. I highly doubt that this guy ever saw a snap this team played. Overall, I was impressed with the way the players picked up TD's offense. The rest of what he wrote is pretty much on, but I have a feeling he got that by taking a quick glance at a stat sheet and reading someone else's review.
  18. That is an interesting matchup. They play some pretty big teams tough. They beat Navy last year, lost to Nebraska by 1 point, and played Illinois pretty tough. I would think by then that our defense will have made enough progress that we should expect to beat them, but we'll see.
  19. Here is the article from the DR-C - basically the same, but a little longer. http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...4.51712fbe.html
  20. Way to go, JQ! Will definitely be pulling for you!!
  21. This site shows final rankings only. It shows North Texas as finishing the season tied with BYU for the #16 spot in the coaches' poll in 1977, but nothing in the AP poll that I can see.
