  1. While I am thrilled that a highly rated prospect would choose UNT over more recognizable programs, I am thoroughly perplexed as to why he would choose to come here instead of a Big 12 school (who also happens to have a new, highly-touted coach) where he could play the position where he proved he could play and wanted to play. :blink:

  2. No, I don't think it was one of those that was talked about. I can't remember the name, one I hadn't heard before...just looking thru the Denton listings: maybe Central Grill, Sunset Grill, Green House, or Pecan House? Anyone mention one of those in a thread this week????

    Isn't Sweetwater Grill right off the square?

  3. Transfer Question: Does this scholarship apply against our 2007 allotment, even though he is sitting out and not eligible, or 2008 numbers? If he is on ship during a sit-out year then 3 years of eligibility, plus one or two past ship years, that could be 6 scholarship years in college, or more if he was to transfer again. Is scholarship years unlimited; I know playing years are not?

    Unless I'm mistaken, every year he is receiving a football scholarship, he counts against our allotment.

  4. The Mean Green blog mentions that Kenny Evans has been hired at Louisiana Tech.

    One quote that kind of worries me is "It wouldn't surprise me to see Evans assigned to recruit the Dallas-Fort Worth area and Texas junior colleges for Tech."

    I trust Coach Dodge's judgment above my own as to who would best help UNT win, but Coach Evans was one that may have been wise to retain.

  5. Funny his name should suddenly appear - I was looking at IMDB after talking about "Necessary Roughness" with a co-worker the other day, and stumbled on this:

    Dennis Parker .... Prison Guard

    I wasn't around Denton when he was coach, so I don't know what he looks like, but why wouldn't it be him? I'm sure FFR can confirm it...

    Is there supposed to be a photo at this link?

    I've slept since last time I watched Necessary Roughness, but it seems I remember something about (our) Dennis Parker being in it - maybe he played an opposing coach?

  6. Mustain is a cry baby. Arkansas had an incredible season because they put the ball in the hands of the players who could make it happen. Sorry, but Mitch Mustain wasn't it, and anybody who puts his own self-promotion above the success of the team isn't worth a scholarship dime.

  7. I agree it would be cool to get some new uniforms this year, but I hate this new light shade of green they have been using. A new uniform would most likely incorporate that light green color. I would like to see and all green uniform (sorry guys i like it) like we have now with some black thrown in hear and there. I would also like to see an eagle of some sort on the helmets instead of North Texas.

    Ditto on all the above.

  8. But alas, Mustain might leave Arkansas after offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, Mustain's high school coach, bolted for Tulsa on Monday to join -- you guessed -- apparent long lost friend Graham.

    I hadn't heard about Malzahn leaving. I thought Graham was out of his mind to take a lateral step at best in leaving Rice, but leaving the Razorbacks for an assistant position with Tulsa?!?

  9. SMU is a bunch of punks. We need to play them(and beat them) every tear. I would happily drive to Ruston every two years. I would drive to Tulsa(albeit not happily) every two years. Memphis has good BBQ. Isn't UAB close to the ocean.

    I lived in Memphis for 2 years, and they have no clue what good barbecue is--they think it's sacriligious to barbecue beef. And that runny, vinegary sauce. And they call Texas Bar-B-Q roast beef with gravy on it . . . I had to defend the virtues of Texas Bar-B-Q on an almost daily basis.

    Birmingham is about 5 hours from Gulf Shores - Troy is probably a couple hours closer to the ocean.

  10. I can handle the black. My BIGGEST pet peeve with FB uniforms is when teams (including UNT) do one color, i.e. green jerseys, green pants, green socks. That looks SO high school and Thug like. To me, uniforms always look better with contrasting pants.

    I don't know--I think when you are the "Mean Green," you have the right to be in people's face with green.
