I find it funny that everyone picks us to crush La Tech and barely beat Tulsa when;
1)La Tech is on the road and Tulsa is at our house
2)Tulsa had one of 1A's worst defenses last year
3)Tulsa is the home opener

Why is Chris Simms holding up 1 finger with one hand and 2 fingers with the other? Couldn't he have just held up 3 fingers on one hand? Or was he trying to say "we're #1 or #2 - just take your pick"?
No, he's playing the shell game on the Jumbotron. "It's under helmet number 1!!....No, wait, it's under number 2!!"

Harry was reminded of an Eminem song?

I know where I will be visiting tomorrow.

"little 'ol North Texas" I dislike inaccurate reporting.
I believe he was actually being complimentary by using a bit of sarcasm. He was parodying those that look at North Texas as the weak kid brother.

I hear that speed kills.
Only if you don't cook it correctly.

I brought this back all the way from page 4.

If it weren't for stupid DWI court I would be there.
Jeez, isn't my report where I said he was drunk good enough?!
-
It will be "North Texas" in a new font.
-
If those rankings held all season (i.e. those rankings predicted wins and losses), I would be very content with a 2 loss season.
I would be far more than content, given our holes to fill this year and the "experience" we'll have next year, I'd be ecstatic. Plus, I think the N.O. Bowl will line up favorably this year with Tulane.
-
Wait, you mean the amazing UT ground game that "won't miss Cedric Benson" is only 42nd?
-
True, but UT's defense from last year WAS NOT the defense they had two years prior.
Last year's offense scored 0 against UT. -

Look, I've done this about four times prior to football seasons and it's not that big of a deal. Again, if anyone would like to do it this week just say the word...let's take some initiative and not wait for some phantom spirit organization to do the heavy lifting.

I would avoid Wal-Mart and major chain retail stores b/c they will tell you what they have told me many times in the past..."We aren't run locally and we'll have to ask our national office..." Which will turn into one of two things: A "no" answer or never hearing from them again. Also, banks that aren't Wells Fargo are generally not very receptive because the posters say Wells Fargo.
Places to DEFINITELY hit. Rudy's, JT's dugout on the square, Beth Marie's, any and every bar you can find, all of fry street, up and down university drive and, though I've never tried it before, the high schools wouldn't be a bad idea.
When do you plan to do this? I'll help if it's next week Tues, Weds or Thurs during the day.

I was thinking about how the athletic department could raise some money and an idea struck me.
How much would one of us pay for the ball that PC uses to break the school career rushing record? How much would the ball that Jamario carried to break the single game rushing record fetch? The cleats Kennedy wore in his last game? Scott Hall's jersey from his last game autographed? How about one of the game balls from the bowl win in 2002? I have one of the balls from the '01 game in Idaho that clinched the first bowl bid and I wouldn't part with it.
They could call the memorabilia the "Mean Green Milestones Collection" and auction off things like this to raise some money for scholarships or whatever. I'm sure one-of-a-kind pieces like this would picque the interest of quite a few people.

I had the opportunity to meet Meager last night (while buying a drink for PC and J Quinn...they are 21 right?). A few things struck me. First, he's not the behemoth that Byerly is. Second, he looks like a quarterback. Whatever a quarterback is supposed to look like, he looks like that. Also, Quinn introduced him as "the future of the Mean Green" so I guess he's already got one leg up when the go to receiver puts stock in him.
-
I'm sensing you aren't too keen on Ieans. Why?
He thinks he looks too much like Byerly.
-
You're not missing much if you don't pay for it. A few interesting tidbits though:
1)Only 10 other teams in the history of college football have won 4 straight league titles.
2)Dickey is 37-46 at North Texas. If, if, we go 9-2 this season he'll be close to .500 at 46-48. 10-1 brings him to .500 as a coach.

Harmon Forecast for opening week games. Has the Mean Green vs LSU game closer than most.
LSU 23 North Texas 14
Kansas 24 FAU 21
Kansas State 37 FIU 7
Alabama 20 Muts 7
ULM 34 NW State 14
Missouri 31 ASU 9
Texas 38 ULL 12
(Troy not listed)
If the ULL game and our game are anywhere near this close then we'll go 10-1. But they won't be.

Cert. of Authenticity?

Well, since I don't believe any of our guys are in it, I'll have to make comments on other teams.
UT represents. Colt McCoy just may have the Longhorns saying "Perri-who?."
This Jermichael Finley character, WR at 6'5", 218 lbs.... yeah, read that.... NASTY. Big and strong. May not have the speed at the next level, or may not have the speed for the NFL, but he's a man among boys in this competition, with the best Texas High School players.
It's not Colt McCoy who will have UT fans singing his praises. It's Sherrod Harris that will be the stud.
