And you left out......
-Music the Green Brigade should play
-How many cars pass through the intersection of I38E and I35W daily? You know, where the soon to be announced stadium will be built.
-When will season tickets be mailed
-Why NT wasn't admitted in the SWC
-4 page thread on the "win that was taken away" against the whorns. Includes video clips.

Someone is in my seat, and I know who you are!
But that's O.K. Wish I could have been there!

If Riley's room has been orange and white since birth and he bleeds those colors, he may stick with TU. Even if he merely suits up for games each year at Memorial Stadium but never plays, he just may be satisfied. Some kids are like that. However, if he's competitive enough, then he could change his mind.

Bret Vito on Belo's Mean Green Blog seemed to think we might see big things out of Jamario today. I wouldn't call what I saw big, unfortunately. If I remember correctly, he got a TD, but I think he wound up netting about even on yardiage. Then they didn't seem to play him much after the first few seires. It would be nice if he could become the threat he used to be...giving the opposing defenses that much more to think about.
I didn't see much of a threat in our running game at all. Handing the ball off from the shotgun needs a lot more work. And lastly, without the draw play, life as we know it won't be the same.

I agree. Mack Brown is a Class act when it comes to coaching. He is not going to do #2. As for Vizza, I think he could come in and play a lot this year.
I think it's great that Mack Brown can afford to honor those scholarships. You see, he can be generous with and $85,000,000 athletic budget, and still growing!

Watching on the game on MG Sports internet broadcast is not the same as being there in person, but here goes.
Pretty much agree on the QB's and receivers. For 15 days to learn a new system, they looked good. The defense looked good as most have described. I especially liked, from the defensive standpoint, that several attempted passes were batted down at the line of scrimmage. That's a really good thing. Gilmore is going to be a factor this year.
Coach Dodge has not implemented his whole offensive playbook, probably due to the introduction of his system in only 15 days, and no doubt because of OU spys in attendance, but I would like to see passes out in the flat to our running backs. And of course the screen pass. Also, I'd like to see the QB under center a few times. Or will this be a 100% no-huddle spread? Not complaining, just asking.
All in all it looked like a very productive game. Very well organized on the sidelines.

Offense 48
Defense 29

North Texas still in the news. From Bob West's column this morning.
"Ever since Southlake Carroll quarterback Riley Dodge committed to Texas a few weeks ago, I’ve wondered how Todd Dodge agreed to let his son go anywhere other than North Texas, especially to a school that probably won’t use him as a QB. I finally found out Friday. “Since Riley is pretty much what we’re looking for at North Texas — we aren’t hung up on whether a player is 5-11 of 6-3 — it wasn’t easy,” Todd said. “But he grew up with his room painted burnt orange. He loves the Longhorns. And I trust Mack Brown and Greg Davis. They were both honest about recruiting him as an athlete. We had a family meeting before he went to their junior day and decided if they offered him and that’s what he wanted, he should take it. As a dad, I’m excited about him playing for my alma mater. As a coach, I’m going to miss him. He’ll be on one the top three quarterbacks in the state as a senior and we could have used him. Texas is one of only three or four schools I would have approved.”
Mosely to be in Denton for game today.
"Nobody was more unhappy than Nederland’s Larry Neumann when the roster of the South team for the July 31 THSCA All-Star game in Fort Worth was announced without the name of the Bulldogs 4A All-State standout Micah Mosley. “I was astonished and disappointed,” Neumann said. “I felt like he had the best credentials of anybody we’ve ever nominated. I know there are a lot of factors that play into the selections, but I think Micah deserved to be on that team.” Mosley, incidentally, is in Denton today to watch North Texas’ Green-White spring game."

It was either that summer or the one before in which the SLC staff attended Andy McColumn's coaching clinic at MTSU. Mac's teams always got their play in from the sidelines in this manner. I'm not sure what part of MTSU's system they used but SLC did install a new part of their offense that was learned from that clinic?

And this is a good thing? Anyone remember how many times we beat MUTS prior to last year? We beat the MUTS spread through some hardnose football and better players.

"The university has raised about $29 million in private donations for the stadium...."
Just a little something I wanted to highlight while I wait on the big spring announcement from UNT athletics. Wait....were they talking about next spring?
-
This is the very reason why programs such as Rice, Tulane and Vanderbilt considered dropping down or dropping football altogether. It's getting more rediculous every year, of course Michigan would really have to get on their spending horse to catch tU and Ohio State.

I look for the NCAA or conferences to make wholesale changes in 1A classifications within the next 10 years. What we will end up with is an "ultra BC$" conference that only the rich and famous programs will be members of. Some of the "pseudo BC$", or as I prefer to describe them, BC$ Lite, programs like So. Florida, Cinncinati, etc. will not be included. Criteria may just be 85,000 plus stadiums that are filled every weekend - for TV, of course!
Who knows, maybe the NFL will buy out the NCAA and take over just the BCS big boys.
I dunno, but the college football dollar spend race has gotten totally out of hand.

For a measuring stick on just how good those NT teams were, the 1968 squad came very close to upsetting Arkansas in Fayetteville, losing by 17-15. Very controvercial call in that contest and a fumbled pitch on a two-point try and we would have tied the Razorbacks who went on to beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl and post a 10-1-0 season.
THAT is a Mean Green team that should have gone to some bowl, fer sure.
Greatest road trip I ever made. Here is a picture from that very game.

Ed Brantley 1965-1967.
"The '67 defense that swarmed opponents with its tough front seven also included Henry Holland, Ed Brantley, Bob Tucker, James Ivy and Johnny Mata."
The article sates he was on defense; I remember him being an offensive tackle.
-
If my memory is correct, wasn't Ed Brantley an offensive tackle? That article really brings back fond memories of North Texas football. I was there.

Pffffffffffffffffffttt. I was all set to listen to the broadcast at 9:30, only to find out it was over.

Is the broadcast available on the web?

Did the city require the same with the new dorms, the tennis complex, the Student Rec Center, the Chremistry Bldg, etc......? I don't ever recall this being an issue since the property being built is on university/state owned land. I also don't think the P&Z has a say in how NT develops its land.
Not sure about the P & Z part, but the city will have to be involved in drainage, sewage, water, etc.

I'm going to check into this. Which one?
or 
All chrome on both?

You mean run a practice?
Speak to various community organizations?

babyarm,
Great signature pic!!

Hey, that's where I sit! Now do you know who I am?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is this area by the athletic village? Indoor practice facility under construction?

I'll add that it means a potential D1A win for Baylor. They must figure the odds are in their favor to beat Buffalo; just the opposite for UNT. And just a guess, but should Baylor become bowl eligible, including a win over Buffalo, the financial gain for a B12 team in a bowl game may outweigh the cost of a trip to NY. Just a guess. I could be wrong.
Texas State To Study Move To 1-a Football

If you go to the CUSA board, there's the annual off season football talk about CUSA expansion in the event of a BSc raid. No one is mentioning NT as an addition. One Texas State Univ-San Marcus fan is really trying to sell TSU-SM to the CUSA board. Like he'll be successful at that.
