[Proud of the effort shown last night]

Yeah, I’ve seen optimism on Twitter from players and families. There must be more to the story. The team played hard yesterday. Effort needs to be given throughout the week as well. Coaches, players, etc.

Yeah.  I’m a sucker for finding games that have some semblance of relativity to our season.  

Yeah..I was going between the SMU and Missouri games. Getting my scouting report ready

There’s a lot of funny stuff on this board, but for some reason this post literally made me LOL incessantly more than anything in awhile. 

Same.  I try to explain the jokes to my wife and it’s just crickets.  The forum cracks me up, though. Good stuff. GMG!

Recruiting.  We cannot get a steady stream of quality recruits to play at North Texas year after year.  The kind of recruits that make a difference.  The recruits that “want” to play here.  NT, the University, has some kind of reputation that sticks with us year after year.  Teachers college, music school, whatever.

Respectfully disagree. It’s not the lack of recruits. It’s been said before, but it seems as though it’s been tough for SL to find replacements for the coaches poached for P5’s.

Wish I could make it. I went a couple of years ago. Great atmosphere!  GMG!

Sipping the green stuff this week. SL said the team was close. It all makes sense in two days. We establish the run behind Blair and play action our way into the end zone.  GMG!

I like this combo. Just win, baby! GMG!

[Did anyone go to Rudy's tonight?]

I listened to the show today. SL said, “We’re very close.”  Or something similar to that phrase when he was referring to the team/offense. What exactly does he mean?  40-6, man. What am I missing?

I’m not being smart…I don’t quite understand what he sees, I guess.

PB said on one of the shows, “Tyreke can play on any team I’ve ever coached”

[Do we stand behind Littrell?]

Support the team. We showed up for the UTEP game when Chico was interim, we’ll be there October 15. GMG!

Hmm.  I'd love to have been in the meeting where this was discussed.

"We have <X> Season Ticket holder accounts.  We need to think about what we're going to give them as thank you gifts."
 - "Hey, let's order <X-1,000> blankets."
"Why would we order 1,000 less blankets than the number of accounts?"
 - "Because, F'em!"
"Done!  Next agenda item: Which items should we replace in the team store so we can buy more blankets and charge the rest of our season ticket holders for them?"

I’m still laughing about this comment!

Agreed.  Nothing slows down an up-tempo offense like stopping to look at the sidelines.  

I don’t have a huge problem with this offense. It’s the dropped passes/underthrows/etc that bother me more!  😂

[Week 3 vs UAB Poll]

Ruder and the passing game take a huge leap forward in this game. Defense remains disruptive.  A UNT win signals the arrival of a  new era of Mean Green Football in CUSA.  GMG!   Bring me my Kool-Aid!  

[GoMeanGreen.com Recruiting Show Podcast #39]

Gave it a listen this morning. Good stuff. I appreciated the insight into the RB room. Man, Adaway’s injury was big.  Next man up, though. GMG!

[Pre-UAB Podcast tonight - give us your questions.]

Is the defense that was present for the first  2 1/2 stanzas versus SMU the same defense we'll see the rest of the season?  How do you see this defense performing in CUSA? The offense?

[12 point dogs at home]

I think it opened at 15?  The gamblers are picking us to cover the spread!  Smart bet. GMG!

[Bball gym!]

Is this where they play/played Intramurals?  I was a student from 01-05.  I didn't realize it was where the team used to play.  Pretty cool.  Wish I knew that at the time.

What on earth has Wren done that you think he needs to go? He's been far and away one of the best AD's in the state. He did not hire Seth Littrell. 

You’re right. I had forgotten that RV hired Littrell.  Ruder has had some struggles, but has been improving. This guy will earn his paycheck this year.

Side note: my wife was disappointed the band didn’t make the trip. 

[UAB and La Tech are MUST WINS]

Good stuff. After NWSt, I thought this team was set for 1-3 or 2-2 at best. After the SMU game, a 3-1 start is very possible. This defense is stout. The offense is a few plays away from being really good.  Their best football has yet to be played.

Compared to six years ago, this team is stacked with talent. If Wren does end up going a different direction, the next coach should have a full cupboard.  I’d rather it be Seth next year, though. Tee it high, baby!  GMG!

I'm glad you had a good time! I hope most UNT fans did! Like i said in the OP I do not want to generalize and lump all SMU fans together. I talked to and met plenty who were more than cordial and respectful last night. 

Yeah, I mean I did hear some chatter about “I can’t wait to talk sh*t!”  But like you said, that wasn’t the norm. Last night was a step back offensively, but I think we redeem this loss next year. GMG!

[Get a Grip]

We’re 1-1. If the defense can keep competing and Ruder Can continue to improve, then UNT can compete in C-USA…maybe even a bowl. 

Mordecai was the biggest thorn, man. His mobility was a difference maker. He scrambled and kept plays alive when there should have been sacks. He consistently converted 3rd downs.  It wore down the defense and it showed up in the 4th.  Beat UAB. GMG!

[Bulldog fan PLEASE HELP!!! Hate SMU]

“Saturday’s are for Sonny” shirts we’re being being passed out last night to the students.  Maybe someone more clever than I am can think of something to do with that?  Good luck this week! 

[Disgusted by the SMU Gameday experience.]

Sorry you had a bad experience. Ours was alright. Late lunch around 4 at Mockingbird Station, walked over, walked the stadium, sat in 217 away from all the riff raff, cheered on the Green Guys, walked back to Mockingbird Station.   I would have really liked to come out with the win…or at least a closer finish. Oh, well. Next year.  GMG!
