RamoneArchie

I'm an XL.

Okay, I haven't gone through every post in this thread, but I'm in like Flyn. So, put me in the draft. At 35 I'm making a comeback! I've been away from the board for a while, so how is the mood these days?

I know it's about 3 weeks old, but thanks for the birthday love! I'm actually celebrating my birthday this weekend with a couple of friends who's birthday's are in January also. Again Thanks and Go Mean Green!

Where are the pictures??

Noone really knows what happened except for those coaches that were on the staff...speculation and stories from other sources are usually just rumors or half of the story. And what could Kenny Evans had done about the uniforms? Tell Dickey no? Stop trying to put Evan's judgment in question. Of course I have a more personal view on this subject...the Dickey regime is what gave me an opportunity to become a captain and contributor to UNT my final two seasons. Evans, Dickey, and De Loach have all earned my loyalty for life. I've made mistakes and I would hate for one of my loyal friends or associates to turn on me for those mistakes. Everyone has moved on...Dickey is happy, Evans is happy, and UNT is happy. This started off as a blog updating us on Coach Evans, now it turns into a Dickey Black Uniform Bashing Party....If Evans was really going along with the Black Uniform idea don't you think he would've worn the black coaching shirts and pants too...Get over it and let's support the current Mean Green Football team and coaches. And please stop the speculations...like the JFK murder you will never know...unless stone makes a movie about it.....

I'm pretty sure he is now the Defensive Coordinator at Springtown High School.

RamoneArchie (I use my real name to post..imagine that) 5'11" 205 4.47 (11 years ago), 4.5 (7 years ago) I am not the athlete I used to be. I played in last years game and didn't perform very well. Positives: Played for the Mean Green from 1997-2000 was voted all Big West 2nd Team Saftey and Honorable Mention in 98 and 99. 4th on the team in tackles both of those years. I coach football that might be my best asset to the team. I was coached by Gary Deloach Negatives: I'm a better coach then I was a player (well except for that one year I coached at UNT, I was horrible). My hands are very average, I had one int (Against Arizona State) in my career with numerous PBU's that should have been picks. Predictions: I'm guessing no one will listen to my warnings about my football skills being gone....I'm guessing on a top 10 pic in the draft.... Shirt Size: Largish...

I'm in!!! Could I not be considered a ringer since i'm now 33 and out of shape?

I'm in! Let's do it! I had a lot of fun last year. Oh, and long time no post, how is everyone..?

I seem to remember a young running back recruited by Simon and then converted to Defensive Back by DeLoach and Dickey! He was descent I believe. Man what was his name? This was back in 1998....anybody?

Damon West was the starting QB for the Mean Green in 1996 I believe. I don't know if he started the whole season, but I know he started against Arizona State. We were going in to score, ran an option play and he fumbled it at the 1. I beleive they picked it up and took it 99 yards for the score. Remember Arizona State had Plummer that year and were number 1 for the majority of the year. I believe they lost to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. My details my be a little sketchy, but he did play QB for us.

I would say that Sean Warren is a very solid player and probably got better while at Blinn. How would I know this? Well, I recruited Sean out of Texas High pretty hard, he even came to one of our mini camps. The only problem people had with him was that he was "undersized". I guess he got lost in the shuffle with the coaching change. Good kid and a great support system within his family if I remember correctly. I hope he finally get's a chance to play for the Mean Green.

Like UNTLifer said it's a great honor to be selected to play in these all star games. I know the THSCA All Star game is the biggest honor a kid from Texas can achieve in high school. By the way Texas and Texas Tech along with every other major university in Texas allows their kids to play in this game. I actually coached in this game a couple of years ago and we had several players from these univesities on our roster. The Oil Bowl i'm not sure of, but if you're invited to the THSCA game, you're playing.

The next step in the Mean Green Evolution is to land a big time prospect from our own backyard. It just takes one to start the domino effect.

Yeah, I saw Dennis Hopovac last Sunday in Addison. I wanted to go to a game, but he said they have all away games left. He was excited about the opportunity though. You never know what can happen when you get an opportunity.
