Well, we know that we have at least one QB that can get the ball to him, hopefully that QB will be given a little more time to throw this fall.

Ok, I will be assuming that there will be no major injuries in fall practice. I will also assume that the development that went on at QB, RB, DL, and in the OL during the spring continues into the fall. Assuming all those things (and assuming that all of the coaching staff is wearing their "I didn't come here to lose" t-shirts under their game day gear), we should go 11-1

"way ahead of where we thought they would be" could mean anything....such as "wow! they can walk and chew gum at the same time..they're way ahead of where we thought they would be!"

You can buy a pin at just about any auto supply place,......and probably Wal-Mart.

Well, for that matter, just about every High School band program in the metroplex has a web-site.......but not the "Green Brigade".

Jeff, your scathing scarcasm (I assume being directed at the promotions people.....or the lack thereoff) is right on target. However, regardless of how small of a return it was for the North Texas administration (and even if it was totally unintentional), "Band Day" did help create at least one future Mean Green fan............ .........

Hmmmmm, so they didn't like my "fight'n Nutrias" idea.....Oh well. Good second choice on their part. In light of the fact that we had to fight to get "Scrappy" back, can you imagine what the reaction would have been if someone had suggested any sort of mascot name here at North Texas that had "war" in it?

IMHO it's great news.

1. $57.00 for season ticket holders 2. They were very crappy seats...thank goodness for their large jumbo-tron. Oklahoma gives their visitors better seats.

It's not the team that I don't have faith in, it's the attitidue of the coaching staff.......and it starts at the top. A week or so ago, I posted this link. http://www.lighterside.com/website/store/p...%5Fpage%5Fno=21 If you want to see where the "attitude problem" begins, then purchase the T-shirt and ask Coach Dickey to wear it every day of the week leading up to the Texas game. See what he says. While you're at it, you might just take him aside and say "Coach, what's your plan for winning the Texas game?" or "Coach, is it your plan to go down to Austin and win that game?". My guess is that you won't get a straight answer. Now, if you had been around during the Hayden Fry or Corky Nelso era, the answer to the second question would have been an emphatic "HELL YES"!!!! We don't hear stuff like that anymore.

They didn't even mention Stanley (#62). In fact, he wasn't even on the two-deep roster despite the fact that he ran with the 2nd team during all of the spring practice.

You know, a better idea would be to play one game in the infield at TMS on a race week-end. We could do a race/football package ticket. Even if only half of the usual race crowd shows up, we'd have about 60K at the game.............

That would be the UTA game. I won't mention the score. We faced a future NFL star in Dexter Bussy in that game.

If Coach Archie coaches in the same intense manner that he played for our program, then we are going to see an improvement at the RB position. Ramone Archie (#25 on your program) was a hard runner, and as a Safety was a hard hitter.

Huff, according to the official NT press guide, there was only one game played in September of 1960.......I'm talking home or away. Sept. 24th vs UTEP was the opening game of the 1960 season.....we tied them 16-16. 1960 was a nine game season! Was that the case for all of the NCAA teams, or just us?

Probably the homecoming game in 1963, which was Wichita State. North Texas won the game 7-3. I think Dwain Bean and Bobby Smith were the star players at that time. My HS Band attended the homecoming....along with other local HS bands.

Coaches move around to different positions all the time. Remember this guy? http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArticle.db...300&ATCLID=8859 When he was at North Texas he was the OC. Coach Archie played RB for at least one year at NT. That means that he probably played it most of his HS career.

Thanks. Interesting info.

A. where did they find Coach Carthel? B. Was he instrumental in turning around the program in his previous job? Or did he work for someone who did? C. Do you know approximately what Coach Carthel's salary is? D. How would you describe his personality? How much does he get out into the community to promote Buffalo Football? F. How much does WT A$M charge for season tickets? How much for walk-up reserved seat tickets?

bump

I did.

I think I'll call it the "Hayden Fry/Corkey Nelson" T-Shirt.

That stadium was still there (well, mostly) in the mid-to-late 60's and I can confim that it had more than three rows I was on campus one spring with my HS band for a UIL contest. During a break, we stood out on the back entrance of the old Lab School and watched the spring Greek Olympics going on at old Eagle field. You know, as I recall, the sight lines were better at Old Eagle stadium.

Well, he was here as an assistant for a season or two. We also had the services of this guy for a few seasons. http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArticle.db...300&ATCLID=8859 I believe he was the OC when he was at North Texas
