  1. We might allow Michigan State to use "Sorta Mean Green"
  2. I believe that the third starting linebacking position will be a battle between C J Garnett, Chavez Brown, and Blake Fann. Two of these (that do not make the first unit will likely be on the second unit with Carson Kropp.
  3. Beating weaker teams in the AAC > beating weaker teams in CUSA.
  4. I was reasonably sure that Blake Fann wasn't going anywhere. I could be wrong but I saw that there was a picture of Blake signing some type of document. True walkons don't sign anything they just show up. There could only be three reasons that he could be signing anything I reasoned. 1) He was a preferred walkon signing a document guaranteeing him a scholarship next year, 2) He was signing for a scholastic scholarship that he qualified for which he will use his freshman year, or 3) He was receiving NIL money to cover the cost of his first year and will receive a scholarship his sophomore year.
  5. There are 14 members of the American Athletic Conference. That leaves 13 to be played. If we have a 4-4 record that's 8. FAU, ECU and us add 3 which totals 11. There must be 3 more that we don't play.
  6. i' still the optimistic type that thinks that we'll end this coming season in fourth place. If we hadn't lost so much talent I'd have picked us higher. I don't worry about this coaching staff now. I've seen the enthusiasm and the speed in workouts that exceeded my expectations. This is likely our best class so far but the Class of 24 seems bent on improving that.
  7. Harry, I'd like to throw a few kudos your way also. Way back when this format started it was a breath of fresh air because it was totally different from what we were used to. Instead of commenting on the previous comment you came in and gave us different categories of subjects to talk about. It was a totally new and fresh concept. I don't know much about the workings and maintenance of this board. I would imagine that there is some return on investment but I believe that the new format was done mostly (or totally) on your dime. I am eternally grateful that you gave us GoMeanGreen.com. You've done more than your share to keep us all informed and together in our support of UNT. (I'm working on getting used to that but North Texas keeps getting in the way.) We all owe you far more thanks than you receive but you seem happy to keep providing and improving GoMeanGreen. So, I want to thank you again for the service and dedication that you provide and are now set to improve. You are the best. GO MEAN GREEN!!!
  8. My bad. You are right. Although I saw it recently I didn't check the original date. I believe now that it was a reposting of last year's thread.
  9. I saw recently that KD Davis is returning for his last year. So I'd guess that it will be KD in the middle flanked by Brown and Wood. Strong first unit. The battle now is who will be on the second unit. I'm thinking that Fann and Leota are likely to be two of them.
  10. Actually, getting picked for last place is a blessing. If there is where you finish they agree that you just inherited the worst players. If you improve by a place or two, the experts will say that he got the most out of the players he inherited.
  11. I get the San Jose State games although I likely won't live long enough to see them play in Denton. They are FBS and a member of the Mountain West Conference. North Alabama is an FCS program in the United Athletic Conference. If we are going to play a FCS team at least schedule with Texas teams. There are three in that conference...Stephen F Austin, Abilene Christian and Tarleton State. We have played and are scheduled to play SFA and ACU but I don't believe Tarleton State is on our future schedule. Why not them rather than North Alabama? I believe that we should be playing nothing but FBS teams in the future; including at least one P5 team each year. I predict North Alabama won't fill half of the stadium. My guess is that our new golf coach, who came from there, is somehow involved in them being scheduled. I hope that's the case because it makes some sense.
  12. Have a great birthday, George! This year is becoming the best that we've had in a long time. Hope that this is the beginning of a long run of good times for you. I'm wishing you the best.
  13. I'd send a letter to all that have been season ticket holders explaining that we have moved up to a better conference; one that will eventually have an annual revenue from media about three or four times the amount that we received when in CUSA. But, for now, we are nearly last in giving even though we are the second largest university in the conference. I'd also make sure that all of the ex-lettermen club received pleas to make a donation if they possibly can. We need more season ticket holders which I seem to recall that JM gave a special deal for season tickets. Maybe we could have a benefit and publicize the event throughout Denton.
  14. It's like this Silver. I was nine years old when he played and I'll be 92 before this season starts. I vaguely remember the name as a track star.
  15. He wanted to play wide receiver; not tight end.
  16. Coach Cobbs, it's going to take a miracle for you to win this recruiting battle.
  17. There are no quads with 14 teams. If there were sixteen we could have four quads and schedule the closest teams twice but would have two teams that we couldn't schedule in the same year.
  18. Wouldn't there still be several times during the game that the game would be stopped for television commercials? But yes, it would still speed up the game considerably. I don't really see a lot of substitution during first down situations.
  19. The scripted North Texas seemed out of place to me because everything else on the uniform is in block letters and numbers. Also, the current trend is to go with UNT so I'd be inclined to go with UNT on the helmet with the diving eagle rather than the feathers that we now have.
  20. I wish that there was a way to sell season tickets at half price to first time buyers for this coming season only. Target Denton city residents but make it also available to county residents as well. I hope that they will really try to sell the students on attending with signs across campus before each home game. I'd like to see the average attendance jump to near 30,000 with at least one sellout.
  21. If it's just one...Army. It's in the #1 media market (New York) plus it has a national following. Army was in the AAC earlier but Navy wasn't. Put them in the same conference with the same deal that Navy gets...football only. Then you could choose a basketball school that has all of the Olympic sports but no football (like Wichita State). When the next contract would come up I believe that ESPN would up the ante considerably.
  22. Who is the best ball handler and playmaker? We are loaded with 2s and 3s. Four of this year's players shot 40-47% threes last year. Scott shot the 40% and will likely be the 4 this year. Buggs shot the 47% (I believe that he was 11th in the nation) and a strong candidate for the three. Noland and Edwards were both in the mid-forties and could be the 1 and/or 2.
  23. Time will tell if this defense works. It looks really good for defending passes and it might hold runners to a few yards; I haven't seen that in action. I would think that you would have to have good speed to make it work. If Iowa State is successful with it then we should give it a try. Coach Morris seems to think that it will work and that's good enough for me. I don't worry that Caponi won't do a good job of running it.
