I feel your absolute pain about missing the Mean Green football "once in a lifetime" kickoff home opener in a brand spanking new stadium with the electric feel of rejuvenating aura but my situation is a different scenario. Disappointing myself to the obligation indeed...

I see more than 3 wins easily. I think the offense will be more in tune this year from the start compared to last year. The quarterback position MAY be questionable but having a proven running back in Dunbar and bringing balance back to the offense with the run game will definitely take the pressure off Thompson (if we can keep it 3rd and short). The defense is the focal point that needs major improvements and it does start with the tackling. Giving up the big play runs early with missed tackles (Clemson game 1st series last year) is something coach McCartney is trying to help minimize. He has brought the right mindset with physicality, which is where it starts, that the players have already bought into. Knocking out the Sunbelt champs FIU will set the tone in the Sunbelt Conference right from the start. I'm projecting to shoot for a .500+ win season this year and I think we'll turn a lot of heads in the conference if we bring that physical play first game. Bottom line, I'm ready for some Mean Green football!!!

I'm attending the FIU in Miami, FL. I wanted to go to the Alabama game as well but I will be in Honolulu, HI doing my internship for graduate school. I am looking forward to the new football brand of Coach McCartney. I listened/watched his press conference online. I enjoyed his optimism, energy, and honesty. He realistically knows where the program is at and I was overwhelmed with his philosophy/vision on where he wants to take it. I am confident that he will change the culture of Mean Green football! As an alumni fan who has been with the Mean Green through the good and the bad, this is the most that I have been excited for the Mean Green nation in a long time!!! See y'all in Miami to whoever is attending!

Big step for UNT!!! I just watched the press conference and I am very impressed with the direction that our school is embarking on. I too will be reading more about Apogee in the next couple of days. From an alumni in Jacksonville, Florida... THANK YOU APOGEE!!!!!

I'm very impressed with the stadium so far. Too bad I won't be able to help break the new stadium in this season...

I should be at the FIU game in Miami to kick the season off. Go Mean Green!
