    Well recruits care about them.  

    I've had coaches tell me the most common first questions out of recruits mouth is "what uniform combos do you have?"

     

    Personally I am a traditionalist. I hate the DH and think short pants and stirrups socks should be mandated, but if it helps us recruit let us roll out what the recruits want.  

    so true.

    i read recently that a poll of x number of recruits voted Alabama uniforms as one of the worst. However, in their case, it doesnt really affect recruiting since they continue to rake in top classes with future NFL players. 

    I hope Saban keeps trotting out the Bear Bryant era uni's. So classic

  3. Question about UAB

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    UAB football will return next season - 2017. They have already completed their non-conference schedule.

    UAB will open the 2017 season at home on Sept. 2 against the Alabama A&M Bulldogs of the FCS. On September 9, the UAB Blazers will hit the road to take on the Ball State Cardinals. UAB returns home on September 16 to host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers; CCU will be playing the 2017 season as a new member of the Sun Belt Conference. UAB’s final non-conference game of the 2017 season is a trip to face the Florida Gators on Nov. 18.

    What kind of features would you like to see at the new stadium?

    I know several college coaches and they are absolutely giddy when they get one.  I have talked to one who said he would not take a college job at a place that did not have one.  And I have talked to several that it is their main goal for field upgrade.  It is a huge recruiting bonus. 

    Also, there is just not the man-power on a college staff to keep up with a grass field-- it is super time consuming caring properly for a field and U.N.T. certainly would not have the budget of Texas A and M. 

    Serious question: You know a coach who, if offered, would turn down the Texas A&M job or Florida job (among others) because they don't have turf fields? I realize you specifically mention A&M later so I left that part in the quote. I pick those two schools because they take pride in their ag programs and grounds crews. I think they'll be two of the very last places to go to turf, if ever.

    I'm just amazed that there's a coach out there who would refuse a Florida, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, LSU, etc because they play on grass...

     

    oldguystudent - 3,000 seems about right. I might even recommend 2,500 assignable seats with another 1,000+ SRO berms. Based on attendance of other Mean Green sports versus national averages, I'd be afraid 3k would feel too cavernous at times. If memory serves me correctly, there only about 10-15 schools that regularly average 3k+ and half of those are probably SEC teams. The way i'd try to get around the TCU berm issue is set the berms in the outfield and keep it gated and locked for games that don't require the overflow capacity.  

    The seating issue is difficult one because you want to have a big enough capacity to host regionals, super regionals, etc but you also don't want to play in front of hundreds of empty seats on a regular basis. I think of Apogee...if we were re-doing it, I would probably eliminate the wing to start off and have capacity around 25k. For the Super Pit, I would cut it in half

  7. The Big 12 May Be Close To Naming Two New Members

    Texas has its own agenda regarding the admission of Houston to the Big 12, and it directly relates to the establishment of a Houston campus. I have no idea why Tech jumped on the bandwagon, but no one else in Big 12 want another member from the Lone Star State. I believe 2 no votes kills the deal, and the silence has been deafening.Perhaps Texas and Tech want to be able to say to the political powers that be that they tried.

    Tech wants Houston politicians to back their vet school that recently got shot down.

    There is no way Texas extends the date on the grant of rights. Unless the Houston satellite campus trumps it in terms of long term value.  UT has hubs in all the major Texas cities and they apparently want to add Houston to the list.

    Agree with these. There is no way that Texas wants to extend their GOR under the current contract. Perhaps they might extend for substantially more money, but that's a pretty big risk on their part.

  8. MGB: It's time for the Get Your Rear on the Record contest

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    I think UTEP is going to be tougher than some on this board are giving them credit for. This is Coach Sean Kugler's 5th year, and he has recruited decently well for his systems, especially considering the location.

    The miners 2-deep offensive line has an average weight of almost 320 and most have pretty good footwork to go along with it. In addition, there are a couple of salty RBs in that backfield. The 2016 UTEP team is built like our 2013 squad but with better coaching and better depth. I would be surprised to see them miss a bowl this season.

    If we beat UTEP, I think we have a really good chance to go bowling. Games on our schedule that are more winnable than UTEP, not necessarily in order:

    Bethune-Cookman, UTSA, SMU, Army, Louisiana Tech, Rice.

     

    Since UTEP is on the road (our road woes) and Marshall is at Apogee (look up Marshall, and West Virginia for that matter, in Texas road games) - I actually see those two games about par with one another.

  11. RV

    Is he still living in Denton? Or has he already put his house up and moved back to Hattiesburg (or somewhere else)? 

    If I remember correctly, a poster on here is a neighbor...I would look up the house, but I actually have no idea where he lived

  14. Rebuilding trust within the North Texas fanbase

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    There also needs to be a focus on rebuilding trust within the North Texas former athletes.

    There are very few in that group that have anything nice to say about the hustler. 

    It's always amazed me that the 17 believe in a man that's never had a single offer from another D1 athletic program. Think about your own profession...if someone else isn't trying to hire you away, what does that say about your body of work?

  17. Sidway's transcribed interview of RV

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    15 hours ago, THOR said:

    So students on class can transcribe a lecture, but an accomplished media guy cant???hmmm...hate to do it...but 90 has a point...

    I've also gotta go with 90 on this. Sidway did say he would be posting the transcript, and he hasn't. Many of you arguing with 90 have valid points regarding the delay, but enough time has passed that Mr. Sidway should at least be able to take the 45 seconds needed to respond to an inquiry regarding it's release. For comparison, this post has taken me about 25 seconds so far.

    Possible responses that wouldn't take him very long:

    1) I decided not to release it

    2) I still plan to release it but I've been backlogged...should see it by early February

    3) I'm authoring a book to be released on X date; advanced copies selling for $29.99

    4) I "lost" the recording

    If option 4, let the conspiracy theories fly. 

    My point is, Sidway should respond to a request for information regarding a previous claim that he himself made. There's nothing wrong with expecting someone to follow through on their word.

  20. MGB: Villarreal, school officials say no decision made

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    If Meacham gets a huge raise from TCU, his family doesn't have to move, he keeps his same job, with the perks of recruiting to a rising P5 program, it might not be that RV couldn't sell him on this. It could be that TCU just made the situation much more comfortable for him, in a situation he has obviously thrived. The next three years at TCU should be a lot easier to coach in than it will be here in Denton digging out of this avalanche.

    I doubt his family HAS to move if his office location moves from Fort Worth to Denton. However, I agree with the rest of this post.

  21. 5-7 Bowl Teams

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    48 bowls ?  That means 92 teams and their fans get to go someplace out of the ordinary to play a post season game.  92 teams.  And North Texas couldn't qualify even with that many bowls. 

     

    I attended the first New Orleans Bowl when NT had a 5-7 season record.  Many thought a team with a losing record shouldn't go bowling.  Maybe so.  but my wife and I had a great time.  That and the 3 other New Orleans Bowls are some of our favorite NT memories. 

     

    Maybe when the NCAA expands to 60 bowls we can go somewhere again.

     

    GO MEAQN GREEN

     48 x 2 = 96

     

    This year it's only 40 bowl games, so 80 teams. Kram is right...75 bowl eligible teams with 3 more possibilities (Kansas State, Georgia State, South Alabama). Kansas State is in either way since they're #2 on the APR list. It's super doubtful that South Alabama beats Appy State, and I only give Georgia State slightly better odds against GA Southern...so it looks like at least four 5-7 teams will be bowling. The NCAA Bowl Oversight Committee, led by Bowlsby, have stated that they will most likely place a freeze on any new bowl games and in future years may have bowl games go dark if there are not enough bowl eligible teams vs. having sub-.500 teams fill those vacancies.

  22. Bottom 10/25 update

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    This is hopefully the last time we're in these rankings. Looking forward to new beginnings...

     

    CBS Bottom 25:

    3. North Texas: 1-10 (3)

    NTEXAS.pngBest Win: 30-23 vs. UTSA | Worst Loss: 66-7 vs. Portland State

    Average Score: 15.0-43.2 | This Week: vs. UTEP

    I'll just say this: North Texas is close enough to Kansas and UCF that if both of them were to win this week, and North Texas lose, there's a very good chance the Mean Green could reclaim the top spot.

    ESPN Bottom 10:

    7. North Texas Forty (1-10)

    249.png?w=110&h=110&transparent=true

    The SMU Musdangs won over Tulane, their second victory of the season. Here at Bottom 10 headquarters, located in the same portable storage unit where Rece Davis stores his puns, we were panicked that the state of Texas might not be represented for the first time in forever. Then the Mean Green was rolled by the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee in the Primary Colors Classic. Then the Bottom 10 staff got mad at me because I actually wrote "first time in forever" and we all got the "Frozen" soundtrack stuck in our heads.
