Honest question because I truly don't know. Does an indoor practice facility require a full 100 X 53 yard field?
No. I've seen some that are 60 x 53 (One full end zone, hence the extra 10 yards) and TCU's is 100 x 53, but it's an 80 yard field with two full end zones.

I thought so too... Pittsburgh, maybe?
Yeah, Pittsburgh signed him RIGHT after they got eliminated from the playoffs. I specifically remember that.

To be honest, unless a concrete plan is in place to have an on campus stadium I don't want them back. Otherwise, they will continue to be busch league.

Don't blame him one bit, the fact that he sat behind Greer and Mcnulty is laughable. Sure he turned it over, sure he probably didn't bust it every day, but does that really mean he was note he most talented player on the roster at his position? That falls on the coach to teach/coach/train him how to work hard and be a leader. I am happy for DAJON to get a chance at a fair shot, bc he sure as heck wasnt going to get one here. This really irritates me, and don't feed me some bs about him not protecting the ball, don't put him in terrible situations, throwing on 2nd or 3rd and a mile inside your own 10 on some PA bootleg and expect something good to happen, I bet if mcnulty was QB we would have run an inside run and punted it. I bet Morris and Co, at SMU would have killed to get DAJON. GUUUUUUUHHHHH
Just to play the devil's advocate here -- You say "That falls on the coach to teach/coach/train him how to work hard and be a leader."
Ok, I'll give you that. But at what point do you give up trying if he refuses to take on that role?
Bear in mind, I'm not close to the team, just a casual acquaintance to one of the athletes and this is not coming from him.
I'm honestly asking, because there seems to be a major dichotomy forming here -- either he was unfairly booted or he had this serious character/work ethic flaw and it's all on him. Perhaps the truth is a little more in between both extremes and all parties are to blame.
Personally, I'd like to hear more of the story before I start pointing blame anywhere.

Community college is a waste. I did a summer and one fall class at CCCC-Frisco and CCCC-McKinney, respectively. They were the easiest classes I've taken for anything, ever. I learned absolutely nothing and they did nothing to prepare me for UNT let alone the real world. Oh, and that was five A's.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess because I took care of my Associate's Degree and almost all of my basic courses at TCC and it prepared me just fine. Granted, I'm also about 14 years older than a majority of my fellow "Class of 2015-ers," but still. TCC did just what was needed in order to ease me back into a collegiate setting and prepare for University course loads. And with a wife and two kids, I'm not really in a position to amass a large heap of debt.

The "look" is going to take me some getting used to. The Ticket Ticker and "Stick it up your tailpipe" audio bed analogy works perfectly.
But, I REALLY like the functionality of this. It's pretty cool.

pretty much.

If you can make the game, we will have a special place to welcome you at our tailgate. Looking forward to it.
Is this an open invitation to any board member?

oh...and the CFP at 4 teams was a huge success for college football. It could not have worked out much better with the #1 & #2 seeds losing and #4 seed winning with their 3rd string quarterback.
really not sure...even if the CFP expands to 6-8 teams...that a G5 gets in....it's big business & about money. (maybe BYU or Boise)
same goes for some P5's...
i.e. "if Mississippi State & Ole Miss finished the year ranked #1 & #2"...both in SEC & in the same small state...doubt the CFP committee would let both in."
6 could be kinda cool with a bye for #1 & #2 seeds..and a chance at a G5 moonshot.
Personally...I am happy with 4...if the big boys want in...stop whining & start wining
Wine?
I'm more of a beer man.

"If we want an inclusive and diverse campus we need to have inclusive and diverse events."
So, this student wants inclusiveness and diversity . . . if the host/speaker believes/thinks exactly the way he does . . .
Am I following this correctly?

I can't believe they are bringing him back...Angels better be paying all of his salary
Word on the street is, they're paying all but about $15 million, leaving the Rangers to pay just $5 million/season for the remainder of the deal, plus Texas gives up nothing. This is nothing more than LAA just trying to cut their losses and wash their hands of him.
Pretty low risk right now for the Rangers. I hope it works out. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Like I said in the other thread, I'm more of a video/film guy but wanted to try my hand at taking some stills with my new toy. It took a while to post them because I cleaned them up a bit, but let me know what you guys think!
I also give permission for anyone to use them if you want under Creative Commons Licensing.

I grabbed a few photos with my new camera Saturday from the game. I'll gladly post a few if some of you are interested.
I'm more of a video guy, but lighting, shading and focal points all work the same, so this is my first shot at action stills. I'd love to share what I've done with you guys.

I see the concern, but given the historic injury rate from last season and the first wave of injuries we have already seen, I do kind of understand his view on player durability.
Completely agree. And not only that, but if you're going to have a young guy like DeShields on the roster, you've got to give him at bats. Sometimes that's at the expense of the hot bat in the lineup. I'd rather have that hot bat STILL in the lineup in September than having him out for the season by June. I don't know if anyone aside from forevereagle has noticed or not, but that's been kind of the pattern with most of our good players lately.

I had the privilege of calling p-b-p for that first game of the series this weekend for the meangreensports.com feed.
I apologize to anyone who had to listen.

Has Bass ever done play by play before? I don't want a Rattigan episode.
Bass does high school play-by-play. I can say this with certainty because I've worked in the past with the same company he has.
While I'd love to get the gig, myself (Although I'll still be a UNT student this coming football season) . . . Sea-Bass gets my vote.

Well-earned. Jub has been a great ambassador to the University.

Potential Games
in Mean Green Football
Posted
Boise, Texas Tech, Kansas, Colorado, Colorado St., North Carolina, Syracuse (there are a lot of transplanted New Yorkers here, would draw a good crowd), Buffalo (see also Syracuse), Pittsburgh, Virginia, Kentucky, Arizona, Arizona St., UCLA, Cal, Utah, I could keep going.
Also pretty much any team that the others before me have listed. If the average student walking the UNT campus has heard of them, I want them to come here and play.
