    We might of done this in previous years but my memory escapes me but I was surfing around Twitter wasting my day away while I should be working but found this from WKU Football. They have a "What to Wear" to each game and I thought that was pretty cool. I know we want to be trailblazers in every category but I really Liked this! 

    Like when we wear our all Black uniforms, Lets "Black Out" the Stadium and so on and so forth 

     

    TCU has done this for the last couple of seasons.  It gives the stadium a pretty cool vibe when most people comply with it.

    "Facebook wants you to watch more video on its site – including those you can’t see elsewhere. To that end, the social network earlier this month launched a dedicated section for original video, called Watch. Now that’s being expanded with the addition of live-streamed college football games, broadcast in partnership with sports network Stadium.

    The deal will bring 15 live college football games to Facebook, including nine Conference USA games and six Mountain West games.

    These games will be exclusively broadcast on Facebook, the company says, and will be available on the Stadium: Live College Football Show Page to users worldwide, as well as on Watch for U.S. users.

    Unlike games aired on traditional television, the games broadcast on Facebook will take advantage of the digital platform to introduce a number of interactive elements as part of the viewing experience. For example, they will include a live, curated chat from football personalities alongside the on-air presentation. Plus, a social team and other correspondents will work to engage the at-home audience in conversation."

    UNT vs LA Tech on November 4th will be 1 of the 9 CUSA games shown on the platform.

  4. Don't get me wrong, I wish Connor nothing but the best!  The main difference is that Patterson and Snyder bring those guys in to play other positions from the get go.  Typically when a player moves to his 3rd position in college that shows he may be athletic, but doesn't have enough skill at a specific position to stick.  See Longhorn great Drew Kelson if you need a prime example of this.  All that being said, I hope Connor succeeds at the new position.  I'm just more afraid of what the move indicates for our linebacking core.

    Why is everyone obsessed with the green Texas flag? Wouldn't the general public think it's just bad holdover from St.Patrick's Day? 

    This is the experience I've had with non-North Texas people.  When I moved into my current house, one of the first things I did was put the battle flag up.  Several neighbors came by to introduce themselves, and all except one said something along the lines of "Is that flag for St Patrick's Day?"  The only neighbor who knew what is was happened to be a La Tech alum who said he'd seen it up at Apogee before.  

    I think flying the flag outside of stadium would be a great thing to help the general public realize that the flag is a North Texas symbol.

    DENTON – The University of North Texas will be adding a new 120-foot tall flag pole located in between the black lot entrance and Apogee Stadium marquee along Interstate 35. Mean Green Athletics is launching VoteMeanGreen.com for fans to vote on the flag that will fly from the pole, coinciding with Flag Day, President Neal Smatresk and Vice President and director of athletics Wren Baker announced Wednesday.

    “We are very excited about this flag, which will be a source of pride for all UNT fans and graduates as well as a tremendous branding and awareness opportunity for our campus,” Baker said. “We thought it would be fun to let fans vote for their favorite design and I look forward to seeing the design our fans select.”

    Fans can rank their favorite flag designs from 1-4 and can only submit the form once. The voting period will be for one week, beginning Wednesday, June 14, and concluding Wednesday, June 21. The winning design will be announced on Twitter (@MeanGreenSports) Friday, June 23.

    Bo Davis. Amazing recruiter.   He was the former Alabama Defensive Line Coach.  I think UTSA may have the best staff in all of C-USA if you consider quality experience and recruiting skins on the wall.  

     

    Not a fan of him from his days at Texas.

    Also, his "amazing" recruiting ability may have something to do with the fact that he was violating NCAA rules...

    I would be curious to know if the Sawyer signing by TCU was to keep one of their deep pocketed donors happy.  Sawyer is an All Saint's grad, expensive school, and was a three star player, but he just didn't seem to fit the TCU offense with his size.  Pure speculation, because I have never seen the young man play, but I would assume he would fit better in a pro-style offense.

    I can promise you that recruiting him wasn't to keep boosters happy.  He was offered by the likes of Alabama, Arizona State, Oklahoma St, and a handful of other Power 5 schools. To the size point, the other quarterback they brought in that same class is the same size he is.  And at that time Casey Pachall was their starting quarterback, who had almost identical measurables to Foster.  For whatever reason the game just hasn't been able to click for him so far at this level.  Scheme and/or lack of development are probably most likely to blame.  I think he'd be worth taking a chance on if he's interested in coming here.  I wonder if Harrell and Cumbie have been in contact about him.

  10. Being a Heights grad, I really wanted us to land Tariq.  He's a good kid with great measurables.  He's a lot like Rutherford in that the sky is the limit with the frame he has, it just comes down to if he can sure up some things at the next level.  He sometimes had a hard time creating separation against the better competition, but I think that is something that can be fixed with good coaching at the next level.  His motor has been questioned before, but every time I've seen him play it looks like he's going all out.  I've heard that he was extremely excited after his visit to San Antonio, but I don't know if it had more to do with the coaches, the school, or the city.

    I can't attend this game. Not with me being in SD now with a 1 year old.

     

    That being said is there anything set up so I can buy tickets and donate them to the alumni association or something?

    Email Wren Baker or Ryan Peck and they will help you out.  I donated a set of season tickets for basketball this season and they were extremely helpful throughout the process.

    Did you go to the last HOD game and participate in any of the pre game events?  Everyone I know who did had a blast. 

    I did go to the HOD bowl and had a good time at the game itself.  We were out there tailgating starting at about 7 am.  As soon as our crew started for the gates, the neighborhood's go getters started coming out and taking our stuff.  This time I'm only bringing a cooler and some fold out chairs, if that!  

    I'm extremely happy we're in a bowl game, but I don't expect a similar crowd to what we had in 2013.  I say in the ballpark of 22,000-25,000 for attendance if the weather is nice.  

  13. I'm glad we have a beatable opponent, but I was really hoping for the Armed Forces Bowl.  It's a way better stadium and atmosphere than Fair Park.  You don't have to worry about people stealing your tailgate stuff when you leave to go into the game.  Also, by this time next year we will have played Army 3 times in the past 13 months...

    Yes they do recruit.  DT 90's school lost a D1 recruit to a Fort Worth private school for his senior year. Just so happens his dad ( also a football coach) got a job there for that season.  FYI.... IMG in Florida cost $80K a year to attend.  They don't provide scholarships but provide financial aid to attend just like a DII and DIII college.

    All Saints?
