Perfect football weather. 

For me "perfect football wewther" Is 75 degrees for a 2:00 PM kickoff on a sunny Saturday afternoon.  This will not be anywhere close to that.

[ODU Uniforms...]

Those are really ugly.

[Seth Littrell Rumors Mega Thread]

He can do better than the Kansas job.

[New Buc-ee’s opens in Denton along Interstate-35]

The Bucees on I-35W...near Texas Motor Speedway ... opened just before the Indycar races a few years ago and were amazed at the number of customers that showed up.  They were told to get ready beccause the NASCAR group will be a lot bigger.....and thirstier.  I think they set a new world record for the sale of beer and ice during NASCAR week.

It was a pretty good week to be a Mean Green fan because...….   The Longhorns lost.....The Aggies lost.....SMU lost.....TCU lost (to Kansas).....Baylor lost.....Tx Tech lost..... and North Texas WON.    That feels pretty darned good. 

 

[UTSA gladly replaces North Texas on Army’s schedule]

I am sorry to see them get this game.  It is a great game and they do not deserve to get it.

[Is 8 Wins/Year Littrell's Ceiling Here?]

A few of  us old farts find it really funny that we are grumbling about a coach who might win only eight games per year.  

[Post USM Seth Littrell Radio Show]

Does anyone else remember the "grenade" celebration that our kids did after a touchdown during one of the Dickey years ?  It was really funny but drew a 15 yard penalty.....as it should have !

[Start Times]

I love the afternoon games in October and November.  It is just too darned hot in September for them to work.

[More blue lot woes]

The scanners were not working right at the stadium entrances, either. After about three people tried, finally one worked okay.  This was at about 11:45.

[Weather & Attendance for Southern Miss Game]

• We have sat through a lot of bad weather games - including the Florida State "snow game" - to watch North Texas football but we were a LOT younger in those days.    If we did not have Club level seats we would not be coming to Denton today so I won't be critical of anyone who stays home to watch it on ESPN3.   If you do choose to attend be extra loud because we will have to make up for those who choose to stay dry.

[Uniforms 10/13]

I really do not l>ke these jerseys and was hoping we would not wear them this year.

[Props to Jim Plummer/PlummMeanGreen]

Jim is a pretty good guy ......most of the time.

[Great Star Telegram Story]

Todays print edition of the FWST has a very large piccture and great article  on Joe Greene by Mac Engel.  It is also in their on line edition.  You have to look under the authors name in the on line edition but it is worth the hunt.

[Celine makes the punt return even better!]

I think Eastbound And Down from Smokey And The Bandit would be a good choice, too.

[Staying in the game]

We should have assigned a manager t[o hide Mason Fines helment at halftime so that he could not play in the second half.  If he goes down due to an injury our season changes........a lot

[“Everything that could go wrong went wrong”]

I agree with UNTexas.   TCU game will be Name The Score.    It could not happen to more deserving folks.

[Punt Returner]

A really good football coach once told me that we dont need a punt returner.....we need a punt catcher.  His point was that we needed to catch the ball so that it does not bounce and bounce and bounce.  We need to work on that this week.   A second thing that he said was to stand no farther back than the ten yard line and do not back up.  If the punt goes over your head it will almost always go into the end zone.  We need to work on that, too.

[Rasslin' Report ?]

DId anyone stay for the wrestling event after the game last night ?  If so, how did it go ?  We did not stay but heard some cheers go up as we were leaving the stadium so it sounded like some people did stay.    We talked to an athletic department official as we were leaving.   He said that they had a LOT of interest in their ticket office from people calling in wanting to know how much it cost to get in for the wrestling and what time it started.    To me, that is just weird but I guess a lot of people would see my long time interest in North Texas athletics as weird, too.      I guess it is just a matter of what floats your boat.  

[Story on cost of attendance stipend]

I hope every one who reads this board will read this article.    After reading it I was very grateful for what my family has and I think you will feel the same way. 

[What ever happened to.... Spencer Leftwich?]

He was at UTEP.  Iguess the new coach did not retain him.  That is their loss.  I always thought he was a  good coach and a good person.

[C-USA West Media Day is at 2pm on ESPN3]

Channel 11 had a short story on their six o'clock news.   They interviewed coach and three players.

[Know Your Program]

I agree with Rick.  Our daughter is friends with Byron Gross and he looks like he could run a few wind sprints and be ready to play again.   He is a good man who still represents North Texas really well wherever he goes. 

[DRC: Examining UNT's 2018 schedule]

I hate Thursday night games.   Families with school aged kids often won't be able to attend.   Our daughter and grandson won't be coming.   Fans who live away from the DFW area have a hard time getting there for a weekday game with work the next day.    I hope we are getting a BUNCH of money to move this game.     What I REALLY hope is that this turns out to be one of those things that you hear about that never happens.   That would suit me just fine. 

[2018 North Texas Athletics Hall of Fame Voting begins April 1]

Our daughter works with Casey Fitzgerald at Harmon High School (feeder for Lewisville High) and says he is a great guy in addition to being an outstanding teacher/coach.
