[A Humble Suggestion -- UNT Chat Naming]

What just happened?

 

[Ladies Sign a 4 star Tommisha Lampkin]

Wow!  That's big time!  A 4 Star in basketball should make an ENORMOUS difference since there's not many on the court. 

[Reeder and Reffett Fired]

Any chance Harrell comes back if he's gone from USC?

[Looking ahead to 2020]

How many of those transfers does SMU graduate?

Remember when we used to pass the ball really well?

[***OFFICIAL UNT VS. LA. TECH GAME THREAD***]

It’s like they forgot we were good at running quicks and slants.  WTF have they done to this offense?

[LaTech Prediction 11/9...and go!]

I just don’t trust the defense to hold LT below 40.  
LT 42  UNT 30

[UNT Is One of 15 Schools That Gives Its Football Coach Private Jet Access]

Love it!  I think it proves without a doubt that our administration is FINALLY committed to raising the standards of our athletic program and pursuing a higher tier of play/competition than we’ve had in 50 years.  SL may or may not be the guy that pushes us into Top 25 conversations ultimately, but there will be a line of upper tier candidates looking at that job if he’s not. 
Go Mean Green!

[Wasp Question]

We had them in the upper deck of student side.

[Albino Squirrel Mascot?]

Albino Squirrel shows up and UNT wins a close one against MTSU.  Maybe there is something to it being lucky.

When the Texas Rangers run out the Dot races and the folks come out as Red, Blue, and Green it doesn’t mean the Rangers are going to embrace the Dots as mascots.  They serve their purpose, but we see them at EVERY Rangers game.  
As long as the University isn’t referring to itself as the Albino Squirrels, I don’t have an issue with it.  
We’re still the Mean Green and the Eagles.  
 

Having the Talons fire a cannon at the game doesn’t make Boomer any part of our mascot.

Yes it’s stupid.  Yes it’s funny.  Kids will still want to get their picture taken with Scrappy.

And apparently it really is lucky!

Man, I recall (and not too long ago) when folks were saying..."well it is our facilities that are holding us back", "recruits notice that stuff", "we will never get a great recruiting class until we upgrade our facilities, "it isn't the coach, it is the facilities", "the star recruits will not come to UNT because our facilities suck"...and on and on.  Well...…………………………..

This is how the arms race goes.  New conference and new facilities (and new coaches) have improved recruiting by leaps and bounds the last few years.  Now our expectations have raised to where we should be winning recruiting battles and winning games against higher teared schools.  Being in a higher level conference would help.  

We are better off than where we were.  It’s. It even close.  But now that’s not enough.

Go Mean Green!  Ever higher!

[Diagnosing the bad taste that won't go away after the Houston loss]

Conferences matter to recruits.  Perception is reality.  The worst P5 school will still have better recruiting options than the best CUSA school.  This is a MUCH better conference than the SunBelt, and gives us better recruiting interest, but it needs to be a stepping stone, and I think Wren realizes that.  

[DRC: Jyaire Shorter's time has arrived at UNT]

Kade Renfro May be a 4* before he arrives on campus.  Could step in as a Freshman.

[Official Houston Game Score Prediction Thread]

Houston sucks.  Even if they win, they still suck.

UNT 38

Houston 21

[The Battle for Ray]

Too soon.

[If Mason Fine plays 1 snap in the 4th quarter...]

I stand corrected!!

[If Mason Fine plays 1 snap in the 4th quarter...]

Wouldn’t be surprised.  Gotta push those stats!!

[DRC: Prediction -- Trip to Cal won't go well for UNT]

Mean Green win 28-24. 

 

[Everyone is blaming the secondary]

The penalties killed us.  Some of that is youthful inexperience and some of that is just poor discipline.  You can't give up 90 yards in penalties.

[#8 Rico Bussey]

I put this on the OC as well.  TE's catching the ball was essentially nonexistent, and no adjustments were made to get Fine moving on designed rollouts and quick slants. 

[Wrestling]

My 12 year old daughter heard that on Saturday night and she said we definitely had to come back for that.  Didn't remind her that we have season tickets so we'd be coming anyway.  I was amused that she was that interested.

[Official SMU Game Score Prediction Thread]

Going with UNT 38 - SMU 21. 

[Student section vs. ACU]

Biggest difference was getting rid of the reserved seating right behind the visiting bench.  When the students can fill that in and be rowdy it keeps the whole section engaged.  I know it was CuSA rule but I’m glad it’s gone.

[Green Brigade]

I didn’t hear Fly Like An Eagle 74 times last night.

[Wren Baker Interview: How North Texas is Bursting on to the National Scene]

Great interview!
