[Blog Wrapup (Ford Done)]

You guys burried the lead.

[Stand Out Players]

I noticed two other guys making plays (and sure tackles) in the second half : #35 Zach Orr and #22 Ryan Downing

I really think that Orr is going to be a big time player before he's done at NT.

I couldn't believe I was seeing Orr out there contributing against Clemson. I am really looking forward to this guy's career at UNT.

[Ford Out For The Season]

This is a problem. I think Ford was going to be a key defensive guy. He'll get a Medical Redshirt though right?

[I Gotta Say It Was Pretty Cool]

It looked like they used one of King's overhead pictures during this segment. Did anyone else see that?

[Is Clemson Game A Must Win?]

No way this is a must win. For me, criteria for a must win includes the game being easily within reach of a win.

Would it help the program if we win this game? ABSOLUTELY!

Would it kill the program if we lose this game? No.

[It's Win Or Else For Unt's Todd Dodge]

Very well-written article. I must say, though, that TD either has excellent intestinal fortitude or huge balls of steel to not be troubled at all by this season. Or, rather, the ramifications of not producing a winning season!

It has to be eating him up inside.

Todd Dodge is a legitimate football coach. He knows how to put up a facade and he's fluent in 'coach speak'.

It's hard not to like Todd Dodge, the man. Many on here with intense disdain for his coaching still respect the man (although some just don't like the guy all-around). I think most of us hope he succeeds, because that would mean success for our team and our school.

I think we can all look back and see that he was in over his head (especially defensively) at the FBS level as a HC. He's since handed over the keys to his machine to a D-coordinator and an O-coordinator, in whom many of us here have the utmost trust. Hopefully, he has learned the ropes well enough now to start influencing games positively with his coaching abilities.

We'll see, but I'm pulling for Dodge.

[This Will Get You Going !]

Sorry you guys just missed seeing this bad mofo. The screen pass at the 1:28 mark is sick, and the the one at 3:10 is even sicker.

We're sorry too. He might have won you the game. Instead, the RB you'll be drooling over will be wearing #5 for the Mean Green.

[Wind Turbines At New Stadium]

Any chance that if we installed one of these by the Union/Matthews/Wooten/BSM area that it would decapitate the albino squirrel? If so, I'm all for this.

[This Will Get You Going !]

How are Clemson fans different from North Texas fans? Clemson fans are more stupid!

BooYah! Post of the year!

You got that right GP1. Clemson fans really ARE stupid!

[Texas State Bobcat Stadium Expanding To 30K]

Call it motivation.

Are you suggesting that we should be motivated by this? Or TXSt is motivated by ours? The end results will speak for themselves.

[Who We Are.......]

Wow Evan, you're a world wide webz genius! Those are cool stats.

[Texas State Bobcat Stadium Expanding To 30K]

Hell we can save you 32 million, how about yall come get a semi and take our old end zone stands from fouts after this season.

Yeah, they're real nice! You guys would love them.

[Treed Area Near New Stadium]

class and tailgating certainly don't mix to me! while walking through the orange lot, i never think of class. plenty of places in the blue lot don't scream class either...beerman anyone??? why the focus on being classy??? IT'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL TAILGATING NOT THE OPERA!!!!!

I think you've nailed it! "Beerman's Speaker Space"

[Treed Area Near New Stadium]

I think "the Green" has class. None of the other ones have any class. They're a bunch of low-brow names of greenspaces that you would find next to homeless shelters or strip clubs. Especially "the Aerie".

"Green Acres" are you kidding? Where's the CLASS in that?!?

[Dickey Vs. Dodge]

Why do we constantly do this? Darrell Dickey was a good coach for his time here. Honest Mean Green fans will admit that he built up a program and took it places it hadn't been. He had health problems his last to seasons and, unfortunately, clashed with his boss and a fan base his success had spoiled.

Todd Dodge was hired to pick of the pieces and rebuild. In three seasons, he hasn't done it. In year four, finally with the help of a full compliment of experience college coaches, I think he will succeed and take to the same heights Darrell Dickey once did.

Also, for a coach denigrated here often for running too much, it's worth noting that Johnny Quinn, who played for Darrell Dickey all four seasons, is still the All-Time Sun Belt leader in receiving yards: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/conferences/sun-belt/leaders/rec-yds-player-career.html

Just quit bickering about the two men. Be proud of the championships we won with Dickey and look forward to the ones we'll win with Dodge beginning this year. I've never seen a fanbase so opposed to acknowledging past successes as this one. So stupid.

Bravo sir.

[Treed Area Near New Stadium]

There used to be a treed area behind the main auditorium/english building that my peers (of the 70's) called "people's park". Here it is on the cover of the 72 Yucca.

http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth61040/m1/1/

Hmm...sounds a little too Communist for a football tailgating area.

[Big Weekend?]

JJ has a home visit w/ Trey next month

You talking about Trey Davis? We already have Trey Norris in the bag. Too many Trey's... Which if we get both Trey's, then we should see plenty of treys.

[Sewell Targets Expansion]

So what are the chances UNT can get in on this superconference?

[What I Don't Want To See Happen On Saturday]

I don't want to see Parker shred the secondary. I understand he'll get his, but I hope he doesn't just decimate us.

I don't want to see the offense score only single digits.

I don't want to see more than 1 turnover on offense (I really don't want to see any, but against this team, 1 is excusable).

I don't want to see kicking woes.

I don't want to see more than 1 long kick/punt return due to poor ST coverage (again, I don't want to see any, but 1 is excusable). No scores for Clemson's kick/punt return teams!

I don't want to see any injuries.

I don't want to hear ESPNU announcers call us "North Texas State", or any other misnomer.

Lastly, and most importantly, whatever the score, I don't want to see the Mean Green playing below 100% effort at any point in the game.

If we don't see any of these things, we'll keep this game close, if not have a chance to win.

[New Mean Green Wallpapers]

Awesome Work Smitty! The SOW looks great on my work laptop! It gets me through the day.

[Espn Bottom 10]

I don't know what I hate more- Lady Gaga or the fact that we are in the bottom 10.

Lady Gaga.

I don't think I can take either for very much longer.

Is this a cry for help?

[Clemson - Unt Prediction Thread]

At least over here you do...what's you name on the Clemson board? Let me guess...4forcu? That guy predicted 42-10 Clemson.

Jerk.

NT03 (4forcu),

You obviously have not been following the ofseason closely. Have you heard about our kicking?

[Ot : Who Does Your Hs Alma Mater Play This Week]

Richardson Pearce Mustangs @ Lake Dallas Falcons

Kind of torn here because I went to Pearce, but have lived in the LDISD for 4 years now and have adopted them. I just want to see some football! Go Mustangs! Go Falcons!

Meltdown by LD of a 23-14 lead with just over 4 min left leads to a Pearce time-expiring field goal for a 24-23 win.

[First Offensive Play Against Clemson]

Did he get hold of one of those new Coach Chico Halloween costumes?

No, TheFakeLonnieFinch is not done with the prototype yet.

[2010 Mean Green Player Adoption Thread]

OK. I didn't get to participate in this thread last year, so I left plenty of time for anyone to pick up their guys from last year... No one took the all-conference LB, #42 Craig Robertson, so I'll adopt him!

Earn your NFL ticket this year Craig! We're pulling for you!
