Amon carter was a great stadium with great lines....fouts is and has always been a dump with poor lines...no comparison.
We are going to have a very nice stadium....but TCU's will have much more of a "big time " feel and appeal. Damn those Frogs.
No way.
TCU will not have the "Tailfeather/Eagles Wings/Flying V" section, so therefore their stadium will be less "big time".
Also, their stadium is not in Denton on the campus of The University of North Texas, therefore it will always be inferior to ours.

Good point, I forgot that he put on 20 pounds. I am interested to see how the defense does this year.
"He speaks for all of us!"
-
Healed or not, he can't compete with Tune or Thompson on the deep ball.
But he is the ultimate wildcat QB.... fast as hell, with experience as a starter. That's why I never understood it when we ran wildcat plays last year.
Makes sense to get him some reps.
Thread hijack:
I keep reading that Dunbar will be under more pressure because Riley won't be present as a running threat. That's nuts. The deep ball will more than compensate. Not to mention Riley will still be on the field most of the time as a WR. Could be awesome.
I think the fear is that Dunbar got many many yards last year off of the zone read play. The zone read is definitely not going to work as well without Riley at QB and you would be nuts to disagree. However, I do agree with your assessment that the deep ball should provide a nice advantage to the disadvantage on the zone read. I think they cancel each other out. Expecting big things from Lance!

This is great news and should open the eyes of other stud players in the metroplex when one of the top players signs with us. I knew we were in on this kid, but was not expecting a verbal from him anytime soon.
Great Get! Go Coach Jones! Go Mean Green!

I kinda like, and I don't know the name of the song, but it says something like,"I had the time of my Life" Think it was from Dirting Dancing.
For us old timers there are a lot of memories at Fouts. Lots.
Nobody puts Fouts Field in a corner.

Let's all stop jumping around and giving each other high fives and wait and see what the coaches can do this season.
It's a no brainer that we have talented players on the roster, COACHING, Coaching decsions, gameplans, counter game plans, have been the reasons we have failed to suceed, not the players.
I have a lot of faith in Coach Canales, and believe he will be responsible a for a lot of positives on the Offensive side of the ball this year.
It's all of the above... not one or the other.
While coaching has definitely been an issue, Dodge et al. can't go out there and catch the game winning touchdown pass in the Ohio game (2X), or kick a field goal, or prevent interceptions at critical game junctures. Player improvement is IMPERATIVE! Coaching improvement is IMPERATIVE!

Secondaries1. Middle Tennessee
Alex Gendreau is a great kicker, but thats where the sure things end. The punting game will be fine, but the return game is among the worst in the country and needs a ton of work. The coverage teams also need an overhaul. On the plus side, the Blue Raiders might still have the best special teams in the conference.
Special Teams1. Louisiana
The kicking game is excellent and the coverage teams are fine. If the return game, specifically the kickoff return game, can be better, there’s a chance the Cajun special teams could be among the best in the Sun Belt. For a team with no defensive production, having a punter who can pin teams deep is a godsend. Spencer Ortega is one of the most valuable players on the team. Veteran kicker Tyler Albrecht is back after coming up with a decent 8-of-11 season including an impressive 4-of-6 shots from beyond 40 yards.

I believe THIS SONG perfectly sums up how I feel about the Mean Green.
-
I hope we can and look forward to being able to make adjustments during the game, it seems that in years past we did not do much adjusting on offense.
Not necessarily... but it will be nice for the offense to make adjustments without all of the players looking over to the sideline like they just saw the ghost of diet coke boy.

I've dispatched Vito to the task of procuring info on Redmond...apparently the guy is too busy with some thing called "football" to get back quickly.
Jerk.
That ball is not even round?!?!

Gaines has already leapfrogged Akpunku??
-
So, wait, UNT or Tulane?
That explains alot... Although would Tulane be good enough to finish 3rd in the SBC either?

I don't understand debating on whether or not to bring a coach back after this season when we have yet to play a down of football?
Is Coach Dodge the coach of the future? I hope so. Does 6-6, or even 5-7 bring him back next year? Who knows what this year could hold? I don't know... His team's results will dictate that and regardless of how you feel about him, everyone here on this board should be rooting for the MEAN GREEN to win every game. I'm pretty sure that is the case with all of us.
Say we start 5-1 with a sole loss to Clemson, then Dunbar,Santiago,Robertson & Tune/Thompson all go down with freak, season-ending injuries in game 7 and we lose out...but we're competitive. What then? Reprieve? I would hope so! We don't know the circumstances of the upcoming season. Let's just show up and support the green. If Coach Dodge deserves to stay, it will make itself apparent. If he needs to go, it will make itself apparent.
GO COACH DODGE! GO MEAN GREEN!

I hope this is not presumptuous to announce my own graduation, but I am very proud to let my friends at gomeangreen.com know that I am all set to receive my PhD this Friday when I "walk the stage" in front of friends, family, and colleagues. I will graduate with a degree in Clinical Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine with a emphasis in clinical psychophysiological treatment methods. My program is challenging, and I worked very hard during my 4 years of graduate education at UNT and 1 year internship at Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation (2005-2010). The makes earning my degree all the more special. Along the way, I also completed a Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2003-2005 at Texas A&M-CC. I will be at UNT for one additional year to complete a post-doc residency that will involve teaching, research, and work with patients. I will then live out another life dream when I join my father in private practice in Corpus Christi, Texas.
I have always been a strong supporter of UNT Athletics and will remain so for life! Even after I depart for Corpus, I plan to be a season ticket holder for football, and will make as many weekend basketball games as my schedule allows.
Great job Chris!

I was in the Walmart in Corinth today and in a prominent aisle in the middle of the store there was a 40+ foot long display consisting exclusively of OU junk. It practically jumps out at you. I did not look for NT items, I had the list to follow from my wife, but saw no display of items from any other University with the exception of a few UT items. It really offends me that a store less than 10 miles from UNT would have a display that large for an out of state school 200 miles away. The economic impact of UNT students and staff extends well beyond the city limits of Denton and certainly includes Corinth. I did not have time to fnd the manager and give him my opinion, although I shop there regularly I won't be going back.
There is no WalMart in Corinth. Do you mean Hickory Creek?

Thanks Glick. The previous picture was not one you'd expect from the face of your team.

I've always been fond of naming a stadium after a person as opposed to the team name, more history to it.
If it's history you're after, then why not name it "Normal/Teachers Stadium"?
I would not be opposed to the Rick V idea, but "Mean Green Stadium" would be my vote for now.

Golf 2010 sport is well entertaining game i like so but i need more about 2010 PGA Championship if you want that visit below website

NMSU hands down.
In my mind, it's not even close.
-
Compact in the sense of how close the stands will be to the field and how close the west stands are to the east stands = because of no track.
Gotcha! I wholeheartedly agree. The last row in this stadium will be about as good as the first row at fouts... unless you're watching a track meet, then what I said is not true.
-
Nice photos. Again, you can't really get a feel for how compact and large this stadium is until you stand on the deck at the AC.
To whom it may concern, if you live in the area and you haven't been to the AC deck to check out the stadium progress, you really should.
