So does this mean we should see an announcement today? We know Peterson interviewed, but the article said two candidates interviewed. I wonder who the other candidate was?

Looks like the late '90s swimming/diving team jackets. Congrats on the collectors item! Rick Yeatts Photos

What was going on in the Mean Green nation on this date that would cause a total online record at GMG.com? I would have thought that the day after the '02 bowl win or the '07 SBC conf. championship/NCAA tourney game would be the records... I was not yet a member of this fine board at the time, I'm just curious. Online At Once Record224 On 04 August 2005 - 04:55 PM

I certainly hope coach Gandy decides to stick around, but he may just be waiting around for other options to develop and in the meantime, he's "planning to stay at North Texas." He deserves the attention...

This would be yet another Fantastic hire! His resume is very impressive: Greg Peterson

What is the story on Tyren Johnson? That guy looked like he could suit up for any AQ school. We played really nice defense on him in the first half, but then when UNT started to pull away in the second, it became the Tyren Johnson show. He's the only reason that game was close. If he wasn't so sloppy with his feet (travelled 2-3 times), he would have had more pts too.

I always enjoy a win much more when the team we beat is at full strength, but this makes the road a little easier. My one worry is that with playing weaker teams going down the stretch that the guys may settle into a groove and will be overconfident heading into the tourney.

I would expect this number, or slightly higher, only because of the K-State game. It will be nice to have this game over T-giving than a game with ARSt. or another SBC school over T-giving.

Depends on the student turnout... Good showing from the students should put us up maybe just over 6K. If we get a normal student turnout, then probably around 4800 or so. Lets hope the flyers and on-campus promotions are working!

This is much funnier if you imagine your avatar speaking these words.

Oh boy. I hope Bartolotta is not let down too much when JJ leaves in a few years (or after this season with a final 4 under his belt ) for "Money, Power, Prestige"...

Dat's some High quality H2O!

Rick, you're probably the most recognizable supporter of UNT athletics period. The respect for you is there my friend. You've been on the block much longer than I have (BA '05), so you know the history first hand. To me it's history, and I really appreciate history. For me, Patrick Cobbs is the best RB I've seen here at UNT. Brandon Kennedy is the best D-Lineman I have seen at UNT. My appreciation of history tells me that maybe Abner Haynes is the best RB ever, and Joe Greene is the best D-Lineman ever. That doesn't diminish my thoughts of Cobbs & Booger. It's not a lack of respect by any means... I just didn't see those guys. I'm sure other 'youngbloods' are the same as me. We love the guys that we saw play!

Did you walk 2 miles to school in the snow with no shoes, and uphill both ways when you were a little boy?

That is definitely the part that had me rofl...

Or, if you don't see any kind of reminder until the day prior or the day of... you think, "What? I would have thought about going to this game if I knew about it sooner. Since I didn't know about it because I'm not an ardent follower, I entered a dominoes tournament at the VFW post yesterday. Darn!" I think a healthy mix of both would be best, but I've heard we're operating on a shoestring budget in the Athletic Dept.

I'm there with the wife. Monumental game!

I think we'll see Smoak at some point this year. Davis has a small window to try and get something going because everyone knows who his replacement is if he doesn't produce.

I think the Angels lost enough (and didn't add enough) to bring them down to within reach for the Rangers. Unfortunately, the Mariners made some nice moves and will be right in the race as well. I think it all hinges on 5 key questions: 1. Will the Starting Pitching staff improve from last year? - It's almost expected with all of the youth in there. Can Feldman at least duplicate last year's performance? Will Harden stay healthy? 2. Will the bullpen come together? - A healthy Ray should bolster the bullpen alot. The guys that don't make the rotation will be nice to have in there for long relief as well. I really like Feliz in the bullpen. I hope he stays there. 3. Will Guererro be effective for the entire season? - No question he has the bat, but does he have the knees/back? 4. Will Hamilton bounce back to be effective at the plate? - Hopefully moving him over to a corner spot will help alleviate the injuries. He's at the 3 spot now (probably) so that should help. 5. Will Saltalamachia be able to hold down the catcher spot? - With Pudge gone it's Salty and Teagarden... I think Salty is a decent catcher, but I need to see a little more from Teagarden. I agree that they'll need to win the division to get in. I love baseball season!

I always learned in elementary school that "Canada is America's hat"!

The intriguing matchup here is WKU @ FAU. Hopefully FAU wins this one so they have confidence going into their game with MT. I don't think we'll see MT slip against FIU.

Respecting the magnitude of Thursday's matchup, I'll keep this simple: Yes. Oh Yeaahh!

I heard the big 10 is looking at Tiger to join their conference. It just makes sense. Tiger pulls in millions every year and he has a great academic reputation.

It's great that Lance is getting this kind of national pub. I hope he moves up from this list to a list of the All-American variety!
