    Graduating

    in UNT News

    Posted

    Congrats Rudy!!! You know, of course, that you will be required to sit in the "Tortilla-Zone" as a new alum. The good side is the sun is no longer in your eyes on the Alum side. The bad, The Eagle Angels sit in the front of section E...and can distract you from the game...hee-hee.

    Way to go, Man!!!

    GMG!!!

  3. Injury update from GMG Bowl -I

    Injury update:

    After spending a couple of hours in the Baylor Medical Center (Irving) ER, X-rays were completed. They thought the clavicle (collarbone) muscles were bruised, but the sonagram showed both muscles were torn. The doctor gave me a shot, a sling, and Vicodin. (I dont like needles, but the Vicodin is ok) I'm out of the football business for 2 to 4 weeks. (My Crescent team doesnt start practicing again until March, so I'm good there) Sorry for letting the white team down...I should have played better. Dont worry Emmitt, I will be ready for the Spring game in March, and we get another shot.

    Still, it was a great time!! If you're going to take a beating, at least get it from the guys you love!!!! Thanks to everyone for a great game and a good time!! Congrats Green team for great game. (That last TD catch she made after I tipped the ball AB threw was amazing!!!) Who knew there so much talent on that team.. See you guys at the next BBall game!!

    GMG!!!

  12. and with the #1 pick

    The best thing about this football game is that we are all still friends after this "tail-whipin" ends. I think the green team has plenty to keep their heads up for. They could play the best game of their lives..and only lose by 21. They could be watching Two Dollar Pistol (who wont be, right?) and then realize her husband is in THEIR huddle? (Good luck getting away with those comments, boys....)

    Just remember, when it's all over....we are supporters of the #1 team in the SBC. That makes us all winners! (Unless you are on the green team...the scoreboard will be a little depressing)

    Emmitt has quite a storied athletic past.

    After leading his first little-league football team (the "Twinkies") to their first ever winning season, Emmitt set his sites on bigger an better things. The Three-time "Best Blanket" winner of the national kniting competition, Emmitt went back to his football roots to see if his knitting successes would translate to the gridiron. After years of paying his dues, carrying towels and water bottles, and watching less talented...but more inteligent players reach the limelite...Emmitt was READY.

    Now, poised to make his name a household word, Emmitt took to the parking lot on a warm sarturday in Norman. Facing him would be one of the best "cover" safeties in Beer-league football!!! Scared, and unsure, Emmitt glanced across the line to face the #37 jersey that continued to haunt him in his sleep. Medpilot was there, and this was no nightmare!!! Emmitt would have to make his name against one of the best players to ever take the concrete. As the ball was snapped, a voice inside of Emmitt began to wisper the words that will forever remain the banner of underachieving receivers everywhere...."Go on...this guy cant hurt you..you are so plastered that you wouldnt feel it anyway!!!"....... Those famouse words ringing confidently in Emmitts ears, he lept across the line and started his route! Medpilot stepped into him and delivered a ferroucious JAM, but Emmitt was not to be denied. Down the parking lot he flew like a missile, and the ball was on it's way!!! All Emmitt had to do was make the catch, and make it he did!!! It was a TOUCHDOWN as the crowd went wild!!! The little Twinkie had grown up and made his dreams come true!!!! When interviewed after the game, Medpilot was quoted as saying "That kid is fast!!!, but he smells like Jack Daniels???"

  23. Darrell Dickey on ESPN All-Night.

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    Some of you probably have already heard it, but I just browsed through the ESPN College football site. I was looking at the Sunbelt Conference page there, and stumbled onto the interview Todd did with Coach Dickey on ESPN radio. I must admit that 90% was very good for the University and great fun to listen to, but there were a couple of comments that just keep coming back when Coach Dickey does interviews.

    First, DD again told Todd that EVERYONE gave up on those kids two years ago and abandoned them? That simply is not the truth. We did question how effective Darrell Dickey was as a head coach (Myself included...I admit that), but we NEVER gave up on this team? I had two very good friends on that squad (Dustin Dean and Ron Paris) and I was there for every single game to support them. As I look around at the majority of the people who post on this board, I see most of the people who are there now were also there two years ago when Dickey said we all abandoned these kids? I know he has a "humble" sense of humor, but this was said on ESPN national radio.. We questioned Dickey's ability to lead the team...not the players????

    Second, I realize we are not a big time program, but to keep giving the impression we are a small program is unnecessary. If you listen to the audio clip, he tells Todd that the Alum support and money "What little there is" is an issue. He is probably right , but do you say that on ESPN radio? There are noticeable improvements this season over what there has been in the past. YES, we have a larger hill to climb, but we are moving up....not down.

    Again, I like Coach Dickey....as most of us do. What he has done for this University and the football program cannot be praised enough...but please go easy on the alum support, Coach? We are there, and have been there for these kids. There are times when we have issues with the "Old Ball Coach's play calling", but that is the case everywhere. Lou Holtz said it best... "Half the people watching want me to run for President...the other half wants me to run for my life!!!"

    NT alumni donations low

    in UNT News

    Posted

    Not so fast.....Alum donations are getting better at North Texas. The concept of comparing North Texas to other Texas Universities. (SMU, TCU, UT, A&M, etc...) are pretty far fetched at this point. We arent going to match up well to those schools. David Layton suggested the problem is the communication with Alums, and he is partially correct. But I know there are Alums who give now that didnt a year ago, and my personal contributions have also increased. The Alum base may be smaller than UT or A&M, but we are talking apples and oranges. North Texas is building it's fan and alum base right now. We are growing in athletics, in enrollment, and in recognition. These are exactly the areas that attract Alum dollars. Let's compare apples to apples in two years and see where we are, after national recognition (as the larger universities have long since had) and a student population explosion have made their marks. I suspect the higher graduation numbers, along with the positive reputation from Athletic successes will have a noticeable affect on Alum contributions. We are just beginning to see the benefits of success in other areas...logic would dictate the Alum involvement and contributions will also pick up.

    By the way, I have my Diploma hanging in two places: A Picture on my office wall and the original on a wall in my living room. I'm as proud to be Mean Green as the others who post here...

    GMG!!!

WE BELIEVE IN THE MEAN GREEN!
