Ok - this is starting to make a little more sense now. While at the scrimmage, I was talking with some folks that said they were students and were there to see a QB that they had been in a class with at one point (they didn't know many names of players). So I started down the list of QB's: Thompson, Tune, Baine, Dodge - but they kept saying the guy's name was "Dodson". I thought maybe they just really didn't know the guy's name, but looks like they did...

We could put out a call to the Women's soccer team Think Kathy Ireland...

I received an email this afternoon from Jamie Adams - Director of Promotions Correction - The Football Scrimmage will start at 8:30 am. My son and I will be there doing the 1 Mile Run (actually he will run - I will do something that vaguely resembles running).

The Football Stadium in Denton Ok, seriously... there are so many great people in our school's history for which the stadium *could* be named after - I would rather name it something more related to our sports teams or the location. Maybe something like Mean Green Stadium or Eagle Point Stadium At least until there is a named sponsor

This is tough, but I have a feeling we're lucky it wasn't worse (like a crushed hand). At least he will be able to do conditioning and some route running. Would be great to have him back for the first game.

Another one that wasn't exactly within the last 10 years, but since we are strolling down a painful memory lane... 1994 Boise St 24 UNT 20 First round of the I-AA playoffs in a year that I think we could have gone very deep (maybe even one the thing) had we been able to get out of the first round. If memory serves, I believe we were ahead for most of this game until things fell apart late as Boise started blitzing on about every play.

@ Clemson - Loss 40-17 -- decent showing versus a solid team RICE - Win 30-27 -- we finally get some breaks in a close game @Army - Loss 24-20 -- we don't get the same breaks as the previous week @ Florida Atlantic - Loss 30-27 -- this loss tests the patience of our fandom and resolve of the team ULL - Win 31-17 -- big win for the good guys Ark State - Win 27-20 -- Big Mo is on our side FIU (Homecoming) - Win 37-27 -- we're rolling @WKU - Win 37-24 -- we're 5-3 !!! Troy - Loss 24-17 -- we play tough in a game that actually means something late in the season @Middle Tennessee Loss 31-16 -- we're at .500 @ULM - Win 34-20 -- huge win for Dodge Kansas State - Loss 34 - 13 -- we keep it close for a while 6 Wins 6 Losses

Yuck... that would be a really ugly season - but hard to argue with their prediction success. I am predicting 6 wins - the 3 that CFP predicted plus Rice @ home, LaLa @ home, and LaMo on the road. I want the Troy game to really mean something on 11/6.

Oh man - I am soooo pumped for this season!!!! Great find! Same question... What is TFT ???

This... Timetable for a baseball stadium and sponsoring men's baseball - and also what women's sport would be added to keep Title IX compliant (I assume we would have to add another women's sport - but could be wrong).

Tevinn Cantly -- #96 I think this guy is going to push others on the D-Line for playing time. I'm probably drinking way too much Green Kool-Aid in July, but somehow I'm excited to see how this D-Line is going to perform. Tevinn Cantly

From the 2010 Preview article... 2009 Misc Stats Turnover Margin: -1.17 per game (last in Sun Belt, 117th in Nation) Fix this... and I think a 7-5 2010 campain is not out of the question.

Underrated! +1

The upcoming conference shake-ups are a chance for us to move up in the college sports world. The article about a meaner greener WAC is an interesting view, but from a UNT point of view, it is based on the flawed view that WAC membership brings more prestige than Sun Belt membership. I really don't think that folks in DFW (or Texas for that matter) really care any more about the WAC than the Sun Belt. We need to think bigger... what if the newest PAC-10 rumors are true and between 4-6 Big 12 teams end up moving? What does the Big 12 do at that point to survive (or does it survive at all)? I'm not suggesting that we would end up in a weakened Big 12, but the potential domino effect is incredible. I really think we are very close to CUSA membership if the domino effect takes any CUSA members. If that member was SMU, then I think we're in. At this point, I would view the WAC as a survival-only move - we can and should do better.

As much as I hate to say it, the Dallas / Ft. Worth market is basically a Big 12 market for college football (mostly Texas, A&M, and OU with some TTech) with a smattering of TCU, SMU, and UNT publicity. Ft. Worth does give TCU some decent love. SMU gets a little pub for actually being in the city of Dallas. But really, when it comes to football, it is Dallas Cowboys, Big 12, then others. I don't like it that way, but it is the reality of DFW sports. Could UNT become the "darling of DFW"? Yes, but that would come through a long period of winning and getting some national pub - because the DFW market is interested in big winners. When we were I-AA, we did get quite a bit of publicity from the DFW media during the year that we were ranked #1 nationally and beat TTech and Rice. But in following years, it was like we didn't exist. So if you want media attention in DFW - winning is the name of the game.

Thanks to Kram, UNT Flyer, and all of the sponsors (and to our 2 esteemed former players for coming out). I had a great time and enjoyed meeting lots of folks. Congrats to the Green Team -- next year *will* be a different story... Now time for Alleve and bed ...

Cooley's list is excellent. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Ronnie Morgan. While his dunks were not necessarily "pretty", he had one of those great power dunks ala Charles Barkley that would just about shake the SuperPit.

Quote from Vito's last blog entry: "This is a UNT blog. We immediately disavow knowledge of anyone in any way associated with SMU." I like it

+1 for using The Great One's voice during your rant.

Man, TFLF is getting me fired up with all the positivity lately - and a Todd Dodge quote at the end of the postings? I am most certain now that The RealLonnie Finch has abducted TFLF

Name - ForneyGreen Size - M Height - 5'6" Weight - 160 Age - 42 40 - Actually, I'm a little over 40 (see above) Scouting Report: Although I have no real athletic ability, I am a true steal for that team that is looking to achieve GMG.com Bowl glory. Don't let my 5'6" frame mislead you - I play like I'm 5'7". This will be my first GMG.com Bowl - I've been in training the past 10 years.

This is awesome. Our BB program has finally surpassed UCLA, Indiana, and UConn

Man, I've aged 50 years during this Sun Belt Tourny... Very proud of Coach Jones and our entire team. GMG!!!!

1) Good for UTA - about time that they stop playing BB on a stage. Looks like seating capacity is about 6,500 for this new facility - which is pretty nice for a Div I school in the SLC. We have a capacity of over 10,000 in the SUPERPIT :-) 2) Maverick Stadium is a fine Div I FCS (or large High School) stadium. I've been there and it's not too bad. Not sure that UTA will ever get back into the football game, but I'm sure the SLC woudl love to see that happen. 3) Thank God we're getting our new football stadium!!!

Wow - both UT and Ohio St made the Top 10 - twice each!! I know they are so proud.
