  1. Wesloski can play! Saw him in HS. Hope he can contribute this season Let ‘em Run!! Mean Green for Life!
  2. We paid nearly 20 players this past season!
  3. Here is the truth: a student manager ruined the basketball teams white uniforms early in the season. That is why we wear grey at home. We do not have WHITE for this season. As far as the alternate colors: Black, Grey, etc. that is what the recruits want to see. Us OLD SCHOOL people would prefer GREEEN/WHITE, but we have to offer alternative uniforms to attract the athletes.. These kids want options! Have you looked at Instagram or Snapchat lately? Unless you are UT, Alabama or USC you need to do what these kids want. I can promise you. NO school wants to have all these uniforms options. It cost a lot of money to have all these options. I HATE that we are now using UNT instead of North Texas or Mean Green, but our President believes it is best that we use UNT for our logo. You will no longer see North Texas on any products that are authorized by North Texas. Supposedly they did a study and UNT was better? I would like to see those results. Everyone on this site went to some form of North Texas, but not UNT. Also, UNT can be made into some bas words. Mean Green for Life!!
  4. It is not only Seth, it is his staff. All great HC have excellent staffs around them. We did not lose a coach this off season. I do not want to lose Seth, but I'm more concerned of who he takes with him (probably everyone). Wherever he goes, he will have more money for his assistants. We might keep 1 or 2 if we hire 1 of them as the new HC and promote someone from the staff to a OC or DC, but I bet most of them will go with Seth and continue to build on what they started here together. If we were to lose Seth, his replacement will have to compile a staff that not only can coach, but recruit like this staff has done over the past few years. With that said, we should attract a talented coach.
  5. Did you not watch the game on TV? What are you trying to prove with your argument? It was raining and their fans showed up. It was raining in Denton and our fans base bailed for the most part. Someone earlier in this thread asked for proof of fans showing in bad weather. I watched the game when I got home so I knew of one, so I replied.
  6. Arkansas had over 51K in Little Rock Saturday in a downpour. They have won 1 game this season
  7. It is my understanding that our AD department can recommend or schedule times. Our HC would play every game at 11am if it were up to him. Hard to keep kids involved waiting around all day waiting for a game. AD department would prefer later times to accommodate our fans. Saturday showed that most of our fan base are TRUE fair weather fans! Disappointed in our turnout for a very GOOD football team. We have to do better as a fan base. We need to show up no matter the time or weather.
  8. I didn't understand our offensive philosophy in the 2nd qtr. I believe we should have run the ball more. Also, we had some dumb penalties on defense that kept drives alive for La Tech
  9. A walk-on gets nothing financially other than swag/pregame meals mentioned previously from the team. They must pay for everything unless traveling with the team. They must get a meal plan, but they can eat in the team dining hall. Even if you only get books, you are considered on scholarship. This mainly happens in Olympic sports. Those sports have to divide a number of ships by the team. Baseball now has a 25% minimum scholarship requirement for any funding. I believe baseball gets 11.9 ships for a 29 man roster. Men's golf has 4 scholarships that they must split between their roster.
  10. Nice choice, Thank you Mike Villa!!
  11. What everyone is missing is I believe its a financial decision. If we play early it does not cost the school any extra money. The kids will still be on campus. If we play later, they will have to bring the players, managers, equipment managers, staff, etc. and they have to house, feed at an added expense. I do not think its a player decision, its an AD decision. $$$$$ If you really want a different bowl game, Donate more to the program and our program can afford better things.
  12. Great News from Houston this morning. The injured RB was released from the hospital this morning. I have a friend who's son plays at Rice. This information was given to the Rice team this morning.
  13. If we make a Bowl Game, I bet this is our home uniform. All White if we are the Road Team. Just a hunch
  14. North Texas is collecting items to help with the relief effort in HOU. Mattress Mac has requested this help from the Ath Dept. North Texas is taking donations at GATE 2 until Monday afternoon. Please do what you can. We do not need our trailer showing up empty to half full.
  15. Loading goods for trip to Houston this morning.
  16. Trucks getting lined up for convoy to HOU
  17. Pictures from the donation area. UofH football team is loading the trucks.
  18. North Texas, SMU, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, Texas, Texas State, UTSA, (UofH Host)
  19. UofH started a relief effort asking all FBS schools in Texas to provide their equipment truck to help transport donated goods to Houston. This was put together in a matter of hours. 8 schools will participate, North Texas being one of them. Trucks will arrive in Austin this morning to accept donations. We need all North Texas alumni / fans in the Austin area to donate if possible. Please help spread the word. Donation Location / Date / Time: Today: August 31 Time: 1pm - 5pm Location: 1212 E. Anderson Lane, Austin TX 78752 They are asking for Non-perishable food (PULL TOP canned vegetables are of great need), personal care products, Cleaning supplies, baby / infant supplies, first aid items. MEAN GREEN for LIFE!!
  20. Plus if we can increase our donations per member each year. NT lacks in donor funding compared to most programs in the Group of 5. I just ask that each of us make a point to give more if possible. Whatever you can increase will help. Every little bit helps. I know some people are maxed out, but I also know that we have a bunch of members on this board that do a ton of complaining and do not give 1 dime to this program. We can only get each program more competitive with better facilities to help in recruiting. Facilities are built with the $$ that we donate. MEANGREEN for Life!!
  21. My dad coached in that district so I got to see some great talent during those years. Saw Rice play several times. But, Earl Campbell was by far the best I've ever seen. I saw Worster in that McKinney game but was too young to really remember. Daunte Hickson, Randy Simmons had unbelievable HS careers, but college was derailed by injuries.
  22. I listened to Dana Holgorsen last week. He said he cares less about recruiting rankings. He recruits to his needs and who he thinks can help his team win. He made the comment that his 2012 recruiting ranked in the 50's, they reshuffled the rankings this year and that class was moved to the Top 10. Everyone needs to tap the brakes on the negativity. 3 years ago, we would have never been in the running for some of the kids we lost, ie McNeal. At least we had a chance at him this time. We all have to agree we needed WR's and OL. I think we did well in those areas.
