  1. Up to this point there was one small but valid excuse. We just don't have the depth. Well that is CRAP now. We have the depth and there should be no excuse for not putting up 50 points on Nichols State.

    I think you hit the nail on the head right there UNT96. Up until last year, I think even I would have a hard time opening up the passing game. Dropped balls were the norm. But we KNOW we can at least have an average passing game and up untill now it has been non-existant. And don't look for the Alabama game to be different. I think the first real test for this should be TCU.

    GMG!

    PASS THE BALL!!!

  2. “I grew up in athletics, where people keep score,” says McGraw, who, at a sturdy 6 feet 4, still looks a little like the college linebacker he once was. “It’s not about what you tried to do, it’s about the results. Life is a full-contact sport, and there’s a score up on the board.”

    Well, did he play for the mean green? ph34r.gif

  3. RV previewed it at the last state of the union meeting and I had the impression that it would be up in a month or so.  I agree that for a school of our size, the athletic web page is pitiful.  If it wasn't for one coach's willingness to talk to a few greenbackers off the record we wouldn't get any information from the coaching staff at all.  PR remains Dickeys's achilles heel.  And am I the only one who senses that RV has lost his enthusiasm and will be out of here at the first opportunity.

    As far as RV losing his enthusiasm, I suspect to some extent that may be true, but in the context of what he has done thus far, I'm willing to reserve judgement a little here. I think that the GMG fiasco whereby he said he wouldn't post anymore kind of left a bad taste in his mouth as for sharing info. HOWEVER, there is just no excuse for the website not be updated and current information dissemenated to the fans. ESPECIALLY when people have volunteered to give their time Free of charge.

    I sent him an email now probably over a month ago and haven't heard back. That's only a good sign if he is doing something really important that is taking up all of his time. Maybe he is - I don't know, all I know is that we would like to know the status on things like this, especially when we haven't heard anything much in a long time.

  4. What is going on at the Mean Green web headquarters? *crickets chirping*

    Seriously, what is up with MTSU - goblueraiders.com??? Every single day they have an in-depth writeup, pitcures and comments from the coaches from practice. As much as I appreciate the eagle eye (oops.. mean green report) , our Athletic dept. needs to be doing this as well. It basically shows people that they could care less about showing the fans and those interested what is going on behind the scenes and in practice in Mean Green country.

  5. Boy, we've gone down this path many times. A merger makes sense but the TWU alums and administration want nothing to do with it. You are correct, though, there is no reason for a TWU in denton. IT'S FREAKING CO-ED FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Sorry, but this situation is ridiculous. It's almost like at some point, it will have change its name and then what???? Will they compete with UNT??? Give me a break - merge the two and then Denton residents would have no excuse not to support the ONLY university in denton.

  6. "The new Scrappy is primarily for merchandising," Watkins says. "It won't be replacing the athletics icons or be used on official letterhead or business cards. But it does give people the choice to use Scrappy for merchandising or promotions."

    That is a quote from the article with the new Scrappy. WHERE IS THE NEW MERCHANDISE!!!!!???

    GMG!

  7. That's fine at UT, but at North Texas we just want people to show up with the least amount of hassle and effort. If you stop 1 person from coming to the games because he has to go through the hassle of picking up a ticket (which is basically meaningless because you get in free anyway) then that is a bad plan. Don't try to teach students a "lesson" about the value of a ticket, I personally could care less about that as long as they show up!

    GMG!

  8. For home games just show up with a picture ID, at least that how it has always worked in the past.

    You'll need to buy tickets to away games from the ticket office:

    940.565.2527 or 1.800.UNT.2366

    From what I understand, this is no longer an option. Students MUST go by the atheltic office BEFORE the game to get a ticket. They are free, just show a valid student ID.

  9. Umm.. I don't know about a park. I don't think the univerisity would have paid 400K for a picnic area. Sounds great, but they already have that across the street. They are going to build something big there. As a Sig Ep, who lived in that house, the only reason people lived in the house was because of it's location. Everyone wanted that house torn down as long as getting a replacement was a done deal. I actually lived in the Sierra apts across the street in the area you are talking about as well. That place is nasty. No doubt about it. It needs to be taken down, period.
