  1. Yeah, you provide a ton of insight around here.
  2. We talked about the game and atmosphere at Apogee this morning on The ShakeJoint
  3. Working on the SMU sidelines for the past 3 years I have come away very impressed with Adrian Klemm. The guy joined June's staff a few years back as an unpaid assistant and very quickly turned into an outstanding OL coach and his recruiting ability has been award winning. His in game adjustments and ability to get through to his linemen was very noticeable from drive to drive. He turned a not that great OL into a solid one in very short order. After winning a few SB's withe Pats, getting great D1 assistant experience under a seasoned and well respected head coach, and showing the ability to land recruits out of state - AK will be a head coach down the road if he wants it. Great dude and easily the most impressive coach on June's staff. Wish him all the best at UCLA. Go Mean Green!
  4. You realize this is Craig Way's career you are speaking of right? Rich too....Hell I work on the SMU broadcast and am a NT alum. Because Rich and Craig might get a little 'homerish' is because they have invested time and energy in their work. Also, it's probably because they have gotten to know some good people in the programs. Believe it or not there are good people at other schools, not just UNT. Some here like to give me shit because I work on the SMU radio crew.....well I guess they can do that if they like. However, I would argue those people don't have a fucking clue about my career or the industry. They just want to throw rocks because an alum is not championing their rooting interest. There are 119 of these jobs in D1 football. If your career is in radio or play by play - you don't pass up chances to get one of them. No matter what your diploma says. Hell, Hank went to KU. Do you think it's fair for Jayhawk fans to bash him in a public forum, because he is doing what is best for both he and his family? You are a cop right?? Do you work in the town you grew up in? Chances are no....if you did great, but if not I can't imagine that anyone here would throw hate your way because of it.
  5. Huge win. Wins over big conference schools never will get old. So proud tonight.
  6. I do love the fact admission for students is zero. I went to just about every single game when I was there because of it. Made it up last night for the win over UTA. Loved the student section and the noise they made throughout. The band was great as always, and the scene overall has improved in recent years...winning does that I guess. Took 3 people that have never been before and they were very impressed. They said the Pit is kind like a mini version of old Reunion. I have always thought that too. If this thing keeps getting better, the designated student area will grow just like the program has under Johnny. Great night, been bragging about it all day.
  7. Didn't want to start a Tailgating thread, but I am heading up tomorrow night with some friends and was wondering if there was a more organized pre-game parking lot get down that I could check out. Lemme know, bringing beer.
  8. Like it or not UNT is still a place of learning. The kids who call the HS games are doing just that. If 88.1 was the exclusive home of NT Football then you would have a point. But the fact it's on 100.7 (a much stronger frequency in DFW) makes it alright in my eyes.
  9. I understand that it is frustrating that today's game was on 100.7 only, but let's all keep in mind these HS playoff games are a big deal to the young broadcasters that are announcing them. I know that it isn't exactly pro Mean Green. However, these guys are getting to show why the University of North Texas is a true leader in the country in producing quality broadcasters. Back to the hate.
  10. Just heard coach Chico's postgame with Jub. I gotta say I am fired up. The guy can obviously coach and is no stranger to the College game. That has been very apparent since TD was let go. Love the guy's attitude and passion. You could really sense that he was enjoying his work. The kids are buying. We should go ahead and take the interim tag off of him. There I said it. Lock the gate.
  11. Not bashing Jub and Hank at all. They are greatness and dear friends of mine. I was referring to the online video stream. Sorry to confuse you.
  12. Seeing what happens inside of that program up close I can say that June leaving in the next few years is not the given that some here think. Our new stadium will help, especially when it comes to the upcoming series with the Ponies. However, one thing I would like to see is more TV coverage. I want to say just one or maybe two of SMU's games are not on TV this season. They also have a pretty good week to week behind the scenes show on FSSW and CBSCS called 'The Climb'. Also ESPN is doing a 30 for 30 on the '09 season. UNT is on the tube 4 or 5 times?? Not good enough at all. Sure the Belt doesn't have it together at all when it comes to a TV deal, but the school needs to approach 21 or 33 or something. I know this is an old argument on this board, but considering NT is an elite Radio, TV, and Film school it maddens me to know that our fans who can't make it to Denton or a road game have to rely on Jub and Hank or MG Premium.....which let's be honest.....ain't all that premium. As much as some SMU folks irk me, they do seem to have their crap and $ together now.
  13. Tampa held the reg season tie breaker. Would not have been a 1 gm playoff.
  14. A- Why in the hell do you listen to that God-awful station. B- Radio hosts are not paid to wear pom-poms. It's an opinion driven medium. Wish people could get their arms around that a little more. C- That station really blows, hopefully the new PD will clean some house.
  15. Saw the game up close last night on the sideline. I do think The Frogs didn't play their best, but the SMU defense played a solid game against a QB who takes very good care of the ball and forced 2 turnovers. I know nobody here wants to hear it(and I try not to think about it)but the Ponies are light years ahead of us right now. Their talent at this point is marginally better, but their coaching staff is superior to TD and his staff. The ability for the position coaches to make in game adjustments and have the kids execute it properly is what makes that team able to hang with a top 5 opponent. I go back to it again and again...why on this green Earth did RV allow Dodge to roll with a full HS staff in year one? We were all blinded by the excitement of what Todd was supposed to bring, but we should have all known better when we saw his initial staff. Sad really, because when we play the Ponies in few years they will be even better. Bah!
