Reminds me of the LSU-UNT ball game that I attended in Baton Rouge in '95. We came out for an entire series and lined up everybody wide except 3 lineman and the QB in the shotgun. It wasn't very successful, but the Tigers fans were loving it and were cheering for our boldness and ingenuity. Good feeling. GMG!

Hate to say it, but we are way overmatched. North Texas - 3 Texas - 48 This is being generous. However, I have to add another prediction: SMU - 17 North Texas - 30 GMG!

After reading about UNT players in NFL camps, I decided to look up former players in other pro leagues. I couldn't get accurate rosters for the NIFL. Feel free to add if you come up with some I missed! Canadian Football League: British Columbia Lions - Markeith Knowlton Arena League: Dallas Desperados - Evan Cardwell Nashville Kats - Jason Ball Tampa Bay Storm - Umar Muhammad (Corbin Epps Montgomery) Arena 2 : Bakersfield Blitz - Alex Pahulu OK City Yard Dogs - Aaron Chavers OK City Yard Dogs - Walter Priestly

Plumm, I'm afraid my first game was a Joe Niekro win vs. the Pirates so it's past the early era. Last I heard, the Dome will become a large resort. Don't know anymore than that. Now that begin to think back a bit, I remember watching a game at Fouts (in '97 I think) where Jason Mills keeps driving up and down the field in a duel with Utah State (not sure about the opponent) and we win on the last play of the game with a pass over the goal line (to Brod McGrew who was living at West Hall where I was an RA.) ....... Good times.

Sorry, man. They're still great. Wish I could have seen either of those two eras!

Wow, Plumm. I'm jealous that you were at the opening of the Dome. She was quite a lady. Especially when you walked in for the first time. It's funny because my dad pulled me out of school to go to that playoff game and told me I had a dentist appointment and then we pull up to park at the Astrodome and I was elated. Too bad they couldn't pull that game out. Mike Scott was scheduled to start the next game and would have put US into the World Series. (Would the ball still have gone through Buckner's legs vs. the 'Stros?.... mmmmhh.)

Those are great memories gangrene (especially NT-Texas Tech), but didn't Notre Dame beat UH (Not UT) in that 1979 Cotton Bowl. Also, I'm pretty sure Hayden Fry was long gone before Eric Dickerson and Craig James made it to SMU. GMG!

Game 6, 1986 NLCS. Astros-Mets. 16 innings. I grew up going to Oilers and Astros games, but I never knew the Dome could get that loud.

Quarterback - 1st Team - Jason Mills 2nd Team - Josh Gulley

Just to make you feel better, the UNT department of housing is running out of beds every fall and is building more dorms. Next time you are on campus, go look at the back parking lot of Clark Hall at Ave D. and Eagle. Ta da! That's a new dorm.... and there are more in the works. GMG!

Watching the Giants-Ravens preseason replay on the NFL network (love that channel and CSTV) when I see Adrian Awasom get in on a Kyle Boller sack. Their official site mentions that Awasom is backing up Strahan and will get some playing time on the D-line this year. Go get 'em Adrian. On a side note, it sucks to be Boller and get your job yanked out from under you by McNair. GMG!

Thanks, Harry. It seems to me that this area of any team (along with the d-line) is always the most crucial. Games are won in the trenches. Especially at North Texas. I'm not saying that skill players don't matter at all, but they don't matter much if you can't control the lines. GMG! (Thanks for reading my post of the obvious)

1. MEAN GREEN ALWAYS #1! t2. LSU (family ties and MANY LSU grads in Texas. t2. Any Texas team that plays someone out of state. Congratulations to all of you. It takes a special person to be a loyal Mean Green fan!

Let me just say that I love a good rivavlry, but let's not grow this thing into an unhealthy obsession (at least until we show them the wrong side of a tail- whuppin' once or twice.) The example I use is Texas-Texas A&M. Texas A&M is a great school with a fine athletic tradition, but isn't it sad that they've developed such an unhealthy obsession with the University of Texas? It permeates their existence. Just listen to their fight song (battle waltz, war hymn, whatever you want to call it.) Instead of telling me how great their school is, it tells about beating Texas and sawing off horns. Really? Seriously? It seems to me that they care more about beating Texas than anything else and Texas cares about winning national championships more than anything else. Which school would you say is accomplishing this feat with greater regularity? I realize that the rivalry is more one sided right now in most sports than in the past, but I've always had the feeling that Aggies hate Longhorns more than Longhorns hate Aggies. From where I sit as an unbiased Mean Green loyalist, Longhorns see Aggies as more of a nuisance while Oklahoma is the real rival. This brings me to my point. SMU probably views us more as the nuisance while TCU is the rival. We should set our goals much higher because I truly believe that our ceiling is much higher than SMU can even dream about. Just to clarify, I love making fun of Aggies, but only bexause it is an excellent institution. The fact that they feel like they have to measure up to Texas in every facet of college life just seems unnecessary to me. They have nothing to prove. As a state flagship institution, they should be better than that. Just my thoughts.... -Megagreen GMG!

-Cobbs should get a chance with somebody. -Taurean Henderson is as quick as lightning and I was also suprised that he was not drafted. -The Texans offensive line was actually a fair run blocking unit. They just couldn't pass protect. If Domanick Davis can rush for 1000 yards behind that line, I'm sure Bush could. That is all. GMG!

Alief Elsik High School '93 We've had a few NT players from Alief. (Elsik, Hastings, and now Taylor.) (Rashard Lewis with the Sonics, also.) GMG!

Just to be more confusing, both STAFFORD and STRATFORD are in the Houston area and both use Spartans as their mascot. I'm pretty sure they both use the color green also. Stafford is in South/Southwest Houston while Stratford is in Spring Branch ISD with Memorial (Clemens' kids), Spring Woods (Roger Clemens), and Northbrook. Just FYI. GMG!
