Ken 14....Where do you live ?

I don't know who "Romo" is since this is a North Texas Football board. But I do think Riley Dodge knows the bill of a baseball cap goes in the front. GO MEAN GREEN

I hadn't thought of it until this post. I hate to go to an NT game and see someone wearing something from a school not even on the field. If you go to a TCU game I think one should have the respect to wear TCU (or SMU) colors, or just wear something neutral. I see guys at our games wearing stuff from Texas or OU. Bad form. In my humble opinion. GO MEAN GREEN

No name on the back. What a wonderful idea. GO MEAN GREEN

Well yeah. It came from my avatar. GO MEAN GREEN Hmmmm...Looking again, this is Joe arms up. Mine is Joe arms down. I don't know where it came from.

Interesting that is is behind the Green Machine. They'll be behind something else Green all day Saturday. But it's fun that someone even cares. No harm...no foul. GO MEAN GREEN

What are the rules here ? Can we introduce ourselves to these recruits ? Ask them their names ? Talk ugly about Middle tennessee ?

Curious...If it's not televised, how are the officials able to review a questionable call ? Are all games televised or at least recorded ? I'm not talking about game film. I'm talking about two guys in the pressbox wearing sport coats and ties. Or do the officials look at the video that will later be refered to as "game film ?" GO MEAN GREEN

If I live to be a million, I'll never forget the 40 or so yard run by this freshman with an unusual name. The Colorado fans were silent. The North Texas fans went wild. JaMario was the talk of the bar at the Bolderado Hotel after the game. Many of you will remember trying to get the Green Brigade to learn the "Super Mario" theme song. My son even set up a "SM" desk top for me so I could listen to the song whenever. GO JaMario GO MEAN GREEN

The MUTS are really cranked up. Go to MTSU.RIVALS ( or something like that) and look at the topic "Harmon report." I invited them to come for the hospitality and stay for the upset. Whew. You'd have thought I was talking bad about their English Department or something. GO MEAN GREEN

or locusts

Stockstill: "...roll our hat out there and expect to win." What in the world does that mean ?

Did you notice that SMU, listed at # 100, has a 1-1 record. Did the game against SFA not count in rankings since SFA is 1-AA ?

Anita Bryant is still a big deal along the southeastern part of the US. What I don't understand is why those chimes are names after Denny's. Although, sometimes, I like a Grand Slam breakfast right after a football game. GO MEAN GREEN

The "Texas" cheerleaders need to give the "alumni" side a bit of warning. Sometimes, people are actually watching the game and don't notice when the "student" side does something. If the Alumni side cheerleaders were to say something like, "OK We're going to do the North Texas chant." Give the signal to the student side and off we'd go. Rick is right. It needs to have a specific end. Such as "Mean Green" and from the other side "Fight, fight, fight" or similar. And speaking of cheerleaders, I find the throwing of little balls and t-shirts to be a distraction. Do it before the game or before the teams come back on the field after halftime. I'm trying to watch the game and people are risking life and limb to catch a 50cent ball or $2 t-shirt.

That's an interesting photo of Abner Haynes. The old Dallas Texans's colors were red and white. Has Abner been a victim of Photo shop. or is that a college era photo used by the Texans before they had a photo op with Abner ? Oh...I like the green pants. "Singing Glory to the Green" GO MEAN GREEN

The stand up-sit down thing is a problem. Just for fun... If you brought your Mom and/or Dad to the game, and their seats were directly behind your seats, would you stand the entire game. If they complained, would you ask them to move to some crappy seats ? If you brought your new girlfriend to the game, and the only seat available was behind you, would you stand for the entire game ? Would you ask her to move somewhere else ? I stand for much of the game myself. And when Tim Crouch says. "THIIIIIRRRRDDDDD DOWN...." I stand up. Isn't that what we're supposed to do ? "That's good for another Mean Green 'First Down.'" Can that even be done sitting ? It seems to me, it's kinda a seat-of-the-pants thing. We stand on big plays. But every play could be a big play. So when shuld we sit ? Or stand ? GO MEAN GREEN

OK. Here's another one for you. "The name on the back of the jersey is not as important as the name on the front of the jersey." Just play the game. If you do a good job, the other team will know who you are. GO MEAN GREEN

The coaches stuff looks great. Did you see the jacket RV had on last night ? MEANGREENGEAR has nothing except hoodies and "Helwig" era golf towels. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I swear good looking clothing like the coaches wear would sell if given a chance. I wonder if the coaches would like to have a "garage sale" after the season ?

I bet the line is NT plus 30 And I hope we win straight up.

This happened at a critical point in the drive. I thought I saw him grab to top of his jersey and hold it up toward the visitor's bench as if to say, "I'm number 4. I'll be here all night." Well, after he was flagged, and Tim Crouch announced his name over the PA, we all knew his name and his number. There's no "ME" in "TEAM."

I could tell somethig was up when Riley slammed his helmet down on the training table. but then, he sat down on the end of a bench in the center of the field, and was surrounded by players trying to block the view of the fans, and whoever else, of what was being done to riley's shoulder (?). After this makeshift huddle broke up, Riley walked around and shook player's hands as they came off the field. Point is, he never acted like a guy with a shoulder injury. No sling, didn't take off his pads, and encouraged the fans to make noise. I've never seen anything like it. Tough loss. GO MEAN GREEN

It's warm. It's our team. It's a little wet. Just like when you take a shower. You'll dry. Go to the game. GO MEAN GREEN

Holy moly... There's a Mean Green Football game tomorrow. GO MEAN GREEN

One of my favorite things to do during football season is to visit the opponent's fan board. Sometimes they're thoughtful, sometimes, they're angry, but always they are fun. Looking just now at GMG.COM, one would think that the OHIO game is the only game to be played in the nation this week. Of the first 18 topics, almost all of them are discussing this week's game against OHIO. Or, how we did last week and how that should effect this week's game. Everyone on GMG.COM is talking about OHIO. Contrast that with a visit to BOBCATATTACK.COM. On the first page, of all the titles, North Texas is mentioned once. They talk about their QBs, their coaches, even a comment from a UCONN fan. But nothing about NT. If a stranger were to read GMG, he'd come away believing that this was the biggest game of the year. If he read BOBCATATTACK, he'd think they had an off week. I'm anxious for our new friends from OHIO to come to Denton. I know they'll be treated well and I know they'll have a good time. But at the same time, a little good-natured banter would certainly add to the days leading up to kick off. Welcome Bobcats, but GO MEAN GREEN
