I've been watching college football all day and have solidified my thoughts on this from all the viewing. I first noticed it during the UT game....

Why are NT's helmets so "large" around the upper part of the helmet? These new Revolution helmets are a bit larger but for some reason, the NT helmets look disproportionately larger.

I just can't place it my finger quite on it. The other Revo helmets I've seen today are bigger but still maintain the natural helmet "contour".

Could it be the facemasks are sitting too high? I've noticed many are still using traditional face masks and probably should switch to a Revo mask. Maybe that's the issue.

As you can see, I'm a nitpicker.....

Are you talking about the "wedge" looking part that runs from front to back? UT had those too.

UNT should look into the pills the UT players took before the game to monitor the internal body temperature. Plus those vests that you can circulate cold water through on the bench.

I don't know, but shouldn't we consider a LOGO on our helmets??

Yeah and your avitar is the one to use. Why did UNT go to the trouble and expense of developing what looks like a damn good logo if it won't be used in the most obvious place to use it, i.e. THE SIDES OF THE HEADGEAR???!!

I think you're talking about the anti-concussion helmet. Riddell makes it. Here's the link.

Or at the very least on the sleeves of the jerseys!

They'll use the logo when they change the color of the unis... did any of you catch the Marshall WVU game... I am going to hate when our green is that color. blink.gif Stick to the dark green it's much more classy and agressive looking.

Those are the Revolution helmets I was referring to.

After thinking about it a little more this morning, many of the North Texas helmets looked like they were fitted with a concussion "crown". Except the crown was part of the helmet.

Oh well, this is not an important discussion by any means. I'm just rambling....

You may be thinking of the Schutt DNA helmet that Jamario was wearing.

Ding Ding Ding!!!

You've solved that nagging riddle for me. This helmet is using a very long mask. Jmo's helmet was using the traditional 2-bar RB mask which sits a bit high. That is why it looked wierd to me.

Thanks Bryan!! I can rest in peace, now.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!
