I was checking around the Sun Belt today and found the blog of Ted Hutton, the beat writer who covers Florida Atlantic. He calls the Mean Green the Kind and Gentles:

As Hutton says in another post, FAU's defense was "embarrassing" last year and is only slightly better this year. They gave up 453.2 yards and 33.8 points a game last season and are down to 395.5 and 30.5 in the first two games this one.

I'd love to see the Kind and Gentles go in there and make that guy a little less smug. We're overdue a victory against FAU.

Any 'Belt team that is under .500 has a nickname from Ted;

I cant recall the all, but here are some:

FIU- Amber Kitties

ULM- Warblers

UNT Kind and Gentles

He has one for FAU as well when we stink but I cant remember it at the moment. Teds a lil strange but he does cover the 'Belt and FAU a lot.

Sorry to hear about your injuries, you guys just CANT catch a abreak.

I don't like the Kind and Gentles nickname, of course, but I like the fact that he cares about the entire Belt winning. Most of the media covering North Texas don't care about the conference much at all.
