You all need to stop clinging on to the past. Its not relevant to today and it no longer matters outside of commemorations. Those days are long gone. Its the present and future that matters these days.

Has UNT learned it's lessons from the past?

I don't understand how some of the OLDER guys, who have seen many more ups/downs than me, keep throwing stones around in our glass house.

Congratulations to TCU for their fantastic run over the past decade and getting into the Big12 taking the VERY LONG route.

Maybe, just maybe, if UNT were to win at TCU's clip over a decade, and throw in a Doak Walker winner to boot, we could find ourselves in the same boat.

In the meantime, the Frog troll is really enjoying pissing on the GMG.com ant pile.

Just win. This year's senior class has the opportunity to start something great. Like a volcano that's been building over the past few seasons, it's time to BLOW UP!

Gotta say...this thread kinda hurts !!!!

Thanks for "re-upping" Plumm. I sat near, next, or around you at Fouts for years. It's good to have you back.

I repeat:

We will never forget that 30 plus year period of our football history in NCAA Division One when FrogVille would never schedule UNT because they did not want us to pad our series record against your school with "W's."

Face a few cold facts here, but more of a new revelation (perhaps) to new readers on GMG.com but TCU would not play North Texas back in that era because:

(1) we as the first school in Texas and the South/SW had integrated with 2 classy black guys on our football team in the 50's and T"christian"U did not want to tee it up with us because of that (never-minding one of those 2 model citizens made Time Magazine's 1'st team NCAA D1 All America team and then...

(2) we had a team the next decade (60's) with more NFL draft choices on one team than TCU would ever have on any one of their teams to date and then...

(3) Former UNT Coach Fry was out-recruiting TCU and your Coach F.A. Dry back in the 70's so, yes, you are right, we of UNT will not ever forget that era of 30 plus years of a TCU-less Mean Green football schedule and we for darn sure know why TCU doesn't want to ever remember that era, either.

But Froggy'w/o'Style, come on now & level with us since (after all) you are in our GMG.com living room (again), but are you really Lucifer-Frog in disguise? As in "is this your only real calling in life to try to convince us just how bleak our burgeoning with growth in every direction school's future is? F-S, might any 8 year old who would read your lagniape over here ask his daddy; "Is this Froggy Guy who keeps coming on the UNT board that jealous of North Texas or something the way he keeps carrying on?"

There is always good and bad with anything. We have 1 poster from "unt" (or who say he is) who has a negative slant or a "woe is the future of UNT at the NCAA D1 FBS level" slant on just about everything he posts. Even stranger is when he posts is how GL2G is never far behind those "unt" posts and then you come hopping along soon after--or at least it seems that way.

Yet, after a while, you really start wondering what all of your agendas truly are that would keep yall in a constant mode of negativity. We all know damn well what yours and GL2G's modes are. Both of your alma mater's seem to see North Texas as some kind of threat the way any one can read between the lines. It's really gets old and tiresome after a while when yall are on our North Texas forum depositing steamers in "OUR" living room. Do you ever see any of our group on yalls boards? "Someone" aka "GL2G" do you have a "short" response to that?

Here are TCU's future problems:

First of all, you know as well as I that TCU is never going to dominate a large state school dominated Big 12, so I guess that is when we will depend on you to come over and have a few tears in you beer?

Then...........DFW Metroplex college football fans will be looking for "some DFW area university" that is winning more than they are losing and that's when a Coach Dan McCarney-led Mean Green football program steps forward.

And then your Coach Patt' will finally see the writing on the B-12 wall with a brutal year in and year out Big 12 schedule and finally decide to boogie to one of those Big 12-type large state universities who will pay him 5 x's more than TCU will want to pay. He's a D1 guy so he will also want to coach before 70K to 80K fans instead of TCU's much smaller fan base. You see, Devil-Frog, that is when the college football pendulum will be turning in the North Texas Metroplex and turning in a northerly green-tinted direction to boot.

So.............FroggieDevilGuy, go download of ITunes Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" and then I want you to especially listen to the perfect phrasing of ol' Blue Eyes in that classic when he sings the line................."riding high in April---shot down in May."

Get ready, TCUDevilGuy, because yalls May is on the way.

GMG!

Well, its really not all of us OLDER guys. In fact, I think we have all the Negative Neds out-numbered.

MeanGreenTexan, some of our elect would find reason to gripe and do the "woe is us at UNT--we'll never do better" thing even if they were in the Playboy Mansion for a one year paid vacation with a one year supply of Viagra in their med cabinets.

Good one Plumm. Speaking of songs, I'm looking forward to the day when TCU's theme song becomes Clarence "Frog Man Henry's" I'm lonely frog". You younger guys can I Tune that sucker.

In 97 Texas Tech was a 33.5 point favorite when we played them in Lubbock. We won. Same in 95 against Oregon State when we beat them at Fouts.

These are the kind of games I was thinking of. 16 years since the last one.

We need one. Bad. Only shot this year is Georgia.

Stupid UNT fans don't know that Horned Frogs are actually lizards. One should be concerned about the quality of the education they are receiving from a school that doesn't teach its students the difference between a reptile and an amphibian.

Also to whoever said something about me "pissing on the antpile that is GMG", keep in mind that Horned Frogs eat ants. But of course, I wouldn't expect you guys to know that either. After all, you give out degrees for knowing how to play the kazoo and prancing around like a fairy. The hardest thing you will ever read at UNT, is the back of a cereal box.

A " horned frog" is actually a lizard, and North Texas fans are stupid ?

It seems to me that a school that puts a lizard on it's helmet and calls it a frog, and a TCU fan that is fascinated with NT, and calls himself "froggy" (a lizard ?) might also qualify as stupid.

The TCU fighting lizards might be an improvement.

There are multiple types of horned frogs. Many (maybe most) are amphibians, from doing just a little research. You wouldn't know it from reading TCU's admissions site though.

I'm not sure someone is stupid for not knowing (or caring) what type of horned frog TCU models their mascot after.

Is that your mommy we hear calling you to come to the breakfast table to eat your Cheerios?

And you say horned frogs are actually lizards? Well, when we think of lizards from now on we will all think of you.

And why is is that TCU abandoned the true color of purple for some shade of blue? Is it that TCU is ashamed of the color purple? Maybe a bit too....effiminate?

You do know purple was Donny Osmonds favorite color back in the day, right? Heck, put some black horn rimmed glasses on Donny Osmond along with some buck teeth in for his uppers and you have your typical nerdy looking TCU student there. What a cool school TCU is.

Fact: TCU will be lost as they now walk in a high cotton field that Baylor itself has yet to win a football championship in all of its Big 12 years and just what is it that TCU is going to do so different? Coach Patt' will soon have had enough of all this and want those larger big state school with so much more upside kind of audiences that TCU will never be able to deliver him.

When a bowl-elgible TCU goes to a bowl it will be one like the Heart of Dallas Bowl in the Cotton Bowl Stadium on New Years Day to play a C-USA team. Oh! Wait a minute---WRONG! it was recently announced that the opponent in that game will be a Big 10 school. To quote Guv' Perry: Whoops!

Hop along now off this board, Lizard Borden. We've seen enough axe action from you to last a life time.

I'm sure you know a lot of meaningless crap about nothing.

I mean, just look at the time you spend on a school's website that isn't in your conference and that you don't play.

With the time you apparently have on your hands, I'm surprised you don't know everything about everything.

Really, its just kinda sad.

[ragpicker]

I agree with all of the above responses to Lizard Style's senseless prattle. Poor old LS, you are a lonely frog. You ain't got no mudder you ain't got no fadder, you really ARE a lonely frog and you ain't got no home. Apparently.

One should be concerned about the quality of the education THEY are receiving... At least we know that our subjects should agree with our nouns.
