Wow I just read this whole thread. For those fortunate enough to start at the bottom a quick summary: UNT got some great publicity. Dan McCarney invented hyperbole. Meangreener is tilting at windm

It absolutely does. He toots his own horn all the time. Kind of annoying. And to be honest he's too old to be doing this kind of BS. He's not going anywhere after this place, so why pound your chest e

Before we let it die.....

http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/82719/tcu-hopes-new-offense-levels-playing-field

TCU knows what they have to do to win and that the same ole approach is not going to carry them too far. If you want to make it big time (consistent winning) and not named Alabama, gotta change it up. Gary Patterson realizes that trying to outmuscle people and play good D has him sitting at a 6-12 record 2 years inside the big12.

We don't play in the Big XII. We can win our conference with a physical fast D and a smash mouth offense.

Patterson is holding out hope that this new offense can save his job. They basically had no offense last year. They have no QB who can throw. I bet they struggle even more this year and their defense will suffer. I'd imagine they are going to a zone read baised scheme. So it's going to still be a run first oriented offense.

Not just for winning a bowl game, but for being the first black female coach in major college football to win one.

Frankly, it's amazing he can even call a play, since he's been hiccuping non-stop for 9 years straight. But he can, and I think we've got a bright, bright future here with him as a coach. Assuming we find a cure for AIDS, of course.

Dude found--and RAISED--the Titanic. You can't hold that against him. Plus, he fired the kill-shot on the evil-doers. Everywhere. With one eye. That's saying something, and something I think he should be proud of and trumpet.

Hey, I remember fifth grade!

[uNT90's response: I bet you do, since you're in fifth grade.]

(Someone should really lock this thread.)

Actually my response was going to be "you remember seeing it from your 2nd grade class room?"

But close.

you're right... we should get away from our weaknesses like the most experienced line we've had in a looong time and our stable of running backs and instead turn the keys over to an unproven quarterback and our one solid returning ballcatcher...

what the hell is Mac thinking?

Don't put words in my mouth. Obviously play to your current strengths.

I may get burned for saying this, but the up tempo more open offense suits McNulty more. That's the type of offense you want correct?

Better suited for running the zone read (than Greer), gets the ball out quicker in terms of delivery, more accurate in the shorter throws

Did you guys realize that most of our players couldn't even read or write when Mac arrived? He taught them.

I think everyone has forgotten how it started for Mac. There were only 3 people at his first home game: Mrs. Mac (who left at halftime), Rick V, and the mayor of Denton. And when it looked like we might beat Houston... The mayor of Denton pulled out a rifle and shot Coach Mac right in the spine. Cost us the game!

When I think of Coach Mac in that wheelchair, and how it hasn't stopped him from building this program... Well, I get a little misty-eyed.

      Atin Wright is officially signed with Mean Green

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament team selection transfer guard Atin Wright. Wright comes to North Texas from Drake where he was the MVC champion's second leading scorer averaging over 14 points per game during the season and was one of the league's top 3-point shooters as he made 65 long range shots at a 40.6 percent clip. The 6-foot-1 guard started all 32 games he played in last year and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 2024 MVC Tournament championship as he averaged 16.3 points per tournament game and poured in 17 points in the title win over Indiana State. For his tournament performance he was named to the league's all-tournament team. Wright will have one year of eligibility remaining. In Drake's NCAA Tournament game last year, Wright led all players as he scored 20 points on 8-of-14 shooting versus Washington State. It was his ninth 20-point game of the season. He scored a season-high 26 points on Feb. 13 in a 78-75 road win over Evansville. In that three-point win at Evansville, Wright sank a 40-foot-game-winner at the buzzer. One of those 20-point performances came on the road against American Athletic Conference foe UAB on Dec. 22. Wright scored 20 points versus the Blazers on 11 shot attempts to go along with a pair of steals. Wright last year played six games against opponents who reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament. In those six games he averaged 15.1 points per game, including three 20-point performances. Drake went 4-2 in those games. The Hawthorne, California, native began his collegiate career at Cal State Northridge. He played three seasons for the Matadors and was a two-time Big West All-Conference honoree before transferring to Drake in 2023. In his final year at CSUN (2022-23), Wright averaged 16.7 points per game. On Feb. 15, 2023, he set the Matadors single-game scoring record as he dropped 42 points at UC Davis. Wright will join North Texas with 116 career games played, 1,530 career points scored, 198 career 3-pointers made and 174 career assists. A southern California native, Wright graduated from Fairmont Prep in Orange County. He averaged 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals per game as a high school senior. He led Fairmont to a league title his senior year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2AA California Southern Sectional playoff round. His junior year, he led Orange County in scoring with 25 points per game and was named Southern Section Class 4AA Player of the Year. North Texas is coming off a 19-win season under first-year head coach Ross Hodge where they reached the second round of the NIT. He was the only rookie head coach last year to lead his respective team to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. The Mean Green won 10 league games in their first season in the American Athletic Conference. It was the most league wins by a first year UNT head coach. UNT is one of just seven schools in the country who has won a NCAA postseason game in each of the last four seasons.

      Houston only had one player drafted this year. Big deal.
