Thanks to everyone who played, volunteered, donated and sponsored this year's GMG.Com Bowl X. It was an epic in that soon to be LT. EMMITT'S team won for the first time on a late TD catch and run by none other than Brian Futrell. Final score was 9-7 in a close one..looks like defense actually ruled the day.

While all silent auction and player fees are yet to be collected...no problem, they will be but it will take a day or two...or three or four...it appears that we were able to raise in excess of $4000.00 from the event this year! Great news I would think.

Hey, not oly did Emmitt's team win, but we had an announcer, Tony DeSousa, for the very first time! Nice job, Tony. And, Jordan Case flipped the coin to start the game this year. How great is that?

Also...a shout out to Emmitt for the great cookies! I hope everyone got to taste those things...all I can say is, the guy could sell them and make some decent bucks! Folks, all kidding aside...those things were greatness! State Fair prize winning capabilities for sure! Thanks for baking them and brining them...yummy!

Your participation is very much appreciated! You made a positive contribution to the Mean Green program and, hopefully, you had fun doing it....I did!

Hope to see everyone for GMG.Com Bowl XI next year!!!!

Influx of transfers have finally brought talent to UNT football

DENTON — Dan McCarney spent 18 years coaching in the Big Ten, another 14 years in the Big 12 and two more in the SEC.

He knows what big-time college football looks like.

For the first time in his three springs at North Texas, McCarney believes the Mean Green has the look of big-time football.

“This team is a lot more competitive,” McCarney said. “There are more guys who belong here — more players that look like Division I guys. It’s exciting when you see more guys that can play.

“Instead of fabricating depth and fabricating competition, which we had to do these past two years, there’s real depth, real competition, and it’s there every day. That’s exciting to me as a head coach.”

In the 2011 recruiting class, Rivals listed Brock Berglund as the 15 best dual-threat prep quarterback in the nation. Johnny Manziel was No. 14 on that list and Everett Golson No. 16. Last season, Manziel won the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M, and Golson quarterbacked Notre Dame to the national championship game.

Berglund signed with Kansas out of high school but transferred to North Texas a year ago and spent a redshirt season quarterbacking the Mean Green scout team. This spring he’s competing with two-time team captain Derek Thompson for the starting job.

In Reggie Pegram’s last college game, he scored two touchdowns in Purdue’s bowl victory over Western Michigan. That was in 2011. He transferred to North Texas in 2012 and gave the Mean Green fits on the scout team. This spring he’s competing for a starting position.

Darius Terrell also kept the North Texas defense busy on the scout team last fall. He was a Parade All-America wide receiver who signed with Texas out of high school. He spent two seasons in Austin, then transferred to North Texas in 2012. This spring, he’s competing for a starting position as well.
