(2) Head Football Coach Dan McCarney, a self-admitted disciple of former Mean Green HFC & College Football Hall of Famer Hayden Fry. Much was expected of Coach Mac his first year in Denton and his first Mean Green team almost became bowl elgible. The trend indicators and arrows all point north.
(3) Apogee Stadium: You (yes............"YOU") can be the reason we have to expand what former Dallas Cowboys Super Scout Gil Brandt called "a real Taj Mahal of a college football stadium" to 40,000 seats.

The Mean Green defense has improved by 16.5 points, the most in the nation
Tied with Cal State Northridge in leading the nation in best turnaround.
Also,
Godbolt needs 20 points this saturday to hit the 1,000 point mark to become only the 13th player to do so.
Way to go Mean Green!

Terry Catledge 83-84, 84-85
Chris Gatling 89-90, 90-91
Chico Fletcher 97-98, 98-99
I think there's a very strong chance TM wins the POY this year, sticks around for one more year with CJ and JW, and wins it again next year.
No one else has even won the Player of the Week award twice this year.

Only second player in conference history to win it 3 times in a row. Only player to win it multiple times all year.
If he had played in at least 75% of the games, he'd be leading the conference in scoring at 15.5, rebounding at 9.4, field goal percentage & 3 point field goal percentage.
His 3 point percentage is higher than anyone else's field goal percentage.
Special times at the Super Pit....
