We're goin' to party likes it's 1999! A video I helped produce and edit back in the day.

I just got home from the East Texas UNT football camp at Chapel Hill. There was one QB that stood out above the rest - about 6'1" - 6'3" or so; hard to tell from the stands. Not stocky but had meat on his bones and a helluva arm. His passes were accurate; could go deep with ease; and the ball has some mustard on it, especially on the out patterns - he was clearly the best out there, and Canales was very interested in him. He hung on to him after the camp was over and spent quite a bit of time talking to him; and then making sure that McCarney met him and offered encouraging words. I think this guy "went on their list" along with the many other QBs they have pegged on their list from around the state. As for the rest of the crowd of players (50 - 52 in my last count) the coaches were interested in the Tyler Lee kicker/punter - plays on the soccer team (according to t-shirt) and punts and kicks. He was kicking field goals from 55 yards out with plenty of room to spare - high elevation by what would have been the line of scrimmage (hard to block, and God knows UNT has had its share of problems with blocked punts over the past 5 – 6 years); his punts were high with good hang time (4 - 5 seconds my guess) - averaged punts of about 45 yards. There were a few receivers and DB's with OUTSTANDING speed – in fact blow-away speed and quickness. A couple of the DB’s had great coverage in seven-on-seven, and three or four receivers combined speed/quickness with very good ball-catching ability. Given what little I profess to know, I would have on the spot offered 3 - 4 of the guys attending the camp - don't know, of course, what McCarney will do. McCarney is a master in so many areas. He was greeting not only the high school coaches in attendance, he was also greeting and hugging the “water crew” while remembering their efforts from last year; he also remembered the CH trainer from last year’s camp at CH and spent time visiting with her. After play was over McCarney gathered the participants around him and emphasized the players being coachable for their high school coaches; he emphasized character; he told them that he had enough problems without having problem players……so he would not recruit such players, and that few other university coaches would either. He spelled out in precise terms what he expects from his players – representing their families, high schools, and UNT well in everything they do. He told them that missing class was not an option and he mentioned the high GPAs that some of the current players have earned. One other difference from last year – temp was in the 80s instead of the 100+ of last year. GMG

Dave Bliss approves of this idea

I think people should consider Mac's comments about staffing made in the article posted by Harry.

Nice, maybe. But not a responsibility, unless their are MGC privileges I am not aware of.

It was on 21, so most of DFW probably missed it.

Please provide me with a CREDIBLE book or publication that documents how Pres. Bush lied about the Iraq intelligence.

An extreme comparison, no doubt, and a comparison made to illustrate a point. Isn't it interesting that liberals are supposedly tolerant, yet they are only tolerant of those who share their beliefs? While I will disagree heartily with Pres Obama on the issues, you won't see me calling him a liar or attacking his character or family. I simply don't agree with his ideas. Go back and look at the political threads. 9 times put of 10, when it turns personal, it is a liberal turning it that way. I get that liberals operate more on emotion (everyone deserves health care!! How do you pay for it?? That doesn't matter, it makes me feel better when everyone has health care) than conservatives. I just wish they would stop personalizing things.

We are going to be the new Boise

Does anyone know where he landed or even if he has landed somewhere yet? He's a Denton kid at an area of need. Former UT guy who I'm sure Darius Terrell could put some words in with.

http://csnbbs.com/showthread.php?tid=573917 I think he is just trying to upset people, but people are believing him. I guess some people just like to do that sort of thing.

I thought that was what gun ranges were for. Go practice firing your weapon be it a rifle or hand gun. Not sure where you are going with this Rudy. Are you annoyed that people brag about guns or that there are people who don't want anyone to have guns? I personally do not own a gun. I am not one to rant against anyone having a gun mostly because I believe in the US Constitution and do not have a problem with anyone owning a gun legally.

Might be talented enough, but he could be a host of off-the-field issues. Let our coaches decide that, though.

Unless the rules have changed, coaches can't talk about recruits by until after they have signed an LOI.

They don't need to. The Big East turned down a new deal that would have continued to pay them AQ type money. Instead they are looking at getting a contract closer to what those of C-USA and the MWC are valued at. I hope this causes the BE to break up with USF, UCF, SMU, Houston, and Memphis going to C-USA, Rutgers, Cincy, Temple and UConn going to the MAC, BSU and SDSU going to the MWC, and Louisville going to the Big 12, though I'd much prefer them coming back to C-USA but that isn't realistic.

i believe this is the first year for the DMAC / UNT Texas tour.

Is this the first year we ever did this big of a tour?

You are correct sir.

Why do I care what this dudes cousin had to say about our stadium?

Well, not just "Baby", but "Oh, Baby", as in "Oh Baby, it's really small..."

Magellan and his whiskey tango wife that begins sentences with "baby" were probably looking at Sanger High School after they missed the turn to Wal-Mart to get her wedding dress after the Dollar General let them down. Why would anyone listen to a douche who takes football advice from his old lady who I must repeat starts sentences with "baby" and furthermore is pathetic enough to post it? I can only assume he throws mean jazz hands.

If she were a good wife, she would say that Apogee seats about 60K!

Many on the left, especially the far left would like to, but they know that it would be political suicide as many democrat voters are also firearms enthusiasts. They do the next best thing in their playbook, they enact legislation that is so tiresome and tideous, that many would simply rather not own a firearm rather than go through the loopholes, much like hunting. A prime example is CT limiting the number of rounds that even cops may carry in their patrol rifles.

Love that new season smell. Better than new car smell and much better than new baby smell.

we should start quoting that UNT is capable of housing 60000 fans on gameday!

Mesquite in the morning and then Chapel Hill in the evening. Then the road show moves to Houston and San Antonio. This is a GREAT way for some of these kids in Houston, San Antonio to see and hear Coach Mac.

That USM poster needs a new wife.

If playing good football were a primary consideration, UNT, UTSA, and Charlotte would not be C-USA bound. ULL and ASU are clearly the class of the Belt at this point. Edge to ULL in 2012.

Nevada 1990s isn't Nevada 2012, coming off a 7th consecutive bowl trip. And, "hosting" at Texas Stadium? Kudos to Texas State's athletic department. I'd love to have Tech and Nevada at Apogee. Nevada would be an excellent gauge of where we are. Tech, of course, would mean a sell out, with the possibility of television.

Funny enough, this is a true statement.

Any outside "issues" with this guy? Something seems a tad "strange" here to me....

The unintentional humor here is pure gold.

1. Nah, I just crack stupid jokes. 2. The people you've disagreed with haven't been hot and bothered enough to continue arguing the matter. You have. There have been 301 posts on this board concerning the Treyvon Martin case... 95 are yours. 3. It bothers me that you say so much on the matter without saying anything at all.

It seems you still haven't grasped the idea behind internet message boards. They're for opinions. Have you seen the movie Idiocracy?

Time will tell but for the money right now I am not excited, any coach could have won 3 games against teams a combined 3-21 and then get blown out of the water by every other team, with the same players.

wish we could have him but no-brainer for a kid to get out of town and play for a coach with true skins on the wall (1 NC and 3 Big East Titles)
