“We sold right at 12,000 season tickets (last year), exceeding my expectations, which were pretty high,” Goodman explains. “Right now, we are 100 percent ahead of where we were at this point last year, sitting just north of 10,000 (season tickets sold).” UTSA hopes to sell 15,000 season tickets this year, and the bar will likely be raised even higher as the Roadrunners prepare to move up to Conference USA.

Don't forget that Mac has to recruit OL's for June Jones too since they are either too lazy or ineffective to do it themselves.

George Washington vs a Bengal Tiger....during a hurricane. Can't get more bad ass than that. Happy 236th USA!

GREAT 4th at the Trussell's. Middle sons birthday, going away party for Connor who has to report Thursday.

Damn rap generation

I've been meaning to post this for a while now. I had never watched softball until the National Title series between Oklahoma and Alabama. My in-laws who are big Oklahoma fans were in town, and wanted to watch the game (game 1). I didn't think I was going to enjoy it, but I did. They left the next day, and I ended up watching the other two games in the series. I think girls play softball completly different from they way guys play baseball, and I thought it was really fun to watch. Next season, I plan to attend some UNT softball games, and support our softball team more. I'd love to see our girls play for a National Title some day, and I think with enough support they can.

Looks like Deron Williams will be staying in NJ (well, Brooklyn). Just heard on ESPN radio that Dwight Howard has asked to be traded to the Nets. http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=8118159

Watching the 2003 highlight DVD. What I wouldn't give to read Awasom, Pruitt, Kennedy and Cardwell across the backs if our D-line this year.

I challenge any one to get thru the entirety of this J.P. Sousa march without a tear welling up or a lump in the throat. I've tried to twice unsuccessfully. GMG and.......................God Bless America!

Actually, San Diego State Aztecs were tied with another school for a ranking of #19 in that Top 20 poll. I think SDSU came into Fouts that day as a Big West Conference member but (as always) I stand to be corrected. I had to check with one of my main Mean Green resources for confirmation on the #19 part, though. Funny part was how the Aztecs "then" HFC Claude Gilbert after that game kicked the visiting team's water cooler off the wall destroying the cooler he was so mad. Our good friend Rick Spears told me "A.D." Fry had to send them a bill for the damage, too. (I never heard if they paid it or not, though). NTXCoog, it really seems to me that back in those era, you didn't seem to have to have a prior 50 year NCAA golden college football legacy or reputation to get ranked as it seems you do today. Our former conference-mate Boise State showed us all what it takes to get ranked and henceforth, we who are not in the Big 5 FBS conferences have to all aim high and follow their example. If you're reading this, NTXCoog, do you remember how high Duffy Daugherty's Michigan State team was ranked back on that 1967 Fall Game Day when UH shocked the nation with a slobber-knockin' of the Spartans? Our HS football team was on the way to a game in Schulenberg, Texas, against Sacred Heart HS but we were all listening to that UH game on our, uh, "transistor" radios. Our HFC was a UH alum and had no problem with us doing that, too. LOL! GMG!

If you haven't been, every American should try to make at least one visit to Washington D. C. in their lifetime. I was there at a church related national convention for teens in August of 1963; actually, one week before Martin Luther King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech. (I was 12 years old). President Kennedy had been scheduled to speak to our church group's national congress that week in August, but Jackie lost her newborn baby that week so the President was by her side and had to bow out of his speaking engagement. I remember being so darn disappointed that I didn't get to see and hear our President but understood why he needed to be by his wife's side. For certain don't go to Washington D.C as a Democrat or a Republican, either....go as an American. We are (after all) on the same Red, White and Blue team here.

I am so excited that UTSA is in our conference. I received my Bachelors at UTSA on the way to my PhD at UNT. Of course, I only cheer for the green. Why I am so excited is that I moved to Corpus last summer so I'll get to watch the Mean Green when we play in San Antonio! Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This mean green family is in DC this week for the 4th. I met a nice couple in the capital building who asked me about UNT and mentioned they both went there as well. I've seen several Texas rangers shirts as well. Happy 4th mean greeners!!

It is a sad day. But thanks to re-runs, we get to be with him (and his writers) indefinitely. His Andy Taylor character is a wonderful role model to aspire to........ both as a person and as a parent. In the reports/tributes that are written about him, they always mention when The Andy Griffith show started (1960). Here is a triva question. The Andy Griffith character actually first appeared on a popular sit-com of that era (mid-to-late 50's). Does anyone know what show that was?

Has added offers from : Air Force , Bucknell , Colorado St, Lehigh , North Texas , Santa Clara , TCU , Weber State

Great video. Are the planning on using CGI to place people in the stands? It would look kind of strange with no crowd.

If you are ever in Washington D.C. In May or June, try to attend "Evening Parade" at the Marine Barracks. The Marine Corp Band and the Marine Corp Drum and Bugle Corp put on a wonderful show. Evening Parade is held on Friday nights and free tickets are required. Call well in advance. John Phillip Sousa was the first co neutron of the Marine Corp Band and to hear The Stars and Stripes Forever live, where it was first performed is really inspiring. Talk about bring a tear to your eye.... Happy Birthday to the United States of America GO MEAN GREEN

great post! happy 4th everyone!

Very good point. How strong was the schedule back in 1974? How does it compare to our 2012 schedule, as far as stregth of schedule? I'd think it would be hard to compare.

---Other than "Big Bang", today's comedy shows aren't worth much (my opinion). Can't watch all those reality things...cheap to produce. Andy Griffith show was 100% clean and anyone in family could watch, those don't exist now. .

...or more accurately, "continues". http://espn.go.com/c...ver-orange-bowl How the rumor that the removal of AQ and the BCS will equal *more* opportunities for "the little guy" ever got off the ground is beyond me.

1975 .............3 ..................35,530 ........................ 11,843 For you guys that were there in 1975, was the above attendance for 3 Fouts games or inclusive of the 2 TX Stadium games and 2 Fouts games? Above says we averaged 11843 for Fouts-only games. That number is fairly consistent with what I have heard about Fouts attendance, even in the Fry years.

Maybe the plan is to get up by a couple of scores and then use that big O-line to maintain possession. Don't spend any more time on defense than you really need to. Oh, and use one of them as FB in short yardage situations.

Thanks. I'll do that.

I can't imagine Mac plans on adding too many more O linemen in this class. I wonder if all of these guys are for the offense, or if they are planning on moving any to defensive line?

Nice. Where did you get them? Are they still for sale?

Yes. I also have 2002 and 2005.

Today makes me wonder. What will make my daughter sad in the future? The death of a Survivor season?

I'm not going to pretend to know how any of this will play out, but I will say, when the big boys shake things up, it's always to make things more lucrative for themselves. Our job is to create a situation where including us is financially benificial to them. That's really the only way to break into their club.

The "star" system was created and now managed by a group of people who never stepped on a college football field and most on a high school field. One of the best QB's I have ever seen was rated 3 star...barely and NO ONE in Texas except UNT offered him. He is now at Michigan and will be the heir to Denard. Star system is for boosters to measure the success of the football team. Wins are the way the coaches measure the success of a football team.

He was an even better Sheriff. Did you see his staff? It's a wonder his county didn't burn down daily.

When will conservatives learn that appeasement only empowers liberals. Roberts is well on his way to being a bigger disappointment to conservatives than Kennedy.

"I have no idea about this Fall, but Fry's 2'nd year disaster (2 wins) keeps coming up in my mind for some reason and (ultimately) I hope that's all it is--a false premonition. I hope that Coach Mac avoids or overcomes what many NCAA coach's have happen in their 2'nd year". Plum eat lots more fiber- this too will pass!

Freaking awesome. I'm so happy for Tony! He deserves it. North Texas deserves to have this young man repping for the mean green nation....

That's alright, we've got Nelson, Siddons, Walker and Sorge. Welcome to all these young men. Now let's work on the DL Coach Mac.

A 4th year he should have never been given. But I digress...

Agree with Valley. This is a whole new ballgame for Texas A&M, and I have not been this interested in watching what transpires in College Station since my Sister was there in the 90's. People who think A&M will drop off the map are not thinking clearly. I know they hate losing the Texas game, but I am sorry having the Gators and Tigers of LSU drop into Kyle Field with their throngs of RV's, rabid fans and SEC tailgates is flat out exciting. The Texas TCU game is silly. I am glad that Thanksgiving now has sports options because I won't be tuning into this game. I don't like either team so no need to watch. Texas A&M has a lot of work to do to get ready for their new life. I know I am the minority here, but I am really excited to introduce the SEC to Texas football. Gig'em! GMG

That's not creepy at all.

This post is so funny yet so sad. 2 years later and experts still can't interpret this monstrosity

Literally. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jun/22/gay-activists-make-obscene-gesture-reagan-white-ho/

To be fair... One of the singularly dumbest things you have posted. Ever heard of prostrate cancer? Don't see the 50 year old white (see how liberals slip in the race card every chance they get, even when it has nothing to do with the argument at hand?) guy blaming that on Pres. Obama, do you? Just a little more prevelent than AIDS. And if Reagan was the problem, how can there be a healthy Magic Johnson? Shouldn't he be dead because of Reagan? Why don't you try disagreeing with one of these people (the ones at the white house) about gay marriage. You know, very respectfully telling them that, hey, whatever you want to do in your bedroom is your business, but my moral values do not allow me to agree with gay marriage. My guess would be that the response would be far worse than the response posted by TFLF. Now that's some tolerance for you.

Yep, just a little personal responsibility can avoid these types of situations

I voted in the primary and have voted in our local runoff...did not have my voter registration card with me either time...absolutely no problem in getting to vote...showed my driver's license and confirmed my current address...no brainer.

Whoa! Byrd sounds like he needs to sign up for some vocal classes. He has a great bass voice.

Felon Ex-congressman Is there really any difference?

You guys make a damned joke out of everything.

Goes to show that this was a good addition. I'm glad to be in the same conference of these games. Our first game at the Alamodome will be a blast. I hope be beat the snot out of them.

By 2020 there will be 16 playoff spots.

It's 1/8th as long as his usual posts...and yet I'm still so, so bored by it.
