You must have a really small penis.

I believe Bill Snyder's Kansas State Wildcats were ranked in the Top 10 when the Mean Green played them in this game last September. A game that was quite close for much of the game with North Texas even making a 4'th quarter bid to pull it out. Many TCU fans all over their tail-gate areas at Amon Carter Stadium were watching this game in a bit of disbelief as reported on this forum were pulling for the Mean Green to pull off the upset against their new Big 12 foe...the KSU Wildcats. (Thanks for the support to our neighbors in Cowtown). Can Mean Green QB Derek Thompson put it all together his senior year like he had it together for the Kansas State game? Most of the key North Texas RB's all returning this Fall, too, along with Purdue transfer RB, ie, Reggie Pegram. Can this team with all the positive new additions put it together like they did during the SBC first year of football operations when the Mean Green went bowling that year? There really are some things to get excited about in this YouTube video about who we have coming back this Fall. Enjoy...

"A Tradition of Sacrifice, From Yorktown to Ramadi" It was not the Declaration of Independence that gave us freedom but the Continental Army. By Navy Seal Leif Babin http://m.us.wsj.com/articles/a/SB10001424127887323475304578503110141945172?mg=reno64-wsj "In 2006, my SEAL Task Unit deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. Among the rubble-pile buildings, bomb craters and burned-out hulks of vehicles, we experienced firsthand the harsh realities of war. We fought alongside the U.S. Army's Ready First Brigade of the First Armored Division to take Ramadi back from a brutal and determined insurgency. Combat is hard. It is alarmingly violent, ear-shattering, dirty, exhausting and ugly. It is marked by chaos and confusion and self-doubt. But combat also highlights the determination and sacrificeand courageof those who persevere. Through such times, an unbreakable bond is formed with brothers-in-arms......" Rick

Thompson really looked good in this game.

If you spend over 3,000 American lives to destroy weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, only to find there were no weapons of mass destruction — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If you allow loaded handguns to be carried in our college classrooms by folks with 10 hours of CHL training — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If you keep pumping oil, gas, & coal out of the ground when you know that it will only add to the C contributing to climate change — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. If you build a fence to keep out the guy who builds your houses, cooks your food, & picks your oranges — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

Still waiting......

You know they shoot the scenes in long takes from many different angles right? It's not that they don't ever play the whole scene out in long takes on set....it's just usually edited to get reaction shots and the like.

As long as they are also listed as passing Cougar High

Could be worse. The pick was originally Lakers. That would SUCK if he went there.

I had three teammates from Richardson High School play in this game. QB you see is Greg Langeloh from RHS who would have given Steve Ramsey( later to be a frat brother of ours) a run for his money had Greg not been severely injured in a boating accident at Lake Lewisville. Unnoticed in this version is that NTSU sent less than 30 players while TT suited up in excess of 100. This team also beat Arkansas Frosh that same year and was the basis for '66-69 teams that may have been the best teams ever @NT. Pro draftees included Joe Greene, Cedric Hardeman, Ron Shanklin, Willie Parker, Steve Ramsey, Chuck Beatty, and others.

Call me crazy, but UNT Head Football Coach Dan McCarney's 3'rd Mean Green football team is going to a bowl this December. GMG! PS: We will be just fine at QB this Fall....mark that in 3 inch headlines.

--- I am not sure I would call the Pilgrims geniuses... That landed on the Mass. coast in December ( not warm a weather month) ... out of water, food and unable to grow any. Obviously no housing and weather was terrible to even build any. The only reason they survived is that there was an Indian that could speak English due to knowing previous Cod fishermen and he helped them find food to eat.... Most of the colony died before the next year.. --- As for Freedom of religion, they did want to believe as they wanted but the Puritans did not celebrate Christmas or Easter and before long were hanging people as witches and heretics if they believed differently. So much for freedom of religion... --- Jamestown had been founded about 15 years earlier and the recent findings don't picture them very well either... early settlers were tough but often fleeing a bad situation... I would not classify these as geniuses... Now the people that declared our independence and later set up the constitution in 1789 may have been.... but conservative they weren't.... Tories were the conservatives ... those conservatives liked things as they had been and did not want any change... The people who composed the Constitution were very Progressive and established a type of government that had not existed until then. ..

Amazing what you can find when you surf the YouTube net. I wish we could find something like this of Ronnie Shanklin catching that "called back" touchdown pass against the Arkansas Razorbacks in 1968. Someone may want to tell Mean Joe about this thread featuring film footage of the North Texas freshmen football team versus Texas Tech's frosh team with this footage being a bit over 5 minutes in length. While on the freshmen team at North Texas, Mean Joe wore #72 which (of course) later became #75 when he joined the varsity and then #75 with his Hall of Fame career with the Steelers. So here are excerpts of the 1965 North Texas "Eagles" versus the Texas Tech Picadors (which was the name of their freshmen team) with comments by Texas Tech's Trooper Keeton Huff, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that you know many of the players on both sides of the line. Enjoy...and by the way, check out the final score on the Tech scoreboard toward the end of the video.

Cougar High? Really? For the 2012 entering class, the National Center for Education Statistics gives Top 25% and Top 75% SAT scores for college entering classes: UH English 490-600 Math 530-640 UNT English 480-600 Math 500-610 (not surprised, UNT is an arts school) Dividing those ranges by 2 and adding both together to get the average SAT: UH = 1133 UNT=1095 SAT averages for other large schools in Texas: Texas Tech= 1105 UT-Arlington = 1070 Texas St = 1045 UTSA = 1035 SAT averages for other Big 12 state schools: Iowa St = 1145 Oklahoma St = 1105 West Virginia = 1055 Kansas St = no data, but accepts 99% of applicants On another note, our applications for admission have skyrocketed since Khator came in January 2008. Applications grew by at least 13% for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 entering class. At the same time, our acceptance rate has plummeted from 79% in 2008 to 56% in 2012 So if we're a high school and your standards and admissions rates are higher than ours, then you must be a middle school. Nothing against UNT considering I used to go there and still am friends with current UNT students who I go visit in Denton from time to time, but I slap a lot of folks around here with facts because GMG is the cesspool of the UNT fanbase. Other than Harry, All About UNT and a handful of others (including Meangreener sometimes) that I actualy respect. The rest of you are the biggest group of losers I have ever seen in ANY college football fandom. If you are from another school and have a differeing opion, you're a troll. If you don't pump sunshine and you're a UNT fan, you're a troll. If you don't believe McCarney is the second coming of Christ, youre a troll. If you're skeptical of BB being a Johnny Football clone, you're a troll. If you call out the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of GMG, you're a troll. If you own a GMG poster, they post a meme or makes penis jokes. ^^GMG in a nutshell Everybody remembers my debut post here (which became an article) and how a few GMG posters initiated everything. It was at that moment, I made my face heel turn complete. (Look at the beginning of my post history if you want).

Kinda flattering that fans from other Texas universities come over here so often to troll.

Who would from all of us who came to UNT as students after this group ever be kidding about any kind of debate concerning "the greatest team in North Texas history?" With all the NFL draft choices that came from the Mean Joe Greene era in Denton they would without a doubt be the all time best team we ever fielded. Few (if any) of the present g05 schools ever produced so many #1 NFL draft choices along with all the others as North Texas did in the mid-to-late 60's. I was lucky enough to see that North Texas Mean Green football team as a high school kid down in the greater Houston area on the ABC-TV regional Game of the Week and that was when we last beat Tulsa U. And for all those SBC and CUSA newbies's who only recently played at a different NCAA level along with all the new upstarts, being televised in that game mean't North Texas was playing at the highest level of NCAA football as far back as the 60's, too. If only we would have kept hiring UNT leadership who would have sustained all this at such a high level of NCAA competition we would not be a Go5 school today. We can no longer afford to take 1 giant step forward and 3 backward at UNT in today's NCAA and that's for darn sure. GMG!

Thanks for posting and the team did indeed look sharp. I enjoyed listening the the KSU feed for some of the game and recall they were really complimentary of us. None of that "we looked past them" nonsense. Here's hoping for a winning season and bowl invite! PS. I know I'm in the minority here but our uniforms look great. Simple and to the point.

DT looked solid. He is so composed, and such a warrior. But I haven't seen a lot of variety on his touch, and he was still staring down his target. We need weapons, and DT is not one. Jimmerson and Chancellor are. That is what BB was supposed to be. If Berglund ever recovers his game, he provides a second weapon on the field at a critical position at all times. The thought of a defense having to worry about a mobile QB makes me drool at the numbers JimJim or Chancellor could get with that much more field room to work with. What I take from this game is a great argument that we could be okay with DT if we have all of our other parts playing at an exceptional level. I'm inclined to agree with Harry regarding Brelan.

Please Chicago or Brooklyn.

There seem to be several interesting fits for TMitch in the 19-25 range where he's currently being projected. 19 - CLE - Young team with a hole at SF. I think he's a better PF, but he may have the athleticism to make the transition. 20 - CHI - I'd love to see him here on a team with such a defensive-minded coach. If they move Boozer (unlikely) or even Taj Gibson since they're wanting to dump salary, it could open playing time on a good squad. 22 - BKN - If they're able to move Kris Humphries, he'd find an immediate role there. He might also grab some SF mins as Gerald Wallace was brutal this year 23 - IND - If D. West leaves via free agency, there could be time at SF on a team set up well for the future. Imagine the rim protection with a Hibbert/Mitchell combo on the front line! Hibbert's size might allow a team to feel more confident playing an undersized (by height) PF like Mitchell. 24 - NYK - Might be a tough fit but I could see Mitchell playing the SF position on offense (he'd need to improve his shooting) and match up on PFs defensively to take that burden off Melo. The best thing about his being projected in this range (including ATL's picks earlier) is that it would keep him out of the West and any real rivalry with the Mavs.

The success of Texas depends on all children being able to contribute - not just yours. Every child that is not educated is your problem and mine. Throwing money at education isn't the solution. BUT, adequate funding is a necessary component in that solution. We need to train good teachers. We need to pay good teachers good salaries. We need to provide safe facilities. We need to provide excellent textbooks. All of this costs money. We need to quit whining about paying our fair share of the cost of the most important thing our government does - educate our children.

I think the answer here is pretty clear. Change the lyrics to "Fly Like A Mother F'n Eagle." Problem solved.

All this anger and yet these two no talent ass clowns are obsessed with UNT and this website. Can't say I have thought even for a moment to read about their schools.

chad Davis biggest impact but syd moore will play the most just because lack of depth at DT and he is a BALLER Just hope he can get the grades!!! any word on that??

Miles probably ends up at Arkansas , Colorado St or UAB

you think WV would let him transfer within the conference? I don't know much about the situation, but I would be surprised if WV would let him go there.

Jimmy Stewart had very underrated range? He is much different in something like Vertigo (he's a true anti-hero there) than he was in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (the more stereotypical Stewart good guy role). He had a persona where people always assumed he'd be good, but he's fairly amoral in quite a few films.

I think the student section does a fine job of the "Go green! Go white!" part, but maybe that's just me.

2012 CUSA was pretty bad. Southern Miss tanking + OOC records + defections really hurt the conference. 2013 CUSA will be a lot better (and it doesn't hinge on UNT). CUSA has never had a "breakout team." No Boise, Utah, Hawaii, Marshall, Fresno. CUSA's best team was Tommy Bowden's Tulane team that was snubbed by the BCS, followed by Sumlin's Houston team that choked against S Miss in the conference finals. What CUSA really needs is a break out team, but that's not in the cards for 2013. Maybe LA Tech can do it, but I just don't see it without a bowl last year. Instead the new CUSA will get a year to gel before adding its next teir of members.

So, you think he might try to choke Benford?

I love it. Not a UNT game for me until I hear it.

And you're a really, really pathetic, lonely 50 year old troll.

The scenes is older films were rather long and actors had to memorizes long passages... now each scene is broken up into a few seconds... explains a big difference in quality. Even conversions jump back and forth now and they did not so much then. Hard to compare across the ages...Editing is a bit deal today..

Republicans in congress won't do anything that President Obama supports such as fixing infrastructure; which would also put folks back to work. Instead, they continue to do nothing but manufacture lies about the president. Oklahoma republicans want relief for tornadoes in their state but voted against relief for Hurricane Sandy because it was in a blue state. Outragious!

Then you must have never been outside of Denton, the most unfriendly town hosting two major colleges that even make it a town in the first place. Easily the most backward of all DFW metroplex cities!

Hard to believe that later in the season KState was being talked about for the National Championship game. UNT was in their game against them for about 3.5 quarters. Not sure if that is a testament of how good UNT was or how mediocre KState was.

CUiSA 4th behind the MAC.

I have to disagree. I would put MWC over AAC and C-USA third.

Love those local ties

I am not sure I would call the Pilgrims the founders of the country.

God I hate SMU.

--- I am sure Perry had a lot to do with all this oil activity out here in West Texas and our 2.8% unemployment (only people here without a job are people who can't pass drug or background checks )... If it wasn't for Perry they would be drilling in Maine or Oregon? His presence has zero to do with the Texas economy... I am sure the Houston Texans would not have made the playoffs the past two years either if he had not been Gov... [ get real ]

If DT can throw the ball like he did in this game all year, especially the pass at 4:45, then we should be fine. These are some big "ifs" but I have faith.

Ohh a piece of candy. Ohh a piece of candy. Ohh a piece of candy...

Well... We're waiting!

Tony Benford gets my vote.

Mark, Jesse and I are going to meet this week to discuss putting this game together. More details to follow. GMG
