Damn proud of these girls!!

Mac missed on some for sure but so did Benford. Fuller has not helped much and we could use an extra big guy.

Believe it or not — it has gotten a lot better. But as Coach Dickey used to say, “we still have a very long way to go.”

Nice find mate!

Not feeling good but still lots of time.

Way to go Jalie!

DENTON — Looking at the proverbial glass as half-full, the 2017 season was overwhelmingly positive for North Texas. In year two under head coach Seth Littrell, the Mean Green played for their first conference title in Conference USA and went to a second consecutive bowl game. UNT, which finished 9-5, also had a chance for only the second 10-win season in school history. However, looking at the flipside, the Mean Green finished the season 0-2 with blowout losses at Florida Atlantic in the C-USA Championship Game (41-17) and to Troy in the New Orleans Bowl (50-30). And even several months later, the sting from those losses remains painful for Whitehouse product Nate Brooks, now a senior defensive back, and his teammates. “Of course, we ended the year 0-2, didn’t accomplish our mission, so that’s still driving us today in our workouts and these practices. Just losing those two games and not accomplishing what we wanted to accomplish (still hurts),” Brooks said. read more: https://tylerpaper.com/sports/college/after-disappointing-end-to-nate-brooks-and-unt-look-to/article_73ab5a6c-210a-11e8-ab4f-b3ce3de79d8d.html

Love his physical play.

That’s good for you but my online game experience recently has been pretty horrid. The best experience I have had was that stadium stream on Facebook for the La Tech game.

Great player! So glad we have him!

No one has jumped from North Texas to a power conference head coaching gig in nearly 40 years. With another strong year or two, Littrell will probably end that streak. You can win in Denton, but you probably won’t win for long there. When Darrell Dickey took over in 1998, it took him five years to produce a genuinely good team. He went to four straight New Orleans Bowls — the modern model for sustained success in Denton — but had already begun to slide. In his last two seasons, he went 5-18. After Dickey’s replacement, Texas high school legend Todd Dodge, crashed and burned (UNT went 8-40 in his four seasons), it was up to Dan McCarney to pick up the pieces. It took him only three years to surge to 9-4, but he couldn’t maintain the success, and in his last two seasons, UNT went 5-19. McCarney’s coaching career was basically over when he left Denton. Dodge was back in the high school ranks within a year or so of his departure. Dickey spent the last decade as a mid-major offensive coordinator or co-coordinator, which is what he was before UNT as well. You have to go back nearly four decades to find a time when someone went from North Texas head coach to something bigger. Jerry Moore went just 11-11 in 1979-80 but, combined with his success as a Tom Osborne assistant at Nebraska, managed to land the Texas Tech job in 1981. (He didn’t fare well there but, starting in 1989, became a coaching legend at Appalachian State.) Hayden Fry played things perfectly. Fired after a 7-4 season at SMU, Fry rehabilitated in Denton. He won 33 games from 1975-78 and got UNT to as high as 16th in the coaches’ poll during a brilliant 1977. He parlayed this into two decades as Iowa head coach. That Littrell took this job, then, was a bit of a risk. The draw is easy to describe — you’re barely 30 miles from Dallas (where hundreds of potential FBS prospects live), Apogee Stadium is nice and rather new, Denton has an In-N-Out Burger* — but evidence of success has been hard to come by. read more: https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/3/5/17068268/north-texas-football-2018-preview-schedule-roster

Yes I think he is a better guard but I think his height combined with Fines makes that harder. I will leave it to the coaches on here to confirm that. Want to be very careful here to state that Jordan will be close to a 4 year starter for us which is rare and should be respected.

I love Jordan and I think he has worked hard and been a good soldier for UNT. But dammit - he got beaten a lot last season at tackle and I just don’t think he has the feet to consistently defend against the better pass rushers in the conference. I hope he will continue to work and improve but we need a plan B.
