Nice find and I agree.

One thing that is very refreshing about Bennett is he has the courage to take the blame when things go wrong. I like that about him.

With all the ads, banners and billboards, there's no doubt the word got out about SMU football. Too bad SMU types don't seem to care, as noted by superstar columnist Kevin Sherrington Officials projected a sell-out, which certainly seemed reasonable. The game came up 6,000 short. And if it hadn't been for Tech fans, the stadium would have been three-quarters empty. Maybe the rainy forecast kept them home. Maybe they were still at the lake. Maybe they're just not convinced. Now, as a North Texas alum, I'm not gonna go wagging my finger in Hilltop folks' faces about such matters as attendance and opening-game results. But I will make a guarantee: There will be more green than red and blue Saturday night at Ford Stadium. Mean Green fans are still fired up about the beginning of the Todd Dodge era. Seems like a bunch of SMU students, in particular, want to see and be seen boulevarding but can't be inonvenienced by actually entering the stadium. The outnumbered SMU folks in the stadium will still have us beat in net worth, but the fine folks from Southlake supporting Dodge will help Mean Greeners close that gap.

GMG!

GMG!

I like this move - this is a no win game in my opinion.

The Gomeangreen.com Barbershop may have some possibilities here...

Daniel Meager has been a good soldier in this program and deserves our support. He has worked very very hard for this opportunity. I wish him the best against the Sooners. GMG!

BUMP - This will be fun. SIGN UP bfore they are all gone!!

Ty Rexrode.

I doubt he'll ever be coming back to North Texas.

Cut him some slack - he hinted that he would be back and that is good news. You have to be fairly careful these days about disclosing information especially academics.

Obviously this is going to make football games more exciting. But in the end will it benefit the BCS schools that have such a continuous wealth of athletes on special teams?

Very nice Dub!

http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...07.c941f6d.html UNT O-linemen get new look at first practice 07:27 AM CDT on Tuesday, August 7, 2007 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer The complexion of North Texas' offensive line changed dramatically on Monday when the Mean Green reported for the opening of fall practice. DRC/Al Key New UNT head coach Todd Dodge throws passes to receivers during the first day of practice on Monday at the Mean Green Athletic Center. Senior Josh Alexander, a tackle who sat out all of last season with a knee injury, told head coach Todd Dodge on the eve of fall practice that he wouldn't be able to recover and was giving up the sport. UNT's coaches prepared for the potential loss of Alexander by signing Jacob Kaiser late in the summer. The former Greensburg (Penn.) Central Catholic standout made his debut with the Mean Green at the first practice of fall workouts. "Josh will not be able to play," Dodge said Monday. "He has done everything we have asked of him. We spoke last night and he said he wouldn't be able to do it." Just a few weeks ago, it appeared as if Alexander would come back from tearing the patellar tendon in his knee late in the 2005 season. Alexander tried to rehabilitate the knee injury before the 2006 season, but ended up needing surgery. Alexander spent the last year in rehabilitation and appeared as if he would make it back this fall before suffering a setback in offseason conditioning. UNT's coaches expected Alexander to try to recover in the early stages of fall practice, but the injury proved to be too much to overcome. Alexander is expected to have another round of surgery on his knee. "I am going to let him have two or three days off," Dodge said. "Then we will visit and see if we can find a way for him to stay involved with our program." Dodge said Alexander could end up working as a student assistant. The loss of Alexander will leave the Mean Green with a redshirt freshman at left tackle in Matt Menard and a sophomore at right tackle in Robert Peachey. The loss of Alexander could also open the door for Kaiser, who took an unusual path to UNT. Kaiser said he was being recruited by Tulane, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and East Carolina but ended up without a scholarship offer on signing day. "Unfortunately, I didn't get the offers I wanted," Kaiser said. "I guess you could say I got lost in the sauce. My high school coach, Muzzy Colosimo, and the junior college coach I signed with said they were shocked I didn't get an offer." UNT's coaches immediately jumped on the opportunity to sign a player who fit what appears to be one of the Mean Green's biggest needs. UNT lost both of its starting tackles after last season. "We were looking for an offensive lineman and he just fell right into our laps," Dodge said. "They sent some video from Western Pennsylvania. We loved it and decided to bring him in. To get a guy who is 6-7, 292 — which is what he weighed in at — is something we are really pleased about." Kaiser worked out at tackle with what could be just about an entirely new lineup on the first day of practice. Chad Rose and Adam Venegas are the only returning starters on the offensive line. Rose played center last season, a spot that is now occupied by sophomore Kelvin Drake. Kaiser is hoping to make an immediate impact in that new lineup. "I liked coach Dodge's philosophy that a team is like a family and that he is known for winning," Kaiser said. "I am really upset that other schools overlooked me, but that is just going to add fuel to my fire." Kaiser's former coaches believe he could be an impact player for the Mean Green. "Jacob has such a big upside," Colosimo said. "He is big, moves well and he works hard. … Everyone looked at him and said he needs another year and with the limited number of scholarships, they needed guys who could play right now. We thought if he could get into school, he would do well." BRETT VITO can be reached at 940-566-6870. His e-mail address is bvito@dentonrc.com .

The bottomline is we need a hard hitting safety that can run. Jonas Buckles where are you?

Nice catch Grand - anyway I am with Cooley no big loss on McCoy IF and that's a big IF - we can land a big body to replace him. With Wooden and Quincy graduating after this year we badly need some size. I know it isn't easy but we need to land someone who can help us next year in that regard. Let's also hope the kid from Louisiana is as advertised.
