Like his nasty factor. Guy would be an OU recruit if he was a couple inches taller.

I think it looks very nice @MrStrange18 good choice!

My understanding is we got pretty burned last year with two of our top juco recruits not ending up qualifying and they are very hesitant to let that happen again. Personally I think you have to take some calculated risks to land the big fish but I also can appreciate their concern after what happened last year.

Fayetteville is an awesome college town. There is a scenic drive there that's amazing and Dickson street has some good bars. Definitely a UNT trip worth taking especially with them being a tad down (but still SEC talent).

Ok, so the curb stomped comment was a little hurtful albeit accurate. Otherwise good art.

If we were Texas this wouldn’t have happened. Very frustrating. Not fair to the young man and his family.

I have seen it from time to time.

I think the point that needs to be made here is that FAU and FIU are starting to be the programs that C-USA projected them to be. I know many questioned when these programs were added as being deserving. Now they appear to be powerhouses not just in C-USA but in G5. It is a good thing for the conference. Also our bowl performance as a whole has been on the upswing.

Great job Ashton!

Damn Tech on Fire!

We’re just not there yet but A for effort.

Love the heart of this team!

I noticed that as well.

http://www.meangreensports.com/signingday/ Dec. 20, 2017 DENTON – North Texas head football coach Seth Littrell announced the first group of the 2018 Mean Green signing class Wednesday, in conjunction with the newly-instituted early signing period. The class thus far, is comprised of 14 student-athletes from four states and features 11 high school signees and three junior college transfers. “As we raise the level of expectation around this program, we have to continue to bring in players that can help us accomplish our goals,” Littrell said. “Competing for championships and playing in bowl games is now the standard for Mean Green football, and these young men that we signed today will help us do that for the foreseeable future.” North Texas will announce the remainder of the 2018 signing class on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2018. For a full list of the 14 Mean Green signees, as well as bios and videos, head to Mean Green Signing Day Central.

Wow

Impressive pickup for Butch. East is getting stronger and the Florida schools in particular.

@Rudy had a good vantage of this play. I will let him respond in detail but it was clearly a shoulder. There were some damn bad calls in the game but this was not one.

I know this question beats people down but anyone heard anything on the Russian and will he become eligible this season at 2nd semester?

He’s a difference maker and one of the best we have had. Problem is we need 4-5 more like him.

In hindsight it wasn’t probably not the best bowl from a timing standpoint and certainly not the best matchup for us. However, from a player/fan perspective it is still such a damn fun town to visit. And it’s nice for it to be over a weekend so you don’t have to miss much work. Had an amazing dinner at ACME after the game today and it brought me spirits up from the post game loss blues. It reminded me of what a great and unique town this truly is. PS I tried the chargrilled oysters tonight and they were amazing.

Well stated.

I feel like our situation is eerily comparable to the Houston Oilers back in the "Luv you" Blue days. They would get better every year but they still had to play Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game. Yes it would be great to win the conference and get in the top 25 and those are good goals to have. But guess what, in C-USA you still have to beat Kiffin and FAU to do that my friend. And so far he is still there. Can we make that type of jump on one year? I think we can but we are going to have to kill it in recruiting and I don't mean high school guys you have to hit big on jucos as well. We also have to figure out why our preseason top ranked defensive secondary went down the commode. What the hell happened and how can we fix that? As painful as the FAU games and this Troy game were, we need to remind ourselves at how good they were against us and what we can do to get where they are. At this point in time, they are further along the path we need to take to reach our goals.
