Great news!!

Great post! Thank you for the breath of fresh air. GMG!

Agreed want them to make some dough but the more important thing is that you pass it on to other alumni and fans and lettermen and Denton area residents etc. What we need to do is personalize this thing. Its not just a bunch of guys getting a scholarship to play a game for 4 years. These are OUR guys and their stories make them unique to US. The more we can get these types of personal pictures out to the fence sitters the better. Winning drives everything, but until you win and win consistently you have to build a compelling story. Also, our biggest strength is in our numbers of graduates and social media. We need to interest and engage that audience through these types of great videos. GMG!

True but we have a pretty good idea as to why it happened. The guy lost a big chunk of his staff after leading a 1-win team to a bowl. You can spin that all day with the tired old G5 argument "well that means we're hiring great coaches" but it isn't good to have that happen so early in the regime. That type of key turnover so early on is concerning and can affect recruiting and many other things in terms of the building of the team itself. It probably made Litty feel like he was on an island. Secondly, we know that some power schools with big budgets could have been sniffing around. There are some OC's making >$1 Mill out there. Thirdly, Wren didn't hire Seth -- and while they may be the best of friends now, if I am Seth's agent I want financial assurances that I will be made whole if things go south which unfortunately has been our track record. What if Smatty gets a bigger gig? What if the new chancellor is related to Al Hurley? What if the job of a lifetime opens up. There are a lot of variables that have to be considered here. Here are some pieces from the @Brett Vito article:

Mean Green Productions introduces a mini-series featuring the personal stories and backgrounds of some Mean Green football players prior to their arrival in Denton. “Born and Bred” will take you to their hometowns to meet their families, coaches and communities that helped create their passion for football and set them on a path for success. Today, the series takes you to Elkhart, Texas to visit Jeffery Wilson's hometown and explore his journey. MeanGreenSports - http://mgrn.us/2vIIqIP YouTube - https://youtu.be/ZlnGj6n66zk

Not to be Debbie Downer, but it is tougher for a big guy to bounce right back after being out of conditioning etc for that period of time. I hope and pray that he will get back to himself quickly. If anyone can pull it off it would be Bryce.

Interesting side note, to my understanding there were exactly 17 donor suites (out of 21 total) in Apogee stadium.

What can he do. This leader in NK is pushing the limits unlike ever seen before. And sanctions never seem to work. I was thinking the other night, I wish there was some type of bunker or way to evacuate out of South Korea because that is the main leverage NK has over us. A lot of innocent people in South Korea would lose their life over this which is a damn shame. I also feel bad for the people of NK as they are just pawns in this deal.

Head coach Frank Wilson said the injury occurred during Saturday’s workouts. “He jumped and just hyper-extended his knee,” Wilson said following Tuesday’s practice at the school. “He will be out for the season.”

It's that time of year. It's neat when these are given out every year and I know that this years recipients will be worthy.

The top two mentions are Darden and White. "In the first week, freshmen wide receivers Jaelon Darden (Houston) and Greg White (Riverdale, Georgia) have been impressive at times, participating in their first camp. On Monday, the two were back to making plays. • White, a 6-foot-3 outside receiver, made a couple deep downfield catches Monday, each time going up to high-point the ball to secure the catch. • Darden, a 5-foot-9 slot receiver, was targeted heavily on the day, and hauled in a couple of touchdown catches during red zone drills."

Yeah I caught that as well. He has two guys in his mind right now with Fine being the main guy. Just gotta hope Fine can stay healthy.

Here's an article from what I believe would have been his freshman year at Navarro. Best I can tell, he may have signed with Angelo State initially (in 2014) and redshirted and then made the transfer switch into Navarro in 2015-16. This article is from 2015 at Navarro: http://www.navarrocollege.edu/athletics/2015/10/11/isadore-bulldogs-pull-neo-miracle-win-at-homecoming-46-41/ Navarro is a competitive juco program and in a tough league. For him to have this level of success in his first year there is pretty impressive. If he indeed redshirted, I would suppose he has two years to play two here at UNT unless he got a medical waiver.

Agreed - this is a very good deal. I comment the AD for putting this program together. Smart move.

Dude we are the same person! I've been saying the same thing on here only to be called chicken little!

Urban Meyer does a program where freshman wear a black strip on their helmet. It is removed once they prove themselves worthy on the field. Obviously they can share some of these moments with the fans on social media which is neat. im not saying we copy the exact program but it would be nice to incorporate something similar. Seems like it would be a good motivator. Thoughts?

I didn't but I wanted too. I couldn't stay for the entire scrimmage and there is a lot to soak in at one time. If anyone else did would be interested to hear about him and anyone else.

Could have sold those pitchforks at a good price at the Portland State game a couple years ago. Just sayin.

Marshall (Texas) 2018 three-star offensive lineman Kameron King committed Saturday evening to North Texas. King told Scout why he chose the Mean Green. "I loved the atmosphere of the school the day I was there," King said. "They made me feel at home. But the main factor is how hard they coached off the bat. "I visited the school a little while back. It was an exciting feeling. Players were telling me about the experience there and it just made me feel like this is the place for me The 6-foot-2, 275-pound King picked North Texas over the other four programs that made his top five: Memphis, Southern Miss, Tulane, and ULM. read more: http://scout.com/college/football/recruiting/Article/3-Star-Lineman-Kameron-King-Talks-Decision-to-Commit-to-North-Te-105826760
