Vizza was a tremendous talent and he was a natural born field general. Dodge's complete and utter mismanagement of Vizza was one of the saddest chapters in my UNT fan experience. I like Fine's leadership qualities and think he has a bright future here if he can stay healthy.

I get your point but I am not sure that during the season would be the best time for construction. A big color sign that says "future home of Mean Green IPF" would be neat though.

Agreed. He is special.

The $18 million lost in 2015-16 by the University of Texas at El Paso's Athletic Department doesn't tell the complete story, Athletic director Bob Stull said. The UTEP Athletic Department spent more than twice as much that season ($32.5 million) than it made ($14.5 million), according data analyzed by the Texas Tribune. But Stull, not surprisingly, has a different take. "If we were losing $18 million we wouldn't be in business," he said. "That's not the way an athletic department works." What the report — which looks at all eight public schools in Texas that play in the Football Bowl Subdivision — accurately reflects is that what UTEP UTEP spends $1.6 million less than North Texas ($34.1 million spent) on athletics and $6 million more than UTSA ($26.4 million), while making $1.5 million more than North Texas ($13 million made) and $2.3 million more than UTSA ($12.2 million). read more: http://www.elpasotimes.com/story/sports/college/utep/2017/08/02/utep-athletics-18-million-dollar-loss-only-part-story/455716001/

Littrell is listed as one of the 65 coaches voting in this poll. link: http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/03/alabama-no-1-ohio-state-no-2-in-preseason-coaches-poll/

I heard that too. Fingers crossed! Also - good to hear that Michael Lawrence is in the mix. Met his parents at Tony's tailgate and they have a really nice family. Lastly - Really encouraged to hear that Sid Moore is coming on. I thought he was one of the highest rated DL recruits we signed. He has sort of gone under the radar the past couple of years. If he can get back in the mix it would give us a lot more quality depth.

He has to improve his accuracy especially in the long ball. He's a really smart valedictorian type of kid so my hope is the game will slow down for him. I have high hopes for him and hope we can keep him healthy.

Congratulations! Proud of you man.

Sources telling me Dickey can't be here for induction, however he is coming for their bye weekend which is when we play UTEP.

Finally DD gets what he deserved for a long time!! Very happy about this.

Thank you @JohnWilliams

Cool to see @BeyondTheGreen and @Graham getting recognition they deserve as well as Patty and others.

We all know he's good - my question is how good can he be? What former UNT player (or any other player) does he remind you of? How can he improve his game? Say what you want about Benny as a coach, but this kid may turn out to be one of our better players we have had in the program. Will be fun to watch his career!

Just a question I thought of. Has the Russian guy joined the team? I haven't seen him in the practice vids yet. Would be interesting to know who is participating in these intense practices.

I feel that some - not all - of UTSA's fans seem bowed up against North Texas. Like they have a chip on their shoulder.

Hard not to be excited!

I see it as a positive thing for the conference and truthfully us. It emphasizes the fact that we cannot sit on our laurels anymore. I want to see the entire conference continue to build and succeed.

Good to hear and I really agree - good days to come for this conference.

In anticipation of the coming 2017 season, we have just performed a new software update on the GoMeanGreen site. There are a number on improvements which are being offered on this update that we are excited about. As always with implementing new features, there will likely be some issues that arise and we ask that you bear with us as we address these fixes in the coming weeks. Please note that as part of the update, some of the search indexing features are being repopulated and this will take a few days to complete. In the past I have done a full download of all of the new features, however this time as we are still figuring everything out ourselves, I want to share everything in a piecemeal fashion and answer questions etc accordingly. For now, as we evaluate the updates, and which ones are the most useful, I wanted to share one item that you will notice and can begin using right away. "Reactions" is a component of the software which allows you to use new reactions to posts. This is above and beyond the typical +/- system we have used for many years. I thought this would be something we try and see how it works out. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on this and we will adjust accordingly after a period of evaluation. So, you can still do a +/- as before, but you can also now do the following: Like Positive (+1) Thanks Enabled Positive (+1) Haha Enabled Positive (+1) Confused Enabled Neutral Sad Enabled Neutral Upvote Enabled Positive (+1) Downvote Enabled Negative (-1)

Can't wait to see him this season.

Damn good research! Just hope the staff is doing similar things to drive data driven decisions. Just getting lucky on a Brandon Kennedy type of player is rare these days with all of the data available.

Unfortunately, that is what much of recruiting coverage has become. If you can generate revenue you will get promotion.

Makes two of us. That still stings. What stings more is Mac acted like it was no big deal.

It would be interesting to know if Frank Wilson was even considered for our job. Probably not. Seems like they locked into Littrell early on.
