Super Bowl Picks
Eagle-96 replied to Coach's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
It is a crime to vote against a team coached by Bill Belichick and I LOVE to see Philadelphia lose. -
When I saw the score on the ESPN ticker, I thought it had to be a mis-print because it didn't mention OT. That was a wild one for sure. BTW: What is the NT record for longest game?

Saw "Sideways" today

I thought Church was excellent(his charatcetr was a self-serving jerk but Church made you like him) and this will no doubt propel him to bigger things. I also thought that Giamatti was superb as well. -

From Meangreensports.com Flanigan was a 1997 graduate of SMU where he led the Mustangs to a 6-5 record, the school’s first winning season since 1986. He concluded his SMU career as the school’s career leader in total offense with 7,427 yards and as the school’s fourth all-time leading passer with 5,640 yards. He is the only player in SMU history to pass for 5,500 or more yards and rush for at least 1,500 yards. He had 30 career passing touchdowns and 27 career-rushing touchdowns for a school record 57 touchdowns produced. He made his collegiate debut as a true freshman in 1992, but received a red-shirt after partially tearing a thumb ligament against North Texas and missing the final nine games of the season. In 1994, Flanigan was one of 11 players in the country selected to the CFA Good-Works All-America team. He was a second-team all-SWC pick that season after finishing 13th in the nation in total offense (237.1 yards per game). In 1996 he was named WAC Mountain Division "Player of the Week" after a 23-10 win over Arkansas. For OOC wins: In 1993 SMU beat Navy In 1994 SMU beat New Mexico In 1995 SMU beat Arkansas In 1996 SMU beat Arkansas In 1997 SMU beat Arkansas

Defending Randy Moss' moonshot

RF's age will continue to hurt him for the next few years. Let's not forget that he was a college quarterback just 7 seasons ago. Any AD that hires him has to answer to the board and the alumni and not many want to answer the question, " Our new head coach is HOW old?" It's gonna take some time but he will have his day if we keep having NCAA rushing champs.

Sad News
Eagle-96 replied to Coach's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
A sad day indeed. Johnny was a class act. I remember when he took time off from the Rangers to be with his ailing wife because in his words, "There are more important things in life". He took the Rangers to the next level on the field. More importantly, he showed us all class and passion for the game. I am saddened by his passing. -
http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...r.15c24183.html Men's basketball: Mean Green center could miss 8 weeks 09:39 AM CST on Thursday, December 16, 2004 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer Another round of disappointment followed the best game of Justin Barnett’s career this week. The North Texas junior center broke multiple bones in his right hand during practice and will miss the Mean Green’s 8 p.m. game tonight against Southern. The injury occurred just days after Barnett scored a career-high 13 points in a win over Texas-Pan American on Saturday. The injury is the latest in a series of setbacks for Barnett, who was forced to take a redshirt season as a freshman because of a foot injury. "He has had some tough luck," UNT coach Johnny Jones. "It’s very unfortunate." Barnett’s latest injury is expected to keep him out of the Mean Green’s lineup for the next six to eight weeks. The timetable would allow Barnett to return in time for the stretch run of the season, including the Sun Belt Conference tournament on March 4-8 at The Super Pit. Barnett started the Mean Green’s first seven games of the season and averaged 5.9 points and 2.9 rebounds a game. Freshman Quincy Williams and junior Jeffrey Simpson are expected to fill the void left by Barnett. Williams has quickly established himself as one of the Mean Green’s top reserves by averaging 5.1 points and 4.7 rebounds a game. Simpson is averaging 2.0 points and 1.7 rebounds a game. Both Simpson and Williams are 6-8 and will be the Mean Green’s tallest players available without Barnett, who is 6-10. "This will be an opportunity for other guys to step up and capture those minutes," Jones said. "I am quite sure our guys will respond. They have been waiting on an opportunity. They didn’t want to get it this way, with someone getting hurt, but they will take advantage." Williams and Simpson will have their first opportunity to shine when UNT takes on a Southern team that beat the Mean Green 75-58 last season. The Jaguars (3-3) return four of their five starters from their 2003-04 squad. Jones named Southern’s ability to rebound and score inside as the key reasons the Jaguars have gotten off to a solid start. Those attributes will make the performance of UNT’s interior players all the more important. The challenge is one Simpson believes the Mean Green (4-3) is ready to face. "It’s going to be really important for the rest of us to play well down low," Simpson said. "We are going to have to play hard, aggressive defense and block shots. Our defense will be the key to the game." A solid performance by UNT inside would compliment the Mean Green’s guards, who have paced the Mean Green offensively. Senior Leonard Hopkins is averaging 17.3 points a game to lead three Mean Green players who are averaging double figures in scoring. Calvin Watson is averaging 13.9 points a game after posting a career-high 28 points in UNT’s win over Pan American. The sophomore guard hit a career high six 3-point shots against the Broncs. Michael Jones is adding 10.7 points per outing for the Mean Green. UNT is hoping those three players can help the Mean Green make up for losing Barnett from its starting lineup and build on a win over Pan American. UNT lost at Texas before beating the Broncs. "I was disappointed in our loss at Texas, but we bounced back and played well at Pan American," Jones said. "They are a senior dominated club and we had to play them in a tough atmosphere."

Please explain how it is stupid. Is it because we want to keep down travel costs. Is it because we want to play against teams from Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc... instead of Hawaii, California, Nevada Is it because the WAC will fall apart when San Jose and Idaho drop to 1-AA Is it because the WAC will fail when Fresno and Boise jump to a better conference. GMG!!! Beat LaMo!!!

http://www.kylgrafx.com/mojo/werock80.htm I thought the same thing when I watched the movie. Although apparetly they did play them in the regular season. They also trapped themselves by putting Permian in the title game against Carter and then not mentioning that Carter forfeited the championship. How would they explain Permain not being awarded the championship. James “Boobie” Miles has a cameo appearance as a Permian High School assistant coach.

I really like the movie although for Hollywood purposes they had Permian and Dallas Carter in the state title game instead of the semi-finals. The audience was really into the movie with several people clapping and cheering every time Mojo made a good play in the game against Carter as if they were watching a live game. The theatre was dead silent at the end of the game. You could hear a feather drop. I thought the film portrayed the all-or-nothing life of Boobie Myles perfectly. If you grew up in Texas you will enjoy this movie. If you played high school football or have kids that did, you will LOVE this movie. To me, it is right up there with Rudy, Remember the Titans, and Pride of the Yankees as far as sports movies go. GMG!!!

Basketball: Depth at post is concern for UNT as season begins 09:02 AM CST on Friday, November 21, 2003 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer Justin Barnett felt like he had more to give during his first two years as a member of the North Texas men’s basketball team. The Mean Green’s upcoming season might very well depend on the accuracy of the sophomore center’s suspicions. UNT will open its season Friday night with a game against Northwestern Okla-homa State, and Barnett will be in the starting lineup as one of the few healthy post players the Mean Green have left on its roster. Barnett will get help eventually from a series of other players who are either out with injuries or are waiting to become eligible. How Barnett performs be-fore then could have a major impact on the way a UNT team hoping to recover from a disappointing season fares. The Mean Green are coming off of a 7-21 campaign and lost their top player in Chris Davis. "I am very pleased with the way we are playing right now," UNT coach Johnny Jones said. "The underclassmen have done a good job of carrying this basketball team throughout the early part of the season." Several of UNT’s young players should play critical roles for the Mean Green this season, when the team will be without Davis for the first time in four years. The guard finished his career as the second-leading scorer in school history and was among the top 10 players in the Sun Belt Conference in scoring, rebounds and assists last season. Jones said UNT will feature a more balanced scoring attack this season, one that will depend on several new players to step into key roles. Guard Marqus Mitchell and forward Michael Jones both scored in double figures in each of UNT’s exhibition games. Both were all-region players in junior college last season. "We will depend on the new players somewhat," Mitchell said. "We will fill some roles that they didn’t have players for in the past, but we will depend a lot on the veteran guys who have played and know what it takes to win in this league." Michael DeGrate, one of the few holdovers from last season’s team, should be one of the Mean Green’s top players. DeGrate averaged 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds a game last season. Leonard Hopkins’ return will give UNT another guard capable of scoring. The junior was averaging 12.7 points when he injured his foot in the ninth game of last season. The injury kept Hopkins out the rest of the year. Hopkins’ return gives UNT a wealth of guards and small forwards. Where UNT is shorthanded is in the paint. Senior forward Will Smith is out for 3-4 weeks with a knee injury and LSU transfer Shawnson John-son will not be back until January. Johnson will regain his eligibility at the end of the first semester. His return will be delayed by hernia surgery. UNT’s injuries will leave Barnett as one of the few players capable of playing in the paint early in the season. That prospect would have been daunting the last two years, when Barnett struggled with back and foot injuries. Those injuries have not been a problem so far this season, partly because Barnett came back to school in better shape than ever before. "I was hoping to play an increased role this year," Barnett said. "I worked hard this summer to get into better shape. I was disappointed in the way I played last year. I am hoping to do more to help the team." Barnett averaged 2.6 points and 3.1 rebounds a game last season. UNT’s coaches are confident they will get much more from the 6-10 sophomore. Jones calls Barnett one of the team’s most improved players. Barnett took a redshirt year his first year at UNT and then battled injuries last year. "It may have been a blessing that Justin took a redshirt year," Jones said. "It helped him mature. He has great feet, large hands and does an excellent job in the paint. He is becoming a more skilled player." Barnett will need to be at his best early in the season when UNT hopes to turn its fortunes around with a solid start. A few wins early in the season could build UNT’s confidence and make the Mean Green an even better team when Smith and Johnson return later in the year. "It’s very important for us to get off to a good start," Jones said. "We have some tough games early, but if we play well and get some chemistry going they are games we are capable of winning."

New talent out to improve on UNT's seven-win total 10:34 PM CST on Tuesday, November 18, 2003 By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle DENTON – North Texas faces a tough task – rebuilding without its top player from a season ago. Chris Davis completed his career when he led the Sun Belt Conference in scoring with 19.0 points a game. He also ranked seventh in the league in rebounds (7.2 a game) and 10th in assists (2.96 a game). Davis, however, couldn't prevent UNT from going 7-21. UNT coach Johnny Jones added several highly decorated newcomers in an effort to improve that mark. Junior college transfers Marqus Mitchell and Michael Jones are among the newcomers who could end up starting. UNT should also get a lift from LSU transfer Shawnson Johnson. The 6-9 forward will be eligible at the end of the fall semester but isn't due back until January after hernia surgery. Though UNT lost Davis, a few solid players are back. Senior forward Michael DeGrate is UNT's top returning scorer (8.7 points per game), and Leonard Hopkins started eight of UNT's first nine games last season before being shelved because of a foot injury.
