Kenny Cooper, a 6-foot-10 center, has enrolled at Louisiana Tech and is transferring from Oklahoma State. Cooper is a product of Monroe's Richwood High School. He spent the last two seasons playing at Oklahoma State. A year ago, Cooper averaged 4.7 points and 3.1 rebounds for the Cowboys. Cooper will have to sit out this year but will be eligible for the 2008-09 season.

You want to get these young players some time during the first couple of games because it doesn't affect their ability to redshirt. I am sure that's a reason that Coach Dodge stayed with the standard offense throughout the game instead of just trying to run out the clock. He wants some of these younger guys to get real game experience running their offense against top competition. It was a gutsy call but it made the final score look uglier.

UNT Notes 12:15 AM CDT on Thursday, September 6, 2007 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer Briefly … Senior running back Jamario Thomas did not practice on Wednesday.

This further proves the fact that: The North Texas game is SMU's SUPERBOWL. There's a reason why something like 78% of all SMU fans listed the North Texas contest as their most anticipated game. The success of their whole season depends on a victory next Saturday.

Look, let's face facts. 1) That girl is OSFA. 2) She will probably be able to turn this publicity into endorsements. Look what the scripted "is it fish or is it chicken?" quote did for Jessica Simpson, or what the scripted canned recording incident did for her sister.

Yeah, rumor is that he had it several times and had to keep going to the Student Health Center for penicillin. Just kiddin' OGG.

Yeah, it's lunar, so there's no need for me to throw on the apricot scarf and head to Nova Scotia. signed........... A _ _ E _ -
It would have been nice to have posted a picture of Jamario from this game. It would have made the trivia much harder since there wouldn't be any opponents uniforms in the frame.

Breaking News -- Willingham Transfers To Unt
ADLER replied to NCMeanGreen's topic in Mean Green Basketball
Good call Green Means Go! It's nice to see this player get to Pony Up to a NCAA Tournament team. -
Biggest concern, and nothing else even comes close.... A short term solution will be utilized and another substandard stadium will be be built to replace the current one. I can accept wins, losses and coaching changes, but I can never accept completely selling out the future for the short term gain. Please feel free to respond to my post if you've been following this program since before 2000. Newbies, please wait a few years before responding.

It's A Lie! I made up the whole thing. It was a slow day on the board and I thought I'd post something just to stir the hornets nest. I guess I'll have to try a little harder next time.

I was in Denton this afternoon with my family and we stopped at the athletic center around 5:00 to see the new displays in the Hall of Fame section of the building. There were a lot of cars in the lot but the main entrance doors were locked. There were a lot of voices and laughing coming from behind the building. I walked around to the side of the building so I could see what was going on. It seems that the whole team may have been there and there were about 30 of our players hanging around outside with their hair dyed bright yellow. They were laughing loudly each time another group of players came out of the locker room with this bleached look. They certainly looked odd but I guess it some type of team unity thing. I wanted to go down there and ask but I had the family waiting in the car. Does anyone know the story behind this?

Muts Startin' To Get Chinks In Their Armor ?
ADLER replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
Stockstill sure seems determined to trash this kid's name. Mosley was probably going to be only a reserve on this year's team, and he has recently graduated. Is it so shocking that he could possibly have priorities outside of football? -

It must have been a test prototype when they were determining the layout. It may be the only one.

Jamario And Henderson Feature Articles In Longview News Journal
ADLER replied to J-Mo Fan's topic in Mean Green Football
Henderson ready to contribute Finding his niche By GABRIEL D. BROOKS Monday, August 13, 2007 Adjusting from a run-first offense to a pass-happy, spread attack is a tough transition for a college football feature back. What's harder is if you're not the feature back, but the guy who does the dirty work for him. That's the situation former Carthage standout Keronna Henderson faces entering the 2007 season at North Texas. Henderson, a redshirt walk-on junior in his fourth year with the program, has carved out a football career doing the dirty work. The 6-foot, 225-pound sports management major was a fullback and linebacker at Carthage, earning all-state honors on defense as a senior in 2003. He made the move to full-time fullback in former UNT coach Darrell Dickey's run-based offense, playing in 23 games in 2005-06 while playing extensively on special teams. University of North Texas football player Keronna Henderson of Carthage speaks with reporters during UNT Media Day last Wednesday in Denton. But new coach Todd Dodge, who won four Class 5A state championships at Southlake Carroll, uses, in his words, an offense that resembles a mixture of Mike Leach's Texas Tech scheme and Urban Meyer's Florida offense. There is no fullback in that offense. "The old offense was basically smash-mouth football. Run, run, run, play-action pass," Henderson said. "But now it's more wide open, spreading the ball around to each position, but majority passing." Henderson will make the transition to running back, but it's a position with competition, including former Spring Hill standout Jamario Thomas. Like Thomas, Henderson will be asked to catch the ball out of the backfield, something neither is accustomed to. Dodge said Henderson would likely play an H-back position, a hybrid tight end role. Henderson said his experience in picking up blitzes has helped him the most. "A lot of the blocking assignments and things, I've already got that down," Henderson said. "You've just got to be ready for having the opportunity to get the ball every play." While Henderson concentrates on blocking assignments, he's not neglecting school assignments. He is on track to graduate in May, leaving him with a final year of eligibility while he can start taking graduate courses. He's recently gained interest in becoming a sports agent, and could eventually attend law school. Even if he doesn't become an agent, Henderson wants to be involved in player relations at the professional level. "I could (represent) someone maybe in the same situation that I came through in college or high school," he said. "I've been through a lot and nothing's been given to me, so I think I'll be able to make it." Charging linebackers aren't the only thing Henderson worries about blocking. Ground balls and choppers are also parts of his blocking assignments. Henderson played varsity baseball at Carthage for two years and plays third base and designated hitter for North Texas' club team, since the school does not have an NCAA varsity squad. Henderson hit an opposite-field home run in his first at-bat of the spring season, and hit over .400. Somehow, Henderson said, he will be involved in professional sports. His top priority after his eligibility expires is trying out for every NFL team he can. "The way I see it, they're going to have to tell me I can't try out for another team," Henderson said. "I'm going to try to make it on that level, and I play baseball. I'm going to try to make it in baseball if football doesn't work. After that, I'm going to have my degree to fall back on." Henderson must compete with UNT's other backs for playing time, but he already teases one of them about a past victory. Henderson and Thomas are roommates with Brandon Monroe, a linebacker from Electra. Henderson said Carthage's 62-30 win over Thomas' Spring Hill Panthers in the 2003 playoffs is a sore subject for Thomas. "I just always give him a hard time about how bad we beat them in the playoffs, and the fact that I stripped him once during the game," Henderson said. "He'll come back talking crazy. It's fun. We're having a good time." Monroe said the trio argues about which is better, West Texas or East Texas. Thomas is glad to have Henderson backing him up in the arguments. "We have a good time and we're good friends. We kind of all have something in common," Monroe said. "We're from small towns, country towns. We get along well." Thomas thinks Henderson's gotten more mobile, noting that he and other teammates used to pick on Henderson for the rigidity in his hips. One thing's for sure, Henderson won't miss playing time because of a lack of effort. "Just (trying to) keep an open mind about everything. I know we've got Jamario coming back, and we've got some seniors and junior-college transfers at the position," Henderson said. "I'm going to utilize every opportunity I have, bust my tail on special teams, also. That's a big thing the pro scouts are looking at nowadays. Just continue to do my best and not give up." — You can follow Keronna Henderson and the University of North Texas on KPXI 100.7 The Word, which broadcasts every UNT football game. -
There should be a new student referendum which would guarantee the revenue necessary for bonds. It's not impossible, the stadium will cost roughly twice what the Student Recreational Facility did. There would also need to be a concerted alumni fund raising drive combined with some creative athletics packaging. To raise revenue, SMU sold season ticket packages for the first 3 seasons before Ford Stadium was built. And then, we can continue to look for that corporate sponsor or big donor. I think it will come easier than anyone believes possible. UCF which has virtually no football heritage has donors tripping all over themselves trying to get naming rights to different parts of the stadium. All UCF needed was to show that they are truly serious about Division 1 athletics. Their new stadium makes that statement, and they open that stadium by hosting the Texas Longhorns.
