  1. Muchos Garcias.
  2. Pics or it didn't happen. I got no swag as I'm slummin' it tonight with relatives at the LSU - ULM game. (And looking for Benedict Brune)
  3. I thought the '67 throwback costume jerseys looked OK, but the numbers don't look as bright as the outlined ones on our actual uniforms (that's what those accent colors are for) Why not as Home AND Away uniform? LSU plays their home games in white. Dallas Cowboys play their home games in white... Why not us? It just looks better against a green football field. It's supposed to feel cooler, but I really don't know how much difference it makes. Perhaps some former players can enlighten us.
  4. Oh yes, and good ol Skip Holtz of Tulane.
  5. Many of them were a reach to begin with, found they were over their heads, and are leaving to find some place that they can actually contribute. I can't blame them. I'm grateful they gave it their best shot. Best of luck to them.
  6. Possibly. Some, like Erik, have extenuating circumstances. Many of the others have had recruiters blowing smoke for the past several years: starting positions, NFL aspirations, caviar dreams and champagne wishes at every school, only to find they're 3rd or 4th on the depth chart. It happens everywhere. They can hit the transfer portal, but they better take a case of Dr Pepper with them.
  7. There's a contract, signed in 2020, to keep Willie Fritz at Tulane through 2027. I don't think Tulane can afford to fire him.
  8. Having worked only in the pro ranks, Jeff has little first-hand experience recruiting for colleges, only as a grad assistant. To say he's not knowledgeable would be a fallacy. Jeff's father Randy Rodgers has been for decades the foremost college recruiting expert in Texas through his position at Texas Football Magazine and Jeff has closely followed this process. http://www.randyrodgersrecruiting.com/_s_clients.asp I'd love to see Jeff eventually come home and work with North Texas in some capacity but the lucrative NFL salaries are probably going to keep him occupied for a long while. * For those not familiar, Jeff was a four year letterman linebacker for the Mean Green, and his senior year he intercepted Texas Tech quarterback Rob Peters for a 27 yard pick-six touchdown in North Texas' 1999 21-14 victory over the Red Raiders. North Texas QB Jason Attaway runs for yardage in the victory.
  9. Getting so much resistance from behind It's time we stop. Hey?
  10. Will there be a yellow flag at it's base?
  11. ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN on the fumble recovery by Grayson Murphy!!! 28 - 14 MEAN GREEN
  12. Touchdown!!! 44 yard run by Ragsdale. 21 - 14 Mean Green .
  13. Well, Freeze is 2-0 against North Texas.
  14. What? I don't think that's happening anytime soon.
  15. https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/football/2021/11/04/plano-three-star-edge-rusher-cam-robertson-commits-to-unt/ Plano High School, John Paul II last year. I believe this is the "mystery commitment" from earlier this season. He never wavered on his commitment, he just wanted to wait until his extended family was in town from Louisiana to make this announcement. He is ranked by 247Sports as the 63rd-best edge rusher in the nation in the Class of 2022. That is quite a list of schools that wanted his services: https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Cam-Robertson-138970/RecruitInterests/
  16. Colin Powell placed truth higher than politics. I was with a group of people talking with Secretary Powell the very moment that the OJ verdict was announced. He didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth and slowly shook his head sided to side, obviously disappointed by the victory for racism. Much to my chagrin he never ran for President. He was disliked by the extremes on both the left and on the right, but I believed would have done an excellent job representing the moderate people from both parties. RIP General, You left an excellent legacy.
  17. Downtown Denton is a gem and I love the idea to make the whole Square area restaurants and tourist type shops, and reroute traffic around it. After visiting Wrigley Field in Chicago, and several of the smaller "urban ballparks" like the Brickyard in Oklahoma City and AutoZone Park in Memphis, it became apparent that Denton could benefit from a downtown ballpark as it becomes more of a "name city" in the Metroplex and not just urban sprawl bedroom communities. I believe it's time for Denton County to finally step up and build something for the public. They have a built in partner in the University of North Texas and the facility could be used for big high school rivalry games as well. Plans would just need to start before North Texas spends it's budget on building an on-campus facility.
  18. Starting with 5 or 6 losses and making bowl plans? Hot Damn! My Hot Tub Time Machine Actually Works! We're back in the Dickey years! Whoo-Hooo! Doubt me? Go check Emmittoogle!
  19. Odd coincidence: in Botswana, more specifically their indigenous Setswana language, the word for Eagle is Ntsu.
  20. Very eloquently stated. That's kind of what I was hinting at for all the people that had replied recently that he could never come back to North Texas as an OC.
  21. I wonder if his OC is going with him.
