Obviously those of you who watch Game Day aren't paying attention to the crowd. There is always someone in the crowd other than SMU holding up signs. I have seen OSU fans holding up signs when Game Day has been OK. There is always an Aggie in the crowd holding up a sign when Game Day is at UT. I think it's a great idea.

Flipping through the latest copy of COWBOYS & INDIANS and came across an ad for Gameday Boots. Along with some of the usual suspects is a NORTH TEXAS Gameday boot. Check it out on their website www.gamedayboots.com

Daniel Meager has been hired to teach Middle School social studies and be a varsity football coach at a small school district outside of Longview. He is getting married in Novemeber. I would say Daniel Meager is doing really well.

If anyone would like to send the Dibrell family a card, I have their address and will PM to those who want it.

Jamario got married last Saturday to a wondeful young lady name Heather. She is a former UNT softball player. Chad Rose was his best man and Brandon Monroe was a groomsman. There were numerous former UNT softball players there as well. The ceremony was beautiful.

1000+

Players and coaches used to go to local schools, charity events and church under Dickey.

Happy Birthday, Medpilot. It was sooooo good to see you on Saturday. I hope you have had a fantastic day!!!!

Remember whenever you point the finger at someone, there's 3 fingers pointing back at you. When will the fan base stand up and take some responsibility for improving the athletic department. This university has had football at it since the turn of the last century, thats over 100 seasons, and my first year here, after 3 conference championships, having the 2003 nations leading rushing, and witnessing one of the greatest seasons by a freshman running back ever, and the average attendance is 15-17 thousand. The fans talk about needing tradition and creating school spirit, I guess the first 100 plus years that this school has had football wasn't enough time to develop tradition. As long as I've been around this program it just seems like many of the fans on this board always find something to complain about when it comes to UNT football, even when things are going good, you find a coach to bash, or a player to bash. You do realize players parents read this website, and this site has been known to say some pretty bad things about players, and then wonder why players parents wont speak to some of you at football games. Its the responsibility of all the members of the UNT community to take responsibility for the improvement of the program. If they means giving money, then give what you can, if that means sponsoring a player on this website and always saying good things about them (remember players and parents read this website) to help them through a rough season. Mother Teresa once said "Be the change you want to see in the world" might need to be the new theme for this program.

Don't forget Jimbo Fisher. He applied for the North Texas job too.

Have you asked any former players whether they feel Dodge treated them with respect and dignity...

Remember that actually got him fired...

So he wasn't involved in the hiring of the S & C coach or practice patterns...

The NCAA did a study of volleyball players in the mid 90's when about 1 player on every team would tear an ACL in a season, their conclusion, the weight training program was not designed to prepare their bodies for the physical stresses of the actual game, practice was not simulating game situations to the level that the players bodies would be experiencing in game situations. Maybe instead of accounting for a bunch of similar injuries to bad luck and freak accidents or even blaming the shoes and maybe question the strength and conditioning program and practice habits.

Brian Waters used to spend some time in the off season working out in the weight room at the UNT athletic center with the players. Haven't heard whether he continues to do so the last couple of years. The players always enjoyed having him around because he was a true motivator and inspiration.

We were just in New Orleans in November. Jazz brunch at the Court of Two Sisters is fantastic. Great buffet with over 80 items. If you go at 10:30 a.m. you can start with breakfast and move into lunch at 11:00 a.m. Good bloody marys too. The WWII Museum is a must. Newly added exhibits and a theater were opened right before Thanksgiving. Check out the French Market. It is back in full swing since being totally renovated after Katrina. There is a little red trailer that serves food. Even some of the locals will tell you the gumbo from the trailer is better than their mothers or grandmothers make. Also, new food places in the French Market. Don't ask any locals you meet about Katrina. They are tired of talking to tourist about Katrina. Most places you go you are going to be thanked for coming to New Orleans. The locals are so appreciative that people are coming back and spending their money.

Charley is a great young man. He wasn't treated very fairly and yet he has stayed at UNT, finished his undergrad degree and wants to stay and get an MBA. That speaks very highly about his character and about the education one can get at UNT.

Westlake did hire a new coach after the previous coach retired. Think Westlake is VERY happy with this coach since they advanced to the next round in the state playoffs yesterday.

I just happen to personally know 4 of the Seniors that went to Dickey and asked to wear all black uniforms.

Great and very accurate post! Be careful Caribbean Green, speaking the truth on this board will get you slammed by those who want to believe the hype of the last 3 years.
