SUMG

Nice story by Ethan at 247. Really glad to see those two freshmen DL. Impressive class. https://247sports.com/college/north-texas/article/standout-freshmen-who-will-travel-with-the-mean-green-in-2024-235030545/

Might I add......they have the sense to play Mizzou on November 4. Not on Election Night (when we're playing Evansville)

He also told an interesting story. This was in the 90s as I recall. He was our campus liason down in Austin. And would travel down there every day. And back home at night. But as I recall....the school had him an executive apartment in Austin. Anyway....he told about talking to an attractive young woman (in the elevator or parking lot). Said she was very friendly. Walt found out later....the woman was Sharon Stone. (back when she was at her smoke show finest).

Walt Parker?

Kemon is starting to get some notice. DMNews writer Calvin Watkins listed him as a longshot possibly for the 53 man Cowboys roster. And y'day I e-mailed beat reporter (and UNT alum) David Moore. He told me that he thinks the Cowboys would love to have Kemon on their Practice Squad....at the very least. In case you don't know....if another team wants one of your Practice Squad guys for their 53-man roster....you have to let them go. Feeling really good about our NFL guys. They're all either somewhat established (JWil and Guyton) or are guys who are having really good camps. (Kemon, Nate Brooks, Darden)

No...it's permanent. They got it from the UFL. It's for player safety. But, they seem to think it will lead to more KO returns. It had gotten in the NFL....that a KO return for a TD....was almost a thing of the past. So while the new KO is odd (at the moment)....it might help our guy Darden have some flashy moments.

What a night for Kemon Hall, Dallas......3 tackles (2 solo).....but one 69 yard PIC SIX was the best moment. Same game....Jalen Guyton (Raiders).....2 catches for 8 yards Jeff Wilson, no stats for Miami. Probably didn't play....but am not sure. McDaniel (the coach) likes Jeff (brought him over from SF)...so I think he's in pretty good shape. Jaelon Darden, Cleveland..........2 catches for 21 yards........1 KO return for 29.......2 punt returns for 16 yds. (These new KO rules may really help his chances) Nate Brooks, Cincy..........3 tackles (1 solo)

Great. thanks for posting...

We had Texas in 1980....and I think 1981 as well. (And also Vic Trilli got Tom Penders to give us a game in Denton.....in '97?) In 1980.....we were down 69-60 with 1:07 left....came back and tied the game in regulation (71-71) on a half court shot (by Pat Hicks). We won in overtime. (This was before the 3 point shot, btw). By the way....I think we got two games out of Texas, back when Abe Lemons was their coach. At least one. And here's how we got those game(s): We had a great player named Fred Mitchell....played for Coach Blakely '75-'78. Fred's brother was a stud out of Amarillo...named Victor. Victor was committed to us. He wanted to get out of his commitment to go to UT. Coach Blakely got with Abe....and we agreed to free Victor....if Texas would give us a home game. (Like I said....I think we got two...but am not sure). Anyway......long story short....Victor signed with Kansas.

The easiest prediction in the world....is that the G5 rep in the playoff.....will eventually be eliminated. You had asshats like Paul Finebaum and Herbstreit......raising Hell...because Liberty took a spot last year in the NY6 game.

Been wanting this. At least they're being proactive. https://sports.yahoo.com/the-new-college-football-playoff-is-here-are-more-changes-coming-in-the-near-future-120010322.html

"snitches get stitches" j/k

Kudos to Brett Vito. He has an online story (D-RC) about Nate Brooks. It included Nate's stats....and that inspired me to look up the others.

Well from that.....I did like the way #44 runs with the football. Big running back......by our standards. https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/damashja-harris/6815

Jeff Wilson, Miami......5 carries for 7 yds. 3 catches for 18 yds., 1 TD Kemon Hall, Dallas......1 tackle Jaylen Guyton, Las Vegas......1 catch for 24 yards Nate Brooks, Cincy............5 tackles, 3 solo Jaelen Darden, Cleveland.......1 KO return for 25 yds., 1 punt return for 3 yds. Am I missing anyone??

The Jags are screwed now. Because of that released scrimmage video....I (with my untrained eyes) now know that the Jags will throw some....and run some. No telling what our coaches picked up. I'm calling it right now.......UNT 77 USA 0 (game called at half time, due to mercy rule)

I've looked around.....and can't find any news on the scrimmage. I don't get this media blackout....that we seem to have, with regards to football scrimmages. Used to, if nothing else....there'd be a scrimmage report at the official site. The NFL is brilliant with the way they market training camps and practices. They get fans pumped for the upcoming season. For some reason....ours are more secretive than the nuclear codes.

The incident took place on April 4. The players were arrested by campus police on August 9. Proving that there will never be a TV show called: CSI:UNTPD

According to Brett V....one of the camp surprises has been walk-on QB Drew Mastemaker (Austin Vandergrift). “Drew came in as a walk-on and continues to earn more reps with the twos,” Morris said of UNTs backups. “He has a really live arm and is picking it up fast.” (from the D-RC)

I'm sure Dayton is a tough place to play. We lost there several years ago. They've got home OOC games with Northwestern, Ball State, New Mexico State, Western Michigan, Lehigh, Marquette and UNLV.

We lost 15 games last year. We were 11-4 at home. Can we stop this nonsense....that no visiting team can win in Denton? Rice beat us a few seasons ago here. And UTSA beat us here LAST YEAR. Also....Charlotte was 13-5 in league play....we were 10-8. They beat us by 12 in Charlotte.

I didn't go......because every year it's the same thing. They have Jared say a few words. Some times the Prez does too. Then they have Dave Barnett interview every coach that is there. I would rather it be just two hours of mixing and mingling. (with other fans and the coaches). They could have tables set up for season tix, donations and whatnot. I would rather have a minute or two to talk to a coach....and then leave him/her, to visit with other fans. I wish they would try something new. The Barnett interviews get old (to me anyway).

Stuff like this....makes no sense: We're going to High Point (27-9 last year) for a game. Was told...that we're not getting a return game. (just like we didn't from Boise and St. Mary's). And yet.....Charlotte just signs a home and home with Utah State. (I'm guessing that's at least a 2000 mile trip?) Edit: Looked it up.......2,032 miles apart.
