Great photos........thanks for sharing !

You might be celebrating a little prematurely ?

Three play by play blogs at a North Texas scrimmage ? Luv the competition

In my opinion, if this defense can show up every Saturday night this fall the Mean Green will be a tough squad to beat, especially if Cook and the secondary keep rearranging chin straps like they did today.

This Clemson couple thinks the uniforms are 'purdy'.

In 11-on-11, Tune and Thompson worked under center, even running some option, during the first day goal-line drills. Day 6 Practice Report http://northtexas.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=2741&tid=135645648&mid=135645648&sid=1211&style=2

Great post Emmitt ! I'm thinking 7-5, but will certainly take 8-4 (regular seasons).

Bummer, neither is allowed "inside the iron". That's exclusive Green Gang territory.

Nathan Tune has probably looked the sharpest early in camp, but we're a long way from Clemson and Derek Thompson is right on his heels. Saturday's scrimmage might be the big impression both of these QBs need to seal the job.

Vito acts a little threatened. Otherwise why take a shot at the other guy ? Increased attention and a coverage battle = more info for the Mean Green faithful ?

Thanks for your "outside the iron" report SUMG. Many other observers today ?

Coach Todd Dodge said while it’s still too early, there could be some separation between quarterbacks Nathan Tune and Derek Thompson by the end of Saturday’s scrimmage. Day 5 Practice Report http://www.northtexas.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=2741&tid=135621708&mid=135621708&sid=1211&style=2

http://blog.philsteele.com/2010/08/12/my-favorite-teams-for-2010/ North Texas-The Green Wave made my most improved list so you knew I was rooting for them right from the start. Over the past 12 years of all the teams that had losing records the previous year, only 20% improve to bowl eligibility the next year. The last two years my Most Improved list has had 69% of the teams go from a losing record to bowl eligibility! Most magazines look at the past performances for North Texas (2-20 last 5 years in the Sun Belt) and pick them 8th in the SBC or 2nd last. Every year is a new year and I think this is the season it all falls into place for NT and I have them THIRD in the Sun Belt! Get me those North Texas polo shirts and ties as I will be rooting for North Texas every week this season!

Off the CUSA board. Season ticket sales that we can only dream of Posted by PirateNation WOW - Over 30,000 season tickets sold at ECU A new all-time record in season tickets sales at East Carolina.. 22,250 season tickets have been sold. Also, an additional 7,800 season tickets have been sold to students at $40 in the Student Pirate Club (also a record) bringing the total to over 30,000 season tickets. I'm amazed. Proud the Pirates have stepped up.

The most interesting quote came from Todd Dodge, who openly admitted that he has been given an ultimatum by athletic director Rick Villarreal (one we all know to be that UNT has to win seven games this season for the staff to return). Dodge said that UNT has the team it needs to reach that milestone.
