North Texas : Is it time for the Mean Green to get back to a winning season? Could be. The team returns eight starters on offense, six on defense. Leading the way will be RB Lance Dunbar, who is back after rushing for 1,378 yards. The offensive line also has four starters back, which should help whichever new quarterback takes over (Senior Nathan Tune or sophomore Derek Thompson). Oklahoma transfer Tyler Stradford will boost a very good WR core led by all-Sun Belt performer Jamall Jackson (71 catches in 2009). The defense MUST get better after allowing almost 36 points per game. LB Craig Robertson and DE Brandon Akpunku lead the way. Must-see game: Sept. 18 at Army. Last year Army won 17-13.

http://www.statesman.com/news/texas/mtsu-primed-to-pass-up-troy-atop-sun-841673.html?viewAsSinglePage=true EXERPT The Sun Belt is gradually gaining respect, increasing bowl bids and competing better with — and sometimes even beating — opponents from conferences like the Big Ten and the SEC. A number of the league's stadiums are new, renovated or expanded, and attendance has been rising, making those programs increasingly attractive to players from fertile recruiting grounds.

Well, because if you are Troy and can stomach signing a player you know has slim or no chance of qualifying academically, you are hoping that you can park the non-qualifier at one of the junior colleges you have a good relationship with and in a couple years he will be able to qualify. Then you tell the kid ‘remember, we were the only school that took a chance on you,’ and get him to come to Troy.

They will be.

The measure will be considered adopted at the end of the Division I Board of Directors meeting on January 16, with an effective date of August 1, 2010.

Wasn't the last UNT bobble head doll the Booger Kennedy from 2002 or '03 ?
