I'm sure Dodge is going to offer a scholarship to the backup over the starter considering he coached there last year.

I picked out quite a few: Jamario for his freshman year Cobbs Galbreath Wilburn Jones and Jackson from 76 Haynes Pegram

I don't think the skills it takes to hit someone and the skills it takes to be an effective blocker are the same.

My only issue with the "give Mendoza time" side of the coin is that Bleil arrived last year, installed a new system and had us playing pretty good by week two.

That's why I commented that I liked Adler's thinking and editing skills. Make everyone think we are beating UT, everyone shows up, SRO crowd and we hammer TSUSM

If there are 400 people in the photo, then there were 80,000 at the SMU/NT game. -

It's a shame the USPS copied us. Thank goodness they, USPS, didn't change their colors to green and white!

OU moves forward with appeal to reclaim wins taken away by NCAA By JEFF LATZKE, AP Sports Writer September 12, 2007 TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma has filed its appeal requesting the NCAA overturn an infractions committee ruling that would strip the Sooners of eight wins because of rules violations involving former starting quarterback Rhett Bomar. "We just got acknowledgment that it's been received and in process," university President David Boren said Wednesday following a board of regents meeting. The university notified the NCAA in July that it intended to appeal the ruling that would take away the Sooners' wins from an 8-4 season in 2005 that concluded with a victory against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl. Oklahoma is also appealing a "failure to monitor" violation based on findings that the school failed to track athletes' employment at a Norman car dealership. University officials said details of the appeal would be released in the next several days. Oklahoma has said it would accept penalties including two additional years of probation and reductions in scholarships and recruiting time, but the university believes it's excessive to take away the wins. "I think it's unfair because you're punishing the people that are totally innocent, that did their jobs right and that worked hard," Boren said. "How can another player help it if one individual or two individuals on a team do something wrong? "It's group punishment when it really I think needs to be kept at individual punishment." Boren said he thinks the NCAA gave Oklahoma some credit for taking corrective action quickly and for self-reporting the violations, which occurred when Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn took pay for work they did not perform at Big Red Sports and Imports in Norman. Bomar and Quinn were kicked off the team in August 2005, with Bomar transferring to Sam Houston State and Quinn to Montana. The NCAA ordered Bomar to pay back more than $7,400 in extra benefits to a charity, and Quinn to make donations totaling more than $8,100. Boren said other schools have claimed they could not get private donors or companies to disclose their personal financial information but "we dug that up our ourselves." "They did not bar us from conference championship and (postseason) competition. They made very small adjustments in our scholarships, which really don't take us below our historic levels," Boren said. "I thought the one thing we had an obligation to particularly appeal was having players and coaches who played by the rules (and) worked their hearts out punished by having their wins taken off the record book. "I think that's something we had an obligation to appeal, and something I hope that the NCAA will take a second look at." The infractions committee now has 30 days to respond to Oklahoma's appeal, and the university would then have its own opportunity for a response. Oklahoma has requested the appeal be handled in writing instead of through a hearing before the NCAA infractions appeals committee. Boren said he expected it would be "a couple of months" before the situation is resolved

Receiver Took Path To Stardom At U N T

Camper was also a QB in high school, I believe at Dallas Samuel. -
University of Central Florida. I believe they are in Orlando.

Heck, I'd like to know who is in charge of his rehabilitation. They should be working on flexibility, range of motion, muscular imbalance, etc...

I think when the lead doctor describes it as a minor miracle, then it is a minor miracle. The previous night the doctor stated that he didn't think Everett would ever walk again. Now I agree that the doctor's preparation and quick response to the situation were instrumental in his recovery, but to go from not walking ever again to walking out of the hospital a day later in miraculous. Anyway, this is great news for Everett.

No, in the article there is a picture of Dominique Green and Kevin Ealey. Unfortunately, the caption under Kevin's picture spelled his last name incorrectly as "Easley."

I would also love to know the status of: Gilmore Chatman Owusu-Hemeng Banks

Could UNT go Green? Ok, so North Texas is already Green, but what about Dominique Green? I have been asked over and over about the cornerback's status the last few weeks. The former starter seemed to be getting more practice time on Tuesday, so I asked head coach Todd Dodge about Green’s status. Dodge said everyone is getting a look in practice. It wasn't exactly a ringing endorsement for a player who has been in the dog house ever since he arrived for fall practice out of shape, but it did leave the door open for another player to see some time at cornerback. At this point I don't see what Dodge has to lose by giving Green a shot. UNT has been torched in the passing game in each of its first two games. For more on Green and the Mean Green, see tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle, which includes the DR-C's weekly all-sports UNT notebook.

Canopies from WalMart Academy also sells them. I believe EZ-Up is a good brand.

Shouldn't you be at the mall? Sorry, couldn't resist. -
Here's a couple of links to answer your questions: History and name changes of North Texas NT History Eagle=mascot Mean Green=nickname Look Under "Traditions" and Mean Green Moniker Side Note: I find it interesting that in 1922 the eagle was chosen over the lion and the dragon as the mascot. Can you imagine what it would have been like with Dodge arriving, changing the uniforms and NT being called "The Dragons" just like SLC?

Mean Green Get Another Carroll Committment
UNTLifer replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
I would think that Drake, Johnson and now Leppo could play center or guard in this system. Just sign good quality lineman. I trust the Leftwich to develop them and find the right spot for them. Can't have too many lineman. -
Nice articles on Everett in today's Houston Chronicle. Seems like a great young man. My prayers are with him. Chron.com

Another Dodge Trained Q B With Stellar Stats
UNTLifer replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
I may be wrong, but I think Dodge taught Mizzou the SLC offense when they signed Daniel.
