Oh, I like Weathers, but those totals are the result of being weak up front. He wouldn't come close to that total playing behind Booger, McIver, Daniels, Awasome, Casey, Hurd and Spencer

Jones and Buckles were the best two safeties we've ever had. By that I mean, the best set that played together. If Craig Jones was about .3 of a second faster, he'd be playing on Sundays.

Agreed. Does anyone feel like they could have written these articles? Not much as far as in depth analysis or how players look this spring, etc... Pretty basic write-ups.

Easy now, DD said the same thing every spring.

I had him in a few classes. At the time, pretty quiet guy with long, stringy blond hair.

A little about tomorrow's scrimmage North Texas' football scrimmage tomorrow could provide a few clues as to where just about everyone on UNT's roster stands with the Mean Green's spring game rapidly approaching. Head coach Todd Dodge said the scrimmage will have the No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense face off for 15 plays, followed by the No. 2 offense and defense for 15 plays and finally the third teams for 10 plays. The scrimmage will conclude with the Mean Green running through certain situations, much like it did in its first scrimmage. There is little doubt that Daniel Meager has tightened his grip on the starting quarterback job thus far in spring practice. What could be interesting is to see how the rest of the depth chart looks at this point. The scrimmage and the spring game might be particularly important in a couple of position battles, including center and wide receiver. Kelvin Drake and Chad Rose are splitting time at center while several players are in the mix at wide receiver. UNT has six highly regarded receivers coming in this fall. Getting a leg up on the players already on the team would definitely help out players like Korey Washington and Brock Stickler, who are making a quick impression in spring practice. It could also be interesting to see how Woody Wilson fares. Wilson is a terrific athlete who might be better off at another position if he cannot beat out Matt Phillips for the backup job, especially considering Giovanni Vizza will arrive in the fall. Vizza could compete for the starting job right away, leaving Wilson buried at fourth on the depth chart. Wilson has the speed and quickness to contribute as a wide receiver or defensive back. For more on the scrimmage, see tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle.

And now we know why DD was so lax on discipline.

Still don't see it, especially when the NT hat says North Texas on the back. I have the same hat and have never been asked if I was an Philly fan. Now, there was a former NT hat in forest green with the eagle head logo that was similar.

Will they mail them out?

And you didn't pass out from exhaustion???

Now those look alike!

DENTON (4/11/07) - MeanGreenSports.com is previewing the 2007 North Texas football team with daily updates that will break down the team’s outlook by position. The updates will continue over the next nine days, leading up to the annual Green and White Game that will be played at Fouts Field on Sunday, April 22 at 3 p.m. Linebackers With the switch back to the 4-3, the premium on the play of the linebackers will be even higher for the Mean Green in 2007. Fortunately there will be plenty of experience returning as seven different linebackers who started at least one game last season are back. Senior Maurice Holman looks poised for a stellar closeout to his career after finishing second on the team in tackles and earning all-conference honors the past two years. Holman has 179 career tackles and is expected to be a vocal leader for the entire defense. Brandon Monroe and former walk-on Derek Mendoza have the most experience of the remaining linebackers and are expected to battle for the remaining two starting positions. The two seniors split time at the same position last year but will benefit by playing beside each other this year. Underclassmen were forced to play a considerable role on a youthful team in 2006, particularly at the linebacker position. With the learning curve out of the way players like Colt Mahan, Tobe Nwigwe and Germaine Dawson will each have the opportunity to make an even bigger impact this season. Mahan made his splash by leading the team in tackles in each of his first two career starts, and Dawson finished in the top five on the team in tackles after earning starts in each of the first 11 games of the year. Dawson’s 54 tackles was the most by a freshman since teammate Brandon Monroe had 62 in 2004. Fellow freshman Nwigwe proved to be a big-play specialist finishing second on the team with seven tackles for a loss while starting all 12 games. Redshirt freshman Craig Robertson has also made a quick impression on the coaches and will battle to be in the two deep.

You are missing the point anyway. The Fry era stylized eagle, aka Flying Worm, was never coming back anyway. The new eagle logo, Son of Worm as some call it, is what we are referring to.

Check you PM

FYI...This is by far the most popular logo North Texas has ever used and was instantly recognizable which is the purpose of a logo, isn't it? Sorry you don't like it, but many would still prefer this being used.

True, true. Folks would be wondering why the Philadelphia Eagles joined the Sun Belt.

Either way, NT has "mailed" it in again in regards to helmet designs.

I understand. UT has the same issue with WT White High School in Dallas, and Texas High in Texarkana.

????????????

So you are telling me that Navy approved that shirt? I think you can work around the CLC with these shirts.

Sorry, but I disagree with a lot of your post, but the above struck me as odd considering why the SAE's were kick off campus and it wasn't for throwing a party.

I look forward to Dodge's offense being installed and the excitement that will bring, but what I really would like to see is a return to the days of having a dominant defense. The team and the fans fed off of the plays Kennedy, Daniels, McIver, Spencer, Casey, Hurd, Buckles, Jones, etc... delivered on each down. Nothing like a big hit, sack or turnover to turn momentum around.

Ever see that crap Tennessee wears? That ain't burnt and it ain't regular.

Didn't give him a chance? How about, "Maybe DD had the right guy at the helm all along but just didn't know how to coach, and neither did his OC."
