They may be confident but look at how they did in their last game. They put it on Rice in a bowl game. After the bowl win against Cincy, I'm sure a great deal of the Mean Green nation was drinking the same koolaid as the Trojans.

I like '68-'71 the best. My second choice would be the current helmet.

Maybe something to do with trojans? I can't remember that Adam's mascot. Anybody?

They are probably due by then because Wednesday is when the away game tickets go on sale to students.

No worries mate, we threw Captain Dickey overboard before the ship sank.

I don't believe they have very much class either. They constantly bash the value of our degrees and say we go to school just to mow their lawns. Classless if you ask me.

I wonder how early he'll get playing time at Okie State? He'd start as a freshman here. He could go the way of Awasome and Spencer.

I'll go 13 max and 5 minimum.

Awesome! I can record the game while I'm in Norman and come home and watch it agani like I did the Texas game last year.

Haha, no doubt.

Gotcha. It makes it harder to get to the game for those of us that work on Saturdays though.

Why did they switch some of the home games to the afternoon instead of the evening? Those metal bleachers get awfully hot.

haha, wow

The guy squats 500lbs at 16-17yrs old. Give him a year to grow, he'll be fine.

I was just looking through facebook and checked Johnny's page to see if there was any news on the Bills. He has an album which is titled Buffalo Bills and he has pictures of the practice facility and stadium in there. He also has some pics of him out and about and the part that makes me proud is that he has graduated and is thousands of miles away and he still wears North Texas gear in public. He is the man! It's good to be green.

The greatest high school running back I saw in person was Tellis Redmon from Grapevine/Colleyville fame. I played for Coppell so we met on the field. The greatest HS back I saw in person was a quarterback and that was Odell James of Aldine Macarthur. That guy was amazing.

Is it too much to dream of a coach that stays with one program throughout its rise to the top, retires from that program a legend, and lives forever in college football lore? I'll continue to dream of RoboCoach who is not tempted by bright lights, big conference, big money. I know it's corny movie stuff but everyone has their own dreams.

How many Mean Green faithful do you think has the means to go to more than one MWC away game? How about the CUSA away games? The shortest 4 CUSA distances could be day trips, only TCU for the MWC. There was a mistake in my original data as I failed to include TCU. Even with TCU included now, the CUSA schedule still has a shorter avg driving distance of 4.5 hours and 320 miles. Go to San Diego and Colorado for vacation but most students can't afford to make a trip like that more than once a year, much less 5 times in 3 months.

I think you guys have forgotten how big west Texas is. There is only 1 MWC school within 600 miles of us, TCU. CUSA has 6, UH, Memphis, Rice, SMU, Tulane, and Tulsa. If we have any desire for away game attendance, CUSA would be the way to go. Personally I would be willing to go to CUSA away games at Tulsa, SMU, Tulane, Rice and UH for sure. In the MWC, only TCU. The average distance between Denton and MWC schools is 15.375 hrs or 1035 miles. The average distance between Denton and CUSA schools is only 9.18 hrs or 604 miles.

This has got to be my all-time biggest gripe about home games, that and the sorry speakers the cheerleaders used that were nothing but static and noise. My buddy and I were going to do just that until we lost all momentum by daring to criticize the Talons.

You can't focus on students and still conduct research? Or perhaps involve the students in the research?

That is not entirely accurate. These are two instances that occurred just this year. Also, there were 8 coaches hired by other schools before the position's 30 days were up. Your evidence DD was fired November 8 meaning we couldn't hire someone until December 8. If you wait until November 27th, the Monday after the last game, you cannot hire Dodge until December 27th and you miss out on the North Texas publicity during the HS playoffs

B-by far

Couldn't agree more

Boy I guess you were right, those non-scholarship non-qualifiers really helped that perfect season and a win in the Fiesta Bowl. Could it have anything to do with heart and an unconventional coach? The NQs have to fund themselves and make the same grades as everyone else at the college level. What is the problem?
