That explains the guy that stands in front of us throughout the game. Is that you Objective Aggie?

From experience - Scout will not update their list unless the athlete or school involved sends them something. And even after a contact by the athlete it usually does not get updated.

Louisville did a BLACK OUT

Gramma's had 'tired head' since August, but has gotten a great nights sleep two nights now.

Gramma just wants everyone to enjoy their 'milk and cookies' and appreciate they no longer have to eat sour grapes and drink that funny koolaid

If 'Fake' meant his comment in the context above, then HE needs to come back on and clarify. If above is how he MEANT to quantify, then I apologize for the pointed response. There has been way too much negative vibes from this site in the past months. We all have a 'tired' head. Now is the time to pull together, celebrate a tremendous hire and look forward to the future.

Listened to press conference - very impressed.

Slap in the face to our new coach and our players. UNT will never have as deep a pool of quality of athletes that OU and AR have, but UNT DOES have athletes on this team right now that were nationally ranked and recruited by OU and AR. Now that this team has a quality coach that can implement discipline, execution and whose character will be respected, EXPECT GREAT THINGS!!! IF you are a UNT supporter, then show it. Lose the attitude and start promoting this program to the height that most of us think it deserves.

Recruits will have two big questions: 1. Can you develop players to the next level? 2. Do you have NFL contacts?

This will get your foot in the door with recruits.

I just heard a live interview with RV on Tulsa sports radio. He was very upbeat. Said there would be a gift announcement next week, baseball in the works, study should be back early January re football stadium. When asked about DD, he said it was the hardest thing he's had to do. Tulsa broadcasters finished with 'UNT is the up and coming place to be'. Thank you RV.

HawaiianGreen and Keith7 - You're just bad. We're in TEXAS now Toto ! ! ! Josh and Jason are NOT fan favorites here.

It came as a BIG surprise to most of the current players.

'Green Team' wins this one ! ! !

IF there is an increased attendance, the players will see - FANS IN SUPPORT OF THE TEAM AND COACHING STAFF. A show of respect for those that have given to this program. Remember it will be the last game for those seniors as well.

Lighten up. Ya'll need a little relief from all this ... Who wants to tell Emmitt Smith he is a wussie?????

Vote for Emmitt Emmitt is proving that dancing isn't just for girls and sissy boys. A little relief from ........

We were told this weekend that they were building recreational fields. Does UNT fraternities have an intermural league?

Mitch Mustain, true freshman - University of AR starting QB

You're right. AR probably has verbals from all their key positions already. AR has players from the 2006 graduation class that they have promised scholarships; those 2006 players (if they panned out) get ships from their 2007 allotment mid-term. If you watch their recruiting, they always promise more ships than they are allotted - thus walkon situations every year.

An excerpt from a coaches monthly newletter letter: In former UCLA coach John Wooden’s renowned ‘Pyramid of Success’, he describes integrity as “purity of intent.’ People with pure intentions do not compromise or waver from their core values. Their work is good; they take responsibility for all choices; their actions reflect their standards; and they can be trusted. Individuals and teams of integrity do what is right, and stand by their decisions regardless of the consequences or cost. Integrity is tested most when individuals are caught off guard and experience times of either fortune or misfortune. A key point in this regard is how do you respond when you think no on is watching? As we prepare to make our play off run, let’s keep in mind the three guiding principles that every championship team must possess. 1. Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is both powerful and contagious. It provides the energy for our athletes to be better workers which will produce better players. It is very difficult to excel in anything without the optimism enthusiasm provides. 2. Work Habits. Success is always a by-product of the work ethic of our team. When hard work becomes the covenant and standard of our team nothing can stand in our way. 3. Preparation. Teams that practice correctly tend to develop the feeling of “we are prepared for anything, and we can count on each other.” True confidence comes from great preparation. One day at a time, one practice at a time and one play at a time is how we will continue to be a successful team. I am so proud of our Trojan players and coaches and I want to encourage each of you to get behind these great men and build them up and encourage them at every opportunity you have. We have a great opportunity to win another state championship and we can certainly accomplish some great things with all of us pulling together. Let’s pull together more than ever and bring the gold ball back home. Yours in Trojan Pride Sincerely: Coach Trimble FYI : Head coach 10 years, record 120 - 12 , 9 state championships jenkstrojanfootball.com

Have a happy halloween

You obviously haven't been reading this forum for the past couple of months. Shredding tickets, mailing tickets back to the ahtletic office, boycotting games, pulling financial support, etc..... actions in support of the players?
