i hate being so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Former Ryan standout Greg Garden is headed back to Denton to play for his hometown team once again -- only this time it will be at the college level. Garden spent the last year at the Naval Academy but confirmed on Sunday night that he is transferring to North Texas to play safety. The 5-11, 187-pound two-time all-district selection with the Raiders was among three players who said over the weekend that they intended to spend their college careers at UNT. More here Link

I'm still concerned about our 3 point line defense. Everyone seems to hit like crazy against us, which makes it that much harder to win games.

and kicking

Uh, yeah. General admission tickets aren't really on sale yet.

For what it's worth regarding attendance, I've heard from one person that we've already sold more tickets already for this upcoming season than ever before in UNT's history.

Yep, I think we're better this year for sure. Last year, we wouldn't have had a courtside monitor by now even

We, uh, kind of own the game b/c we (the SBC), uh, kind of started it.

Big win for the men's team. I was not expecting much after the NO game (considering they had just barely beaten Lala) and I was very pleasantly surprised by the outcome. My concern now, which I hope is unfounded, is that the team is starting to play to the level of their competition.

Looks nice guys. A very nice upgrade indeed.

Dodge, a former Texas quarterback, has coached Carroll to a 77-1 record in Texas' highest classification. The Dragons have won 46 consecutive games and are two wins from their third straight state title and fourth in five years. They have a 50-game regular-season winning streak and are the only school to win a state title in their first year in Class 5A. . . . The Dragons have been generating that kind of buzz for a several years with their four-receiver, no-huddle spread offense, also known as "Dodge Ball." But Dodge is confident that the excitement he created in the high school ranks can be brought to North Texas because of the wealth of recruiting talent in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "I think this will be a team the metroplex will embrace," Dodge said. "I want this to be a team people will be excited to come out and watch play." If the hiring of a high school coach to run a Division I program raises questions, it won't be the first time Dodge's credentials were scrutinized. He had a losing record as a head coach when he started at Carroll, which won a state-record 72 straight regular-season games in smaller classifications from 1986-94. Dodge lost his first three games, but he's 96-8 since. The latest triggerman -- Dodge's son, Riley -- has the Dragons rolling along at 14-0 heading into the Class 5A Division II semifinals Saturday against Allen. He will now have a different coach for his senior season next year, but the family won't have to move. Dodge's new office will be about 20 miles north of his old one, and his decision will raise questions about a possible reunion in college. Todd Dodge will coach Carroll through its playoff run, and Riley Dodge will remain at Carroll to play his senior season. Riley Dodge's two predecessors landed at Division I schools, highlighted by Chase Daniel, the Missouri starter who led the Tigers to a 6-0 start and will play in the Brut Sun Bowl in El Paso in a couple weeks. Riley Dodge is projected as one of the state's top quarterback prospects for the 2008 recruiting season, according to Jeremy Crabtree of rivals.com. "I'm going to continue weighing my options," Riley Dodge said. "There are a couple of schools I've been looking at. But North Texas has to be way up there now."

Nah, I would just post as me. Just been really busy and doing a lot of just glancing at the board lately. I will say though that, "dirt" is relative. Everybody has "dirt" on somebody and somebody likely has "dirt" on you. But, generally, who cares? Anyway, hope to see some of you at the game this weekend.

He was playing in Canada last year and thinking about Europe this year.

Man, I somehow forgot to mention this one. We've been working on it for a while, but it's quite a coup for us, imho and others too. http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/basketball/14103385.htm James camping at UNT The University of North Texas pulled a major coup Tuesday when it was announced Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James will hold a basketball camp for boys and girls at its campus this summer. The camp, scheduled for June, will be for kids ages 8 through 18. "It's going to be fun," James said before Tuesday's game against the Mavs. "I feel like I should help kids with the ages from 8 to 18. James will be assisted by coaches from around the country and celebrity guests.

So it appears the SLC will be making at least twice as much as the SBC in NCAA tourney revenue for this year. . . .

NCAA committee has always worked with the theory that seeds can be shifted up or down one, as necessary, to maintain balance based on locations, scheduling requirements (BYU - I believe they always get a Thursday/Saturday bracket if they are in), etc.

Davis and Watson both had six 3-pointers! http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...0&ATCLID=242814

The team has an outside shot at finishing tied for second in the division

Interesting read. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2337810

Oh just imagine the taunting that goes with: 1. Eno-obong Odong

That's not just That's

Watching too much late night tv, eh?

LOL I just got this mental image of a mix between Fast and the Furious and the Mean Green football team.

TJ is taking an insane number of hours this semester and has to pass them all.
