Especially if you go to class and take care of business:) A great example is Nick Baz:)

The current plan calls for construction to begin toward the end of this year so that it will be in place by the Summer.

a) Yes. b ) No. A separate baseball stadium will be built next to the softball field, as has been planned. . . .

I really don't see the point in this thread. It seems that a lot of people are just speaking out in frustration at this point. I am sure the players and their parents are frustrated too. This thread doesn't have anything to do with how the players are performing, how the coaches are performing or what can be done to help this team do better, which is something we know they are capable of. The thread just comes across as a rant, imho. We all know this team has talent. We just want that talent to show, whether it be by the coaches playing to the strengths of the team, the team coming together and playing smart football or the wind blowing a few mph one direction or the other. In any event, they're still our team.

They're just trying to give people money these days. . . .

It will be completed, but I seriously doubt we'll get a home game.

My cynical side asks what happened the last time we were asked for input. As I recall, the input was all stuffed away in a corner and they did what "they" wanted to anyway.

What about the fake draw!?

We will see the third coming of Michael Vick, just not at UNT

What!?

Plus, you're likely to see more scoring

I don't think you're going to get answers regarding those types of issues/rumors in writing from anyone.

Just 7 for LaTech? They must really suck!

Brett must have been up late:)

We're #118! We're #118! We're #118!

Mean Green Picks Up 13-10 Comeback Victory Over FIU Courtesy: University of North Texas Release: 10/15/2005 MIAMI, Fla. (10/15/05) – The North Texas football team snapped a three-game skid with a 13-10 comeback victory over Florida International on Saturday at FIU Stadium in a Sun Belt Conference game. The Mean Green improved to 2-3 overall and 2-1 in league play, while the Golden Panthers fell to 1-4 overall and 0-2 in conference action. North Texas trailed 10-6 late in the third quarter, but Johnny Quinn caught a touchdown pass from Daniel Meager that gave the Mean Green the lead and ended up being the game-winning score. NT’s defense was able to hold the Golden Panthers scoreless the rest of the way as the Mean Green escaped with the three-point win. "We knew coming into this game that it was going to be a dogfight and it was a very tough win,” said North Texas head coach Darrell Dickey. “We battled hard and made just enough plays to get a win.” Florida International started the scoring with a 25-yard field goal from Adam Moss with 6:13 left to play in the first quarter. The Golden Panthers tacked on seven more points with a touchdown pass from Josh Padrick to Samuel Smith with 1:13 remaining in the opening quarter that made the score 10-0. Nick Bazaldua hit two field goals for North Texas in the second quarter that made the score 10-6 at halftime. NT’s Patrick Cobbs rushed for a game-high 112 yards on 27 carries to pace the North Texas offense that finished with 226 total yards. Quarterback Daniel Meager threw for just 79 yards, but completed 10-of-15 passes with one touchdown. The Golden Panthers finished the game with 322 yards of offense, 96 more than North Texas, but the Mean Green defense forced eight FIU turnovers. That is the most turnovers ever recorded by a North Texas team under head coach Darrell Dickey. "I thought our defense played well, and the offense stayed on the field a little longer in spells to help keep them fresh,” said Dickey. “Our intensity was a little lacking at the beginning of the game but we fought back and I am proud of the way we came from behind.”

Box score shows 15 penalties for 146 yards! http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/...0051015_NTX@FIU

North Texas 13, Florida International 10 Oct. 15, 2005 MIAMI (AP) - Daniel Meager found Johnny Quinn on a 7-yard scoring pass to give North Texas the lead, and Florida International missed a late field goal in the Mean Green's 13-10 win on Saturday night. FIU (1-4, 0-2 Sun Belt) had a chance to tie the game, but kicker Adam Moss missed a 42-yard field goal wide left with 1:12 remaining to seal the win for North Texas (2-3, 1-1). Meager, who just passed for just 79 yards on 10-of-15 passing, hit Quinn on a short slant pattern to cap a three-play, 23-yard drive with 1:59 left in the third quarter. A Golden Panthers fumble by Josh Padrick that was recovered by Mean Green nose tackle Maurice Holman helped set up the drive. FIU set school single game records for most turnovers with eight and fumbles lost with six. Patrick Cobbs rushed for 112 yards on 27 carries for North Texas. Julian Reams rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries for FIU. Reams replaced starter Ben West, who was suspended for violating team policy. Padrick threw two interceptions, was 20-of-32 for 243 yards, and threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Samuel Smith in the first quarter. Smith had eight receptions for 98 yards. Moss hit a 25-yard field goal for FIU, and North Texas kicker Nick Bazaldua made two, from 20 and 41 yards out.

It's actually quite good. . . .

Mean Green seeks scores, QB to compliment playmaking backs and receivers Rain Johnson October 11, 2005 After four games, the Mean Green has three offensive touchdowns and eight turnovers, while averaging a Sun Belt worst 198.2 yards per game To date, the Mean Green offense is not just unproductive, it is all but nonexistent. Youth is playing a key role in NT’s inability to move the ball, but how long can a team continue to use that excuse? After four games, it appears most of the Mean Green’s youthful positions has at least, somewhat figured it out. The offensive line has eliminated many costly penalties that plagued the offense earlier in the season. Both the kickoff specialist and punter have overcome their youth, granted those positions may not be as daunting of a task as other positions. The defense is still bend–don’t–break, but it finds a way to get the job done. But the Mean Green quarterback position continues to struggle. The offense is averaging only 96 passing yards per game, including a 59-yard effort against Tulsa. Part of being a freshman is continuing to grow from game to game and improve. Thus far, NT redshirt freshman quarterback Daniel Meager has shown little improvement, at least statistically. During the Mean Green’s last game, Meager set a season best for passing yards, but also had three turnovers, two interceptions and one fumble. To Meager’s credit, he did have several nice passes against Troy that were dropped by his receivers. But that does not make up for his overthrow to Brandon Jackson on a wide receiver screen, or throwing into double coverage. The NT offense is at an all–time low. The sad thing is that it has the best group of wide receivers in Dickey’s tenure, and the best running backs in the school’s history. With the quarterback position constantly bringing those groups down, a team should at the very least explore other options at the position, starting with true freshman Matt Phillips. It will be hard for Phillips to do any worse than Meager. Under Meager, time and time again, receivers have blown past opposing secondaries only to have to grab a ball thrown poorly. What good is that group of receivers if you cannot get the ball downfield to them? The worst that could happen if Phillips played would be that he throws poorly, too. But at least then, you know that for a fact. Maybe Phillips will get the ball over the defense, then you have established a down–the–field threat, and opponents will stop bringing their safeties so far up to stop the run. In his limited time on the field, Phillips has shown the ability to find receivers. He does have the team’s only touchdown pass on the season (25-yard pass to Johnny Quinn late in the Kansas State game), and he has completed two of his three pass attempts. What does the team have to lose? A conference game?

The last two games we were favored to win (Tulsa and Troy) didn't go so well. . . .

NT favored by 4. That seems just a bit sad considering we're playing provisional FIU.

so what will our OOC record be this year. . . .

Yes, yes, do tell. I have no idea where you were going with that
