Can sign 12/20-22, so through Friday. Then wait until February. -
Kason Martin representing UNT last night on tv
GreenBacker replied to cjones's topic in Mean Green Football
Watching Denton Ryan v Highland Park on TV and announcers gave UNT some great pub talking about the two quality quarterbacks who are committed to us. -
I remember them announcing shortly after the uniform reveal at the beginning of the year that all the coaches were going to travel in “jumpman” gear. Not sure if there’s a specific agreement there, or if that’s just what they chose to purchase.
-
Is that Reffett on crutches at the 10 second mark? Anyone know what happened?
-
Vito posted on the blog that he had committed...then changed it to the current story about 15 minutes later.
-
He retracted to now say holding off to announce his commitment 😕

https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/12/5/16739736/smu-chad-morris-arkansas-head-coach-report I think his Texas ties and recruiting are much more of the equation than his coaching record at SMU.

If it helps even a little to get the fee passed, it’s a success. Would be a big moment killer if it fails, but nice shot in the arm of it passes.

Agree. Expected a lot more. It was amost all students and not a ton of them.

My wife is taking some masters classes, so we took the fam to the pep rally tonight. Had some giveaways, announced $10 tickets for students, and a package for first 160 students with bus, ticket, and hotel room with one other person for $60. Good deal. This pep rally though really was all about getting in front of the students to talk about the fee after giving away free stuff and cheap tickets. Great move. Wren basically said that if everyone there would vote yes, that it would pass. Hope they all did.

Bowl News...Will We Know Today?
GreenBacker replied to MattMakesLoans's topic in Mean Green Football
Great game. Troy drives to score with under 30 seconds to win. A State gave away a ton of points and may be the better team. They keep saying that Appalachian State will be co-champions. Anyone know the tiebreaker rules to determine the bowl bid? Either way will not be an easy W in New Orleans. -
We were -18.5 underdogs. UTA’s only loss is to #25 (at the time) Alabama by 1. We coulda should woulda won this game and that’s after losing another ball handler to injury and having a crazy amount of touch fouls called. Also on the road with a decent crowd there for UTA. Cross has been building his program for years and does a great job there. We are young and don’t shoot well, but it’s obvious this program is headed in a better direction under McCasland. We lose this game by 20 with Benford.

I think this is a factor. Cold will have more of an impact on teams that throw more.

CBS 11 Live in Denton with Coach Littrell

Fox 4 and WFAA with coverage tonight according to Twitter. -

-
Tech muffs a punt and gives UTSA the ball inside their 20...UTSA immediately throws a pick in the end zone.
-
Well they get my vote for the ones left at home. So many bowls in the Texas though...I could see them getting in because of a closer fan base.
-
Tech gets ball to start the second half. Man I wish UTSA would have lost last week.

DRC: Nic Smith ready to step into spotlight
GreenBacker replied to Brett Vito's topic in Mean Green Football
Someone send a while back that they thought he was academically ineligible this semester. -
Went to their concert in Carrollton last month. Actually still pretty good.

I’ve been to most games and all bowl games since 2001. I’m assuming that you think the board only wants positive opinions...in general, yes I’m sure they’d love for the overall culture to be positive. That’s seems to make sense to me. I have also seen plenty of people disagree with Dickey, Dodge, Mac, and RV that has been allowed and also contributed to by many members on this board. I certainly worry about recruiting as well, especially on the defensive side of the ball, as I was entering the season. It’s also possible to be wrong. I highly doubt you (or myself) believed we would be 8-3 at this point in the year, yet here we are. Recruiting rankings tell us we shouldn’t be here, yet Seth’s history tells us his offenses take off in year two. So far his scheme, development and evaluation of talent has gotten us ahead of the averages a bit, and hopefully can turn the tide in recruiting. I just think it’s possible to disagree and be less decisive. I haven’t seen too many won over to the “this won’t last because recruiting sucks” side. In general people don’t tend to agree with someone when their being told they’re dumb. Hence why we’ve had basically the same ongoing debate over and over in various formats over the last few years. “Is” permanent?

So, I don’t post here as much as many of you, but have been coming back more with the great season and the tone of this board improving. You may be happy, but man, it’s awfully hard to believe you are as happy as anyone. Word’s tend to reflect feelings and most words you use to describe UNT are not synonymous with happiness. Again, in my little time here, I’ve heard this multiple times. How many times can you say the same thing and expect people to still believe you?

Anyone have a link to the video of the hit?
-
Derek was there last night. I’ve seen him at several games this year.

They fumbled. UAB up 24-13 with 8:30 left.
