The "Village" is the football field-sized section of green just to the left of Fouts, and bordered on the top by a small section of the parking lot. The "Village" consists of various groups and organizations (and some businesses) that set up tents on the outside edge of the "Village". Since it was (and may still be) a practice field, the tents would be on the sidelines and endzone sections. The parking area that borders the top of the village is the (former) Orange parking lot........where all the cool people tailgate.

There is an article in this mornings ST with Steve Austin. Dave Thomas asks him specifically about his interest in North Texas football, and hints to him that he might want to contribute to a new stadium. I can't find the on-line link to the story. Answers? 1. He only follows North Texas football as long as the football score crawls across the ESPN screen. His main memories of his playing days was North Texas regularly getting it's ass kicked. 2. He just purchased a ranch in South Texas, so he has no disposable income to contribute to the stadium. I think that everyone that has been wishing and hoping that "Stone Cold" will become involved in the program, can just focus on someone else now.

This reminds me of any episode of "America's funniest home videos", where it must be a rule that you must have at least one "guy-hit-in-the-crotch" video.

Speaking of former recruits that were placed at a CC. What ever happened to Devin Godbolt who finished his HS career at Liberty Christian.

Well, in situations like this I always think of Brian Waters. He must have had much more raw talent than I remembered, because he played two or three different positions while he was at North Texas...........none of them OG. I believe that he's still all-pro at that position. http://www.kcchiefs.com/player/brian_waters/ Did I mention that he never played OG at North Texas? If Mr. Lineberry has the appropriate level of motivation to make it, I'm confident that he will.

If Danny looked better in the spring than he did all of last year, (IMHO) it's not because of the offense, it's because he now has a REAL coach.

Considering that in the last two years MANY PEOPLE have expressed an interest (in one way or another) in the Exes logo, I wonder why flags were ordered and they didn't anticipate that someone might want to buy one?

Well, we could always play the North Texas GMG version of...... SPOT THE LOONEY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyfirCjSlpk

I'll be anxious to see how Roberson does against D-1 DB's in fall practice. He needs to get hit by those guys, early and often. After that we'll know if he has more than " great potential". I'm crossing my fingers that he will be another player from a small HS (like Jamario) who makes a real impact his freshman year.

I wish all of that rain in Denton had moved a few miles north and dumped into Lake Ray Roberts.

Instead of reading the aforementioned a$$whipping threads, I'm going fishing at every opportunity.

So how does anyone assess a play like that? Is JMO not his old self, or is Montey Stevenson showing us what a force he's going to be this fall? I choose the latter.

That's true. At the most, Zero-U will send us 5K tickets. A small amount will be availabe for students, but the majority will be for MGC/ season ticket holders.

Overall the whole team seemed more pumped for this scrimmage. QB's Meager looked the best of all of them, although he still has a tendency to try and force his throws sometimes. He settled down after a while and did fine. I didn't like Wilson starting off by running, but before the day was over he was a pretty close second to Meager in his overall performance. He's not the most accomplished ball handler, but he slowed some pretty good touch on some of his passes. I agree with Zeke that Tune seems to have regressed some......for that matter I thought that Phillips has too. I rank them this way going into fall practice, 1. Meager, 2. Wilson, 3. Tune 3a. Phillips. That pass catch by Fitzgerald where the DB rolled him over the top and Fitz's feet never touch the ground was fantastic. It showed a lot of "heads-up" by Fitz. He's going to make plays any way he can. This guy is hungry and it's going to take a lot to keep him out of the WR rotation this fall. Our D-line rush was awsome today. I'm not worried at all about out defense this fall.

Date: Sunday, April 22 Time: 3 pm kickoff Parking: Parking at Fouts Field will be free. Admission is FREE, Enter through Gate 1 - Free Rosters and game information will be distributed at Gate 1. Seating: Fans are encouraged to sit on the West Side of Fouts Field. Tailgating: Starts Early, Ends Late - The Fouts Field parking lot will be open all weekend for Tailgaters to begin preparation for the Spring Game. RV's, Campers, Tents, Tables, Chairs and Grills are all welcome in the Fouts Field parking lot. "Live Entertainment: Live music will begin at 1 pm. Performance by local favorite King Creole. The stage will be located outside of the Mean Green Village." I'm guessing that this is the band that they're talking about.

I would park where the tailgating is going to take place and then ride the shuttle bus to the stadium.

I can't remember. Is the word "ample" in that song too?

When we played ULL the year that they installed their spead offense, they did that to us on every play.

That would be a good beginning. From there I would consider a QB "efficient" if he was able to consider at least two or three options before he threw it away. I consider it "efficient" when a QB isn't responsible for lost yardage.

Hopefully this is where "Lefty" can help out. I assume that he still has connections out there.

SOW

And they only did it once? Besides shirts, the design would be great to embrodier onto a black leather jacket. As a MGC member, I'd buy one of those before I'd buy one of those parkas that they sell to MGC members.

And while we are on the subject of shirts. I've always wanted to produce a North Texas shirt using this classic Harley Davidson design. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/l...ms_1941_7955059 My idea would be to put "North Texas" where the Harley-Davidson is, and "Mean Green" in place of "Motor Cycles".

The "battle flag" has never been trademarked. I'm guessing that they are just putting the CLC hologram on it to justify the absurd price that they are charging for it. American Dream Flag will make you one for a much more reasonable price......and use more durable material in the process.

You are correct about the primary point that I was making. However, I'm more than hopeful about winning. In fact, I will almost guarantee it. Coach Dodge is the kind of coach/teacher/mentor that instills tons of confidence in his players. This almost always leads to wins.....lots of them.
