In 1980 Malcom Jones (listed as 5'6" X 150 in the 1978 press guide), gained 1144 yards. Malcom Jones was the third back in NT History to gain 1000 yards. In the 2005 press guide Carlen Charleston ( who was all of 5'5" X 155 lbs) was listed as tied for the #7 position in career all-purpose yards with 2997 total yrds.

I dunno dude, but If I didn't have such a cool avatar myself I would be very envious. ...the dude abides.

How long did it take for SMU to have Ford Stadium built.....in a land-locked location. Rice/Eccles Stadium (Salt Lake City) was built in one year, in a land-locked location in a city that has real winters. The proposed location for our stadium is not land-locked and construction would be pretty unencumbered. A little over a year at the most.

well, after all heck broke loose at TDC, he problably did lose something

Oh, I dunno...maybe puttting a team on the field that actually tries to win EVERY GAME! Here's another crazy thought. How about having a coaching staff that is actually glad to be at North Texas and looks forward to connecting with the fans/alumni...

UNT FOOTBALL NOTES UNT's spring dates set By TROY PHILLIPS Star-Telegram Staff Writer North Texas coach Todd Dodge said Thursday that dates for his program's first spring football workouts are nearly set. UNT's spring practice will open March 13 and end with the spring game at 3 p.m. April 22. UNT is on spring break March 19-23, and practice likely will resume the following week. In the past few days, Dodge said he had seen his players in off-season conditioning for the first time. His first team meeting was last week, and he'll sign his first recruiting class Feb. 7. Tight end decisions Entering the spring, UNT has more tight ends (at least five) than wide receivers on scholarship. With the spread offense Todd Dodge is installing, it's no surprise that six high school wideouts have committed to the Mean Green. Another, Evan Fentriss, has already transferred from Rice. "We have to evaluate our flexibility on offense," Dodge said. "It might be to our advantage to use tight end sets." Dodge won't rule out moving some tight ends to other positions. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that we can use more receivers," he said. Muzzy on hold Todd Dodge said receiver Zach Muzzy is pursuing a fifth year of eligibility. Muzzy, who graduates in May, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the fourth game of the 2003 season on UNT's first kickoff return. UNT is asking the NCAA to waive its 20-percent rule that denies medical hardships to injured players who appeared in more than 20 percent of a team's games in a season. Technically, Muzzy played in 30 percent of UNT's 13 games in 2003. Muzzy's scheduled degree, good grades and his lack of a redshirt year could factor into the decision. Lewis leaves After less than a month on the job, UNT defensive ends coach Derek Lewis resigned this week to become tight ends coach at Minnesota. Lewis, a former tight end at Texas, was coached there in 1998 by Tim Brewster, Minnesota's new head coach and a former tight ends coach with the Longhorns. Spring game on a Sunday afternoon? Not a bad idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troy Phillips, 817-390-7760 tphillips@star-telegram.com

Meager to WR and Tune to DB? I have to respectfully disagree. Both of those guys can play QB, and with some real coaching/teaching they are going to be great. Mr. Vizza will have his work cut out for him this fall in trying to move ahead of those two. BTW, my wife wants to know if "Don Dodge" made Giovanni Vizza an offer he couldn't refuse.

I am assuming that you're saying no to the TE question. If that is the case, are you saying that he needs to get speed to play in the OL? or at WR? If there are no TE's in the offense, then there are several athletes on the North Texas team that have a decision to make. Most notably; Bryant Seidle TE, 6-3 X 230 fr. Victor Gill TE 6-5 X 235 Fr. David Collins, 6-4 X 220 Fr. Draylen Ross played some TE early in the season, but he's still listed as a DE in the 11-04-06 game program. Also, what about the FB's on the team. Keronna Henderson and Ryan Davenport? Does the TD/Ford offense have FB's in it?

........ My only comment is this. Since Scoggins made it clear that he wanted to play TE in college (which is why he was attracted to Iowa St.) why has he changed his mind about NT? Has the coaching staff promised him a shot at TE. Does TD's (and Fords) offense even have a TE?

Well, I certainly hope so. I get real tired of the debate/discussion about mascot/nickname and who we are really. We are both! I never understood why it was such a hard concept for people to understand.

He can bust his arse all he wants, but if the OL isn't busting their collective arse's first, he's going to have the same results as last year. I have a feeling that we are going to have a lot of renewed spirit/arse-busting on this team.....starting this spring.

Well, that might be. But most of the time...make that all the time, I don't comb those lists, ......and neither do most of the 90k+ alumni in the D/FW area. They look at the local lists (as do the local recruits, their parents and coaches) and see at a glance that North Texas is not getting any commitments from local talent. That's a "buzz killer" any way you look at it. It leads to a lack of interest from the fan base, because they think that no player of any ability in the D/FW area is interested in North Texas. For the first time since Hayden Fry, that has now changed.

I feel confident in saying that we've never had that many top 100 players commit to NT. In fact, I always felt fortunate if anyone from the local 50 made a commitment.

Okay, if the guy has graduated from his JC, then I would think he could enroll at North Texas and at least walk-on at Spring practice. This is either a strange situation or strangly reported in the first place.

You don't rush for 1,119 yards for a 5-A play-off school with 5.0 speed. For that matter, you don't play Linebacker for a 5-A play-off school with that kind of speed, .....and you don't play safety either. I'm sure 5.0 is a mistake.

I've seen Texas (and other University's) gear sold all over the metroplex. I can say with confidence that almost none of it was UA gear. I'm sure the brand was something like Russell or some other mid-priced supplier. My point? I would rather have a reasonably priced line of NT gear, that also looked good, spread ALL OVER the metroplex, than the latest "cool" supplier with limited distribution. The more I save on the gear, the more I have to give directly to the University.

I've been hollaring "Where's the Beef". However, I'm going to operate on the assumption that TD (and staff) have evaluated the current talent on our team, and are going after recruits that they feel will fill the greatest "need" area. Since we have not heard about a lot of OL and DL recruits that they are going after, I am assuming that TD (and staff) feel that the current group of OL's and DL's will get the job done this year.

They need to find another Sean Payton.

Well, that was my experience as well. All I did was yell "we're getting out-coached" at a group of coaches, and for some reason, one of them thought that it was all about him.

Lovie Smith! That has to be the Big Sandy version of "A Boy Named Sue". I can't imagine trying to grow up in a small town with a name like that. BTW, does anyone know where Mr. Smith played college ball?

Ok, anyone have any idea about Somerville's mascot.....the YEGUAS. In spanish, I think that it means Mare, but their school's web-site is full of Indian symbols.

Thank you. Since my father and his younger brother graduated from Texarkana HS, I know where Atlanta Tx. is. I also know that their mascot is the Jackrabbits. This mornings Star-Telegram report said that Mr. Davis was from Atlanta Ga...........I should have known.
