I missed most of the game being at work, but as I was walking thru the room the announcers were talking that Johnson had just been injured. They flashed his bio on TV and I saw he was from MT so he got some National exposure.

The scrimmage last Saturday also was orginally scheduled for 7pm but was moved. We should know closer to the weekend, and if it will be at Fouts.

Yes, it's mostly about image; who you beat and who beat you. I'm not saying NT is on a level yet with ut and a$m but we are on a level with more programs than some give us credit for. A few OOC wins would go a long ways towards helping our image!

None that I can find. I think the pre-season Classics have been replaced by the 12-game season.

Not live. Someone posted that Cox may show at replay in La. around 2am.

WRONG. A Major Football Program is NOT determined by conference or by $$. Most think it is just because of who they associate within their conference. Don't believe the media hype. Is Boise Major? Louisville? Akron? Baylor?

Nice site shows week by week all games scheduled and if on TV; how about Tulsa hosting Minn @ 9:15pm CST on the first Thurs night ... College Football TV and time (EST) schedules (by week)

NT over Alumni 6-1

Lineman Thomas to return to practice By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle DENTON – UNT redshirt freshman defensive lineman Isaac Thomas will return to practice within the next few days after recovering from dehydration, coach Darrell Dickey said. Thomas is projected to compete for playing time, but has missed the majority of workouts. The Mean Green lost all four of its starters along its defensive front after last season. Briefly ... Senior offensive lineman Dylan Lineberry missed practice after suffering a minor neck injury in the scrimmage Saturday. Lineberry is not expected to miss more than a few days of practice. ... Coach Darrell Dickey cut practice short because he was pleased with the effort during the scrimmage. ...................................................................................... Defense develops in scrimmage By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle DENTON – The UNT defense bounced back from a rough start to post a solid performance in the first scrimmage of fall practice. The offense scored on three of its first four possessions before the defense came back to post stops on six consecutive series. Coach Darrell Dickey said he was pleased with his defense's ability to bounce back and saw several players beginning to adapt to their new roles. Briefly ... Freshmen Daniel Meager and Matt Phillips, who are battling for the starting quarterback job, worked with the first- and second-team offenses and threw touchdown passes. ... Linebacker Brandon Monroe, one of only three returning defensive starters, missed the scrimmage with a hamstring injury.

We are not 1-AA, D-II, D-III, or JUCO. Only 119 schools play 1-A football. Is Vanderbilt a major program? How about Bowling Green? One is BCS, one is not. One is ranked in the Top 25, one in the Bottom 25. What determines "major"?

Last time I checked North Texas was a major program in Texas and playing 1-A football...

Could Fouts be ready for the next scrimmage?

The words don't seem as visible with the black lettering and white outline, I'd have to see the real thing from a distance.

I was sitting up at the top row under the pressbox then when DD went off on them; it was very clear what he was saying all the way up there... They did seem to play better after that! I agree Kellen Haynes is probably #3, did well with the 2's. My first time to see both Meager and Phillips. Both did well at times and both messed up too. Phillips is bigger physically and Meager seems more mature having been in the system for a year. Both will get better with more reps and do alright in our run based system. No clear starter yet. Was that Branch #34 on offense that scored 65 yards on some nifty moves after a catch? He looked like the Branch of old, a nice weapon if needed. Tidbits: About 200 fans at the scrimmage. The field at Fouts is complete and they should start applying the rubber pellets today. They will take a while to settle completely but the field will be ready for use after the pellets are in, in fact it's better to use it to compress the pellets. The track around the field will be re-painted, the MGC deck will be re-done including a lower level, the stands will be power-washed and new banners hung from the base of the endzone stands. The USAToday edition featuring NT was delivered to 6-8 million hotel doors on Monday morning!

So much for Leach's policies of No transfer to another Texas school or an opponent of Tech. Tech fans owe UNT...they would still have Spike Dykes as coach if it wasn't for us. Wreck Tech!!

It's in far North Denton, you'll see it along Loop 288. thread with map to stadium

Gladly! I wish I knew how to do that photoshop/graphic stuff.

No contest out of the choices. I wish an interlocked NT was one of them.

I was driving north on I-35E in Lewisville just before Hwy 121 when I noticed a large sign (with NT logo) on the west access road to a tool company...note the "NT" logo in the upper left of their main page... NT = Northern Tool ?

OK, I guess now I'll read it. I've decided to wait on the MGR responses before I see the news myself. ........................................................... Agree, much better report; the season is back on again! One Question: Why no news until nearly game day?

hummm....can we help?

Freshman making climb on QB chart 11:41 PM CDT on Thursday, August 18, 2005 By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle DENTON – Freshman quarterback Matt Phillips has moved to second on the depth chart after an impressive performance in practice. Phillips is one of several young players competing for the starting job. He gradually has earned more playing time and worked with the first-team offense Thursday. Redshirt freshman Daniel Meager entered fall practice atop the depth chart but has been limited by a series of injuries, including a pulled hamstring. Phillips has received additional practice time with the first team in place of Meager. .......................................................................................................... "...impressive performance in practice..." Is this based on factual performance or because he's a freshman playing with veterans or just editorial slang for snowjob to LSU?
