Green2012

When I watch the time lapse video something weird starts happening to me. Then the turf is shown and its really weird. Should I be concerned?

Just wanted to go ahead and post some other news just in case we didn't know. For those who didn't know already

What would generate more publicity for the university? A helmet that is boring and says North Texas or a helmet that has a SOW on the side?

What a schnoz on that one.

Throw back game would be cool. We can't have one though because other colleges do that already and our throwback colors are no longer our official colors making them illegal for uniform wear.

Mannnnnn you cant just still my thunder lol! Shoss, what about the STROS!

True, what worries me most is experience. And we lost some valuable experience last year mostly on our O and D lines. I have no doubt that our coaches will do a great job making them hungry all off season for a win. Hopefully we can actually translate that into wins and not just some hooplah.

Now that the spring semester is over with my countdown on google has begun for September 1, 2011. With the continuous off season talk on the message board regarding conference realignments, uniforms, etc., I think I'll try and change it up a little. I think we all grew somewhat tired of UNT's version of the spread relatively quickly. While effective at many collegiate schools, our potential with the spread was hindered by a gun shy O.C. for 3 years. I think we can all agree that began to change as Coach Chico turned us into a more versatile offense with new formations, motion, plays, and a new vision to take risks for higher reward. The running game also became much more productive. With a new coaching staff in place and even more allowance to Coach C to run the Offense, what play do you expect to see when the offense gets the ball for the first time in 2011? Here's my dream scenario to kick start the new season. We come out in the spread (5 wide) with a tightend as one slot receiver, a full back as the other, and our tailback as the outside receiver. At the quarterback's motion, we shift into the 'I' formation and go under center. From there we snap the ball with the left guard and tackle pulling. Left guard blows up the right end and the left tackle gets up on the mike linebacker making a hole so big the parting of the red sea turned out to be overrated. That to me would say "Its wide open and we're gonna run it up your arse." I just want to see a more physical team and I think Coach Mac seems to want that to. I think Derek is more than capable of being a good gun-slinging QB this year, but I'd like to see us play more hard-nosed football this season.

expect green helmets with a white face mask

How can anyone not like black? It looks sharp! Yes I know, I know, its not an official color. Teams have black on their uniforms all the time even though its not their official color. 817Fan, that looks awesome. I think it'd be a great alternate jersey. However, our new uniforms are much simpler. Maybe in the future we can have one like that to accompany our new ones?!

pics or it didn't happen

Well, minus a black chin strap, some possible black on the cleats, and a generic mouthpiece, it looks like you'll get your wish.

I forsee the uni's being much simpler. less flash. just a vision I had.

thought they were all kinda weak. let the minus ones ensue that's fine. Was facebook the only marketing tool? I'm not sure how they plan on implementing the winner but i feel like there are some better pictures out there.

Its a cost thing. Just like p1 said there is already wiring for a video ribbon board to be installed but the money isn't there yet to purchase.

cl is right. The uback and tightend however are almost always on the field at the same time and I cant think of a time when they aren't. I hope to see the uback featured in alot of bootleg type plays this year. I think some added motion with the uback when we are in the I and throw in a bootleg will really help us get the ball into the flats or deep drags depending on the direction the play is designed to go.

uniforms and helmets will both be new designs. Looking forward to the GMG crew response on the unis. should be a very eventful day on the message board
