So very true. Look what SMU alums are spending to be relevant again, but to be relevant as a P5 school—not a G5 school. UNT’s Indoor Practice Facility is a priceless jewel inside the Mean Green Village, but the NCAA Rules Committee has so screwed things up since UNT opened the IPF it’s not even funny.

Watching Army beat UTSA last week in the AlamoDome would certainly change a few minds. Their new Offense Coordinator has revolutionized the Black Knights offense. One of the best Game Days ever in Denton since I’ve been a fan (starting in 1972) was when Army came to DATCU Stadium in 2018(?). Army brought a few thousand fans that day & the Mean Green won with a last second field goal.

AAC Commissioner Aresco probably knew once we were invited SMU probably already had one of their social-climbing queen’s leg out the AAC door & he for sure did not want the MWC grabbing UNT to have a Texas presence. I liked the NCAA better when it was not all about politics & amateur-killing NIL & the “too easy to transfer” portal. QUESTION: How are the 6 UNT lost to the portal faring thus far in 2023 (even though the season is still young)? GMG!

NO MORE TEXAS SCHOOLS IN THE AMERICAN, PLEASE. DON’T WE REMEMBER HOW THAT WAS A PROBLEM WITH SOME IN THE SWC? UT-AUSTIN DROPOUTS & FLUNK OUTS NEED THE SAN MARCOS SCHOOL—THE AAC DOES NOT. IF WE GET THE BLACK KNIGHTS, ARMY WILL BE MORE THAN ADEQUATE & YOU WHO WERE IN APOGEE (DATCU) ON A BEAUTIFUL NOVEMBER FALL DAY A FEW YRS AGO WILL PROBABLY AGREE. gmg!

It still amazes me how Pony fans from back in the day still gloat about winning with semi-pro football teams; especially listening to Eric D. & Craig J. Do their fans to this day know what earned them the Death Penalty?

🗣️ EVERYTHING’S NEGOTIABLE! Frances has his Pony Express Era blue coveralls on.

Some have asked about Chandler Rogers deep throw ability? Probably not as much since I posted (weeks ago) a YouTube video of his sophomore year at ULM vs the Texas Longhorns when he tossed a deep one on the money. ••• Here are some of our QB’s Sophomore numbers in 2022. https://ulmwarhawks.com/sports/football/roster/chandler-rogers/5421 Note: ULM made $1.9 million to play UT-Austin in 2022. GMG!

Coach Eric Morris’ former employer, the Washington State Cougars are now a Top 25 ranked team as of this week. That all began on the recruiting trail for the Cougars. UNT never had recruiting ties to Dallas SOC high school, but we do now. •••If Eric Morris has to tweak his coaching staff he will, but even with a late start in recruiting I hear they still did fine with a few recruiting surprises. •••Watching our team vs UTSA last year with the size discrepancies between their offensive line vs our defensive line I figured we’d have trouble in 2023 against some schools with almost prototypical NFL sized offensive linemen. Tackling? The Myrtle Beach bowl game 3 years ago vs App State was the worst display of tackling I ever saw. Phil Bennett cleaned it up quite a bit the next 2 years. Very anxious to see what happens in Ruston this Saturday evening. GO MEAN GREEN!

👍👍🦅👍👍 GMG!

Fluff? I just find it stranger than hell that grown (supposed educated) men want to replace a UNT HFC after only 2 games. That’s all.

Tulane went from a terrible season in 2021 to a Cotton Bowl win over USC the next year. Even Coach Willie Fritz had a slow start. I think most know by now what many posters on GMG want is not what UNT Athletics wants, right? Willie Fritz (American Athletic Conference) (2016–present) 2016 Willie Fritz 4–8 1–7 6th (West) 2017 Willie Fritz 5–7 3–5 5th (West) 2018 Willie Fritz 7–6 5–3 T–1st (West) W Cure 2019 Willie Fritz 7–6 3–5 4th (West) W Armed Forces 2020 Willie Fritz 6–6 3–5 T–8th L Famous Idaho Potato 2021 Willie Fritz 2–10 1–7 T–9th 2022 Willie Fritz 12–2

Totally concur. You’ve hit the nail with the hard truth, wardly. In Hayden’s 3’rd year after a season-opening 61-7 loss to OSU I as a novice fan (which we still have an over-abundance of) was getting shaky about Fry & then—the Mean Green travel to Knoxville, Tennessee, & a scrappy bunch of Texas HS recruits come back to a crowded Love Field with still (arguably) our greatest win ever. The UT Vols were not chopped liver, either. They were 7 & 4 for that season. We probably cost Coach Bill Battle his job, then he would quit coaching & open up College Licensing with a small loan from Paul “Bear” Bryant. Talk about turning your lemons into lemonade! 😮 (We also beat UH Coogs 28-0 at Texas Stadium in 1975). GMG!

To me one of our problems was very visible last year in our 2 games in the AlamoDome when TV cameras panned our diminutive defensive line. It was our smallish defensive line versus UTSA’s “Land of the Giants” offensive line.😳 Granted, SL was fired a year or 2 too late as our rebuilding project (which 2023 now is) should have begun in that period of time. DID YOU HEAR THIS, ALL YE NEGATIVE NEDS WHO WOULD SOMEHOW FIND A WAY TO CRITICIZE THE 2’ND COMING OF CHRIST? Someone posted last week that UNT’s Morris recruited most of the Incarnate Word players that beat Baylor last week but beat them in TSU-San Marcos unis. After Incarnate Word, Morris took off for Washington State & Kinne became the beneficiary of those at Incarnate Word who were recruited in the Coach Morris regime. That’s something. “Oh, the humanity!” GMG!

Update for anyone interested & this with 7 minutes left in the first half. Rice U….28 UH 0…… ⭐️ The Rice QB J.T. Daniels looks like a combination of Owl legends King Hill, Frank Ryan & Tobin Rote. Funny thing is how Gray Eagle & I were talking about all 3 of those QB’s at our Cal-Berkeley game. •••Rice has a beautiful end zone athletic center in their south end zone. ••• Guess we’re never going to have 40,000 at DATCU, are we? GMG!
