Wasn’t it Lombardy who used to say defense wins championships? The college football magazine guru who is probably the most respected (Phil Steele) has now come out as some kind of a prophet because he picked our favorite school to finish 3’rd in CUSA West in his giant summer edition.🙁 We just haven’t won the close ones as we did in 2017. How we ever beat La Tech in Ruston last year with no defense still kinda’ defies logic. GMG!

$8.00 tickets sounds like a pretty good deal for Families with kids. Not sure how long this "Flash Sale" goes. Anybody know? GMG!

Saw Oakland's Fred Biletnikoff when Owner/Head Football Coach Al Davis' "Ray'dahs" played the Houston Oilers. He was not a speed merchant but anything thrown his way he would catch. Tulsa U's Howard Twilley' much the same. GMG!

I hope our players get their mojo back for this one. Didn't we have about 22,000 for the "See ya' later McNeese State" game in the rain at old Fouts Field? I remember there were umbrellas up all over the place. It was quite colorful. GMG!

We should all feel... Mean Green & Proud of It! (Remember those pin on buttons with that on them that Ron Wesson and Paul Polk had made up in the 70's? GMG!

👍👍 In his highlights video did I miss seeing his game winning reception from Mason vs UTSA in “the Drive?”

Wednesday Night Bump! ✅ At 11:00 pm tonight is when we can multi-vote to dramatically add to Mason Fine’s present 1’st Place standing. Of course, UCF fans will be doing the same, too. GMG!

This has been asked by many thru the years.

About 11:30 PM I was talking to FFR as we both continued voting and Rick said "Man O man, North Texas Exes and MG fans are burning the keyboards" voting for Mason Fine (and the Mean Green)! Way to go, fellow alums and MG fans! Damn! I'm proud of us!

A 1:00 PM kick-off instead of 6:30 PM (or later). (Rainbows are easier to see). LOL! GMG!

Bump. Multi-voting begin at 11:00 PM--just minutes away. GMG!

Some of us were at the 1981 Southern Miss at Fouts Field game & the rain was of monsoon proportions. It had flooded like most of us had ever seen the Student Side entrance between the Athletic Center and the stadium. It was so bad you needed a snorkle and frog fins to swim thru it. (Yall think I'm kidding). Gray Eagle, SUMG, Jim & Wanda Parks & myself were trying to keep a huge tarp over us in the driving rain except the wind was wreaking havoc with it. GMG!

I worked for an Aggie for 7 years—best job I ever had working for someone else. He once taught school in Nederland when Bum Phillips was on the NISD payroll. Oh the stories he told.

On your mark....get set.............GO! It's 11:00 PM and time to vote for Mason Fine! Vote Mason Fine for Davey O'Brien Award

We just gotta’ get our mojo back! MOJO, BABE’EEEE!

A come back from the dead football program has earned them some sympathy votes I guess.

Cisnero's Folly is the best if you bring Hot Shot roach killer & wear a mask for black mold. 🤮🤢 I think Apogee is pretty damn special. So did the Interim Commissioner of the Big 12 after he took a tour of it upon completion. He couldn't believe what we got for the price. (We'll show ODU just how special next time they visit here). GMG!

Great post, ntmeangreen11. The link on UTSA is interesting, too. Fellow fans, 2 (or 3?) years ago UTSA recruited 17 3-star recruits. Thus far that has translated into few wins on the football field. If we keep all our impressive list of 2019 3 stars, I think Seth Littrell and Company will do things with them we have not seen in a long time at North Texas. GMG!

You are right, wardly, but strangely early this season by North Texas winning against a 2 average "known teams" we were still able to get some Top 25 votes. Wasn't a spot inside the Top 25 but at least getting some votes is a start. GMG!

Of course, the first question I was asking to the GMG.com posters. All the rest is hypothetical. We know a Tight End to RB (or Fullback) won't happen at North Texas, but fun to speculate which is all any of us ever do on this forum. Still, on GMG.com I haven't seen one poster in all my years of reading other posters post their HSO's on play-calling or making personnel changes ever be asked to join the UNT coaching staff. How many times have we (mostly you) convinced the Green Brigade readers of GMG.com to try something different that looks like a Big 10 marching band entrance onto the Apogee field for the pre-game show? I still think its a good idea, Bill, to give such an entrance the good old college try, but no one from the UNTCOM is likely to consult with any of us on anything they do. We have 2 or 3 fine running backs who can break for long runs but (as someone else on GMG.com posted) "once you hit one of their ankles they go down." We have run many off tackle plays of late and rarely do we get multi-yardage. No running game for UNT means it's all on Mason Fine's passing. (At UTEP #6 probably had 60 yards worth of dropped passes). We're all sick as hell that we lost Loren Easly because he was so looking like the RB that could take us to the next CUSA level--West Division Football championship and maybe a bowl win. Tight End to Running Back? One has to assume that if one can play Tight End that they can run after he catches the football & also block. As goes Mason Fine as goes North Texas. We've seen what Mason Fine not playing at 100% affects the entire offense & team. .Maybe an extra blocker in the backfield would help keep him from running for his life and be able to set up and pass? GMG!

Non-sense to some makes total sense to progressive dreamers & from one who has been around college football the last 50 plus years. UNT for 47. Around these parts you get piled on because you have the audacity to forget our not so successful athletic psst & suggest a larger Apogee would help us get Top 25 schools into Denton. Sure we wouldn’t fill it all the time but neither are P5 schools filling their stadiums now but... they will with the right opponent when something is on the line. Note: When UNT hosts Texas Tech in a few seasons that game could easily draw 40,000 fans, but about 8K to 10K Red Raider fans are not going to get into Apogee unless they buy their tickets much earlier than Mean Green fans. UH was my first inspiration who I took to Denton upon transferring there actually thinking UNT could emulate much of what the Cougars did since the 1960’s when I first began following their advent into the Southwest Conference. Saw some pretty high brow stuff as a UH fan including the Astrodome match between Elvin Hayes & (then) Lew Alcindor. ✔️ Oh, well, I just remember in the annals of Texas college football when an Oklahoma-born HFC at UT totally ran out of Longhorn QB’s due to injuries. DKR then pulled a DB from the secondary named Allan Lowery—turned him into a QB who (as I recall) took his team to the Cotton Bowl that Fall. That make sense? Desperate times (& the rest of that quote). UNT has no power back at the moment who can do what #23 could do so might a a bit of creativity (a la Darrell Royal) be in order to get a sizable bone crunching back put in the backfield during certain situations? GMG!

Vote Mason Fine for Davey O'Brien Award I believe FFR said at 11:00 PM begins that magic time to get multi-votes, but vote now. I just did. GMG!

Well, let's get by Southern Miss first. _________________________________ When is the last time a college tight end who can catch, run and block was converted to a Running Back or Full Back position? With our need for a bone-crushing RB who can get those 2-3 tough yards might that be one possibility for North Texas? GMG!
