Here we go again. The "Go Mean Green" was not coined by Joe's mother; it was coined (sort of) by Sidney Sue Smith Graham, the wife of Sports Information Director Fred Graham. Actually Sidney said "Get Mean, Green!" She told Fred that he should use it in his press/publicity releases. Fred first said "It sounds too corny" but later relented and started using it. It caught on and the rest is history as they say. I believe that it was Fred that changed the "Get" to "Go."

Sounds to me like the Brockton Mauler....Rocky Marciano.

I don't understand how the Ivy League schools are 1-AA if they don't give scholarships. Division 3 does not award scholarships but all other divisions do.

We play at Wichita State (maybe) the last conference game. We play all of the 13 members; five of them twice. We are the 14th member.

On the schedule shown earlier in this thread...the first five shown are home and away, the next four are home only and the last four are away only. That gives us 18 conference games...nine home and nine away.

It's true that there have been plenty of disrespectful comments but most are deserved. Some were aimed at Coach Morris but a lot of them were aimed at the DC. Speaking of him, did anyone ask why he switched back to a three man defensive line after success with the four man DL? We just don't have the personnel to run the three. It seems to me that it would take three Booger Kennedys to run that successfully (which we don't have of course...who does)?

Look at the Mountain West. It cost them $34 million if they want to leave with less than two years notice...and they only receive $4 million per year. SMU was getting at least twice that much.

The next five games will be fine.

Australia

I believe that when the Big East broke up and Connecticut left the renamed American Athletic Conference, I assumed that it would be re-classified a mid-major conference. Evidently, Memphis, Houston and Cincinnati were considered strong enough to keep the rating.

As we used to say in West Texas...Dimmit to Hale Center.

It's funny, when you have that kind of speed with those hands, you seem much larger than 5-5, 140.

La Tech 42 Mean Green 38

Agree, but maybe with this offensive lineup we can outscore La Tech.

Not in the two games played but I will give him some credit for this recruiting class being an improvement over most of the past classes. I believe that he has established many good connections with coaches that will help in the future if we can make winners of them. Added thought. The Portal was especially unkind to continuance of what we had last year. Maybe our worst year for losses.

I'd say yes. This is a Sept. 12 repost of an August 31 original post.

As far as I know Bret still functions as the UNT reporter for the Dallas Morning News. It could be different now because the Record-Chronicle has a new owner. If so, that needs to be negotiated with the Morning News.

I realize that defense is not his forte. He should have defensive coaches that know how to teach tackling and coach defense. It seems that the runner and sometimes the receiver sticks close to a blocker forcing arm tackles instead of being able to wrap up.

Actually, I thought that Morris was offered close to what Littrell was making but he took less with the difference going to the assistants and recruiting staff.

I'd think that he has put plenty of heat on himself over what's transpired.

The one good thing about this staff is they are good recruiters. I'd hate to lose the good recruiters if they are good coaches also.

Truth be told, no one in the AAC has played FIU this year.

I hate to see someone start with "the season is lost." How many conference games have we lost? Yes, things look dire at this point, but wait until we've dropped a conference game or two before you complain that the season is lost and you won't be back. I can easily understand your disappointment...I'm disappointed myself. But, I don't quit yet; in fact, I won't acknowledge publicly that I will ever quit (until I'm six feet under). I saw my first North Texas game in 1947 and except for seven seasons when I only saw a total of four games due to service time and living several hundred miles away for my work. I was in the area when we were demoted to 1AA so I know what it means to want to quit. So even if you want to quit or even do quit, don't publicize it. That doesn't mean don't complain.

I'm confused. We have 12 men on the field and we didn't get a penalty?
