The horizontal passing game is probably my biggest frustration. Sometimes it's used during three receiver sets, but when the receivers are split with two on the far side. So that means you've got to get the ball all the way down there, one guy blocking, and hoping that Harris makes that first guy miss at the LOS. That's not setting your guys up for success. But (playing devil's advocate here), both Greer and McNulty had inconsistencies throwing balls down the seams over a LB and/or in front of a S. So with the talent that you do have, do you want to risk turnovers, or methodically march it down 4.9 yards every play on screens, dumps, and runs off pistol sets against CUSA level play?

If only we had waited to offer... But for Texas State to beat out Iowa, Boise St, Army, AF, and LaTech? Bravo.

Tough kid, though I'd prefer him in the slot. http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/topic/98216-new-wr-joins-mean-green-daniel-khan/

I find it interesting that they moved Kidsy into the slot (if I am reading it as X, Y, Z) and moved Harris to flanker. I guess we can expect Harris to keep doing end-arounds/sweeps per usual, but more importantly I feel like they will be rotating Kidsy and Goree more often. Very exciting to see how much Goree will be rotated in.

I know regular Thursday night games may be difficult for out-of-towners, but if UNT can do a good job of making an event of the Halloween game, it could attract a lot of people. Ie, some kind of trick or treating event for kids, haunted house on the lawn, music, costume contest, etc etc. Edit: Aw crap forgot this year it's a Saturday game! It will be interesting to compare attendance from Halloween 2013 vs this year.

Ok I'll refine my bet to say "While RV is in charge".

The day we are able to bring a team like A&M or OU to Apogee, I will eat a bowl of cinnamon.

This. Smith may have all the talent, but if he doesn't know which way Marcus Smith is running in Fall camp, then he's not ready. My bet is, if McNulty starts against SMU, the soonest we see Smith is in the middle of the Iowa game. Or, if we do terribly in the first half against Rice, *maybe* then.

In terms of football, Texas State has better exposure, better ranking, and better recruiting as of late.

For whom it may concern: E-mailed Coleman and he said that our ticket allotment ($35 through our ticket office) will be in sections 116-120 because they're expecting more people than can fit in the normal visitors section.

I don't think being afraid to lose is a legitimate reason not to play them. I think a series with TxState would be a great benefit for both teams.

this this and this

student athletes are the ones that make the NCAA rich, the ones that bring attention and funding to the schools. College football playoff, the various basketball tourneys, college World Series, etc etc. it's all a racket built on the backs of the students. Giving them a little bit more is not breaking the system side question: How much, if anything, does UNT receive from CUSA TV deals and the like? Kids aren't asking for scholarships, the colleges are giving them away to that X-star athlete, trying to beat out the other school. Is a RB going to take the scholarship at ULL or be a walk on at UNT? Stipends are another tool in this arsenal. The sheer amount of revenue that NCAA, the different conferences, and the schools themselves make off of student athletes' successes will not be dented.

Driskel >>>>>>> Bellomy Bellomy will not make an impact at UTSA imo

Fair enough. I'm just glad they'll be getting their piece of the $200 a month pie.

I'm not sure I quite follow how you connect the two. Said differently, people in north San Antonio are going to be buying up North Texas gear because of Marcus Smith. People in east Texas will be buying up North Texas gear because of Wilson, Rutherford, Goree, Ivery, etc. Family and friends may come and support them in games while buying tickets, concessions, and more merchandise. And this can be applied to all sports at North Texas. Those players are bringing in some sort of revenue to the university while it is not their responsibility. That's it, that's my point. Whether or not UNT athletics can find other additional avenues for money and funding is another (frustrating, as we can all agree) conversation altogether. Am I in the minority who thinks this?

UNT athletic's difficulty to make money is not on the student-athlete. The student-athlete continues to perform, and continues to brand the university.

I understand your semantics try here, but even so, I spent money buying a hat at the coach's caravan. I won free tickets to a basketball game, and I expect to spend money on some sweet ass pretzels and coke while at the game. Anyway, the publicity, exposure, and name recognition is what makes it really easy for folks shell out money for a jersey that says "College University Football", or buy season tickets, or donate money. Example, when I go look for a North Texas football jersey at Target, what am I going to find? A jersey with the number 9 on it. Previously, you could find a jersey with the number 3, or the number 5. Even onesies with those numbers. The players, (Harris, Chancellor, Dunbar, if you didn't catch that), are creating brand recognition that becomes revenue for their institution.

There it is

My first job on campus paid $5.15 an hour. Can't pay for anything with that. Gotta be smarter about it... So soph year I moved on campus working as an RA, Free food, free place to live. $72 a month stipend and I was not allowed to have a second job. Cell bill, truck insurance bill (4 hour commute home for the holidays), emergencies here and there with no family support and you can see it could get a little tight. Had bronchitis for 3 weeks before I worked up the courage to ask my friend for $21 to pay for antibiotics. Broke a finger and took me over a year before I could pay back the creditor for a now measly $300 bill. (No not all covered by my student health insurance). So junior year I moved off campus and worked multiple jobs, blah blah blah, all the while going to school full time. Give me a break fellas, these kids don't deserve 100 or 200 or 300 or on the high end 500 bucks a month while their university rakes up all kinds of revenues for their services?

I think I'm going to forego the train and park somewhere so I can bring a tent and cooler, etc. So I'd love to know where the best place to park would be. Maybe do a Fouts tailgating throwback.

Just an interesting tidbit: I was at the dealership back in June, and salesman tells me his brother (or cousin) Xavier Williams is trying out for the walk on program this summer, and that he used to play for UTEP. Did some searching and it looks like he bounced from UTEP to Bakersfield College last year. Not sure what has come of it.

Or stealing groceries from wal mart

man, next thing you know they'll be riding around in '95 Corollas and diversifying their portfolios.
