Pahinui was a OG in JUCO, and only started snapping once he got to UNT (I believe).. It had been said as well that he struggled with snapping (during spring practices), and I'm guessing it was the reason that they brought in Mose on top of him (Mose) being able to play C/OG...

Could it be a lingering issue? Wasn't barr also dressed out for the SMU game?

Disco Demolition lol good old ChiSox No idea how you sale them, Honestly would just be hoping they can turn it around on the field, which I believe they will.. But UNT has to offer more things to improve the value of the ticket.. As it was brought up before, things like Food Trucks always draw a crowd for unknown reasons, The Texas Rangers have done this before.. They would have area food trucks come in before game and fans came out.. Doing music concerts, and hell even do something like an art show or something, that the art kids on campus can display their art.. Maybe it brings out a few fans that would never come to the game, even if they never watch the game.. Have Scrappy run across the field like SMU, and just hope he doesn't eat S*** like the SMU kid did..

Wouldn't doubt it... They had it on the first down markers as well...

Would have meant a lot (to a select few alumni), yes. If fans won't buy them after a Bowl Game, beating SMU likely won't lead to people buying season tickets.. It may lead to them coming to a game or 2, but not committing to season tickets..

Wasn't it Barr who was injured at the end of the 1st half vs Lamar???

Agreed they would have possibly, but they had this offer out there before SMU as well.

Bean is coming in and going to be competing for the QB with Pearson, Fine, Martin.. Bean isn't the only kid in that room that we have hope for.. Are you really thinking that SL/GH have the same eye for talent as Mac and his staff? Before people say oh look at the offer lists... SL took nearly the same roster that got blown out by Portland State and took them to a bowl in year one... SL moved multiple guys that Mac and his staff recruited to other spots, Means went from QB to RB to LB.. Again, NO ONE here has any idea as to why he is splitting time/backing up... If this other kid is even a slightly better passer then he probably starts, if this other kid picks up an offer from some p5 program everyone will still be made.. Us worrying about a recruit that hasn't even signed is so dumb... We can worry once Bean gets onto campus, but even then he will be trying to beat out Fine, Pearson, Martin, and anyone else that they add... Just a heads up, but O'Hara isn't on the team anymore, I believe... Isadore as well was having to overcome a torn ACL from when he was in JUCO last year.. No idea how this impacted his performance, but it still a factor.

We have recruited Pearson, Martin, Bean.. and we Bean is now not a wanted commit because some unknown reason (for him to be the backup).. when he has the best offer list for any QB that we have had

Proof or who told him..

My bad, was half asleep when I saw it.. just saw the design and didn't look at the material.

He's been passed over because of the talent is surrounded by.. Martins brother is playing at Texas AM... His dad in the HC as well.. the kid knows football and can play it

I believe o have found it finally listed up on the team store.. I know we had been looking for it prior to the season, with no luck. http://shop.meangreensports.com/COLLEGE_North_Texas_Mean_Green_Mens/Mens_Nike_Kelly_Green_North_Texas_Mean_Green_Big_Logo_Long_Sleeve_T-Shirt

How does it make SL look inept? LOL they each have had 2 classes.. each has won 1 in terms of who has ranked higher.. UTSA hasn't been ranked first either year.. But I'm assuming you meant they they are in the top 3 or 4, which no one will fight with you about.. Yes UTSA has gotten talented kids but you can look this up for yourself because ive brought it up before.. They had a QB from last years class (Rivers) with 0 offers, and to you and others here that would mean he is a bad player, but yet Pearson had UNT and Wyoming.. The 0 offers was a 3* and Pearson a 2.. They landed a 4* who never made it to campus because of the legal troubles, and ill assume that if they were willing to offer a kid with a gun charge (believe it a felony?) then they likely have other shady guys coming in as well while SL is needing to get the roster up from 60 scholarships.. We have 2 3* players according to 24/7, but yet Leblanc has been down graded (who knows why), Bean has been a 3* as well... Again you don't like to hear and you claim its an excuse, but its an actual reason for why recruits do not come to UNT... Facilities, Connections with HS coaches, Success, Production to the next level, and nearly 0 alumni support.. Hell Lary Nixon went from a lower 1/3 of the class guy to now the #3 recruit and he has 0 other offers (that i can recall from memory).. I haven't seen the rankings about salaries, my bad i don't follow every post create/comment on.. But, when have I said that we are getting our moneys worth on these guys? Only a few of the coaches have produced.. Nate Brown has done a great job... Guys like GH have under performed as well. We can say that this staff is doing less with the most in the state, again i haven't seen you're information but I'm not going to fight it either till i see it because Tech for every player that commits 1 leaves.. Baylor lost to UTSA and Liberty and they had one of the top classes in the nation. Yes we should get more production in terms of getting high ranked recruits but they are doing this for a living and we are commenting on a fanboard.. They are mostly all younger guys outside of Reff, Mainford, and Langston which 2 of them have gotten Jaxon and Bean (even if you dont like Bean, you did at one time and praised the commitment) and Langston has added multiple OL already in the class, and these younger guys need to step it up.. GH needs to perform better (on the field and in recruiting), the WR coach with Mainford needs to step it up as well but these guys are 1st time coaches just like Biagi. You can blame be for saying that I'm not holding them accountable all you want, but yet I've said repeatedly to contact the staff and the AD office with everyone's concerns, hell i was posting early this past week that they need to release the MGC #, was asking about the flag pole before the first home game, was critical of the planning of the Soccer/Track and the IPF process and the uniform release saying they could have done this stuff sooner and better(but i guess that doesn't count).. Posting our complaints here isn't going to do a damn thing (with the new staff), you can say the old admin would look on here and talk to Harry, but did it ever change anything and that was the OLD ADMIN? No, Mac still recruited like crap, TB still had a job, and RV and the crew still did what they did with full knowledge of what was being posted here.. You may not like the "excuses" but thats not my problem., so sorry they hurt your feelings (ignore me if you don't like it). This again has nothing to do with Biagi... We can bash Biagi, and hell I said it after week 1 we shouldn't judge the man for his first game, everyone has nerves and a bad day.. Week 2 yes we can judge but calling for a mans job and saying he is unqualified is stupid, I do not recall any assisant coach ever being fired mid-season let alone after a couple games.. We all read the same articles about him recruiting kids from when he was at Arkansas from places they never landed before, I believe he got Trey Flowers to ARK from NC via just talking to him on Twitter as a GA... Yes week 1 special teams was terrible.. Yes week 2 was even worse, with multiple muffed punts and near blocks but those aren't on him.. They are on the player (the muffed catches), but its his fault for not having found a player who is able to field field a simple fair catch on a PR when its been worked on for what now 5-6 weeks? It looked to be in alot better hands with Darden, but we have to see does he learn from weeks 1 and 2 and role with Darden over Jenkins and Smiley? Does he try some stupid trick play inside his own 10 yard line after the other team just scored? Week 3 we find out if they have moved on from these same mistakes.. 1 week its a mistake, 2 weeks is a coach not correcting it/not breaking it down correctly for the player, 3 weeks it becomes a trend.. Here is to hoping we break some bad trends vs Iowa

We already added 2 DBs... In Jaxon and Crosby.. and the offer is nearly 7 months old.. I'm going to guess that the team had moved on.. Also, hilarious as well, Tywan has only offers from CUSA and Sunbelt schools but is ranked higher, than Jaxon who has a p5 offer and 3 G5 offers...

They did... Darden...

2016 they are ranked the spot behind us... how is that beating us, when the point you brought up is they have higher ranked classes? It also has been proven that players get a boost when they go to UTSA over UNT because of the # of subs that they have as well.. I haven't made 1 excuse about them recruiting poorly.. The points that have been brought up are legitimate reasons as to why recruits pass over UNT... Yes some of the things are not needed like fancy locker rooms, but an IPF is something that benefits MULTIPLE sports, and just gets us back to the standard of local High Schools and other D1 programs.. Yes it sucks that we have to spend 20-30M to just "catch" up but its needed... Throwing out facts like we have outranked UTSA in 4 of the 6 years is just the facts.. You didn't talk the kids who made it to campus..

How am i wrong? 24/7 the site that ranks the classes has us ranked higher in multiple classes... UTSA has out recruited us in 2 classes since since 2012... They beat us in 2013, and 2017.. The rest of the years we had a higher class.. Sorry you don't believe in facts, but whatever helps you sleep at night

You want better recruiting.. Then let's find ways add more donors, more cash to go out and hire these "recruiting studs" that can coach.. Allow UNT to have flashy things like an IPF to be on par with other schools, and keep these stud coaches.. more donor money for these recruits to get more free UNT "swag" etc..

Then get back to the point... the chicken or th egg coming first is do we donate with results or wait for results then donate.. One this is consistent, the AD office needs donors now or in the future.. you may as well get in now and the blame is on them and not us.

A game that a lot of people predicted as a loss before the season as well..

Till we win our next game, then we will forgot half these complaints

I said back to my point.. not my fault you went away from what I had been talking about, with you seeking information about my employment status..

But hey! They had a great recruiting class!
