North Texas does not need a big name D1 coach, it just needs a compitent coach that understands "GO WITH THE HOT HAND."

Draft Board Shawson Johnson was the last pick in the draft, by the Anaheim Arsenal. Thomas Bio Glad he's going to get a shot to continue to play ball!

F the NCAA This isn't punishment. He is only missing one year and not losing any eligibility. Zach Muzzy plays one play too many and can't get a redshirt because he tore his knee up on a kickoff, rather than before the kickoff. F the NCAA.

A finger in the eye!

We haven't heard much of K-Mart since he snorted his coaching career away while watching girls at a nudie bar. I wonder if he's still around?

I hope DD or whoever is out recruiting this kid. We need to call Awasome in NYC and get his help. This kid is a STUD!!!! DMN recruiting blog______________________________________________________________ Euless Trinity DE Yenga quite a catch for local college Euless Trinity senior DE Youri Yenga has emerged as one of the area's top defensive players this season. Yenga seems to lead Trinity in tackles and big defensive plays every game. Trinity coach Steve Lineweaver said Yenga's big season has put him on the radar of college recruiters. Lineweaver said, however, that Yenga is looking to sign with a local college, such as North Texas, SMU or TCU. Yenga would be quite a catch for one of the local schools. He came to Trinity as a sophomore and football was new to him and he's come a long way in three seasons. Yenga has a lot of up-side to him. He'll need to fill out -- he's a 'tweener at 6-1, 210 -- but he's a heck of a tackler. Lineweaver said Yenga needs to stay close to home "because he's the dad of the family." Lineweaver said Yenga's father still lives in Africa and Yenga helps take care of his mother and sister. His sister just recently moved to the U.S. Lineweaver said Yenga really came on last season in the playoffs as Trinity went on to win the Class 5A Division I title. Lineweaver said he was even better last spring. "We couldn't block him in practice," Lineweaver said. And that's saying a lot considering the size and talent of Trinity's offensive line.

How are we not in the bottom 10, hell the bottom 4, No. 5 is always a joke team?

Because Harry, John Denver or illuvius32 wanted it pinned.

I like Daniel, but he and his family need to decide together if it is worth long-ter, negative effects on his health, especially when he has NO Division 1-A offensive lineman to play behind.

You're right Eagle Man, Money is not the problem. The LACK OF MONEY is the problem!!!

And missed the 1-AA playoffs because of a lost to Northeast Louisiana(now UL-Monroe at the endof the game. And YES, you can still rush the field.

No disrepect meant King, but you are a fool if you think DD will resign before the season ends.

UNT alumni design Chicago's Olympic logo Posted by: Michelle Hale Two recent graduates of the communication design program in the School of Visual Arts gave the city of Chicago a boost in its efforts to be selected as the American city of choice to host the 2016 Summer Olympics should the United States Organizing Committee submit a formal bid for the games.

Yes, but this is a PG rated board.

If it was, the Mean Green would have scored at least one TD, maybe two againt Troy.

Good Riddance to bad rubbish. If you feel that way, you will NEVER bleed green. Go watch the Roadrunners in that barn called the convocation center. UTSA will not have football for at least 15 years and competitve football for at least 20. Take your crying towell and get the "F" out of Denton. So you know who told you this, Brett Tulloss

Matt, I'm sure this was a difficult post for you to write, but it's all true. Are you, Harry and Evan even going to put yoyr time into a podcast this week. The coaching staff and the Offensive Line didn't make an appearance, why should y'all be forced to relive that crappy game again.

The offense is so inept, it could not score with a $100 bill taped to Johnny Quinn's thingy. Calm down Quoner!!!

Jarvis a stud at Florida, just like Taylor Casey's brother Tate.

I realize that Dickey has four conference chapionships and New Orleans bowl victory, but 20 games under .500 is ridiculous. I like Coach Dickey and admire the man. He's had a tough couple of years. But HE CAN'T DO THE JOB anymore.

We're doing good

Maybe we can win this. Our FB team can't win a damn thing.

TROY "MEAN" TO NORTH TEXAS -Preston Hayden October 28, 2006 With the Sun Belt title in their sights, the Men of Troy took care of business today, cruising past North Texas 42-10. The Trojans were strong from the start with Leodis McKelvin returning the opening kickoff 96 yards for a TD. He would later add a 57 yard punt return for a touchdown. All day long, in fact, the special teams were able to set up great drives for the offense, with the Trojan offense spending most of the day on North Texas' side of the 50. Quarterback Omar Haugabook did not have a stellar passing day, but was able to put his receivers in great position for a lot of yards after catch. The defense remained stingy today, with the bye week healing up all wounds and fatigue that set in from a tough beginning of the year. "We're taking it one game at a time," said Larry Blakeney. "Our goal is to take the conference and get down to New Orleans. We're one step closer now." The Trojans kickoff homecoming next week against the Louisiana-Lafayette Rajun Cajuns.

While RV doesn't control this board. All of these are valid questions. What is our football recruiting budget? Good Question Where is our roadmap or Strategy? Another Good Question If we have one has it been shared with anyone? Where? One of the best questions What kind of revenue plan or revenue has RV brought to the program? The BIGGEST question of them all. The Mattress Mac money was because of DD. Not sure about the tennis center, but come on its tennis. Where is the money he promised when he took over? He has generated NO revenue stream or generated a single big donation. I don't want the standard, tired response about tailgating. I want $$$$$ figures and wins. Tailgating is 6 weeks a year. Where is the MONEY? Where are the WINS? Correct me if I'm wrong, and I know you will. The only programs with a winning record in RV's tenure are Women's basketball and women's soccer. Two non-revenue sports. Track and cross country have had marginal success, but nothing that would bring in donors. How is RV a passable, not even good let alone great, athletic director that many on this board profess him to be? I'm waiting on answers. And so know one accuses me of hiding behind an internet screen name, Brett Tulloss

This is the guy. Remember that Beast at LB when NT played USM in the NOB, Michael Boley. This was his coach. With RV's ties to USM, I'd think this guy makes sense. Lytrel Pollard Lytrel Pollard, now in his eighth year on the coaching staff, changes positions on the defensive side of the ball this season. After working with the linebackers for the past six years, Pollard will coach the defensive backs, while also continuing to serve as the special teams coordinator, a position he has coached since 2003. Pollard, a former standout Golden Eagle linebacker, experienced another strong season coaching the position in 2005, as he coached 2005 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and All-American Kevis Coley, who posted 150 tackles (81 solos, 69 assists), the sixth-best performance in school history. Coley's total tackles ranked No. 8 nationally, while his solos stood No. 7 nationally. Even more than that, Pollard also helped Wayne Hardy make the move from fullback to linebacker, and as a result, Hardy finished fifth on the team in tackles. Pollard also coached a strong special teams unit, as All-American and All-Conference USA performer Darren McCaleb, again a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, set the school record with 23 field goals, most points in a season (107), while tying the school's game record with four field goals against East Carolina. Under Pollard's tutelage, McCaleb has become the school's most prolific kicker, as he is the all-time leading scorer (255), and has the most made field goals (53) and extra points (96). In addition, All-American punter Luke Johnson was the No. 1 punter in Conference USA and was ranked No. 7 nationally in yards per punt (44.9). The school's most prolific return man, John Eubanks had another strong year, and is continuing his career in the NFL with the Washington Redskins. In 2004, Pollard coached outside linebacker Michael Boley, as he left his mark as one of the greatest linebackers to ever play at Southern Miss. He was a two-time All-American, including consen-sus honors in 2004, the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year in 2004 and a three-time All-Conference USA selection. Linebacker Antoine Cash had an outstanding senior season as the team's third-leading tackler with 95 stops, four sacks, 15 tackles for loss and three fumble recoveries. Boley was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons and Cash signed a free agent contract, also with the Falcons. Boley was tabbed a national semifinalist for the Butkus, Bednarik and Lott Awards, while winning the Conerly Trophy, given since 1996 to Mississippi's best college football player. He earned Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week Honors four times, and national player of the week honors by the Football Writers Association of America and the Walter Camp Foundation following his 20-tackle, two forced fumbles, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup performance in the team's season opening win at Nebraska. He posted one of the best seasons by a Southern Miss defensive player, as he finished with 125 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, two interceptions, two pass breakups and five forced fumbles this season. His five forced fumbles gave him nine for his career, which is a school record. In the same year, McCaleb was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award, given annually to the nation's best collegiate kicker and earned All-American hon-ors. He was perfect on all of his regular season field goals attempts, before missing his first few of the season in the bowl game. Eubanks also enjoyed a strong 2004 season, as he led the nation in kickoff returns for part of the year, and finished (5) in the top five in the nation for the second year in a row. He was named the Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Year, as well as earning All-American honors for the second year. In 2003, he saw three of his specialists gain all-conference honors. Eubanks and Marvin Young ranked among the nation's leaders in kick return (4) and punt return (10), respectively. The two players earned spots on the All-Conference USA First Team as return men, while McCaleb was honored on the league's all-fresh-man team and was named to several Freshman All-American teams, including the Sporting News. During the 2000 season, one of his players, Bandit End Terrell Paul, was named to the Conference USA all-freshman team, and during the 2001 season Wolf Linebacker Roy Magee was named second team All-C-USA. A native of Bay Springs, Miss., Pollard played at Stringer High School and completed an outstanding Golden Eagle playing career in 1997 by helping lead the team to a 9-3 record, a C USA championship, and a Liberty Bowl title. He led the team in tackles with 114, a total that was good for fifth place in the conference. He was in double figures in tackles eight times in 11 games as a senior and had a season best 13 stops in the season opener at Florida. He finished his Golden Eagle career with 274 tackles, nearly reaching the top 10 on the career tackles list at Southern Miss, and he was named permanent captain his senior season. Pollard earned his undergraduate degree in coaching and sport administration in the spring of 1998, and his master's in the fall of 1999. He is the son of Charles and Margaret Pollard of Bay Springs, Miss. Pollard, and his wife, Kristina, have two sons, Tylor and Klabron.
