No doubt he's a legit 5* board op prospect. However, I think he wants to change positions. Not sure where he feels he should be playing in the broadcast, but you gotta think that with his skillset and coaching he's already obtained, the transition should be smooth. Surely the coaches in the RTVF department will be able to ease the transition and I expect Grubes to have a nice career at UNT. Hopefully we'll hear him as a sideline reporter during the football games. Jub-Jub to Grubes back to Jub-Jub!

Recruits Get Lost Heading to Check out School
MeanGreenTexan replied to All About UNT's topic in Mean Green Football
Either these guys are really dumb, or (conspiracy theory alert!) they went exactly where they wanted to go in East Texas, had to make up an excuse to cover it up, and sacrificed their intellectual reputation to hide it. Either way, not smart. -
I think we can all agree that coach Aston did well here. I think we can all lament that her regime was too short. But for all you mad guys, flip the table and imagine your "dream job" is offered to you while you are in a pretty nice spot already. Do you take it? If you say no, you're probably lying, or you're not challenging yourself enough. I can't blame her for jumping at this opportunity.

A Bad Day for Obamacare
MeanGreenTexan replied to Harry's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
I'm a novice here, so please don't kill me. When it comes to political threads, I usually California-cool, hip-hop my way into a thread, if I ever do... But here's a serious attempt: What if instead of making someone pay a penalty tax for NOT having insurance, you give some kind of credit for those that DO have insurance? That way, you're not forcing anyone to buy insurance (which according to the arguments, looks like it would appease the conservatives?), but you're rewarding those who decide to do so (which seems like it would appease the liberals?), be it financially or otherwise. The reward can be scalable: Virtually nothing for the highest tax bracket all the way to a hefty subsidy that covers alot of the cost of the insurance for the lowest tax bracket. Thanks for your consideration. I'll hang up and listen. -
Shameless Harry.

I don't care about race, gender, religion, etc... Can the guy win, and win the right way? If so, hire him. I know you're playing Devil's advocate Harry, I just hope that is not the reason a guy like Daniels would get passed over. He could be an Iranian transgendered scientologist, for all I care. Just get us to the NCAA tournament, and do it without cheating! Go Mean Green!

Your Promo Ideas To Fill Wing Section Every Game?
MeanGreenTexan replied to PlummMeanGreen's topic in Mean Green Football
You have to give Joe your Souvenier-cup-size coke first before you actually get the jersey, so that's an extra $6 in the coffers each week! Hello Baseball Stadium! -

Luckily, you sign an LOI with a School's name on it... not a coach's. They'll be here next year, unless they back out of their LOI, in which case they would be treated like a transfer and would have to sit out a year, correct?

Your Promo Ideas To Fill Wing Section Every Game?
MeanGreenTexan replied to PlummMeanGreen's topic in Mean Green Football
Best Option: "Fresh off their stunning upset of LSU, come see the Mean Green pound Texas Southern! Then, keep coming back." Next-Best Option: Whatever UTSA is doing to get people to come watch them play. Worst Option: Do nothing. -
UNT Alums in sports media make me proud
MeanGreenTexan replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
Nice! Hey, don't be shy about "accidentally" hitting a switch on your board that pipes in George and Hank on a Saturday afternoon in the fall. People in Fayetteville need some Mean Green in their life. -
This is a person who does not understand business then. Probably not an alumn of UT, let alone ANY university.

The more I think about Trice returning kicks, the more excited I get about that possibility. My reason: He's short. When he gets up behind the wedge, he'll practically vanish behind those bigger guys. He's fast and shifty enough to get to the next level on his own, throw in the fact that opponents won't be able to really see him, and I think you have a recipe for large gains on Special Teams. I think we would consistently have good field position with him back there. Of course, kick/punt returning is pretty crazy and I would hate to see him injured. I think we're going to be relying on him pretty heavily on defense in the passing game. Tough call.

Todd Dodge says he's back in comfort zone
MeanGreenTexan replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
It's possible, but his system and offensive high school assistants came in year 1 and set all kinds of records (the good kind). So it's a head-scratcher that he could not parlay that into more success... seemed like the offense just got worse as time went on. Maybe the experienced d-coordinators and head coaches figured out his system and he could not adapt? If so, that would be a trait he would learn coming up the ranks and working with an experienced HC. The defensive assistants were a complete nightmare from day 1 (Mendoza in particular). I don't think defense was part of coach Dodge's "football system"? Or, he subscribed to the "The best defense is a good offense" philosophy, which failed him miserably here. As great as DeLoach 1.0 was here under DD, DeLoach 2.0 was a failure as well. Maybe Dodge hamstrung DLo, but he was not the fix for the horrid defense, so maybe it wasn't a coordinator issue... -

MeanGreenTexan replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
I guess I was wrong about coach Dodge. I thought for sure he would get another QB Coach job somewhere at the FBS level. I guess he's back where he's supposed to be. Too bad. I think the beat-down he took at UNT broke his confidence. I didn't think there was any reason he should fail if he were to take a path similar to coach Graham, coach Briles, or some other successful HS HC who was an assistant for a while before taking over as a HC. Best of luck to Dodge at Marble Falls. -
Oh yes. I remember having this conversation last year when Marcus Trice tweeted a picture of him in his helmet. These are practice helmets. The in-game helmets have white facemasks.

I don't think you can give credit to slacker RV and mediocre-at-best coach JJ for this brilliant move. Obviously Karen Aston pulled some strings to get us in this tourney.

There are some really good teams in the final 4, but I don't see any of them beating Kentucky.

Merger or Sharing- Either way CUSA-MWC Work Together
MeanGreenTexan replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
At the very least, give us a reason to travel to an away game. I mean, what's going on in Troy Alabama? At least in the MWC you get to go to Las Vegas, Ft. Collins (Home of New Belgium Brewery!), and for you rich folks: Hawaii! -
