If FIU makes it past Denver and MT, we may not get to the finals. I doubt that will happen because Denver's style will probably frustrate FIU to no end. I think MT is disciplined enough to beat Denver, and barring a Tyren Johnson explosion, UNT should advance. The UNT/MT matchup is a little scary. We haven't lost since our game in M'boro, so I think the guys will have a little revenge to play for. As for the other bracket, I can see Troy possibly losing to the SA/FAU winner and I think whoever wins between WKU & ASU will make it to the finals with us. Hopefully, it's WKU. Not only because I think beating WKU would look better for UNT in the eyes of the selection committee, but I just don't like our matchup with ASU at all.

I think this is a fantastic idea. For all the negatives to complain about with Fouts, it is the place of many memories for everyone on this board. I'm glad the A.D. is sending it out in style. I know in the future, I'll look over from the new place at the parking garage that will be there and remember the good 'ol days!

Oh yeah, he had some really good teams in the tourney. Some of them, with this guy:

Collin Cowherd dilutes sports talk radio.

I agree. I think all games outside of maybe Clemson (no more Spiller though) are win-able. 6 home games and only 1 'body bag' game is about all we can ask for with our current situation.

Though I'm very excited about his experience, I think I'm happier about his recruiting abilities. The guy already has ties to DFW coaches so he should be able to hit the ground running...

So this frees up another scholarship. I think we had another scholarship to give as well... I wonder who can be picked up? Or, is there a Casey Fitzgerald on the practice squad somewhere?

Gotta love this hire with all of the experience. Going from a 6 years total of College Off. Coord. & Wide Receivers coaching experience to almost 50 years of College/NFL experience should bode well for the Mean Green. Congrats Dodge/Villareal on two fantastic hires!

I hope they take time to enjoy that cake along the way, because it's nothing but PAIN when they get to the finals!

Pretty favorable schedule to get back to a bowl. We'll see if the departure of Franklin will hurt them at all... I hope it does on Nov. 13th, otherwise, I don't care.

I would definitely be up for tailgating and meeting some of you guys at the spring game.

I wonder what kind of sign the guy on the bottom right is throwing? You would think the Athletic Dept. would chose another picture, or demand they take another one?

So does this mean we should see an announcement today? We know Peterson interviewed, but the article said two candidates interviewed. I wonder who the other candidate was?

Looks like the late '90s swimming/diving team jackets. Congrats on the collectors item! Rick Yeatts Photos

What was going on in the Mean Green nation on this date that would cause a total online record at GMG.com? I would have thought that the day after the '02 bowl win or the '07 SBC conf. championship/NCAA tourney game would be the records... I was not yet a member of this fine board at the time, I'm just curious. Online At Once Record224 On 04 August 2005 - 04:55 PM

I certainly hope coach Gandy decides to stick around, but he may just be waiting around for other options to develop and in the meantime, he's "planning to stay at North Texas." He deserves the attention...

This would be yet another Fantastic hire! His resume is very impressive: Greg Peterson

What is the story on Tyren Johnson? That guy looked like he could suit up for any AQ school. We played really nice defense on him in the first half, but then when UNT started to pull away in the second, it became the Tyren Johnson show. He's the only reason that game was close. If he wasn't so sloppy with his feet (travelled 2-3 times), he would have had more pts too.

I always enjoy a win much more when the team we beat is at full strength, but this makes the road a little easier. My one worry is that with playing weaker teams going down the stretch that the guys may settle into a groove and will be overconfident heading into the tourney.

I would expect this number, or slightly higher, only because of the K-State game. It will be nice to have this game over T-giving than a game with ARSt. or another SBC school over T-giving.

Depends on the student turnout... Good showing from the students should put us up maybe just over 6K. If we get a normal student turnout, then probably around 4800 or so. Lets hope the flyers and on-campus promotions are working!

This is much funnier if you imagine your avatar speaking these words.

Oh boy. I hope Bartolotta is not let down too much when JJ leaves in a few years (or after this season with a final 4 under his belt ) for "Money, Power, Prestige"...

Dat's some High quality H2O!

Rick, you're probably the most recognizable supporter of UNT athletics period. The respect for you is there my friend. You've been on the block much longer than I have (BA '05), so you know the history first hand. To me it's history, and I really appreciate history. For me, Patrick Cobbs is the best RB I've seen here at UNT. Brandon Kennedy is the best D-Lineman I have seen at UNT. My appreciation of history tells me that maybe Abner Haynes is the best RB ever, and Joe Greene is the best D-Lineman ever. That doesn't diminish my thoughts of Cobbs & Booger. It's not a lack of respect by any means... I just didn't see those guys. I'm sure other 'youngbloods' are the same as me. We love the guys that we saw play!
