I guess it's not really a surprise. But the fact that his name and that he’s committed to North Texas will be all over the national media is going to be a lot of great publicity.

Hey don't knee jerk this was a very entertaining thread from time to time.

Don't we have a Mean Green Job Board

Sorry this just made me think a great quote. Burns: I suggest you leave immediately Homer: Or what? You'll release the dogs or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

Well said Sir.

Congrats on the 1000th post I hope to get there someday. Do we really have a say in what goes on in the program. No; but GMG represents the most avid supporters of the program and for a program to succeed it has to listen to it’s boosters. Can we make them build a stadium on sure will NO but can we help sway policy I think so.

Wise man.

It sounds more delusional than brilliant to me. There are some issues with Fouts that can’t be fixed with a renovation.

And to think in college I had to be drunk to talk about that same thing over and over again. Now I just have to be at work.

Thats crazy talk Papa Todd said practice is closed.

Personally I'm pro Stadium. That's all I have to say about that.

That could be tough they play in the Big 12 South.

But then what would we talk about. The board may get kinda quiet if we build a new stadium.

Thats why he's the highest rated recruit we've had in the past decade if not ever.

<H2 class=date-header>August 15, 2007</H2><H3 class=entry-header>Answers on King and Gilmore</H3>Nick and longtime UNT fan John McDowell submitted a couple of good questions to the blog today, which is something we would like to see more of. Here is the latest. John -- and everyone else who follows UNT -- wanted to know what is going on with defensive end Eddrick Gilmore. The sophomore hasn't practiced with the Mean Green this fall and was still MIA on Wednesday. He stopped by practice Tuesday in street cloths. Word is Gilmore could be back soon, possibly in the next couple of days. The return of Gilmore would be huge for UNT, which doesn't have much depth on its defensive line or proven playmakers up front outside of Jeremiah Chapman. Gilmore hasn't proven he can be a difference-maker either, but he does have the potential to be a top player for the Mean Green. The other big question going into practice today was the status of wide receiver Marcus King. The freshman took a nasty tumble at the back of the end zone at the end of practice Tuesday. Luckily for UNT, King was OK and will only be out for a few days. Dodge said the video of King hyper-extending his knee was a scary sight. Dodge said King, who played in a run-based offense in high school, was making rapid progress before the injury. Posted by Brett Vito at 10:30 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0) <H3 class=entry-header>Robert Peachey update</H3>North Texas tackle Robert Peachey was on crutches Wednesday with a hamstring injury that head coach Todd Dodge said would make the sophomore's status a day-to-day decision. Hamstring injuries can be tricky -- just ask running back Jamario Thomas, who battled that problem ever since late in his freshman season. Peachey probably won't have nearly as tough a time with the injury as Thomas, but it wasn't an encouraging sign to see UNT's projected starter at right tackle standing on the sideline. UNT does not have much depth on its offensive line -- especially at tackle. There will be a full story in tomorrow's paper on the news that came out of UNT's workout. Be sure to pick up the paper or check our Web site late tonight. Posted by Brett Vito at 10:30 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Do we have any news on Woody. Last I heard a week ago was that he was basically told he wouldn’t be a QB anymore and TD gave him sometime to consider his options. Its been a week now has anyone heard anything else.

I really can't decide if I want to laugh at that or not.

SWEET

<H2 class=date-header>Brett just confirmed it they're back August 15, 2007</H2><H3 class=entry-header>Banks and Ross back</H3>I just returned from North Texas' morning practice session and offensive lineman Ajani Banks and defensive lineman Draylen Ross were back on the field. The return of both is critical for the Mean Green, which does not have a lot of depth on either its offensive or defensive lines. For more on practice and the return of both players, check back on the blog later today and be sure to pick up a copy of tomorrow's edition of the Denton Record-Chronicle. Tomorrow's content will also be on our Web site late tonight. Posted by Brett Vito at 12:59 PM

Grade did post yesterday so anyone out for academics could be coming back. But I haven’t heard anything about anyone regaining eligibility yet.

And now it’s going to cause a brain tumor. Do we really have to resurrect 2 year old threads? Even if it did cause the death of thousands.

It all sounds great to me I'm on board with anything that will help bring respectability to the conference.

I do agree it is a pretty big change but I'd say the running clock rule from last year was a much bigger change.

Yes but like most thing speed is only illegal if you get caught.

It shows the overall athletics budget so it could really go anywhere. It is a little depressing but as TD brings more money into the program we'll spend more
