UofH started a relief effort asking all FBS schools in Texas to provide their equipment truck to help transport donated goods to Houston. This was put together in a matter of hours. 8 schools will participate, North Texas being one of them. Trucks will arrive in Austin this morning to accept donations. We need all North Texas alumni / fans in the Austin area to donate if possible. Please help spread the word. Donation Location / Date / Time: Today: August 31 Time: 1pm - 5pm Location: 1212 E. Anderson Lane, Austin TX 78752 They are asking for Non-perishable food (PULL TOP canned vegetables are of great need), personal care products, Cleaning supplies, baby / infant supplies, first aid items. MEAN GREEN for LIFE!!

Plus if we can increase our donations per member each year. NT lacks in donor funding compared to most programs in the Group of 5. I just ask that each of us make a point to give more if possible. Whatever you can increase will help. Every little bit helps. I know some people are maxed out, but I also know that we have a bunch of members on this board that do a ton of complaining and do not give 1 dime to this program. We can only get each program more competitive with better facilities to help in recruiting. Facilities are built with the $$ that we donate. MEANGREEN for Life!!

My dad coached in that district so I got to see some great talent during those years. Saw Rice play several times. But, Earl Campbell was by far the best I've ever seen. I saw Worster in that McKinney game but was too young to really remember. Daunte Hickson, Randy Simmons had unbelievable HS careers, but college was derailed by injuries.

I listened to Dana Holgorsen last week. He said he cares less about recruiting rankings. He recruits to his needs and who he thinks can help his team win. He made the comment that his 2012 recruiting ranked in the 50's, they reshuffled the rankings this year and that class was moved to the Top 10. Everyone needs to tap the brakes on the negativity. 3 years ago, we would have never been in the running for some of the kids we lost, ie McNeal. At least we had a chance at him this time. We all have to agree we needed WR's and OL. I think we did well in those areas.

Saw this kid from the sidelines against Frisco Independence. He's a stud. This would be a great get! Glad to see we offered early

HUGE get!!!

From a pretty reliable source

I thought we had a transfer DT coming? Any news?

all green w/ chrome, is my guess

De Soto Cedar Hill Manvel North Shore Westlake / Lake Travis - one of them will have a top D1 prospect each year

I was called within 30 minutes of the actual announcement. Who handles your account in the AD office? They have us split by last names.

I do not like it much either, If we get asked we need to accept. Those 15 extra practice days will pay off next season! Especially with the younger guys and redshirts. Not to mention on the recruiting trail that we are bowling.

I'm at the Wynn, hit them on the line +18 and the ML!!! Paid for my trip

Yes, Leadership counsel chooses the unis this year. Plus we only have white shoes this year. Cannot wear black helmets and white shoes

FYI, late change, we are not wearing black helmets this weekend. We will be wearing white. Also, the #1 question recruits ask: How many uniform combinations do you have? #2 - How much gear will I be issued when I arrive? ie. sweat suits, backpack, tennis shoes, t-shirts, shorts, etc. We may not like it, but times have changed and they all want some form of black in the equation. Unless you are BAMA or Penn ST. They all have some type of changes throughout the season even if very small.

I watched this kid play against my son in HS baseball. Unbelievable athlete!! Runs like a deer. Great hands, I was surprised that TB moved him to the OF. With our lack of depth, he might be able to help in some capacity this year. To answer a previous question: He never enrolled at any college, so he should have 4 years of eligibility.

I am a second generation lettermen. Our HOF is a joke! I am the first to agree that pre 2000 it was a good ole boy network (change was needed). Since then RV tried to make it accountable, but he and his group failed miserably. They have made it a Hall of Good. To there credit, they tried to make it all inclusive. But in doing this they have passed over many athletes in most sports that are more deserving. I am a firm believer that our HOF should be more on what you did at NT than as a Pro. We have many great athletes that have excelled as collegiate athletes and have not so great professional careers. However, we should still honor them for what they did as a NT athlete. I should never be considered for the HOF, but I have better statistics in my sport than 3 of 5 of this years inductees. I can name 25 athletes from 1960 to today that are more deserving. Until we have strict parameters on how we elect HOF candidates nothing will change. I hope the new AD department will honor those that have made NT great for all these years. If we do this, you might be amazed how much more support your would get from Lettermen.

Lost TV revenue is hurting all C-USA schools. I believe there will either be budget cuts in our AD or we will continue to play at least 1 maybe 2 body bag games per year to make up for the lost TV revenue.

I believe the Mean Green Club sent out an announcement. Plus they ran it on meangreensports.

UNT90, you complain about the Littrell hiring in a earlier post. Who would you have hired?

Still lives in McKinney. Great kid! I know he visited UNC a few times last year. I'm sure he and Littrell already had a relationship working. He is a great athlete with a nice arm.

He started out at McKinney Boyd. Transferred to ESD last year.

Juan Munoz former NT golfer wins Web.com event this past weekend. We have 1 player on the PGA Tour and 2 with full time status on the Web.com. This years team should be good.

Dead period started at 12:00am til Feb 4. If a kid changes his commit it cannot be from any legal contact from the school.

UNT90, please stop all of the negative comments! Everyone knows you hate RV. Try being positive for a change. I think we have a great leader for our FB team. These next few weeks are very important before signing day. Recruits do look at sites such as these to get the feel of the fan base. I would bet that our athletes spend less than 5% of their time with anyone in our Ath Dept., much less the AD.. People like you are why I try to stay of this site. Get behind our athletes! Stop all the negativity. Mean Green for Life!!
