So now we have an smu guy posting on the GOMEANGREEN site being answered by a guy from cougar high all on the NORTH TEXAS fan site.

Hmmm…Maybe it was Jerry Reed. Thanks. UNTCAMPBELL.

If Vito says OK, I’m in.

Here’s a couple of North Texas/DR-C fun facts. At one time, the DR-C beat writer was a guy names Jerry Reeves, like the popular country/novelty song singer. He and I had a fairly “out in the open” feud in the Letters to the Editor column. He was very critical of North Texas Athletics. Randy Cummings covered North Texas for a long time. When he left, I wrote in my Letter to the Editor note about Jerry Reeves, “Where is Randy Cummings when you need him ?” Randy is the official scorer at almost every North Texas home basketball game. He’s the handsome man in the black and white striped shirt.

I hate asking this i hate to ask this i don't want to ask this, but If he is as good as advertised, and I guess he is, why is he coming here right out of high school ?

I agree with the above and fully intend to include douchecanoe into my vernacular as soon and as often as possible.

My wife’s nephew is coming in Monday.

Go back and read the 8th post in this thread. Houston Eagle says, “…get a degree from CAL Berkeley instead of UNT.” I’m simply asking if it’s possible to earn a degree in 1 year at CAL having attended 4 schools previous to enrolling at CAL.

Sincere question…Does anyone think Chandler Rogers is enrolled at CAL for no longer than a year and already qualifies for a degree ? A check, maybe. But I can’t imagine anyone graduating from anywhere, as mobile as he has been in college, in one year.

When potential players come to Denton, whether out of high or college players looking to transfer , who pays ? Transportation ? Hotel ? Meals ? If North Texas pays, are only the most likely prospects invited ? Or, if a players really wants to come here, can that player pay his own way and visit with coaches ? Is a tryout expected ?

Like it or not, the Hayden Fry story goes from SMU to Iowa. He just stopped in Denton for gasoline.

I don’t see North Texas ever putting another freshman QB on the field. Except for an Alex Morris-Mason Fine situation, the transfer portal is likely going to be our source of “one-and-done” QBs. And as El Paso Eagle points out, why put a lot of energy in improving a QB that will very likely transfer given the opportunity ? We need a serviceable back up QB but I think the days of mentoring a youngster are over.

Does anyone remember Jalie Mitchell ?

And, and I hate to ask, what will our uniforms look like ? Will “mean green” be self evident or will TV viewers wonder “why do they call themselves ‘Mean Green’ ?”

Congratulations to Todd. Now, somebody tell me who Ulys Knight is.

We can commiserate about portal loses.

Why is he a receivers coach ?

Why would a coach allow a player that has declared he’s entering the portal to play in the bowl game ? Seems to me one of the advantages of going to a bowl game is extra practices. Why practice with a player who has indicated he is leaving ?

Thanks Side Show. Well that really is small time. I see this as a ”must do” for the AD. Exposure is a principal reason to play ina bowl game. Exposure for the teams playing. Not the stadium.

Will the end zones read “North Texas” and Texas State” or “smu” and “mustangs” ? Seems like a recent bowl game played on a campus still had the school name in the end zones.

Is it an absolute lock we are chosen to go to a bowl game ?

“You should have did your home work.” ??? It’s clear the English department at The University of Houston isn’t in the running for a national championship in grammar. Do you think he actually has a degree from Houston ? The University of Houston, that is.

I’ve seen our name at road games written out “NO TEXAS.” The AD shouldn’t allow that. Write out NORTH TEXAS or NORTH TX or MEAN GREEN.

Certainly didn’t mean to tip you over Coffee, but even before I could drive and was mowing lawns, I had a business arrangement with my customers. I mow—You pay. I never got stiffed. You’re exactly right. They’re kids. But they want to participate in an adult world and get paid and they’re not qualified.

All the above is true. If a “real business person” were to make a deal with a person that might be a supporter of a particular university, he/she would get it in writing and, there would be recourse if either party didn’t follow through. These aren’t real business people. They’re like catfish. Attracted to the first shiny object they find. When the shiny object is jerked away, they don’t know what to do. They’re kids. The same way they “commit” to a school and then “de-commit” when a shiny object catches their eye.
