They killed 4 people and injured and mutilated 280 others.

Rick

The bombing itself killed 3 people though, which is what he wrote. He didn't say they killed four total over a few days.

I never said it was but that part of it is incomplete.

Rick

Yes Rick, but if we are to be fair, it wasn't so long ago that hundreds were killed by Catholic and Protestant extremists in Northern Ireland. Currently there is a Christian extremist group

in Africa that utilizes child soldiers (Lords resistance group in Uganda). I don't think that Christians necessarily need to apologize for them when they talk of their faith nor do I think that

is the case with any other group. All of us are appalled but such activities, but none of us can claim to be part of a group that does not have its own skeletons in the closet.

I actually think Ahmed served his faith well by saying that the extremist hurt all Muslims and don't represent his religion.

If more Muslim leaders spoke like Ahmed, the world would be a better (and safer) place.

I mean.... you're misspelling that on purpose right?

What? We're talking about the Boston bombings and a newspaper article that failed to mention the full extent of the crime committed there. Nothing more.

In that case we won't be able to trust any of your east Texas recruiting observations. Unless you can hear things in a player like Clint Eastwood in Trouble with the Curve... Edited by Army of Dad

Back to sports, I don't understand why Benford gave most of the minutes to Flanagan over Ahmed. Nether were good, but Ahmed should be returning next year. NT better recruit some big men for next year. Other than Combs, NT has a little used Ahmed and a promising freshman.

Because Flannigan is two inches taller and more athletic.

Maybe, but he didn't exactly excel. He did have a few big games, but overall he was very inconsistent. Time is earned primarily at practice, so who knows. It just appeared to me that Amed was never in the game long enough to get any kind of rhythm and I have little confidence at this point in Benford's personnel decisions.

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
