Also, saw this article today about why Olawale needs more carries...

http://justblogbaby.com/2015/12/07/oakland-raiders-need-give-jamize-olawale-carries/

"With a struggling running game, the Oakland Raiders need to give Jamize Olawale an increased role in the rushing attack..."

He is certainly carrying the Mean Green banner well

Congrats! I'm sure he loves us..

I was gonna say... how many carries did he have during his Mean Green career? 

 

Edit: http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/jamize-olawale-1.html the answer is not much..

I believe he's the first player since Cobb to receive an extension greater than one year?? I do believe Craig has only signed one year deals and Dunbar is still on his rookie contract.  

Not still on the rookie deal. He was an RFA after last season and signed a tender offer.

IRVING, Texas -- As the second day of the Dallas Cowboys’ offseason program begins, running back Lance Dunbar and punter Chris Jones signed their restricted free-agent tender offers.

They had the ability to sign with another team through Friday but had not received any offers.

The Cowboys gave both players the low tender, worth $1.542 million. Had they signed with another team, the Cowboys only would have had the right to match an offer sheet and not received any compensation if they didn’t because both players were undrafted free agents.

True, but thought it was worth noting that Lance had been extended. Hopefully he gets a longer extension after this season.

I hope Lance gets extended period.  He's proving to be (the dreaded) "injury-prone".  If the team can't count on him to be available to play, they won't pay him to be on the team.

If the Cowboys are willing to keep resigning Sean Lee, then Lance shouldn't scare them.

Lee when healthy is the best player on the team.  As much as I like Dunbar, he is not yet close to the category of player; Lee is.

Agreed, but the guy spends a lot of time on the sideline getting paid a lot of money to do so. If the Cowboys aren't afraid to give big money to a player that spends a lot of time injured, then they shouldn't be afraid to give a player not nearly as much who spends a lot of time injured.

And Lance sure looked to be one of the most potent offensive weapons when healthy.  It's not like he was hardly contributing, so hopefully the Cowboys give him another shot.

      This is what I call a “growth game.” This is the kind of game Hodge can use the film from to show the team the razor thin margin between winning and losing against the best teams in our league. If we are who we hope we are, our team walks away from this knowing we CAN beat anyone come conference tourney time, we just have to execute.

      plus let's not forget a Haggerty prayer from 30' going in. we're likely not into the foul game in the last minute or so without that bucket

      Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.

      Mean Green Fall At No. 21 Memphis, 68-64

      The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat. North Texas’ Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists. UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists. “If you have told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn’t handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We’ll regroup together and get better from this together.” The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU.

Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
