DRC: Littrell's rise in coaching was largely because of his skills as a spread guru, Wilson's was tied to his recruiting prowess. Now they face off

Great article. I'm excited to see Fine play in a Dome against a middle of the pack pass defense. I think we'll learn a lot about Fine this game since defenses know they need to stop Wilson to win and playing in a dome, weather will not be a factor. Hopefully he gives us the performance we all believe is capable of pulling off!

Fine has burst on to the scene at UNT and been a big part of the Mean Green’s rise this season. He has thrown for 1,099 yards and four touchdowns.

...and only two interceptions.  I believe one of the most, if not the most, important QB stats is TD/INT ratio.  At 2.0 Fine's ratio is the best we have had since Scott Hall averaged 3.0 over his last two seasons.   

A lot of other stats can changing depending on the scheme.  But a good TD/INT ratio means the QB is a good risk taker.  He knows when to force the throw and when not to.

Even in DT's senior year his ratio was only 1.2 (16TD 13INT).  Take a look at the box scores of the games we lost.  UGA was #9 and we did well to hang with them.  However the other 3 losses where to UTSA by 3, Ohio by 6 (OHIO    Jovon Johnson 42 yard interception return) and Tulane by 3 (TULN    Lorenzo Doss 59 yard interception return).

A little better TD/INT ratio and maybe the team ends 2013 at 12-1 instead of 9-4.

I disagree.  I think it's rather simplistic.  Rick Gosselin has a much better article comparing UNT and SMU situations today.  

You are getting down voted, but you are right. Gosselin's write up on both was solid.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Maybe we'll end up as Fenway Bowl foes in the future like y'all and BC did.

      DRC: UNT hires new volleyball coach

      Don't know what changed but after a seven-game losing streak, the ladies take down Wichita State and Rice at home in one weekend to clinch a spot in the conference tournament, where they will take on Rice again. Rice was 13-2 in conference coming into the game and Wichita, the tournament host, was also Top 4 in the league.

      UNT Athletics | UNT Board of Regents Approves Athletic Center Phase 1 Design

      DENTON, Texas – UNT’s Board of Regents has approved the completion of design work for phase one of the Athletics Center expansion, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Monday. "As we face new challenges ahead, we're excited to move swiftly with Phase 1, taking full advantage of the momentum we've built and the resources at our disposal in an ever-evolving construction market,” Mosley said. “I am deeply grateful for the many individuals who have stepped up to support this effort, ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible experience for the young men and women in our programs. The student-athlete experience, capital investments, and NIL opportunities are all integral parts of the puzzle we’re working to solve every day. Our dedicated Mean Green donors and alumni continue to rise to the occasion, making a profound impact. I encourage everyone to identify the area they're passionate about and join us in this exciting era for UNT Athletics!" More than $4.4 million from 38 UNT supporters has been committed toward the anticipated $10 million fundraising goal needed to complete phase one of the Athletics Center expansion. Total cost of the project will be based on the price of materials at the time of construction. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size. Phase one will include a 50-yard plyometric turf, 16 high performance dual-sided combo racks, 4,000-square-foot of open floor, 1,000-square-foot mezzanine of cardio, and a 1,2550 square foot nutrition site. Expanding this space will enhance UNT Athletics' competitive edge by providing student-athletes with a premier environment to train, strengthening their physical abilities, mental toughness, and well-being. This area will also promote increase team building and cohesion, allowing our student-athletes to foster a sense of team unity and camaraderie. Currently, UNT Athletics has the second-smallest weight room in the American Athletic Conference. Phase two of the expansion project will include improvements to sports medicine, the football locker room as well as additions of a new academic support center for all student-athletes and additional premium seating for DATCU Stadium. Phase 2 would follow the completion of Phase 1 and by way of a successful Phase 2 campaign. The UNT Athletic Center was originally opened in 2005 and is home to administrative offices, football coaches' offices, football locker room and equipment room, but it is truly the home to all Mean Green athletics including sports medicine and rehab in addition to strength and conditioning. We encourage individuals interested in learning how to support UNT Athletics to contact the Mean Green Scholarship Fund staff at MGSF@unt.edu or by visiting MeanGreenScholarshipFund.com. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact and helps advance our mission toBuild Champions and Prepare Leaders. For more information visit: www.MeanGreenSports.com/ACExpansion
