In that particular pre-season we were picked low nationally & picked to finish 5’th in the CUSA West Division—yet at the end of that season I suppose the Mean Green players didn’t read the  pre-season pollsters & would be rewarded with their going to a January bowl game in Dallas & playing before the largest gathering (ever) of Mean Green fans, approx 40,000 green-clad fans.  

••• North Texas won the bowl game & here is some of the crowd who witnessed it.

On paper this is the most talented team Seth has had. If Rudder is as talented as expected and PB can get the D to respond I believe we will have a surprising successful season! GMG

I agree, Big Z.

 Even more ironic (in a way) is how some of Seth Littrell & Company’s best recruiting present day is coming out of the UNLV & Nevada territory.  Let it fly! 🦅

Your endless optimism Is admirable @PlummMeanGreen . It really is. 

MGM, it’s all those ‘dad blamed’ Norman Vincent Peale Positive Thinking rallies I attended in my younger years fault.🥶 •••Seriously, I’m sure we’ve all had our down moments, though.  It’s staying down that’s the real problem & that can ultimately  be unhealthy.

Truer words...

It was a pure nirvana for Mean Green fans, cogido.   

That day at the giant indoor pre-bowl game gathering George Derr had our table bent over in laughter when he said: “Fellers, I remember years ago at some home games when we were on first name basis with everyone inside the stadium.” 🥱😆

Couldn't agree more!! Incredible day and fun to have a New Year's Day Bowl for the Mean Green. 

Fun/Sad fact: This is the first UNT football win I saw in person.

My first 2 years at UNT were '05 and '08 (0 home wins these years). I didn't get to as many home games after that as I wanted and I guess I was bad luck! 

But this got me motivated to be a proper fan/alumni and I have been a regular attendee to most home games since then.

Yours is the kind of personal testimony that if multiplied by the number I think is more than do’able will get AD Wren Baker to start creating blueprints for a 9,000 seat double deck on the Student Side.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
