Great! Thank you. Do we have any insight into the PWO and the possibility of them receiving NIL funds? I feel if HS is going to be less recruited because of the TP,  PWO with NIL payments could be a great option for HS kids. GMG

I loved this inaugural GOMEANGREEN National Signing Day Super Show. It has great information and very good production quality. Hopefully it will become an annual event next year.

A lot has changed for us since the olden days of recruiting speculation on Harry's Mean Green board prior to signing day and the simple Signed NIL list in the newspapers.

Those boys got faces fit for radio and voices for print but it was a pretty informative show. I agree with Billy on the B+ grade. I think that is fair, and the class was impressive given the short time the staff had, but probably not the type of class we would celebrate otherwise or keep U.S. competitive in the AAC. Next year will be the real challenge and a better judge of whether they can win longer recruiting battles.

Harry's Mean Green

Build Your Own Dial-up ISP With A Raspberry Pi | Hackaday

Yeah, that was the wild wild west days of the internet, long before there were closed sites and passwords. We would read the info on Harry's Mean Green and then go converse about it on the "Paradise Board" with the lawnmower banner add.

People from various schools were constantly screwing with each other's fan boards. Totally untraceable. We had trolls like Loyalfan (Dickey lover) and Whitman Mayo (Trilli hater) that lived on our board.

And yes, signed Letters Of Intent were faxed to each school back then. It would have been so simple to have a dozen fans fax a bunch of black papers to a school all day and really screw up their signing day, or worse yet, forge signitures of some of their highest rated offerees that they were not going to get.

      True Freshmen Receiving Seasons - Coleman, Sides, Young

      Morris has talked about it before but with high school signees there is a much stronger relationship built with them and their families, as well as between them and the University itself. To a high school signee, this is their home and the only college they have ever known. To a transfer portal it’s just the next stop and a chance to bump up their stock for a better NIL/program opportunity. A freshman comes in and has a good season, they’ve successfully taken the first step at UNT in the plan they laid out when they came here. A transfer has a good season here and they’ve gotten what they wanted out of our school and program and typically will leverage it into a better opportunity. In terms of retaining players, you’re gonna have more success with the guys you got out of high school. But even if it’s just for a season, you still take guys who can produce like Morris and DT out of the portal all day. All about finding the right mix now. Definitely agree about the o-line and play calling. Looks like we have some quality help coming to supplement guys like Blair and Nelson. Play calling definitely has room for improvement, especially on those money situations on 3rd down and in the red zone where we weren’t near as highly ranked as our overall offensive statistics were.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      What if we stopped patting ourselves on the back for being disappointed at the result after losses and see if that works? Maybe that’s what’s holding us back. Being so proud that we don’t accept moral victories instead of actually figuring out how to get real victories. Everyone is always so happy to say they don’t accept moral victories on here when we lose without actually digging into the details to refute the optimism beyond a simplistic statement. Almost every good season we have had in the last 20 years was followed by a losing season. Most of our good seasons were followed up with losing seasons. A lot of our losing streaks were preceded by wins that showed weaknesses that could be exploited by better teams (i.e. FAU this season). Some of our best winning streaks were on the heels of losses where we played tough against a good opponent, like Iowa in 2017. All that to say, it’s not all black and white. We can and should analyze the nuances and details in between. Our HC has done nothing but churn out elite QB play from 3-star and below rated QBs for the last decade as an HC and OC, most recently evidenced by one of the most wild instances many people around college football have ever seen. We hired a DC who had a top 25 defense in the FBS and is bringing 5 starters and 2 more of his backups from that defense with him. There are logical reasons for optimism coming out of this bowl game and acknowledging that doesn’t equate to complacency or prevent us from turning the corner as a program.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      lol I can't believe the bowl officials didn't paint the endzones for Mean Green/Bobcats. They left it at Mustangs.

      EM thanks the UNT fans

      There have been several on here talking about it, like you, I don't feel like searching and pasting. I do agree that 6 wins in a better conference is not the same as 6 wins in a lower conference. I think the major complaint is that we have now had 2 years with similar results as the lower conference and I think the frustration is that we are just maintaining without a true drive to be the best of the conference. I get it's hard, and I don't have an answer as much as the other armchair QB.
