Not sure how they can determine this when players are still shifting around programs and some transfers have never practiced with their new team yet.

The state of this conference from the transfer portal is just sad. 

I hope Damon Ward Jr. has a huge year, but 2nd-team All Conference with 39 receptions for 497 yards and five touchdowns? 

Ikaika Ragsdale had 9 carries for 34 yards last year and is coming off a major knee injury. That’s 3rd-team All Conference?

I follow this team pretty closely and I have never heard of Isheem Young before. Sounds familiar but can’t recall anything about him. He’s 3rd-team All Conference too. 

UNT is going to have to wait until the morning of the game to send that roster program to the printer.

Isheem young is the transfer from ISU and miss state.  He’s been getting all the praise for knowing this defense and he also was first team all freshman at ISU with our current dc

Yes, but Ole Miss, not MS State.

Pre-season all conference teams are based off of past production and potential.  Ward could easily step up and be our top WR this year.  He has the build and ability to put together a big year.

You must think high school players can't be evaluated either, huh?

They can't.  Not for entry on a college all-conference list.  It's about prior accomplishments at the college level that shows potential to be the best this season.  But you know that....I hope.  Geez.

It used to be fun to follow the player acquisition process. I’d pay attention to who we were offering. If a DFW kid committed to North Texas, I’d jump in the car on a Friday night and watch his high school game. I’d scour his Rivals.com highlights too and follow his senior season in the papers. 

The player was going to be a Mean Green Eagle. Just like me. Maybe he’d have some of the same professors I did and hang out at the same places I used to? 


I’d invest in learning about him and would follow his career and development for four years. I’d show up to the Spring game to see who looked good. 

The transfer portal ruined all that for me. It is just too much to track and the payoff isn’t enough. Plus, most of the player movement news at North Texas is that my favorite player is leaving. 
 

I’m still a season ticket holder. I give to NIL and MGSF. I’ll show up with my family to every game we can. But I don’t know who these guys are who play for my school now.
 

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football is at the printer and these guys are still coming and going. It is pointless to follow all this movement. Wake me up when the season starts and tell me who our guys are.

I agree.  As fans, if a player was committed to playing for NT we became invested in them.  We wanted to know their background, their skillsets, and supported them their whole journey while at NT each season as they grew. 

Now, there is no long-term commitment by players.   The fans are left empty with no heroes to follow from the previous seasons.   The thrill is gone.  The product has changed, and not for the better.

Can we just retire the adoption thread this year, at least in protest?

We can change it up...if your player is actually on the team at the end of the season....you get a Jimmy John's gift card or something.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      @Meangreen Fight are you sure budget figures and endowment are interchangeable? Because that is how I think you came up with those figures.

      I agree with what GMG_Dallas said. He's been this way since the beginning. It's only more highlighted this year because the offense floundered and couldn't keep up so those errors are magnified.

      Great ticket deal

      https://x.com/MeanGreenSports/status/1861787605844562167 Take advantage people!!! Some good games on the schedule for both men and women! $3 tickets till Friday at noon for women's games 12/19 vs. SMU or their first ever national broadcasted game Sunday 2/9 vs. Tulane for example. If you're off on NYE buy $5 tickets to see the men host UAB at 3pm on ESPNU.
