i think people should settle down with the criticism of the writer's description of north texas. he was trying to emphasize the fact that these two great backs are playing at a "lower level" school, so he's obviously going to have to lower us a little bit more for the feat to seem more impressive. it was a great write up about our school and our backs.

Fouts in disguise biggrin.gif

I know where the reporter is coming from looking at Fout's exterior, but as you MG61, the entire Mean Green Nation and I would know, there is nothing high school'ish about the interior of the content of this photo and last I heard......they play football games inside the stadium. rolleyes.gif

THe SMU guy's comments still continues to "bare to all" a few a$$es over on the Hilltop, though. laugh.gif I still know some from SMU who are not of that crowd, though; just happen to work with one of them matter of fact.

A Tech guy at work told me about this at lunch, and went and bought a copy there. A UT and an A&M alum were there and both agreed that we might have the strongest backfield this year.

Above the fold - I am impressed and proud.

Someone want to link the series of photos of the NORTH TEXAS/Baylor game of 2 years ago to see if those scenes looks high school'ish? cool.gif  Fouts is going to be just fine until we move into a new stadium;  in fact, an ex SWC alum who sat with my group 3 years ago said "Fouts is not as bad as advertised."  I told him it was probably many of us NT alums who want a new football stadium so bad who made Fouts Field seem worse than it is (and for the most part) we make such opinions known on these collegiate message boards. rolleyes.gif

These two guys deserve the press- they have the talent and discipline...but more than anything else, they have character. If they didn't, then we'd have a big problem as we'd have to decide to who start. But since these two are just such great people, they're fine either way. I admire their ability on the field, but I admire their character even more. There are a lot of players, especially in the NFL (cough TO cough) that can learn from these two.

I'm getting a copy of the paper. Too bad I missed the FWS-T last week.

Allow me blow this out of proportion. This is the kind of great publicity that will attract people to Fouts. Ask the guys at Ok St. when Barry Sanders was there. The fans knew he was great, and some of the media, but it's Stillwater afterall. People from Tulsa don't even go there. We are nestled in the backyard of DFW, so we have a lot more people to draw from. If we win a few OOC games, we may be looking at good crowds. Bigger crowds = more money, more money = new facilities. Plumm take it from here...

I've said it before, I'd take a bullet for Patrick Cobbs, and another one for JaMo.

EagleD, we will all take it from there. rolleyes.gif

I think as of today we just sold a helluva' bunch more tickets to watch Mean Green football this Fall because this kind of front section/page 1 national pub for our guys just authenticates the hell as to what we have all been trying to do on a much smaller scale to those we all encounter here in the Metroplex and other parts of Texas.

I mostly hope many, many, many from Denton County are being made aware of this special unique coverage that our Mean Green are giving to all of them up there, that is, all this promo from their only "home county college football team."

I work with an LSU guy here at the office and even just this AM he gave me a "thumbs up" on the Mean Green coverage in today's USA Today which he heard about on KTCK 1310 The Ticket. (George Dunham made a comment on this article and nice color photos of our guys).

The "real" Fouts in disguise.

If that is the real Fouts in disguise from the Baylor game, where are the "5,000" Baylor fans and their pretty yellow shirts?

I asked our engine crew to stop by 7 eleven to pick me up a copy. This is just amazing, simply amazing. Daily National Hype! And a dead on accurate report on all accounts. I love the part where DD responds to the criticism concerning the level of play in mentioning the Colorado game. Now the team has to live up to this year's hype. The pressure is on to repeat as well as get some OOC wins to finalize the deal.

Well said Rick. And I picked up two copies. One for myself, and one to shove in my ut brothers face!

      College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud

      No upsets, no road wins and a parade of blowouts suggest the sport’s new postseason format is in need of a rethink. Ever since college football introduced a four-team playoff a decade ago, analysts and armchair quarterbacks had salivated over the prospect of adding more teams to the mix. When the sport announced an expanded postseason bracket for this season—with first-round games held on snowy campuses in December—fans were positively drooling. read more: https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/college-football-playoff-ohio-state-texas-penn-state-notre-dame-7ee4d3dc

      Similarities Very similar: Products of winning programs. DeSoto should have won at least one State Championship under White and Jimerson did. Both are/were pass first quarterbacks though dual threats to take it to the house from the pocket or roll outs. Both are/were high IQ quarterbacks that rarely make mistakes. Huge passing/rushing yardage throughout their career. Both are/were undersized by P4 standards Both were surrounded by exceptional P4 talent with explosive offenses Both ran/run 4.4 40's. Neither received serious offers to play QB Differences Jimerson is about 5-11, 165 to White's 5-7, 155. White was the starter for 2 years and Jimerson since his freshman year. Jimerson may be better passing out of the pocket. Both are/were equally accurate passers, White may have been a tad better. White committed to UNT as his lone offer before committing to TCU. Jimerson committed to TCU first before signing with UNT. Though White decommitted from UNT, I still feel he was the better overall HS quarterback; with less weapons. RB Dontre Wilson was a national recruit that committed to Oregon but signed with Ohio St. Just some thoughts
