Something odd about NFL alums from the Sun Belt...

All of the current Sun Belt (minus the 2 brand new FB programs in Florida, which have 3 to our 5) and the recent former Sun Belt schools have more players in the NFL than us. Is our coaching staff that superior to the rest of the belt?

P.S. Go to www.sunbeltsports.org and vote on the poll for NT as the winner of the conference.

I think it means that sometimes we dont jsut recruit great athletes but rather we recruit players that we know will be great college players but not neccessarily NFL players.

I don't think any of us are recruiting "future NFL players" per se. Nobody predicted Jake Delhomme to be in the NFL. LSU didn't want him. Tulane didn't want him, etc, etc. Same for some of our DBs in the NFL now (Tillman in Chicago and Taylor in Pitt). Sometimes we get a "prop" or partial qualifier that just couldn't get into a BCS program; but more times than not, the guys develop while we have them and when they get their opportunity they are making the most of it. A lot of it is just luck!

      Just for fun

      So, I was thinking. There’s a high probability Chandler is going to get poached next year, unfortunately, so I wanted to see your prediction on who our qb will be next year. Just because it’s an off week and this is all in fun, my ideal scenario is to keep Morris.(both of them) plus, if one of us turns out to be right we get bragging rights!! lol That being said, I could see a certain former Guyer qb, that has recently lost his starting job, come back home and spend a season with the new qb whisperer!! That’s right, Jackson Arnold. predict away! cheers fellas!!

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      Houston started to look like Fritz ball tonight. Cougar now has 2 wins. Raise a toast CQ and savor the evening. Good win over Sonny. Fort Worth looks bored directionless. GMG

      The Answer is Marketing....

      We all love Grant. Think it was a typo. Tough name for GM and auto correct. I don’t know about the dormant alumni. They seem like lost causes to me. A buddy last weekend who never goes to a UNT game though a grad, was happy to send me pics from smu where he went to see his beloved Noles. No connection to FSU but he was there. He doesn’t disparage UNT but doesn’t care either. And the silly alums on sports radio apologize for speaking about UNT or giving an update about a G5 team. Spineless. Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game. Have a Mariachi Mean Green crew like they do at Texas Rangers. The mariachis on mariachi Monday walk around the concourse in their Ranger red outfits smiling taking pictures with fans. Then they play a few sets on the big screen and boom you get a unique group of peeps you look forward to seeing. The coolest thing this season was all their close ups of their championship rings as they strung their instruments. Could be a nice link to our Denton Hispanic community. Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. GMG

      Portland Watching Party?

      I don’t think you’re going to feel in danger or anything. I go out most evenings when I’m there. It just isn’t that lively since so much has been shuttered. If the weather is nice, though, it might be livelier than I’m thinking and I’m told the city has been taking an effort the last few months to clean up the sidewalks. The area around Powell’s books (which you definitely should go to) is usually pretty busy and touristy. There are several really good brewpubs nearby and a dive bar or two. Feel free to DM me if you want any recommendations.
