Junior linebacker Travis Thompson has left the team, although he could return at a later date, coach Darrell Dickey said. The former Northeastern Oklahoma A&M standout played sparingly in the Mean Green's first three games, posting one tackle. ... Running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Bruce Bell will retire at the end of the season, his sixth at the school. ... Sophomore defensive end Jeremiah Chapman (sprained ankle) sat out practice. Tight end Robert Harmon (sprained knee ligament) practiced, but has been limited. Both are expected to be ready for UNT's game against Troy on Tuesday.

See later posted DRC full article on Bruce Bell.

Bell is one of the "good" guys, he reallly had good connections in Houston (he was asst AD for the Houston ISD where he coordinated the efforts of 23 high schools from 2001 to 2003) and his departure will be a loss for North Texas. I wish him the best, he will be missed.

So if Cobbs doesn't make it to the NFL, can we hire him as RB coach? We'll have a vacancy...

I think Ericc Peagram still wants to get into coaching.
