So I pick the F5 up at school to take him and his sister to their bi-annual dental check up and the dentist office is in Horned Frog land. As soon as we walk in and the girls at the front desk see me(a walking Bill Board of Mean Green Spirit) I get a "How bout that Mean Green?". One lady is an alumn, another's daughter is currently attending school. Both watched the game Tuesday night. Then we get back to the room and our dental assistant is married to an NT alumn and it was Mean Green talk the whole time the kids were getting their cleaning. She and her family also watched the game. The Dentist, himself an Aggie walks in and also gives me a "How bout that Mean Green?". I had forgotten, one of his daughters is also currently attending North Texas, and he's BASKETBALL stoked to the hilt over his Aggies and now the Mean Green. As we are about to pay up front, the assistant comes up there and she interrupts and asked, "I completely forgot to ask you about your new football coach. My husband is pretty excited etc...." She shouldn't have even got me started with that one. We finally make it out of the office.

Next we go to the Purple Cow to eat lunch. As you would expect there are TCU sports posters up in the place but we got two "Go Mean Green"'s yelled our way as people came in or walked by the table.

Pretty cool day to say the least.

IT'S ALL GREEN, AND ALL GOOD!

----I went to the barber this morning (in Midland) with a NT shirt on and one of this first things he said was he watched them on TV Tuesday night.... Winning and sports gets us publicity..... can't emphasize this enough.

Did you, by chance, ask them to buy season tickets to basketball and football and actually attend games? :ph34r:

      Big dumb question.

      Contracts could be for one+ year(s). Employee status would bring tax questions into play. FICA and income taxes would be due .

      Do we still only play 7-8? 😝 This is what I have. This was tough. We’ve had some pretty great players. Lorient is more potential that straight up production. Starters: Javion Hamlet Rubin Jones Aaron Scott Thomas Bell Zach Simmons Reserves: Ryan Woolridge Tylor Perry James Reese Brennon Lorient Abou Ousmane Too good to leave off: Deng Geu Kai Huntsberry Moulaye Sissoko Jason Edwards

      Big dumb question.

      Why put players under contract when in the current form, you can just dispose of those who aren't performing every season? Scholarships are currently renewed on a yearly basis. Putting players under contract would mean you'd be looking at deals worth 2+ years. What happens when a guy just isn't working out but you're on the hook for another year so the scholarship can't be used for somebody else? I know you could say with "NIL," you could just give enough to cover tuition and some extra but I doubt the boosters would want to pay that much for an unknown player just because a scholarship is used up on another bad player. Reality is, coaches hate when players leave after a great season but those same coaches are quick to push guys into the portal if they're not working out. I'd be all for contracts at our level, though. Contracts mean you can include buyouts so if you really hit on a prospect, I'd love for UNT and our NIL to get some money back for developing a good player.

      If you were given ten picks to build a roster (so, a starting five and five off the bench) made up exclusively of players from the McCasland/Hodge era…who ya got?
