It's great to have you here coach. I look forward to seeing you again at the games. And I make a motion that you be added to the GMG.com Bowl game list prior to tonights draft.

Question:

Any oppinion on NT going back to the 4-3? And will we have enough D linemen to fill in the new places?

As far as the uniforms go, i'm not too picky. I do love that new eagle logo being all over the helmet, that looks nice! My only thing is let's establish a uniform and stick with it. There have been way too many changes to our uniform and logo. Look at the great teams, Ohio State, Texas, USC, Michigan, Florida and so on. When was the last time they've chaned their uniforms? Have they ever (besides the obvious upgrades with the times). Change it and let's stick with it. I don't like the Scrip though. New Logo on a green helmet.

That would be nice. :)

Great post, and nice to have you on board. I really would be interested to hear your thoughts on what how you see players fitting into the new system.

As for who I am, you may remember me as the guy walking around practices a lot wearing a red backpack. :)

Glad you are here! Looking forward to your views on Plumms posts...

:lol:

Coach Archie probably doesn't have the time to read most or any of my posts, eeally! :P Hellsbells, I rarely read them myself! :blink: I have increased my keyboarding WPM since I've been posting them to look at the upside of some of those epistles. As this is post #8,755, I guess I should be keystroking at 100 WPM, right?:)

BUT....................I can remember (as a young alum) when too many times I rarely paid attention to what some old geezers had to say, too, although I would have been the wiser to have done so especially as they outlined some of our past history that we've (unfortunately) repeated way too much. But lets wipe the slate clean because it appears Coach Archie has and after all, it's a..................

A WHOLE NEW DODGE BALL GAME @ NORTH TEXAS!

Yet............a very impressive post from an NT Ex I feel we would all agree. Welcome to this most diverse board of opinion, Coach Archie.

Glad to have you on here Coach Archie! I've coached with a former member (R.G.) of Dickey's staff and is now in the High School ranks and speaks highly of you. It's nice to see guys like you who have played and coached at North Texas getting behind the program and rooting the football program on. I think the potential of this program is great, and its nice to see former members of the Mean Green football family come on board and totally support that. Shoot, now instead of worrying about halftime adjustments, you can head to the letterman's lounge! B)

Coach Archie glad to have you aboard!

I have to ask - How did you feel about the tortillas being thrown when we scored?

You should come out to the GMG Bowl IV!

Okay, is there anyone on here that I know personally, maybe played with. I can't tell since everyone has code names. What's up with this Baby Arm fella? Does he have a small arm or something? I've seen Firefighter rick around I believe, and I met Emmitt on the bus down to UT, I think (I also met his mother-in-law when I went to visit coppell). So could everyone reintroduce themselves for me? Thanks!

BabyArm here... AKA Andy Imm. The BA name comes from Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket. It was a term that came into used on the station by listeners (P1's) and staff after once telling the story of a guy with a small arm, It mainly came into use as a greeting or parting referrence..... "Ok good talking with yall, Baby Arm!" Some would also use "lobster claw" too. Anyway I was a listener to the station and used it when making up my account name on here a few years back.

Been thinking of changing the name though. Not in use much anymore on the Ticket especially since the Rant show on Saturdays is now gone.

That's crazy talk.

What else could be a greeting OR mean goodbye...

Hey Ramone, what was the fast-money question that got you to answer "Dick" for the 10 Grand? (sorry if already asked)

The Fast money questions were as follows:

What is something you forget to do when you go on vacation?

Name something you eat with butter?

Name a place where you have to be quiet.

Give me a nickname for Richard.

Name something that is associated with December.

Ironically all of the number one answers were "Dick" :lol:

Great to have you here coach!! The slate is clean and who could fault you anyway, especially after coaching two National Rushing Champs... nuf said!! Hope you are doing something you like and your tallents are being used elsewhere. I am personally greatful (not that it means much) that you stepped up to join the board and let your Mean Green shine, Thank you!!! We look forward to your input on this board.

I DO have an NFL related RB related question -- I am a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. I see the success of Maurice Jones-Drew who is 5'7" and weighs 212 and I think boy.... Patrick Cobbs could have made that cut or split those defenders or made that block.... For the Dolphins with their RB troubles I believe that he should be Active, not on the practice squad. Maybe he can show them more this year since he will be with them the entire training camp and pre-season, instead of bouncing between teams. You coached Pat.... what are your thoughts???

Well, I actually didn't coach Pat. I was hired just last year. Just from watching him play though, given the opportunity he can definately make a roster spot. In my opinion the NFL and College ranks are full of good running backs. Even in high school. I mean there was a running back from Aubrey that rushed for 2,600 yards last year alone and got no interests from any colleges. I say that to make this point. It's all about being in the right place at the right time and when you get that chance shine! He had a pretty good pre-season last year hopefully he can continue that into this year!

Thanks for your input Coach. I always want to see more UNT guys "make it". Patrick seems like a heck of a guy. Talented and just an exceptional individual as a person. Like the Little Engine that Could...... I think he can, I think he can and I am sure the he thinks it too.

Yeah I noticed from the Family Feud pics that "Dick" pulled down a ton of points. Pretty damn funny.

One thing that I don not like about fouts ... is the track that surrounds it. When we would got to other stadiums to play the crowd was more into it because they were like 5 feet from the sidelines.

I agree 100%. Or, in coaching parlance, I agree 110%. ;)

Thanks for posting and best of luck to you in the future - unless you ever coach for SMU. ;)

I'd be interested in having some real football input from Mr. Archie, X and Os, what defense to use it this situation or how the offense works here, nuts and bolts stuff. How often do you get a coach to help explain some of it to you. So many people get the basics of the game wrong.

Some day you may be fortunate to meet "hooknbull". He's an ex-NT player from the Hayden Fry era, who, if you ever sit with him at a game, will disect every X and O, and every defensive scheme known to man,each and every play. He really gets into the game and a very fine gentlemen to know.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
