Hey all,

For the past few years now I've had a webpage that I've maintained with assorted North Texas football items of interest but mainly schedules and results (both past and present). With the hiring of T. Dodge in December, and the acquisition of new software, I decided to begin an overhaul of this page. Laid out similar to ESPN's website, I've updated the page to contain, more information than I had available in the past.

My work developing this page has helped me, relieve stress at work and at home during my recent wedding. In addition, I learned a few things about web development I had not known earler, an added bonus to my effort which will help further my career in IT.

Now, I feel it is time to share my work with the rest of you. Take a vist, and tell me what you think, I apprecaite your comments, and hope to continue maintaining it throughout the rest of the season as time permits.

As noted, the page is laid out similar to ESPN's site, and the team logos are from Yahoo! Sports.

Smitty had previously created the North Texas logo you see as well.

Just took a quick glance. Looks good. Very good. Loads quickly as well. I like putting faces with names for the coaches - will bio info on them be added? Nice work.

The site looking great very informative and a great layout. I like the links to the conference pages I'd probably add a link to the teams messageboards. Allow ad drop down menu to look at this years recruits but I've gotta say great job; I've got it book marked and will probably use it instead of ESPN for gameday info during the season.

Looks great. One suggestion you might consider is to provide a link to bios of the coaches.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Also I didn't realize how cool the schedule and standings section was it covers every year we've been back in D-1 and you can see the results of every team in the conference I'm impressed.

Something like this would be an awesome front page for gomeangreen.com. With some php tags in it, it could easily be database driven with articles and the like changed on the fly.

Your request is complete... oral commitments section added. :)

Also, I have added a link for the coaches bios, pointing to to NT Athletics site. :)

Keep the suggestions coming. I'll see how I can incorporate each on the page as time allows.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments, they are appreciated.

Keep the suggestions coming.

I would replace the coaches pictures and links to their bios with pictures of The Dancers and links to their bios.

Excellent work.

Great looking page. I would suggest a UNT football history page. We do have some history that is worth talking about.

Thats a great idea...many young mean greeners out there are not too familiar with our athletics history besides a few of the obvious ones we always here. If its possible maybe you can include a year by year synopsis with schedules, scores, players that year and etc. Afcourse that will take more work and time but over time if you can do that then it would be absolutely wonderful.

I totally agree...way cool feature! THANK YOU for working on this...I too will most likely use this instead of the ESPN page. GREAT JOB!!! :)

Good stuff! You have a great page. I like the layout and how the coaches info is also posted right there on the front. Very easy access to the most commonly asked NT Football questions (Recruits, coaches, schedule, etc...)

Great job!

GREAT page! Have you considered a more permanant home to host it and/or domain name? I'd be willing to donate time, server space, etc to the project if you are interested.

That really looks like the start of something that could be big, especially if it was merged with or co-marketed with GMG.com.

Let me know if I can help in any way. Keep up the good work!

Looks great...especially the forest green!!.... :)

Ok, let's not start turning this thread into another "which shade of green is better". ;)

Please, we don't need more of those. :ph34r:

Thanks, to all for the kind words!

Why not? Arguing over shades of green is one of our new traditions! :)

      What is this program missing?

      I think even if one of the seasons with Mason Fine had been an 11-1 or 12-0 season, it wouldn't have made a long term difference. We would not have enough alumni support to continue building off that.

      What is this program missing?

      IMO, the main issue is fan support. We have a very loyal core group with lots of fun things such as the canon, the Model T car, the "North Texas" chant ... but that core group is too small. Previous administrations spent decades tamping down any enthusiasm for sports at UNT, leaving it an after thought for many alumni. It would be much easier to recruit and high great coaches if we had 25k at each game and a community that really backed the teams. Suppose we had beat Navy, went on the beat Army, and finished the year with 10 wins. I don't think that would move the needle much for next year. It would be very difficult to have enough winning seasons to slowly build a winning tradition. Long story, short ... winning at football just isn't important to enough students and alumni. I will agree with others that having our own Boone Pickens would be a great benefit if they could give a lot and have patience. I just don't see that person walking through the door anytime soon.

      Bumping because his name keeps getting thrown into the hat. Can someone please explain the appeal of Carthel for DC and exclude any “coach in waiting” argument?

      Is Chandler Morris healthy?

      Not nearly as accurately as he was before the Tulane hit.

      What is this program missing?

      Simple. UNT has never won the conference and doesn't have a signature win that captured the nation attention. No 2-10 Arkansas doesn't count. UNT also needs a Heisman Candidate to be the face of the team. It was ALMOST there with Mason Fine but it was squandered, opportunity after opportunity keep being missed. Until UNT has a marketable face of the team, actually take down P4 opponents and win the conference, the same story will keep repeating itself. UCF had Blake Bortles take them to the Fiesta Bowl and a big run followed by Milton McKenzie beating Auburn. Boise had Kellen Moore, Jared Zanbranski and others followed with wins over Oregon, Georgia, Oklahoma, etc. Cincinatti had a 14-0 run to the Sugar Bowl followed by back to back undefeated runs with Desmond Ridder. Houston had a great 2011 run with Case Keenum where we beat UCLA and Penn State in a January Bowl Game. In 2009 we beat #5 Oklahoma State and Texas Tech back to back. In 2015 with Greg Ward Jr, we went 13-1, beat Louisville, Vanderbilt, ranked Navy, ranked Memphis, ranked Temple in the AAC Championship and Florida State in the Peach Bowl 2016, we had Ward back and Ed Oliver and beat Top 5 Oklahoma and Top 5 Louisville on National TV.
