Well that is really different.

Do dare say that last time we had an offense or more specifically a defense highly ranked we won the belt.

Anybody know the NCAA records for single game passing and receiving?

And if the defense comes around by the time Belt play arrives this could be a Mean Green Christmas!

By the way, someone asked earlier in another thread(to which I can't find now?) about "Where" are all the freshman WR's TD brought in?

B.J. Lewis had 3 catches for 9 yards and I believe Sam Dibrell got into the game as well but don't hold me to that about Dibrell.

Big kudos to the Dallas Morning News as well. :rolleyes:

I opened the sports section to see DM and Casey's names at the top of the lists in the "Command Performances" or whatever they call it these days, and NEITHER was there.

Good job, Dallas Morning Fishwrap. :angry:

And to only slightly hi-jack the thread...this type of football fills seats...your average Dentonite with molderate intrest in football...or sports in general likes scoring and is a hole lot more inclined to go to a 6 and 6 team throwing for 700 yards than a 8-4 or 9-3 slow plodding, defensive minded team. Points and yards are marketable!

I think the quote goes something like this...

"Offense sells tickets, defense wins championships" I think it was Vince Lombardi, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I agree this is a more marketable brand of football, good for putting butts in seats at Fouts, but if we are going to win anything of consequence, we need to find a way to stop the other team from hanging half a hundred on us.

I trust Todge will find just those people for us in the next recruiting class or two.

Call me the pessimist but I would have rather had the Win against SMU than the moral victory with all the stats.

Fire away.........

Me too, but rather than a victory (after all we won last year) I'd prefer to see dramatic improvement and I saw that. If this team keeps improving then I will be happy, regardless of the win-loss total THIS YEAR. Now, next year the only stat I might pay attention to will be wins, but I recognize that this inevitably is a building/development year.

      Let’s start with Odom as our interim DC. I heard he was also interim DC for USC not long ago? Anyone know what’s his story?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!
