DENTON, Texas (8/25/08) – Have you ever wanted to talk X’s & O’s with head football coach Todd Dodge? All students will get their chance on Wednesday, Sept. 3 with the first installment of Dodge’s Dog Pound in the Union Lyceum at 7:30 p.m.

The chalk talk session will include the North Texas cheerleaders, the Mean Green Pep Band and coach Dodge answering all your questions about Mean Green football and the upcoming game against Tulsa.

Bring any t-shirt from another college and we’ll exchange it for a Dodge’s Dog Pound t-shirt while supplies last.

Almost forgot about this. The t-shirt promotion is a great idea.

I do like the overall idea but rather than branding it Dodges Dog Pound something along the lines of Mean Green Maniacs would have been smarter. Ties it to the school not the coach - denotes the rowdiest section of student seating - aside from the dog days of summer how does dog pound related to football and specifically NT football?

Something is better than nothing though.

I love it; trying something new to get students involved

(and this type of branding seemed to have worked at www.mackbrownfootball.com)

This is a great idea and other than the name, I'm totally on board with it but isn't it a little bit ironic that the most visible players on the poster are no longer here. I believe that the one on the far left is Korey Washington (10), Eddrick Gilmore (94) is to Dodge's immediate right and Montey Stevenson (79) is to Dodge's left. The other almost identifiable player is behind Dodge with only a '9' visible and that could be Brandon Jackson (49), also departed.

I have to agree that I think fandom should be linked to the University or the program rather than a coach. You never know how long a coach is going to be around, unless it is someone who has committed their life to the institution like JoePa.

What is this T-shirt tradeup?

We have something at Texas State where you can bring in a T-shirt from another school and get a free TXST shirt. Is it something like that?

No matter what the name I hope this takes off. I remember last year something like this was trying to get set up and was met with much negativity. But non athlete students interacting with the coach is a plus.

Dodge insisted on the name so I think we can all look forward to all of you complaining directly to him at the coaches show.

Everyone here say it with me: "Thank you Emmitt"....... for coming up with the T Shirt Exchange idea 7 or 8 years ago.

Indeed. Though I did prefer when it was initially just NORTH TEXAS. But that was probably EJ's best idea...and that's saying something.

I think this a great thing and an all around great idea from many folks. Thanks to Emmitt for the T-shirt exchange that is still going, Dodge does this to get students involved and they tie his name to an area that we have sorely needed to get more students involved. Great idea.

I think this is great. Any chance Todge can take to make himself known and available to the students can only help the program. (Gee, making friendly with your community...hmmmm)

Besides, couldn't hurt when a vote comes up. :lol:

For the naysayers...why not try something new? We've had ups and downs in involvement over the years, but even the ups weren't as high as would be desired. If he tries something new, and it works, great. If it doesn't work, try something else or go back to the old version of the exchange next year. If our new and recent freshmen knew of Dodge while in high school, it might rekindle any thoughts they may have had or inspire enough curiosity to get them out there.

No matter what...again...why not try something new? The old ideas have only been met with limited success.

I hope they take all those t-shirts and throw them into the bonfire.

I believe that is exactly what they have done with a few of them previously - while donating the rest of them to homeless sheleters (or something like that).

What if Joe Student is a hard core Mean Green fan and wouldn't dare own a shirt of another school - does he get a t-shirt?

ABSOLUTELY A GREAT IDEA! WAY TO GO COACH DODGE AND THE ATHLETICS DEPT!!! It is way past time that something positive is done to try to get the students involved more in UNT athletics. To those of you who want to try to find something negative to this...KEEP IT TO YOURSELF...this is 100% positive, and can only have positive results.

Great job...now SHOW UP AT THE GAME...inside the stadium...with the new T-Shirt...just a great idea!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!

This T-shirt Exchange will be run by Talons and Athletics, it is a continuation of what we do all year but this will have a specific shirt.

We currently exchange the shirts "Talons Made Me MEAN" on the front "UNT made me GREEN" on the back

This will be a Dodge T-shirt for people to wear to the games.

Yes we will still take one shirt from each other university and burn it in the bonfire, multiples are donated.

      Check out the viewers for the mid-week MAC and CUSA games. Surprisingly high, but not much other football on then.

      Yes, as NT fans we have seen several years of this style play. But for other teams, and their fans, they don't really understand what is happening. Their team struggles and the game becomes difficult for them to score. They blame their own players and coaches, usually with no credit to us.

      Better, but not great. Rice/Memphis got 407K on a Friday night, so maybe...oh no, now we're up against the Tyson/Paul fight. We can never catch a break, hahahaha, but at least we have our ready-made excuse.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      The raised floor at Williams Arena, also known as "the Barn" in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was designed to improve sightlines for fans and create a buffer zone between the court and the fans: Better view: The raised floor allows fans to see more of the action on the court. Buffer zone: The raised floor creates a separation between the fans and the court. Historic feature: The raised floor is one of the few remaining in the United States and contributes to the arena's historic feel. Unique feature: The raised floor makes Williams Arena different from other arenas and memorable for visitors. The raised floor is about two feet above the ground, which means that the first row of seats are below the court and fans are roughly at the players' knee level. Only head coaches are allowed on the court during play, except for officials and players who are actively playing. Williams Arena is one of the oldest basketball arenas in the country, having opened in 1928. The arena is home to the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team, which competes in the Big Ten Conference. It used to also house indoor football practice, tennis, indoor track, and hockey. The building was remodeled in 1950. Renamed in honor of Dr. Henry L. Williams, U of M football coach from 1900 to 1921, it was divided into a hockey arena on one end and a basketball arena with a seating capacity of 18,025 on the other. From 1950 until 1971, it had the largest capacity of any collegiate basketball arena in the country. More interesting history of "The Barn" are here... https://gophersports.com/sports/2018/5/21/facilities-williams-arena-html

      A real quick check via google can tell you that NT's defense is top 5 in the nation. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/146 While on google, one could also see that NT's pace-of-play is bottom 10 in the nation. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/possessions-per-game ERGO... Teams are going to score much less than they normally do against us, and it's going to frustrate the heck out of their fans if they don't know anything about us except that we're "a good mid-major".
