I think Hill and Cook are the best options , I don't know but Shorter looked shaky to me... I thought Jamel Jackson and Roderick Johnson were supposed to be our return men this year ???

Who's fault is it that the other 2 missed PATs were missed ??

2 / 5 on PAT's is one of the worst stats I've ever seen

Dodge blamed UNT's blocked extra point and field goal on Jeremy Knott not getting the ball high enough off the ground.

Isn't this always the reason kicks are blocked ?

I think he was just inferring that it wasn't a leak from the line where someone got through to block it.

I love Dwaylon Cook on returns. Now I have only seen him against Rice, but he is a North/South runner and runs hard and breaks tackles. Shorter carried the ball too carelessly leading to his fumble and Fitz didn't look comfortable receiving punts, as evidence by his fumbles/muffs. Cook looked much more athletic than any other return men.

I suppose those that actually get kicked, yes. But with poor coverage the place kicker could get demolished along with the kicker and the kick could be eaten by the defense.

Cook sure looked good on TV that is for sure. Maybe he can catch some punts since North Texas fair catches EVERY punt. They have no return game last season or this season. Dodge fair catches every punt by design.

I love Casey, but this is good news.

I think playing with a separated shoulder might cause problems holding on to the ball, and not getting coverage blocks also adds to the problem.

jamel jackson was all the talk out of camp, but broke his collar bone...shouldn't he and rucker be getting back on the field soon? also, the angle the cameras had for our extra points showed that knott's kicks never made it half way up the uprights and when they passed the line they were only about 8 to 9 feet high, if that.

      WBB vs. Rice

      Yes CC Kid .. I noticed the same. Great effort - mostly in 2nd half. Slow starts have hurt. We can rule out a couple games, but this does seem to be fairly common. And you can see the diff. when it happens. just look a the NT vs Memphis mens game .. intense from the start and entire game focus affected. But hey, the teamsare doing really well this year !!

      PAC is back

      I grew up with "Eagles" and have never liked " Mean Green ", because we are not mean [look at our football record ] and not green [ we have an underfunded athletic department.] I agree with lack of media contracts as a deal breaker but don't know if we would want the travel required for all sports anyway. The BIG MOUNTAIN WEST podcast brought the subject up stating that the PAC and Texas State were in serious discussions and if they came then UNT or UTSA would be their next logical target so you may want to watch it. I don't have an opinion as I am really surprised that NIU joined the MWC for football only. According to the MAC bylaws you must have all your programs in the conference in order to be a member. Unless they change them then NIL's best option appears to be the MVC for all other sports but who knows.

      Nice Article: Maintaining Success

      as a lot of big time coaches have said... if you want to immediately improve your team, getting everyone's effort levels up will do that... Since McCasland started his run, the Mean Green have been all about effort, and Hodge has done an excellent job of transitioning into the HC role. It's been talked about ad nauseum, but the Mean Green have an identity. The identity is f*ck you, you aren't going to get easy passes, be able to breathe with the ball in your hands and you're going to be complaining to the refs all game about how physical the team is. It's going to be ugly, and we are betting that we are going to be better than you in the last five minutes of the game. Credit to Hodge for bringing in the right players to keep this thing moving forward. I am looking forward to the rest of the season and hoping for some hardware

      SMU 's New Facility

      the facilities look great. Unfortunately, unless things change around Denton quickly, the reality is that SMU is playing a completely different game than the Mean Green, good luck to you, but i don't know why you are coming on here to post topics of a team you probably won't play again for a long time... (maybe basketball) Good luck to you.
