NASCAR has their haulers, and all the big boys have one, now we do. Saw this today by the locker room. We just need to replace the swan on the hood with an eagle. Yes, the band still has theirs.

Very nice rig. What is on the back?

Almost looks as though it has a tommy lift on the back. It also looks like it is a refrigerated trailer. (Notice the rectangular, beige box on the front of the trailer? Looks a lot like a compressor unit.)

BTW - There is a new UNT outdoor board on Central ExpWay in Dallas. IF you are traveling south on Central the board is a left hand read between NW HWY and Knox/Henderson. (Big gap I know - I just can't recall exactly where it is - Might be close to Lovers/Southwestern.)

I'll bet that's an A/C unit, since it has windows in the trailer.

Saw it again tonight, actually has a/c and is an office on wheels. Bet it is used for college days at high schools and other places. I thought maybe it was the equipment hauler, but it is not.

The outdoor board on Central is at University. A supreme F U to smu.

I thought at first that it was a combined effort from the College of Visual Arts and the College of Trucking at UNT.

Whoa!

Yesterday I was at the Cotton Bowl(State Fair) and tU's longhorn truck was parked outside the team lockerrooms on the south side and I thought...Damn, how nice is that, sure wished NT could have something like that someday?

Now we do.

Thank you Peterbilt.

There's now a billboard just after the southbound I-35 on-ramp in Gainesville now that says "Welcome to Mean Green Country". Gave me the warm fuzzies when I left G-ville.

Well, good news and bad news. Good news is its UNT truck. Unless this a rolling office for the coaches, its not for the football team. It has a glass door entrance w/ a desk & chairs. Then a door to somewhere else in the trailer. It also has a huge a/c unit. After I took the pics, Little Guy's pulled up to the locker room. If you thought Tx's rig was nice, you should see Nebraska's.

Well at the least it is for athletics, as the sports website is on the side.

After talking to some folks checking out the truck much prior to the game... this is the private truck of an individual UNT superfan. Really an incredible setup. It is my understanding they used to race or still race motocross and had the outside painted Mean Green Colors and turned it into a tailgate lounge. If anyone else knows any particulars please share. Pretty cool.

I heard that the owner had a son or daughter go to UT and the truck was painted orange with all the Longhorn stuff. Now, his daughter is here at UNT, so he said it was her turn, so he had the truck painted like this for her.

I actually got a tour of the inside. Very Nice. Hardwood floors throughout, the back room is like a small living room, the hallway leads down to a bathroom w/ shower and then into a kitchen area. Very nice set up. The owner's son attends UNT and used to race motorcross. The son said the family has had the truck sitting for several years and decided to paint it with the UNT colors and use it for tailgating. Very nice setup

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I'm not rooting for Temple next Saturday. I'll never cheer for UNT to lose. But, even if UNT beats Temple by 100 points, Morris still needs to be fired. This season started 5-1. There is no excuse for dropping 5 straight games. Just like there is no excuse for blowing 21 point lead to an interim head coach... at home no less. The portal changes everything. That's why other AAC programs are able to fire their coaches in their 2nd seasons at their schools. Morris has already had two season to fix the defense. He hasn't been able to fix it. I can't think of any reason why he might magically figure it out this off season. These are Morris' FBS wins this season... USA 6-5 (bowl team) Wyoming 2-9 Tulsa 3-8 (Fired their 2nd year coach) FAU 2-9 (Fired their 2nd year coach) Morris has built a team that for the most part, only beats bums. We saw this movie before with Littrell. I'm done with this crap. It's time to rebuild.

      What is this program missing?

      Their coach was previously at LSU and was pushed out for NCAA infractions. He is a good very good coach and recruits well so I personally am not troubled by this road loss.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Not sure everyone is understanding of college football landscape. Miami paid a transfer DL $250,000 AND THE DUDE DOESN'T PLAY, He is a back up (insurance policy if you will.) I totally understand on not wanting to throw money at players but the reality is if you can pay, kids will join. If not, you're relying on finding kids who don't care about money (GOOD LUCK) and just want to compete and win football games. On our current roster 4 players from Littrell era contributed to wins this season. Jordan Brown, Damon Ward, Jett Duncan, and Rod Brown. We played 10 games with a very sub par DC. We did not pursue the portal near hard enough to help fill holes in the defensive scheme. IMO at our level we should be a 4 down front with the ability to hop in and out of 3 down when needed in favorable down and distances. 46 players on the current roster are Jr or Sr. The vast majority of this roster are So, RS Fr, and the biggest group being true Freshman. You don't win a bunch of games at any level with a bunch of true freshman. The fact we've been in them to compete has been a miracle (No I am not happy we aren't pulling them out or winning.) The young and transfer talent they have brought in is encouraging to me personally. Should we play better, should we be making more plays, ABSOLUTELY. However, coach can't catch the ball for guys, coach can't catch wide open TD's for guys. Coach can't magically make a walk on WR/ ST guy into a bonafide D1 RB. Our scholarship RB's have been banged up like crazy and we have relied on a walk on, and 2 True Freshman RB. I think we go to Temple, play very well and get into a bowl game and then its on. Coach lost our most productive OL in pregame to a freak injury...... PREGAME. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. Is he perfect? no, but to call for the staff and his job is silly in year 2. The guy did a total rebuild last year and had us IN games with a completely rebuilt roster. He needs to make the right DC hire in the offseason. My pick is La Tech current DC. We will see what happens.

      What is this program missing?

      We need an offensive coach who puts the defense first. All the teams mentioned (Boise, Tcu, Cincy, UCF) had badass defenses paired with high flying offenses. You CAN still play fundamentally sound defensive football but you can’t pair it with an offense that kids don’t want to play in (what doomed Mac). I actually think DD in 2024 would do both. So the answer is find the next Darrell Dickey. HFC is tricky to hire. He’s got to be someone that can recruit assistants, first and foremost. Dickey had been around a long time and came from a football family (his Dad was KSU HFC) so he had ties everywhere. With a young coach you are betting that he, himself, is going to win games and account for a lack of a deep staff…or that other coaches see him as someone on the rise that they ride the ladder with. That’s what Littrell initially brought and his first staff was tremendous. Then as they started taking promotions he couldn’t replace them. I don’t know this for sure, but Morris doesn’t seem able to bring in enough experienced coaches, yet. His first staff was extremely underwhelming from a resume standpoint. All the doom and gloom in this thread is tiring. UNT still funds the football program at a level that is competitive with the top of the g5. Maybe we need to bring up NIL, but overall, we’re not nearly as far off as some people would have you believe.
