So I am writing comedy now? Funny glowing report?

If you were at the scrimage, and sitting with me and the other 12-15 Mean Green fans in the group,

maybe you would have a different opinion about this team. Several of the veteran's in this group know

college football, and each had very positive views on this team.

I think it would do you some good to talk to the coaches, just like I have.

If you want to see a team that is evolving into a prety good team, watch this North Texas team.

If you want comedy, watch Ball State ex David Letterman.

So what's the overall census on how many wins this team will win this year thru the eyes of the positive veteran's group ?

Charlie,

I agree with you on every level except for one. This is the funniest thing that ever emerged from Ball State, including Letterman.

3 minutes and 54 seconds of comedy gold. It is mandatory that you view this video in its entirety to fully understand the true value of a Ball State degree.

Now, that, was indeed, painful to watch. I can't believe I made it through the whole thing.

Charlie nt73. Nice recap of the scrimmage. As you know, I also feel this team will be much improved over the last couple of teams we have seen play for the Mean Green. Some folks are just not going to find anything positive to say about this coach, this team, this QB, etc. No problem. I understand why they may be a bit skeptical as we have all witnessed some pretty tough losses the last couple of years. But, like you, I think UNT is ready for some serious payback this season. I am looking for a min. of 5 wins and with any luck and a few good bounces, UNT could get that 6th win. I think many people will be pleasantly surprised by what they see against Ball State from the Mean Green.

GO MEAN GREEN.

Sweet merciful crap - you are impossible.

Any hots in the group of men you saw enter the field, or do you subscribe to the "rather have a bushel of 7s and 8s than a couple of 10s" theory?

This is positively shameful. How can you pick on a 73 year old? Are you like the young guy in the keystone light commercial assaulting the senior citizen with beer cans?

Do you also love terrorists? Do you hate puppies? Shame on you sir.

I am not sure, but I am going to go out on a limb and say NT class of '73. Which would be about 59 years old.

WHAT!?!? you mean NT'91 doesn't mean that a poster is 91 years old? Boy I was wondering why we had such an old fan base. Thanks for clearing that up ;)

Since we've been getting along so well lately, I thought I'd give this one more try. I know you weren't trying to be funny here - but that is what made this amusing.

Let's say I take your text and add in an old Mean Green favorite:

1. I arived early, before Johnny Quinn arrived. As he came in, he was carring his pads. The first thing I noticed was this. He looked like an Under Armor model - he's in shape; he certainly has added muscle and shed fat. As the scrimage progressed, you could clearly see he was bigger. Another note- none of the players were

holding their arms on their hips, or looked tired. These guys are in shape.

I mean, that's borderline suspendable! Trust me, I know better than most that we are not allowed to comment on the boys like this.

Having said that, here's to more great practices and a great 12-0 season!

Come on, man. I am optimistic that this team will be improved, but let's not sugar-coat the last 2 years of complete FAIL. Worst college football team of all time was NOT a label that could just be dismissed without real debate. For that reason alone, I don't think people need to keep getting knocked on the head for being a bit cautious as it relates to the '09 version of the UNT football team.

I want to see this team get off to a strong start to help build confidence. More than anything else, though, I want to see this team get into a tough game and fight back.

I've actually switched to the binary code ranking system....1 or 2. 1=yes 2= no. Everyone has different scales, one persons 5 is anothers 8. In the end it all boils down to yes or no, 1 or 2.

      They were waiting for Caponi to come available.

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

      We have only had 4 coaches [I missed Jack Sisco] since 1913 out of a total of 18 who exited North Texas with winning records, Hayden Fry being the last in 1978. Goals and objectives must be realistic and obtainable with a little pie in the sky. Quite honestly I have no idea what we our standard should be, only what it has become . However, expect more are you will get less ,which seems to be the norm for our football program.

      Caponi fired

      I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

      Caponi fired

      I certainly am not making excuses for the termination of Caponi and agree that it was overdue. However I am surprised that our AD and not HC was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger. I owned a medical device sales agency for 30 years and can testify that no one like firing an employee. In fact those who do , unless its a really egregious act, usually wait longer than the should because the real mistake was made by you in hiring them in the first place. Having said that I have never terminated an employ that didn't expect it and in most cases were relieved that the ax finally dropped.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It is obvious that no one is stopping you from voicing your displeasure with the program. I also wonder where you get anyone is happy with the season. As for as the resources, there is no way that you know that to be true, unless you know their NIL numbers and their real budget. Hint, what is reported can be made to look about anyway you want by manipulating the numbers. I am truly regretful that NT is likely not going to be invited to the Rose Bowl and will be relegated to a subpar bowl and opponent.
