Eagletalk?

[GreenBacker]

I am at UNT alum, but my obession with the mean green has really just built over the last few years. I had gotten used to checking Eagletalk.net, but have noticed there have not been any recent updates. Anyone know if this site is going to continue?

Welcome to the board, Dodgebacker. We had a discussion about this a few days ago (click here), but nobody in that discussion had anything to report.

Welcome to the board! We had this come up a week or so ago.

I couldn't find any ties for the owner of Eagletalk and UNT. He doesn't live in North Texas either -- he lives in East Texas.

The man who owns Eagletalk used the site as the USM's fan site in the early 2000's. He worked the site and quickly it became popular enough that he parlayed it into the rivals fan board. Then he wrote articles for Rivals -- seemingly as a job. There seems to have been some drama with some of his stories and the fan boards, and he no longer was at Rivals. However he still had the Eagletalk domain. It sat idle for some years, then he re-spun it into a Mean Green (Eagles) site and I think he was hoping to get it onto Rivals. His old Rivals ties may be the source of his information, that others didn't seem to have. I dunno.He stopped posting stories as soon as Troy Phillips unveiled the UNT Rivals -- maybe a complete coincidence.

It is a mystery, fo sho.

Maybe he could get it on SportsBlogNation if he wanted some pub. A lot of colleges have sites on their network now
