Confirmed for June 11th is All-Conference lineman with 4 bowl rings as well, #59 Weston Thaggard. Thaggard is a 2X shirt and still has those happy feet he always made useful. If anyone has a cowboy boot they don't mind beer being drank out of you might be able to talk the UNT players to enjoy some good times as they did at the steak pit on Bourbon street as they ran out of cups to serve the beer in! I know of 3 or 4 posted players that drank out of that boot!

Game is SET for JUNE 11th 3PM at FOUTS FIELD for the 8th annual GMG.com Bowl Flag Football Game. This could very easily be billed as the last "officially sanctioned" football game in Fouts Field...th

Though I don't play or attend these events I've got to give KRAM credit for working so hard for the scholarship fund.

I'm just throwing this out there....but wouldn't it be cool if two ex players were the team captains and picked their teams? Of course you can have only so many "ex" players on each team. Many of us have played together before so it would be kind of cool to have a little bit of the unknown as far as team selection. I think it would make it a more even playing field.

Just a suggestion. :)

Well, super idea, but we have already selected coaches and they are set for the draft....I think our two coaches will do a good job of selecting so the teams are not one-sided. Of course, as Commissioner and "He Who Will Be Blamed", I can use some draft over-ride if need be...but, I can all but assure you now that the draft will be handled very fairly and all will end up enjoying their teams and teammates.

Looking forward to seeing you again this year at the Bowl Game....thanks for the idea.

Meh. Sure, maybe we've landed ONE solid recruiting class... But I bet KRAM is just going to coast on it for the next 4 years.

How many organizers of GMG Bowl have gotten offers from BCS programs? And does anyone think our GMG Bowl teams would have gotten invites somewhere else without the automatic tie-in?

Nobody will really respect our flag football program until we start knocking off internet messageboard recreational event teams from outside the Sun Belt.

40 years ago, I watched a North Texas booster beat a Tennessee grad in a game of electric football. This is NOTHING compared to that!

Seriously, though... It's like a bowl team reunion. I'm curious to see how it turns out when the forum members who spent all their time and energy tearing down the amazing run and accomplishments of thees former players line up to play football against them.

Should be interesting.

Well, maybe you have given me a new idea herer...how about a game set up between GMG.Com and the SMU board folks????? Once we take down the Ponies we could ask for a BCS challenge...maybe against the OSU posters in Stillwater. Road trip anyone? How about a GMG>com gathering at Eskimo Joe's in stillwater after taking down the "pokie Posters" in flag football? Road Trip anyone??????

Tasty, I did have a message from the Fiesta Bowl folks offering some "financial help" if we moved the game to Arizona!

ONE THING...we need a couple more volunteer refs for this game...so far only FLYER is signed up to ref. Last year it would have helped to have a couple more....$ would be nice...so, if you don't want to play, but would like to help, we could use you as a ref. OK, sure, you would pay the $25, of course, but you would get a nifty swell keen BLACK GMG.Com Bowl T-shirt as a collector's item to have and to hold and to cherish forever.

What say you? Anyone have an interest in doing the ref thing? Ask Flyer...it's easy and no one throws anything at you or even calls you a bad name....well, at least not last year!

HELP...refs needed!!!!!!

Hit me up if there is ever a GMG.com soccer game.

On second thought, I hate doing games like that since players sometimes do not play with the correct outlook on the match. How much fun is it if you have to red card a player in an exhibition? (and yes I have had to do this before) So just tell me if you can't get anyone else at the last minute and I will try to fill in.

This is going to be fun. Think we could get a post going or a list of people who are going to be bringing or cooking food? That's quite a few mouths to feed and I said before we (Luis and I) are going to be grilling after we finish playing but I want to be sure there is enough food for everyone.

I cant believe the draft is already this Sunday. I think the draft will be just as fun as the game itself. "Well, I mean, whats not to like?" (Nick Gilbert) Anyway, hope everyone can attend the draft watching party online.

Gone back and forth on this thing because its on my birthday and don't know if my family will plan anything. Plus, I've never played in it.

But, since it's the last big thing at Fouts, sign me up. I'll still pay the $25 fee even if I can't show up.

The Fake Lonnie Finch:

Shirt Size: XL

Height: 5'9" (list in the program as 6'0" to keep opponents guessing)

Weight: Has been known to go from 178 to 204 depending on whether or not I get my lazy ass into the gym; probably closer to 190 these days.

Playing experience: Haven't played since 2000 on a law school intramural team at Tulsa. Played QB, but haven't throw a ball in competition since then. I'm probably a better clipboard holder these days.

Speed: No thanks. My only vices these days are Pepsi and Pecan Pie.

Tell me who to make the check out to and where to send it.

I'm going to try to get Paul Hartsfield to commit today as well. He lettered here in 1991 and 1992. Was a linebacker. Not a really well known name in UNT history. But, he's a hell of a character if you knew him from back then.

I am going to play this year.

Army of Dad

Height: Listed at 6'0" in high school, must have shrunk since then since I am now 5'10"

Weight: More than I what I played at in high school

40 time: I can't chug a 12 ounce beer, no chance at doing it with a 40.

This should be loads of fun, and I don't think baseball coaching duties can interfere this year.

You "pay at the door" when you register and pick up your shirt.

Let us know as soon as you can about Paul Hartsfield...would be great to have him.

Just heard from Paul Hartsfield and he's in. Forgot to get his shirt size, etc. But, I can get that today as well. He was a stocky linebacker back in the day, so I'm sure he's good for an XL. He still hits the gym pretty regularly.

Excellent news...I'll put him down for an XL unless I hear otherwise from you. Nicely done.

Okay, for Hartsfield:

He wore 52 and 32 at UNT, if these things are numbered. Make his t-shirt XL. Name on back "European." The dude went to North Garland, but...whatever. "European" it is.

Put "Gringo" on the back of mine so I can wear it to functions of my wife's family and friends - they're Mexican.

We have 10 ex-players signed up to play and 1 to help and watch (Brandon Kennedy)

That makes 31 "regular" Joe's and Jenny's for a total player count of 41.

Several others will be coming to watch and help out including Rick V. Trying to get another "special" honorary coach as well. Stay tuned.

This will be an all time great Mean Green nation event....I hope lots of folks will want to come out and watch (free admission, but we might hit you up for a donation to the scholarship fund)...bring your tailgate gear and food and drink...we'll party before and after the game.

Also don't forget those checkbooks for the silent auction...you will like some of the special items we have...rumor has it that we will have an autographed item from one of the best to ever don the Green!

Thanks to all for participating, helping, sponsoring, etc. "See" you at the draft on Sunday!

GO MEAN GREEN!

I have another player to add to the list...

The one and only Cody Spencer is going to be able to make it for the game. He is not promising a lot of playing time, but he's going to be there to say the least.

Please put him down for an XL T-shirt.

Have teams been picked yet? How many players do we have signed up, money raised etc...

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      Not trying to sound like too much of an ass but I'm starting not to care how it impacts high school kids. Many of these are the same kids that you will give a chance to and then they have a good season after one or two years and leave. So if rightly so they are looking after what is best for them universities should be looking out what's best for them and recruit players who are most ready to step on the field and help them play. PS also have an issue with some of these high school coaches who complain that colleges are not recruiting their kids as much but don't seem to want to bring up the fact that those same kids if they're giving the opportunity will leave a smaller school without hesitation if something better comes along for them.

      I had heard one opinion that players is eligibility ran out and are no longer in schools could have a recourse to try to regain some eligibility. This is freaking ridiculous.

      Keeping it real. I like that he's honest with our players.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --
