It is your patriotic duty to tell the new editor (moved to DFW in March) how much of an idiot he is and that he should take a journo class or two in Denton to beef up his understanding that he needs to research before writing an article for any paper larger than the Greensheet.

I am officially declaring a Green Jihad on this article.

That's what we get for reading trash like the D.O.

Poorly written to say the least. First, the stadium was built with taxes, or, then it was built with donations and fees? Which is it dumbass? Second, we shouldn't build stadiums because the team hasnt been winning, unless your the Rangers, who is winning and at the top in the MLB in attendance? Again, which is it dumbass?

The DO is complete garbage. Always has been. Didn't even need to read the article. Knew exactly what that average writer was going to say knowing it was from DO. I'll be buying my 25+ group tickets for the Sept 10th game on Monday with pride and will support the MEAN GREEN no matter what. I've had my critisisms in the past (like we all have) with certain decisions our school has made over the years, but it doesn't mean I will drag UNT's good intentions through the mud. As we all know, UNT has needed this for years. Great, now let's build a team now that we have the proper resources. The UNT alumni's attention is growing. No question. By the way, I work in a building overlooking SMUt and I predict school leadership and alumni starting talks on upgrading Ford already after seeing the greatness that is Mean Green Stadium. Mark my words. Oh and I like the uniforms. Now just put the symbol that is UNT on the helmet RV. Had to throw that in there. ;) I am a writer, director and designer. Branding is everything and the time for establishing that brand has come.

Looking forward to being with you all this season. Go Mean Green. -JRock

Unfortunately I live in Waco and the only Supposidly Sportstalk Radio station in Dallas

I can get is 103.5 The Fan. If I go about 5-10 miles to the north I can get 1310 The

Ticket. I hate 103.5 The Fan because they give us no kudos at all. Anyway I wish everyone

some day could call in 103.5 and invite them to the first game and let them see first hand

the great new stadium we have. All I can say is:

GO MEAN GREEN. GO NORTH TEXAS FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

See everyone in about four weeks. Does anyone have any word yet on a seating chart for

everyone? If not then when does anyone think we will have one.

Do you have a smartphone? I use FStream app on my iPhone and listen to The Ticket all day long here in New Braunfels.

Need to win...as many say on this board often, winning solves all our problems, silences all our critics...gotta win

Not sure it would work in this case. Winning doesn't make people intelligent or capable as a journalist/researcher.

      bad night. ECU loses bad...at home. RJ Felton goes 1-12 with 5 turnovers. could read that as a fluke, or maybe that ECU is pretty spare. High Point loses to UNC-Greensboro...who again, don't look awful...but a W would've helped our resume UTSA, down 14 at the half storms back to force OT against an infinitely better program. I'm gonna assume St. Mary just started coasting and let their guard down USF barely beats 1-7 Stetson Evanston lost. McNeese lost. AAC looking like a 1 bid league again.

      Green guys take this one 61-55.

      UTSA (3-3) in OT vs St Mary's (7-1)

      Even forcing overtime is something of a miracle.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I hear you, and I appreciate that you're reading deeper than surface-level statistics. You raise good points and have valid concerns. To further add to the context of all this, I think it's worth noting that UCF was Sam Houston's second game of the year, which means it was the second game of Cassity implementing his system. Similarly, Texas State was Sam Houston's fifth game of the year, so both UCF and TxSt were within the first half of the season. While we all wish and hope for instant change, it's impossible to have a unit firing on all cylinders with a new scheme in the first half of a new coordinator's first year. When you take that into consideration, I think the important thing to look for is growth/progress/improvement throughout the season. After holding Texas State to 39, they held Western Kentucky to 31, Jacksonville State to 21, and Liberty to 18 as the season went on. WKU and Jax State are #1 and #2 in CUSA playing in the championship game, and Liberty finished the season 8-4 with a win over East Carolina (a team we lost to with an interim coach). Further, Texas State put up 28 on now 10-2 Arizona State (who's likely headed to the CFP) the week before they put up 39 on Sam Houston. An 11-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston isn't terrible in game 5 of a new coordinator. If you wipe out TxSt's defensive touchdown and consider it 32 points given up by Sam Houston's defense, that's only a 4-point difference between a CFP team defense and Sam Houston's defense. I know this isn't all an apples-to-apples comparison, and I agree that his decline from year 1 to year 2 at ACU is concerning. However, I think there are some arguments to suggest Cassity's defensive unit did pretty well in year one of implementation and showed respectable growth over the course of the season, which makes me skeptically optimistic.
