If you are ever in Washington D.C. In May or June, try to attend "Evening Parade" at the Marine Barracks. The Marine Corp Band and the Marine Corp Drum and Bugle Corp put on a wonderful show. Evening Parade is held on Friday nights and free tickets are required. Call well in advance. John Phillip Sousa was the first co neutron of the Marine Corp Band and to hear The Stars and Stripes Forever live, where it was first performed is really inspiring. Talk about bring a tear to your eye....

Happy Birthday to the United States of America

This mean green family is in DC this week for the 4th. I met a nice couple in the capital building who asked me about UNT and mentioned they both went there as well. I've seen several Texas rangers shirts as well. Happy 4th mean greeners!!

If you haven't been, every American should try to make at least one visit to Washington D. C. in their lifetime.

I was there at a church related national convention for teens in August of 1963; actually, one week before Martin Luther King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech. (I was 12 years old). President Kennedy had been scheduled to speak to our church group's national congress that week in August, but Jackie lost her newborn baby that week so the President was by her side and had to bow out of his speaking engagement. I remember being so darn disappointed that I didn't get to see and hear our President but understood why he needed to be by his wife's side.

For certain don't go to Washington D.C as a Democrat or a Republican, either....go as an American. We are (after all) on the same Red, White and Blue team here.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
