As many of you know, one of our great former Mean Green players Johnny Quinn is a participant on the US Bobsledding Team which will compete in the upcoming 2014 Winter Games. I know all of us are proud of Johnny and his accomplishments, including his induction to the UNT Hall of Fame last year. #81 is now moving his game onto a global stage where he will represent both UNT and our entire country.

To do their very best, the US team needs our donations to help them get the best equipment and support. For a small donation, Johnny will personally sign an 8x10 bobsled picture for people to display at home or office as an appreciation for supporting an Olympic hopeful. He also has other photos as well - Green Bay, UNT, etc.

I have attached 2 links, one to Johnny's website, and one to the interview from CW33. Please check them out and do what you can to help support one of our very best in a worthy cause.

Is that really Johnny in the photo?

Yes it IS him!! he needs our help -- if you have a Mean Green room this is a must have item for the wall. I have mine in my office. The Winter Olympics is not like the Summer Olympics...the participants need financial support to make it happen or it won't. Please help if you can! GMG!

This is great timing, I talked to Johnny online the other day. He has so many cool things going on and of course there is no way to say which is the coolest! He's also speaking to organizations all over the place to help spread the word and raise funds; if you want him to speak at a meeting or function, PM me and I can give you the email address of his scheduler.

Since Johnny is from McKinney, I'm trying to see if he wants to come to any of the Allen watching parties and bring his pics. We'll see. It'd be good to have a spot where folks could meet him face to face and make donations in person.

I've been talking to Johnny some more about fundraising options and if you looked around his website a bit you may already know this, but he's sponsored by AdvoCare. If you go to the page mentioned in the first post (but not the "Store" part) www.JohnnyQuinnUSA.com you'll see a link for "Johnny's Nutrition". You can buy packages of multiple items meant to be used together or you can look around and buy them "a la carte" but what's cool is that a portion of every sale made through linking off of his page goes directly to his Bobsled fund. Because it's top-of-the-line stuff, it's a bit pricier than what you might normally get at the supermarket or local pharmacy, but I'll be ordering a couple of things just to help out a bit. Remember that if you order anything, if you want his fund to benefit, you have to link to it off of his page and not from anywhere else.

What do you do in a wipeout like that? Just hang on and pray and hope the sled stops soon? I am sure getting ejected out the back is not much better.

Just saw Johnny and the bobsled team in the pre-opening ceremony shots. His tweet about it being so awesome gives me goose bumps. What an experience for one of our own.

GO Mean Green!

GO USA!!!!!

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.

      Underrated win in my opinion. They're 3-4 but have just 1 bad loss. I say bad because I don't know much about Norfolk State. Otherwise UC Davis has the 11th ranked scorer in the country and could make some noise come conference play.

      My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs. In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family. I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.
