One of the interesting aspects of the proceedings was that around 400 players participated, up from just under 200 last year. There were guys from Texas, of course, but there were also players from Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas and surprisingly just a couple from Louisiana, a state UNT used to recruit heavily. UNT has backed way off the amount of time and energy it spends on the state, but I thought there would be a residual effect.

I remember a few weeks ago I was unhappy bc our QB/DB had been shown no love from the UNT staff. Well I talked to him last week and he will be going to a UNT camp, I was all smiles once I heard that. SMU has already offered, but I'm hoping he sees the light!

Lp QB Jordan Jackson will be at the Deer Park camp on Wednesday. He is really looking forward to visiting with Coach Canales and the rest of the UNT staff.

Texarkana linebacker Anthony Rhone is coached by UNT great Cody Spencer.

I was about to be like, "what?! What happened to Coach Norton??" Then I looked things up and remembered that my high school has an obscene amount of football personnel. That being said. Cool!

Also, anyone else notice that Nathan Tune will be returning??

Far cry from the Fouts days. If you ever don't think facilites are not selling points, think again.

Imagine having an indoor facility, for the Denton camps, on those hot summer days. Would be a solid selling point. Recruits love splashy facilities

Tune is returning to Denton to coach at Denton High. May also still be on the quest to find his missing dog!

Good one, Marty! :)

After all of ours major disappointment with MG basketball with a true NBA talent on last season's team, many of us have gotten very gun shy as to get too optimistic about many things concerning UNT athletics, but for the life of me I am feeling good about Coach McCarney and what he is doing with the football program.

Many of us have now gotten to the level of almost zero tolerance with future W/L records in Denton being above .500 or else.... :) and that because of our having so few winning seasons in football since 1970 (and I will not list the numbers on that)...........

.............but if some things fall in place this Fall for our UNT football team we could possibly even have the kind of season the U of L Rajun Cajun had in the 'Belt 2 years ago when they were picked by pre-season football magazines to finish last in football yet went on to win the SBC, go to the NO's Bowl and then beat the MWC's San Diego State Aztecs in a very exciting game.

I realize many don't much believe that similar Cinderella stories could happen in Denton because of what losing has done to make us a jaded, but maybe we just all need to start believin' in the Mean Green once again?

As bad as its been, North Texas football never got as bad as this Big 12 school as seen on the YouTube video:

OK....here is that video as promised.... :) The opening scenes showing KSU's W/L stats before Snyder arrived are mind-blowing.

Folks, it will soon be "OUR" time.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
