Nothing like a little Reo Speedwagon to get you going in the AM. #Hit6

I think I might have missed something...

Is the Hit6 hash tag in reference to hitting 6 wins this season or something else? He seems to be puttin it in almost all of his tweets recently.

Hit 6 TD's per game?

I really hope not.

"Take It on the Run" is a good jam, though. For us in the slightly older than young range, anyhow.

[Christopher Walker]

The Athletics and FB accounts have been using #hit6 as well... With no explanation. Usually these things are self evident...

Vito's blog today confirms that it is their mantra for getting 6 wins and becoming bowl eligible...

You know, if you ever get the chance to see an old concert video of Pudwagon with Gary Richrath, you've got to see it. His facial expressions and butt-wagging are priceless. He had a kind of cool "whistling" noise-guitar solo style, too. Very unique.

I got to meet Gary when I worked a concert he was doing back around '90. The dude is a character.

That is his goal? Really

Not a winning season, not 12, or 11 not 10 or 9 wins not 8 or even 7 for the winning season but 6 to have a tied season.

Now that is freaking leadership, aim high, aim Chico high.

God I hope our defense can carry the team.

[UNTLifer]

I think if is the minimum goal. Let's get to 6 and then shoot for 12

Agreed, if this is true then this is beyond embarrassing. Even as a coach of youth teams, I'd never dream of setting .500 as an end goal before the season even started.

[greenminer]

You know what's embarrassing? People here actually interpreting this as our team's ultimate goal.

They're going to go into every game to win it. Stop crying as if they circled 6 games as losses.

I hope not but it sounds like it. Maybe people around here should start demanding more.

[JesseMartin]

Well, it does say "hit 6" and not "finish with 6". Maybe it's short for "hit 6 as fast as we can first and then see what our end of season goal should be," but that would be a bit long to squeeze all together with a hashtag.

[unt_rocket09]

Maybe they are being realistic! Hell we haven't had a winning season in 8 damn years. I'm pretty sure at the end of the season if we were at 6-6 most on this board would be happy.

[IslandEagle]

Maybe no connection, but Dajon's jersey number has been changed to #6

[GOMG2013]

Yeah, he took Jordan Gill's old number...

[Mean Green 93-98]

Does that mean Jordan Gill quit? Or changed positions?

Scholarship guys get priority with numbers over walkon guys.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I was going off of his statement that it was his "old" number; i.e., already gone. Maybe I read too much into it.

[Ibleedgreen]

Scholarship guys should NOT get priority over walkons where numbers are concerned. That sucks. Walkons work harder in some cases.

I think Coach Chico is in an extraordinarily great mood of late because I think he has a good reason to be with this upcoming

Mean Green football team.

I have a good feeling about this team (as I know many of you do, too).

GMG!

Consider me cautiously optimistic.

Canales posted a picture on twitter a couple of days ago of him & his QB's, there's a #11 there but it doesn't look like Gill. Not sure how to link it.

[Aquila_Viridis]

I have no issue with setting achievable but difficult goals. 6 wins or more is not going to be easy this year. It would certainly be a huge step in the right direction, and it is a meaningful number of wins. Honestly I will be astonished if it happens, but it IS doable. We are where we are. In the overall scheme of things, yes it's deplorable that 6 wins against this competition is a stretch for North Texas in 2013, but we have to look forward, at least that is, as long as we can keep looking.
