Just a reminder that the first episode of Beyond the Green premieres today on Fox College Sports and tomorrow on Fox Sports Southwest.

Thursday, September 5 - 5:00 PM CDT (Fox College Sports Central)

Friday, September 6 - 5:00 PM CDT (Fox Sports Southwest)

North Texas athletics is partnering with Fox Sports Southwest, CSN Houston, Time Warner Sports and Fox College Sports to produce a new television show that will begin airing next week. The show, Beyond the Green, is being tailored after HBO’s Hard Knock’s and ESPN’s All-Access.

The goal of the show is to humanize not just the football team, but players and story lines that develop throughout the season. The executive producer of the show is Ashton Campbell, a North Texas graduate who has years of experience in television. He has produced shows for CBS College Football Confidential, the Big Ten Network and Yahoo Sports. Below is a sneak preview of the show and a segment from the pilot episode.

This program is being produced and directed by Ashton Campbell an RTF Graduate from UNT. Really nice guy -- I got a chance to meet him on Saturday. He was working very hard, and as we all know it was blistering hot. Can't wait to see the show! GMG!

If you have AT&T Uverse you can order the premium tier for $7 a month and get some really good sports channels and HD Net, MGM movie channel, Sony Movie channel. I think our games against UTEP and UTSA are broadcast on channels in this package on TW Sports and/or CSS.

This is not listed as coming on @ 6 tonight on Time Warner Sports on my Uverse DVR. I am recoording that time slot to see if it is a mistake though. I am an HD snob and can't watch Fox College Sports for that reason. I am also recording the HD broadcast on FSSW tomorrow.

The episode seemed like a good start, and definitely leagues better than the old Mean Green Insider. Production is a little rough, and some odd decisions here and there (having clips of Jub calling the game right next to him narrating the show, for example). Really enjoyed the locker room scenes, and hope there's more behind the scenes like that in the future. The segment on the centennial celebration was interesting too.

I thought the show was pretty solid. Like ColoradoEagle said, there are a few things that could have been edited slightly better but overall seemed like a good documentary-style show. They profiled the controversy behind DT being our starter and a little bit about our program's history and the then a whole segment on our 100th year anniversary. The last segment showing our first game was good, just thought they could have ended it with something more...it kind of ended a little abruptly. McCarney can really pump the team up and I liked they showed those locker room scenes. I hope we continue this beyond this season!

This documentary is such great exposure for our program and is exactly what we needed. Times are finally changing around here.

Jub doesnt narrate the show. Hank Dickenson is the VO narrator.

Thought it was pretty darn good! Really enjoyed the interviews with the 100 Year players and the segment on DT. Thought DT handled it very well.

Plus, as has already been mentioned, this exposure can only help recruiting and overall exposure for UNT.

I just set up the record for the entire series. I also had to do a double-take when I saw the image associated with it on DirecTV -- the putter on the green. It's even labeled as a "golf" program.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.
