Neat story he shared - evidently the manager of the hotel where all of the SEC opponents that Georgia plays at stay called UNT Director of Operations Scotty Conley and said that he had not seen a more polite and well behaved group of players ever stay there... wow that is just a testament to the impact of Mac on this program.

It made me remember a certain towel situation that occurred in the Simon regime and how embarrassing that was. Again just another example of how Mac has fixed the foundation of this program. GMG!

That's awesome! Who knew it was possible to play good football AND mold the players into good husbands and fathers.

Indeed...think that could be possible in men's basketball as well?

In all seriousness...this is a testament to the work Mac and Company is doing to create a great team AND a great and positive reputation for UNT overall and the football program in particular. He knows, as do most of us, that most of these players end their competitive football careers at UNT, and will be professionals in something other than football.

This shows respect for others, respect for the team, respect for UNT and personal respect. Great story. Very proud to be a member of the Mean Green Nation.

Not the towel incident! That was the worst. When it first happened on the busses it was funny watching the guys who took towels return them. However, when the other busses were doing the same thing and we could see how many players were involved it started looking really bad. Plus, the police were overseeing the return. Totally shameful. I walked into the Tavern that night when we got home and everyone already knew about it. Including the news. Awful.

Filled the main dinning room again.

when was the towel incident and at what game?

Idaho, I'm pretty sure. The towels were decorated with fancy Idaho mountain landscapes, and would have been pretty tempting as souvenirs.

EDIT: Whoops, it was Utah State. Here you go:

North Texas had its players return the towels before they left Logan. North Texas coach Matt Simon then ordered his team to clean up their home stadium Sunday as punishment. He considered sending them to a nearby department store's white sale, but quickly realized they'd actually enjoy that.

"We've had that happen quite a bit," Baugh Motel manager Elizabeth Maughan said of towel nabbings. "We've had some teams from California take them. We had one coach make the team bus pull over and empty their suitcases."

This is why my favorite part of "Beyond the Green" is hearing Mac end each post-game speech with a reminder to the men of his expectation that they represent themselves, their families, and the program well off the field.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
