All black? Why? Lets focus on getting the correct color green first.

Specifically: The Buick (Coach Dickey) was fired before the year was out... but was insanely allowed to finish the season. Before the last home game, without telling the AD or getting an OK from the conference those all black uni's were paid for out of the coaches pocket and rolled out for the last game.

People were not amused.

"All black uniforms" are a sour spot around here. I'm not sure what you were doing in 2006, but around here everyone was losing their damn minds over these uniforms.

PS: I ALWAYS have something to add. This can be confirmed by my wife.

Thats fugly.

For full reference (love this story... in a masochistic way):

Read this link, SSP. Stick around long enough, and you will have a similar experience.

Yah... I read it. Ridiculous. I think some of you might misundertand me. I may have been a part of and followed a team that won a state championship last year, but I grew up in Aubrey, Texas (land of football disappointments). Hell, we even scared off the most winning HS football coach in the state. I'm from the land of never was... I know what it's like to go to a game every week and even cheer on the sidelines year after year and walk out disappointed. Yes, I know- high school, schmi-school, but I grasp the logic.

And I grew up thinking UNT FOOTball was a joke, even when I have several friends and my cousin on the team in 2002-2005. This team just really has (good) air about it. Things are changing. I'm not saying that just because of obvious reasons. They still have a lot to work out, but this isn't the same team that you're used to. The proof will eventually be in the pudding....

Really, really, really, really hope you are right.

You want to maybe... elaborate? I know these little videos are kind of your thing but do you have something to add?

Macs been pushing hard for solid black jerseys as have a lot of the players.

Our school colors are green and white. Why is it so difficult to remember that? I suppose this will just be one more example of a UNT school tradition slipping through our fingers. I may just have to become a UT fan. At least they value tradition over trendiness.

Nothing wrong with an alternate jersey now and then. The students and players will like it and be hyped, even if a bunch of 50-60+ years olds won't!

We don't have the uniform stability of UT or A&M, so have some fun. It works for TCU and the Ducks, etc. The players get excited and we need every boost we can get.

I think black would look cool on Halloween. Don't worry children, the Dickey monster can't get you any more.

I always feel more dangerous when I'm wearing black.

Maybe we should really go for it and do denim unis. Denim goes with everything. Especially green and white.

TCU are the Horned Frogs... not the Purples. We are not the Mean. We are the Green that is Mean. The Mean Green. Green.

Ahem.... I give YOU.. the "RED" Raiders....

RackMultipart.16934.0_display_image.jpg?

And our upcoming opponent.. the "BLUE" Raiders.....

See? They like it.

In all seriousness... these petty types of things are helpful in recruiting also. Save the "WE NEED TO WIN, that's what we need to concentrate on" comments. If this makes the players feel sharp.. what's the big deal???? We are all about scrapping the "tradition" of losing, but we hold so dearly onto the "tradition" of ONLY having green and white on our uniforms....? If it helps.... what gives? This is dumb.

Good point, Bla..., er, Green PI. On the other hand, Mean Joe Greene was black.(I just added that before someone else did).

I couldn't agree more. I used to be off the uniform changes. The black never made any sense to me when Dodge and crew would do the march in Black warm up jersey's, but now, I say bring on the black. Whatever these kids want uniform wise, do it. I am pretty much for tradition, but throwing out some new uniforms and tricking it up a little from time to time is fine with me.

I don't care if they play in potato sacks as long as they beat MTSU.

When did we ALL become girls on here?

Oh! Denim and burlap. That sounds so FANTASTIC!!

      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?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
