Very nice! They really, really need to get rid of the left to right navigation that they've had for a while.

They went to a norma orientation for a while about four months in from launching, then reverted back saying naw, this is our thing.

As much as the guy who leads Central Track gives me the slimiest of feelings with his awful bro-sy writing, I will certainly take this publicity.

I know some of the guys there and get what you are saying about the bro thing. However, the publicity is great! So good to get love wherever we can.

What is Central Track? Not trying to be rude or anything, I genuinely don't know what it is or why it has a reputation here.

It's a culture site covering Dallas founded by a former Music Editor for the Dallas Observer. It has some good points, some bad, but they generally steer towards giving backhanded compliments to most things Denton except UNT Athletics.

They stole the name and rational behind it from Central Trak, a popular art gallery/exhibit space from UT-Dallas, even going as far as sniping out their website names and gearing any SEO towards them. Pretty lame.

Oh, and then there's the horizontal layout.

All they did was bitch about 35 Denton last year. Was frustrating.

Meh. Central Track. They're all that's wrong with Dallas. Including the layout.

Corby-like hyperbole from a supporter of all things Houston... (because they've got it figured out for sure)

I'd say there are quite a few issues ahead of the somewhat spare and probably largely unknown, by the masses, website being discussed.

Oh, my bad, that totally earns them the title of "all that's wrong with Dallas". Carry on Dillon

It's like a mobile site.. except for - it isn't. mobile.

That side-swipe would be cool on a mobile device. But it's a lot like the Windows 8 tile interface in that it ONLY really makes sense with a touch panel. Plus, depending on your window size and browser, it might not render up properly and it'll put articles under the bars.

I kinda like the idea, but it doesn't translate to user-friendly.

You're the only person I've ever met who defends central track. Ever.

Actually,the Central Track UNT Homecoming pics were posted on that "other" message board and even on that "other" new (not that new) message board by the Lone Ranger (a dad joke of sorts).

http://mbd.scout.com...px?s=353&f=1260

Scout Forums ='s HS recruits who read their Scout bios and then read NCAA FBS schools Scout message boards such as...Inside North Texas?

Harry, myself and a couple others were trying to keep the Scout board updated since many HS recruits-to-be read it and "Inside North Texas" had been dormant for so long. I didn't think that bode well for our school for readers to go on that Scout board and see a MG ghost town (so to speak).

Even after posting a few "up-to-date" MG news the last week or so it became obvious that many Scout readers, ie, probably non-UNT affiliated (and possibly a few potential HS recruits as well?) seem to be checking out the "Inside North Texas" message board just looking at the views box. Myself and couple others (and anyone else who wants to contribute) are merely wanting to make sure that Scout readers were getting updated "positive" information about the Mean Green. Nothing more-nothing less.

This posted on Inside North Texas about GoMeanGreen.com and the "other" board:

Not sure why more U of North Texas Mean Greeners don't read (maybe even post from time to time) here other than the fact that Harry M. has a very successful (and long running) private run board and Scottie F. has another one in play, too.

GMG!

      Big dumb question.

      Contracts could be for one+ year(s). Employee status would bring tax questions into play. FICA and income taxes would be due .

      Do we still only play 7-8? 😝 This is what I have. This was tough. We’ve had some pretty great players. Lorient is more potential that straight up production. Starters: Javion Hamlet Rubin Jones Aaron Scott Thomas Bell Zach Simmons Reserves: Ryan Woolridge Tylor Perry James Reese Brennon Lorient Abou Ousmane Too good to leave off: Deng Geu Kai Huntsberry Moulaye Sissoko Jason Edwards

      Big dumb question.

      Why put players under contract when in the current form, you can just dispose of those who aren't performing every season? Scholarships are currently renewed on a yearly basis. Putting players under contract would mean you'd be looking at deals worth 2+ years. What happens when a guy just isn't working out but you're on the hook for another year so the scholarship can't be used for somebody else? I know you could say with "NIL," you could just give enough to cover tuition and some extra but I doubt the boosters would want to pay that much for an unknown player just because a scholarship is used up on another bad player. Reality is, coaches hate when players leave after a great season but those same coaches are quick to push guys into the portal if they're not working out. I'd be all for contracts at our level, though. Contracts mean you can include buyouts so if you really hit on a prospect, I'd love for UNT and our NIL to get some money back for developing a good player.

      If you were given ten picks to build a roster (so, a starting five and five off the bench) made up exclusively of players from the McCasland/Hodge era…who ya got?
