You may think that I should be worried that I'm behind... I'm not. Anyways, after getting a much needed week-off I'm here for another preview. They hail from the Sun Belt and were terrible last year. They are the North Texas Mean Green.
North TexasLast Season (2-5) 3-9 2nd to last in the Sun Belt
Offense: Todd Dodge has gotten himself in a pickle. The 1st year coach has to be worried about his QB play throughout the year because if it was anything like last year, ugh, it won't be pretty. Jamario Thomas is the superstar of the team, being the main back for most of the 3 years he has already been here. Last year he had about 700 yds and should get more this year becasuse the offensive line is improved. Look for him to be their leader in most of the stats.
Defense: After switching to the 3-4 for one year, the Mean Green have decided to go back to the 4-3. The team was unable to get very many takeaways, with the leader at interceptions was many with 1. The defensive line will be led by DE Jeremiah Chapman, who had 4.5 sacks last year to lead the team. The LB core is their strength, with Maurice Holman as the top leader. Look for the defense to improve.
Schedule- Sept. 1 at Oklahoma Sept. 8 at SMU Sept. 22 Florida Atlantic Sept. 29 at Arkansas Oct. 6 at UL Lafayette Oct. 13 UL Monroe Oct. 20 at Troy Oct. 27 Middle Tenn. Nov. 10 Navy Nov. 15 at Arkansas St. Nov. 24 West. Kentucky Dec. 1 at FIU

Prediction: This team is possible to get 3-4 wins, over FAU, ULM, WK, and maybe FIU
The Mean Green used to dominate the Sun Belt conference. Whenever I think of this team it always reminds me of the movie "Necessary Roughness" for some reason.
I am pissed at the Mean Green...I had them picked early last season to take the sun belt in a college football pool and they tanked it. So this year, I'm taking the Ragin Cajuns, or maybe Arkansas St. Watch the mean green come thru.....I don't even like the Sun Belt, but hey, they play a lot on Thursdays so it's another football game I get to watch.
Lisa I am sooooooooo proud to see that you may take the cajuns. Coach Bustle is a friend of mine that I have known for a very long time and is really a class act and I hope this year that can get over the hump.
The Mean Green have a very good coach that I beleive will do well if given some time to recruit and restablize the program. Last year was not good for the team, the coach nor the program but I beleive they picked a good coach.
Oh let's see here... I was an all around athlete in my younger days. I have been to many Tigers and Lions games, will try to make to at least 1 Red Wing game in my lifetime. I like smelling my own farts for enjoyment and like listening to R&B and rap. I think Rasheed is retarted and McGrady is the best in the league when he's healty. I think the Tigers will make the World Series this year and every year in the future. One more thing... testicles... that is all.
