  4. Super hot sports opinion: We upset Iowa. I have us at 8-4. I am an optimist and am not half as smart as the average football analyst, but I really can't help but buy in here. Purely speaking from the eye test, I think Fine has a breakout season and we're due. I don't have a statistical method to back me up. I just feel an energy. Especially as a new student at a school previously who experienced major football success, I like to think I can tell when good things loom on the horizon. If we can stay healthy, there are not more than 4 teams on our schedule that we aren't better than. To imagine an 8 win season PLUS a bowl win is not realistic, and I get that. I'm just thinking best case here. I realistically think we go 6-6 with a bowl win. But I know this team has 8 wins in it if it wants them. UNT needs "The win" that launches it into the glory days of football success, if we're going to get there. Baylor's was TCU or Oklahoma in 2011 with RG3. Boise State's was the Fiesta Bowl. Teams that used to be bottom of the pack just needed that win to launch an ensuing era of success. Iowa is going to have a down year by their standards anyway. Again, I only say this as a fan who feels a positive energy around this team. There is nothing to keep me from being proven wrong, but I hope I am not. I really, really, REALLY want a win against SMU. Plenty more realistic than an upset in Iowa City the next week. If by the grace of god we can slow down Sutton, we can stay in that game and earn the dub. Let's get it.

  5. Just goes to show the meaninglessness of splitting hairs between a 2-star and low 3-star ratings based on recruiting sites. You can literally just ask them to raise a rating and they will. I thought I saw someone else on here so that as well. And there's nothing wrong with that. Big programs' fan bases have been doing that for years. Both on sub-sites and twitter. Also not saying Gibbs doesn't deserve the rating. But it certainly doesn't help credibility once you get past the P5 commits, and certainly past the top 250 or 300/whatever the top listing is.

  6. Offense looked a lot better today I watched 4 series of 1s and 2s. Mason Fine is the starting QB, he looked really good today ball had some zip on it and he made several very nice deep throws two of which were dropped by Smiley. Greg White is going to be really really good for a long time here. OL as a whole looked a lot better, Murray missed a few blitz pick ups just needs to get his eyes up and know where his pressures coming from so he can get help. Starters LT Murray LG Woodworth C Barr RG Mose RT Mayfield Guyton starting to look more comfortable made a nice catch and run on 3rd down conversion Pirtle and Lawrence moved well today Fine had plenty of time most of the day I believe he was sacked once and had to throw it away once bc D sniffed the screen out. In a game I'm certain he would have run it and gotten some yards. We have a new package where Chumley plays TE and Smith serves as an H back to one side then the other side is two WR Guyton and Smiley org other WR. Looked solid and caused some alignment problems for the D. Defense caused two fumbles and returned one a long way, I could see if they scored nephew needed to use restroom. Isladore did not take a snap with 1/2s while I was there Nic Smith seems to have secured 2nd string RB dude can GO! Wilson was well Wilson, made some nasty cuts in the hole and bounced a few for long runs. Defense lost the day early not much pressure and Offense drove on them but they rebounded and got more pressure and turnovers as scrimmage went on. Last but but not least Miami Dolphins scout sat next to me for a little bit my nephew got a big time kick out of that.

"-- Chair backs were being installed at Apogee Stadium today in advance of the season. It's a sure sign kickoff is just weeks away. " Hopefully they can hit at least at 90% accuracy

  12. Wow. Wasn't expecting this kind of performance out of Kemon Hall. A pleasant surprise for sure. If he's pushing Jenkins for his starting spot, then that is a VERY GOOD sign for the CB's as Jenkins is a good player.

  13. Shows why using the metric of other offers makes more sense than actual rating. Especially in the realm of G5 recruiting. Gibbs was a huge win for us, as was Kameron King.

  23. Lol. Guy posts a video of a heinous douche using a car as a weapon and killing someone. This douche happens to be a white supremacist. That doesn't make him a douche. When he decided to act in such a way to deprive other human beings of their life because of his beliefs, that's what took him to Full Douche mode. Never go Full Douche. Same exact thing can be said for James Hodgkinson, the Bernie Bro douche who decided that his political beliefs took priority over the lives of others and shot up a baseball game. F$*k that guy. And the only reasonable response to the OP's initial post would have been to say about James Fields, the driver. F&#k that guy. And F()*k anybody that puts their beliefs over the lives of others. But instead of saying that, several people fall all over each other to rise to the occasion and do the old partisan false equivalency argument that "both sides are equally bad" or "well, remember when your side did it too, "I know you are but what am I." Thus missing the entire point that there are no sides, just a%^holes who take things too far, but this has to do with them being jerks, not political scoreboarding. So, in review: James Fields, F&#k that guy. James Hodgkinson, F)^k that guy. And as far as Tasty is concerned: I can only imagine that, after observing others make light of the death of a human being in order to redirect the conversation to partisan, tribalistic political points as opposed to mourning the senseless loss of life over ideology, and deciding to satirize those very actions, thus being called out for not treating the topic with respect or making light of it, that Tasty is currently having this conversation with Harry:

  31. This is a back handed comment. I don't care what anyone says. "A steal for North Texas. Kid is flying way under the radar." When I read stuff like that, I hear, "How/Why is this kid committing to North Texas and why doesn't he have more prominent offers than North Texas."

  36. I'm under the same impression that Martin will blue-shirt. I, like many, don't particularly care about stars. Don't get me wrong, i'd love to have a lot of them, but I gravitate towards @BillySee58 system. I know there's been a lot of ire about single offer guys but our last couple: Gibbs, Kameron King, and Vada King have all been multi-offer kids B or B+ guys in Billy's system (Vada was highly recruited out of high school and at least had an Arky State offer from juco). I hope others view this as improvement so far. If we keep this up the class oculd round out pretty well. I do also think there is a difference in pre-senior year solo offers and end of season senior year solo offers. These aren't desperate offers to fill the class, they are guys the staff wants. Hopefully our coaching, evaluation and development continue to improve.

  38. I came away from the scrimmage feeling more like "meh" than anything else. Fine did tighten his grip on the QB spot, but at the risk of sounding like an apologist, Shanbour was not as far behind as some might have implied. Shanbour ran mostly with the 2nd team, and most of the drops that were mentioned in both Vito's and BG's summary were Shanbours passes. Two of them were perfect hits right in the chest of the WR's.......in tight coverage. One was knocked out by the DB, the other just bounced off the WR's chest (#85). I remember thinking that if Duhon (whom I call "Mr. Automatic") had been the receiver on both passes, they would have been completions. Fine got the best group of WR's to throw to, while it appeared that Shanbour was assigned to train the new guys. Also, if the "tag-you're-down" rule had not been in place, Shanbour would have gotten 2 TD runs......one of them would have been for about 60+ yards. IMHO all of the top three or four QB's should be given reps with the first team, and given basically the same plays to run. To me, that would create a better assessment situation. Pearson has potential, but I wouldn't say he oozes with it. Right now "Izzy" has more potential than him. But IMHO Pearson is the QB of the future.....in a year or so. He'll learn a lot playing behind Fine and Shanbour. l The RB's all looked pretty good today with Hosley (#46) fighting the hardest. Wilson looked a little quicker and a little "niftier" in some of his runs. For me that works better than his usual "whirling-dervish-battering-ram" style.......which ended up getting him hurt. I pretty much agree with all the assessments done on our WR corp.....including the new guys. The defense held their own today. And to my relief, they were toughest up the middle on running plays. The LB corp looked pretty good, with #41 in on a lot of plays. Fulp (#35) got my attention too. Lets be honest. If the offense was dominating the defense, everyone would moan. AND if the defense was doing all the dominating......everyone would moan. Our punting situation is.......worrisome. #93 got off the most consistently good punts in drills.......but still worrisome. And now to Chumley. It took two trainers to get him to the training table, and he was in so much initial pain that they had to stop once along the way. They didn't look at anything but his foot....not his ankle, and (thankfully) not his knee. When they DID do something (after they very carefully took his shoe off) they put an ice bag on the table and had him put his foot on top of it. Anyone with medical training can speculate on what that means. I really hate to see this happen. Chumley has found his place in this offense, and he needs to keep developing. Because he has the potential to turn into a very potent offensive weapon.

  40. Sad situation...sad. Neither side is "innocent" in this stuff. Seems today that many people think freedom of speech is a one way street. Goes sort of like...."I am all for freedom of speech...as long as you agree with me." Both sides in this thing are very guilty of just this sort of stinking thinking. Sad. 😰😰

  41. Punter worries me a lot. 36 seemed better than 93 but both were very inconsistent. We're gonna miss Keena Greg White is gonna do great things. Fine looked the best today. Inside zone didn't seem to be working well. A lot of swing passes. Pirtle looks good in the Y. Lots of guys in red jerseys. Bussey wasn't even suited up. Hope nothing big happened with Chumley.

  42. Johnny Quinn = one offer player Patrick Cobbs = one offer player Casey Fitzgerald = walk on Chris Hurd = walk on Brelan Chancellor = one offer I could go on, and before certain people jump to conclusions, my point is why criticize a young man before he has a chance to produce on the field? Welcome to North Texas. Make the most of your opportunity.
