Todd Whitten Before he was hired three times to coach Tarleton State, Whitten led the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks to a 42-12 drubbing of the Alcorn State Braves on Sept. 28, 1985. He ran for one touchdown and threw for two more, one to future NFL wide receiver Floyd Dixon. After the game I stopped walking back to the dorms and got to first base on a hill near the stadium. She and I never spoke of it again. In hindsight I shouldn't have eaten Corn Nuts at the game.

In the back of my mind whenever I see these types of conference moves, I wonder if the conference is preparing for/expecting one or more current members to leave.

I'd hate to be responsible for changing the light bulbs! Back on topic, I thought Kansas to the B1G was the talk of the town a couple years ago.

Army? Here’s a reason from this latest article: “North Texas had a host of issues to address following a 5-7 season in Eric Morris' debut campaign as the Mean Green's coach. Improving against the run was among the biggest. UNT ranked last nationally in rushing defense with an average of 255.2 yards allowed per game and gave up more rushing touchdowns than any other team in the country at 37.” https://dentonrc.com/rush-to-defense/article_d2743e45-5063-5360-a8e7-cca7a8dbdd9a.html?utm_source=dentonrc.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletters%2Flists%2Fmean-green%2F%3F-dc%3D1715792412&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline Seems like stopping Army would be a challenge for the worst rushing defense in the country

No school is going to willingly leave the SEC. I think the far more likely scenario is schools like Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern will be "kicked down" to the ACC while FSU/Clemson go to the Big 10/SEC at some point in the 2030's.

As much as it is discussed for the G5 conferences, it isn't very smart for the FCS conferences not to realign into regional groupings to try to reduce costs.

Is there a limit to the number of rostered players or just a limit on the number of scholarship players. I'm not sure how the scholarship thing/limit really works in the age of NIL. At scholarship limit? Get a big enough NIL deal to cover the cost of attendance (tuition, R&B, books, fees, etc.) and then some. Maybe not something UNT is in the position to do, but what's keeping Deep Pockets U from having more "scholarship" players on the roster than the limit allows?

Easily a tax write off as marketing expense.

All the turmoil in the G5 world..we ain't the only one whose schedule is unpredictable. At least we brought in a bunch of P4 bench warmers (16 I saw?) as replacements. USA will be a good insight for this teams future games.......Morris needs at minimum 6 wins so I'll go with six.

There is not a moment in my time with UNT that got more national publicity than the Arkansas football game. I was fortunate to have been at the game.

I'm also counting week Zero as a win. 5-2 heading into the FAU match-up.

Looked at JJ's Eastfield stats for comparison and he averaged 18.9 ppg in 32 games, hit 20 points or more in 15 games, and scored a game-high of 45 against (Dallas) Richland College. Nothing against this guy as I've never seen him play but I hope this is a PWO. Would be great for him to come in and earn a scholarship like JJ did.

I agree with you. I would not vote an increase in student fee if I were a current student. I understand that student fees and institutional support are in theory necessary to break even. Doesn't change that it's hard to look at the system seriously when you look at coaching salaries, even at smaller programs. All in all, the biggest programs and networks are to blame. They'll ruin college athletics for good if they don't figure out a solution that benefits all parties at all levels. More important than our fandom is the athletic scholarships of thousands of male and female athletes outside the top 1% are at risk of being lost if schools eventually choose to drop football.

Make Magazines Great Again

There is a substantial value now, but what when we are relegated back to the equivalent of FCS or I-AA? Will that value still be worth it? Perhaps in basketball but not sure if football makes sense. Just thinking out loud here.

Playing time is huge (or NIL with some), but factors have to be different with each player. Which player was encouraged to stay, which to go, which influenced by family members or friends; did academics or location play a part? Every situation is probably different. At what point as a coach to you tell a marginal player to stay or look elsewhere? Roster makeup is important and also factors in these decisions. If you're 7th on the guard depth chart probably not a good situation.

Music would probably be second most. Lots of artists, but how often does their NT background get mentioned? I'm betting more sports stories/scores than music articles.

Paperwork???

Ironic turn of subject matter considering SI made my pants go crazy once a year as a young fella🤣🤣🤣

JJ went to Eastfield. This dude goes to Northlake. They are in the same conference. Very low level basketball. D3 Juco.

bet accepted. "music"

California is the future 🤣

Not being transphobic = decades of scientific literature. Being transphobic = fake cowboy memes and pictures of masculine east german athletes. Some of the best advice my grandparents ever gave me was to never stop learning after school was over with, and you guys are proof of how hateful and close-minded one can get when you don't follow that advice.
