The QB battle will be a good one... I still think Vizza gets the job, but I'm glad everyone gets a fair shot. (that would not be the case if Flanny was still here) I'm more concerned about a true freshman walking onto that field in Norman? He ges to attempt field goals on one of the most hostile playing fields, in front of 93,000 of the most rabid fans in college football? Talk about pressure? IF the kid who kicked in the Oil Bowl gets the job, at least he has some real talent. There is no real way to prepare a kid for a crowd like OU, so he will have to be tough. I dont know why Winward left, but he sure didnt do Todd Dodge any favors? Oh well, things happen...

Here's to another Mean Green opening day game! Lets please have good weather for a change in Norman?, then let's have a beer or two for whoever ends up kicking their first Division-I college game in front of THAT crowd.

GMG!!! ;)

I am glad WW is taking care of his academics unlike many players over the last few years. hopefully he remains strong and gets a shot to play somewhere whether or not it is QB. Sounds like he probably has the ok from TD to gets his studies in order, rather than just skipping practice like some poster(s) have speculated.

Looking forward to this year.

Maybe we have a kid who doesn't think twice about it.

...or two ...or three

We would be in a better position if we had a veteran PK and these guys were challenging for the starting job.

Freshman or not, with the new team attitude they will have the full support of the coaches and the team when they step out on the field in Norman. What more can they ask for!

Some of you are practically panicking about a freshman kicker taking the field in Norman. Smith threw his first pass in Austin and didn't flinch.

Some people are bothered. Maybe we have a kid who doesn't think twice about it.

1987, Norman Oklahoma. True freshman Scott Davis stepped in when Bron Beal broke his ankle during the game. Then lead the Mean Green on to the first touchdown scored in Norman in...(can't remember) so many qaurters over a span of a season or two? Memory is getting fluffy on the specs, but a legend was born in my oppinion.

Oh, and...

Wilson, in summer school through Friday, hasn't practiced.

Imagine that?

I loved the big stadium away crowds when I played. This might sound strange, but as you know back when I played (97,98, and 99) we didn't have many fans coming to our home games. I used the other teams home crowd to energize me. My first game on defense ever (well I played linebacker in 4th grade) was in Norman. I loved it! I know he's a freshman, but i'm a coach and I believe in kids.

"UNT officials say the No. 12 worn by former quarterback Andrew Smith, who died in a car accident before the 2004 season, was inactive but never retired. Freshman receiver Sam Roberson will wear the number at his request."

I wonder why he requested it? Was he Andrew's friend? Was it out of respect for Andrew? Was it his high school number?

      Fauci Under Fire

      This from a CNN contributor posted in “X”. Elie Honig wrote this for “The Intelligencer” KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat CNN Senior Legal Analyst Describes How The Trump Conviction Was A Political Hit Job 1. "The judge donated money... in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation." 2. Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, “It is a fact that I have sued Trump over 100 times.” 3. "Most importantly, the DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process." 4. "The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever." 5. The DA inflated misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and "electroshocked them back to life" by alleging the falsification of business records was committed 'with intent to commit another crime.' 6. "Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial." 7. "In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else." 8. "The Manhattan DA’s employees reportedly have called this the “Zombie Case” because of various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism. But it’s better characterized as the Frankenstein Case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts into an ugly, awkward, but more-or-less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator."

      Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.

      It isn’t doomsdayers though. Look around GMG alone. It’s just normal, committed fans that are being beaten into submission to the point of total apathy over all this. It’s horrible for the sport at large - and the Top Tier P4 programs won’t realize they’ve completely destroyed the sport and college athletics in general until it’s too late. Pure hubris. To your farm system idea. Just no.

      NLI at ETSU is being funded by the Clampett family fortune (acquired from bubbling crude). There is a lot of cash flowing in from an account at the Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills. The team doctor is old school and she has a tonic that enhances their performance. I wouldn't count them out if I were you.

      On a scale of 1 to 10...

      6 - but is almost exclusively because North Texas games (really tailgates) are where I see a lot of my friends that I don’t see otherwise…and because I’ve already bought tickets

      On a scale of 1 to 10...

      I am at a 10 for supporting my University and at a 2 for player support. So I would say overall a 6.
