Good looking group of almost all of the 2020 commits on campus yesterday.

#11 is Williams. Roberts is #87. Renfro is #1. He is right behind Coach Littrell. Roberts is to right of Renfro. Burke wasn’t there due to a track meet. This is a pic of boys hanging out at the top of #NewDenton

"You got that sh*t right..."  NSFW

Fine #37 and only G5 player on the list. https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-football-2019-season-Tua-Tagovailoa-Trevor-Lawrence-Jonathan-Taylor-133963699/

2-2 has to be a minimum. A 1-3 start would be disastrous. I think 3-1 is very doable and 4-0 is not out of the realm of possibilities.

This should help... North Texas hosts 2020 class, rundown of visitors https://247sports.com/college/north-texas/Article/North-Texas-Mean-Green-football-rundown-of-visiting-commits-from-2020-class-133966451/

My educated guess of the four that are missing are TE Jake Roberts, C Dane Jackson, RB Isaiah Johnson, and CB Tavorice Weaver. The ones that I believe that I can identify are OL Jett Duncan (64), DL Ta'Shoyn Johnson (96), OL Kade Bond (70), DB Jordan Nichols (7), DL Jamal Ligon (88), DB Jason Kerl (24), WR Loronzo Thompson (3), TE Christian Lee (6), LB Jacobi Johnson (15) and DB Garnett Burke (11). The numbers of the two on the back row are not visible but I believe that they are QB Cade Renfro and OL Erik Williams. Renfro is 6'4" and Williams is 6'5"; two of our tallest committments.

Getting a new OC should prove itself to be a game changer. We needed it.

Odus Mitchell was national coach of the year in 1966, had seven consecutive winning seasons, and won ten conference championships. I think it is fair to say he belongs.

How do you beat Fine. Pressure up the middle and contain on the edges. How do you beat that D? Tight ends on quick in and outs and a hurry up! This will be a great year for Fine and UNT.

I feel good about the offensive line this year. Manase Mose was all-conference and he, along with his brother Sosaia and D'Andre Plantin were given all-conference mention by Phil Steele. Woodworth has been reliable for his career regardless of position. We'll also use tight ends more so that Fine will have better protection. In the Utah State game don't forget that Fine was without our top receiver as well. Utah State was also highly underrated.

Fine was pulled out of the USU game in the 1st quarter when the score was 7-7.

And just like that he’s a .9624 4 star..... 😂

Awesome to see

All I see is predicted betting lines, do they do a win/loss prediction somewhere that I am not seeing?

That’s EXACTLY how SMU feels about us and EXACTLY how TCU feels about them... #TXCFBhierarchy

Like it or not, the fact that we dismiss UTSA as a rival is actually part of the rivalry.

Presumably after Lane realized two decade veteran of CUSA football Brent Stockstill was out of eligibility, he allowed him to stay on as a staff member for FAU. https://www.murfreesboropost.com/sports/brent-stockstill-joins-kiffin-s-coaching-staff-at-fau/article_72581da4-af38-11e9-bffd-e7f5d9efdfe3.html "The Blue Raiders defeated FAU with Brent Stockstill under center the last two seasons and he will be on the other side of the field across from his father, MTSU coach Rick Stockstill, when the Blue Raiders play at FAU in a Conference USA game on Oct. 12 in Boca Raton."

UAB no longer has a team full of grown men playing against boys. They will regress significantly this season. UTSA is a dumpster fire and even they doubt they will win much this season. Other than that, I count the other games as toss ups and don't really know what to expect from MTSU this year

It was a joke..sorry for the confusion. The music is really from Super Mario Bros. I was (and mistakenly thought you were) being facetious. No insult was intended.

Telegraph Avenue is the main strip but there are many options right near campus. If you want more upscale, there are restaurants and bars on the Northside of campus in an area called the “Gourmet Ghetto”. Berkeley has world class dining and no shortage of places with endless variety. The two must go places for me are Chez Panisse, the birthplace of the American farm to table movement and one of the most influential restaurants in the US (make a reservation way in advance. I prefer the more casual and a la carte upstairs cafe to the more formal, set menu downstairs restaurant) and Top Dog. Simply, some of the best hot dogs and sausages you’ll ever have. Top Dog is where every student for 50 years has eaten and is iconic. I dream of the place. New York hot dogs leave me hugely unsatisfied.

NT put DD in the HOF. Standards are definitely not high, when a coach with a soso record and a propensity to criticize his own school is honored. At this point, Littrell has not won a conference championship or bowl game. If he can add those two accolades to his resume, than he is a shoo-in.

I’m really excited for this hire. I liked Graham but felt like the offense was lacking in creativity, the running game, and making adjustments. I think that Reeder will bring in a new scheme that will pile up the points

Same can be said for a rivalry with SMU

I love our “fans” First it’s, “We aren’t winning” Then it’s “Yeah, we’re winning but the other teams are horrible and we can’t string winning seasons together” Then it’s “We’re winning, and have consecutive seasons of 9 victories, but we ALMOST lost games!”

Pay no attention to this clown. He thinks we are going to lose to UTSA

Utah State? He was just referring to studying tape on Fine to limit him. Fine hardly played vs USU so there's not really tape to study there. Another anti-UNT "fan" here I see. Just like we'll go 1-3 in OOC, huh? Based off of nothing other than pessimism.

I think in some regard it's a good thing we got a new OC for this reason. The new stuff that Reeder is introducing will hopefully be different enough to confuse our opponents after their film study.

I will. Send me your name and address. And looking at your avatar, your name might be Dr Seuss 6 for Heisman GO MEAN GREEN .

Fair analysis. We could win all 4, but 2-2 is a minimum.

Seth needs to “accomplish the mission” first.

specifically, a Patrick Cobbs jersey

I don’t get the push for a LaTech rivalry. I think there should be some hatred involved and I just don’t hate the Ruston Cowdogs, I despise SMUg and nUTSAck each for different reasons. Maybe I’m the only one?

Chase their cheerleaders off the field with swords. Oh wait, the Aggies did that.

No need to call me a dummy because I didn't know the music. I am sure there are a lot of things you don't know. I just wanted to know where the music came from because it sounded similar to the music from the video game Galaga. I could get nasty back, but I won't.

It's because they've been fans of the football program at LATech for more than 8 years, and understand football fandom etiquette, unlike a certain school in San Antonio.

First of all, North Texas needs a rivalry. That's how you maintain some semblance of interest in the Football season from year to year. I used to say that I don't really care who our rivalry is with, just as long as we have one, but that's not true.......anymore. If we can continue to develop a rivalry with La Tech, that would be great! It's a manageable day drive down there. It's a very pleasant drive. And the La Tech fans are great! After our last home game there, FFR and I went to the La Tech fans favorite Bar in downtown Ruston, and were treated like real guests.

You may not realize that Ramsey only played in 29 games in his career. Fine has already played in 40. However, Fine is a much superior QB to Ramsey. Ramsey was a high risk thrower with a comparative low completion percentage and record number of interceptions. His teams were 22-6-1 versus Fine at this point 23-17.

You don't have to side with either one. DD and RV were both trainwrecks that should have been terminated much earlier. DD had a great run in the new Belt, again based on one fantastic recruiting class. NT had a lot of advantages versus the other early Belt members, many of which were relatively new to D1 football. However, I have always given credit to DD for that winning streak that was amazing no matter what league. My issue with DD and it should have been everybody's, is that he killed his own program by his statements and lazy recruiting. The real problem for NT is that they had an Administration and BOR that failed to correct what should have been very obvious issues. NT hired an AD with limited experience, and keep giving him new contracts for some unknown reason. Did not RV serve under 4 different presidents? DD should have been shown the door, the first time he openly criticised his employer.

True. Mississippi State was ranked 16 at the time and we lost the game by only two points 17-15. The only other game we lost that year was to 20th ranked Florida State. The other point to make is that there were 11 games in those days rather than the 12 played today.

It is technically correct that the ten game winning season included a forfeit. However, this was a very close game and certainly could have been swayed by the use of one or more ineligible players. It is not like Miss State steamrolled NT and the only way NT could have won is by forfeit. This was a SEC team, NT played away that was as dirty as they come. As I remember they put Walter Chapman out of two of the games using crack back blocks.

nutsak wouldn't know a rival if it bit them in the ass.

Vito is an idiot. This entire quote is wrong. First, UTSA isn't a rival. UTSA doesn't get the fans riled up. The UTSA game isn't circled on the calendar when the schedule comes out. Many, including Vito, have tried to verbally strong arm the rest of us into calling it a rivalry when most fans just do not care. Rivalries are created over time which our history with UTSA doesn't have. Let me repeat ... UTSA IS NOT A RIVAL. It could develop into one but it isn't at this time. If you believe UTSA is our rival then understand that you are significantly in the minority.

His record out of conference was awful because those were the games that were scheduled to finance the program during his time here. Thankfully, Coach Littrell only has 1 of those per year (balanced out by a paid win VS FCS). Coach Dickey had 3 or 4 per year.

What was SL conference wins before NT...he didn't have any as a HC. And I suppose beating Cinni was just a accident. I was never excited about MVC either... and they occasionally had good teams. You deal with what conference your in and go. I mean I'm not real crazy about CUSA...Look where our division was ranked after last year. Bottom Line...who had a better record than 4 conference title's and a BOWL win! Not defending DD but after years of being beaten down DD got us up and excited.

That's a great take. Frankly I couldn't agree more.

Over or Under: The percentage of those red shirts that have an "OU" logo on them....let's say 70%
