ARTICLE: Why Mason Fine is the best QB you don't know

This became so bad during the McCarney regime that he had to put in McNulty to keep the fight song from being played. *I just noticed I received a down vote.I'm sorry Andrew.

12-2 Hoping to get a solid Cal fan reaction gif this year.. Throwback to last years "body bag" game:

I attempted to attend the scrimmage last Saturday but was initially turned away (later on I found a way in), so I noticed that the Band was practicing near by and decided to go watch. Well it seems that I got in on Mr. Cooks very first practice......which was really a exercise session to get band members used to the type of marching that will be expected of them I had a very nice visit, first with Mr. Cooks grad assistant, and then later during a break Mr. Cook came over to see who the hell I was. Believe it or not, we had a very nice visit. I could already tell that he was going to expect energy, school spirit, and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE from the Band. So I seriously doubt that the MF will ever surface from any of the band members. A few things.... The Band is going to have somewhere around 450 members (ugh) He plans to have a REAL pre-game including a fanfare that he has written for North Texas. We discussed a few very large Bands and how they did pregame. He mentioned several Bands from the Southeast Conference, but he said that his favorite pregame was the one Florida State does. He was a bit concerned about the gate leading into the stadium. He had concerns about it limiting the band in their pregame entrance. SO, for this to really work and be BIG TIME the crowd needs to be in there long before the pregame starts AND PARTICIPATE.

....at Texas. 😘😘😘 Rick

I really want Mason to get that CUSA Championship and crack us into the Top 25 this year. We’d be adding another one next to that Joe Greene statue outside of Apogee when it was all said and done.

Or have some class and understand there are also kids at the games. So tired of this discussion every year and why people think this is acceptable.

You heard him Mean Green Nation!

Won't somebody think of the children?!

Excellent article. So pumped for this season. That's my quarterback

HEY NOW....THIS IS A FAMILY SITE

He qualified it with the "last two seasons", after DT graduated.

I know this could change a lot between now and then....but as of right now, couldn't get much better of a weather forecast for August 31: https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/b4839bc8b5bb0588d4876f6f32d8d6887862ecf551124851cea7e92574c906f5

That could be a good game..... UIW may beat them

Mason is just a classic case of what a struggling program like ours needed. After middling around for so long and not making much progress, we finally found a guy who could command respect for his abilities, and respect as a person because of his demeanor. I talk up Mason Fine pretty much every chance I get, and I'm currently in a battle with the UT sheeple here in Austin that he's the best QB in the state. They'll never admit to that, but I'm almost 100% confident that with a healthy season, he'll prove me right. GO MEAN GREEN! P.S. If you aren't ready for this season to start, I don't know what's wrong with you, but you need to fix that.

Question, who's going to play Mason in the future biographical movie about his life?

Among the many articles about Mason, this is one of the best. This is the year to put the icing on the cake: conference championship, bowl win, Fine named All American, NT as top G5

Day 1, 1st series is an audible TD to Rico. Destiny?

I remember the first spring game Fine came out at. He took over the drive for another QB and the offense just responded as if he'd been their starter all along. Like, you just knew this QB was *the* guy for the job from how he carried himself to how he passed. When he came in for Morriss against SMU, it was the same deal. The guys saw him, snapped-to, and they worked with him to deliver.

I love articles like this... it is great to hear the stories about recruiting and whats going on in in everyones heads. GMG!

"In walks this kid who looks like a sixth grader," Harrell said. "Like, 'Oh gosh. Please tell me this isn't him.' It was like, 'Did I screw up?'" lolololol 🤣

Hey! I love sports. You probably do, too. I was wondering how you feed your football/sports fix outside the whistle. That is to say, during the week and when you’re not at a game! I love podcasts. If you have a YouTube channel or another pod that you can recommend, I would love to discover new stuff. Here are mine, in no particular order. I can’t listen to every single pod release all the time, but you get a good scope of things with this list.

2 ACL surgeries have caused my knee to hurt when cold fronts come in. I’ll let you know how I am feeling in a few weeks.

Our past has nothing to do with this current coaching staff and the talent on this team.

I've gone from thinking we'd be pretty good this year to panicking about all the hype and worrying that it will turn south to buying in and confident we are going to have a great season. Just get here already!

Lol @ UTSA and an FCS program

"Fine -- coming off back-to-back C-USA Offensive POY honors and tabbed by coaches in the preseason to make it three years in a row -- brushes off the campaign as a necessary evil. He agreed to it only after the school convinced him it would be good for his teammates and the program." I am going to miss this man after he leaves.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer football program.

We may not see another like him for a long time at NT. That should be another big reason for people to attend the games, support him and watch a magician at work.

Or get over it. Different strokes for different folks.

Yes. Flying into PIB Saturday on the AA flight. I found out there isn't a single rental car agency at the airport. It appears there may be a single Uber floating around the area for us to catch. Not sure if there's taxis or a shuttle to town. Probably should have flown into Gulfport or New Orleans, but we were trying to minimize the driving. The lady is being extra patient in my quest to see every game this year, home and away (no Killarney's for me!). Hoping to drop the bags at Hampton Inn quickly and head to the stadium. Looking forward to the game!

Coach is a class act, praying for his family, they were our conference mates for years. AState HC Wife passes after battle with cancer

Terrible. Worst nightmare.

Is it too soon to start talking about scores and predictions? https://www.oddsshark.com/ncaaf/abilene-christian-north-texas-odds-august-31-2019-1114157

Well, last year we pounded Southern Meth and Southern Meth pounded Houston. I love history. 6 for Heisman GO MEAN GREEN

Sometimes custody battles can get real messy. I’m glad you guys were able to settle this out of court in a gentlemanly fashion.

Might be interesting if we beat both SMU and Houston, and the SMU game is closer.

Call off the dogs!! I would be delighted if we went above 7-5! But after almost 50 years of following North Texas football, I learned long ago to temper any expectations. I was also at the ODU game.

I will also be praying for the Anderson family. So sad to hear.

A husband & 3 kids just lost their rock. It's going to be very tough for Coach Anderson to adjust to coach life with 3 kids on his own. I would not be surprised to see him step down after this season. We all know coaching requires a ton of hours each week. He's not going to be able to keep that up and raise those boys flying solo at the same time. The Anderson family will be in my prayers for sure.

Nevermind that other coaches are paying attention as well, and can see that NT is paying their coaches well & extending them constantly. So in the event we do lose one or both of them, there will be plenty of quality coaches knocking on the door for an interview because they know NT will pay them!

He was only at Arkansas State for one year. I agree it’s premature. So was Littrell’s first raise. I think Baker and his crew believe in their coaches and are willing to pay them for what they are going to do more than what they’ve done. Our administration is doing everything and committing as much as possible in nearly every facet to make our major programs successful. Including keeping our coaches happy and making it clear that we’re about keeping them, doing what we can to help their programs, and keep them focused on what they can build here long term, rather than keeping an exit strategy in mind. Whether or not it pays off is another question. But that’s just my explanation of the rationale.
