  1. I'm long winded, so bear with me. We all want the same thing...To see this program climb the ladder...Wins, Big Crowds, Bowl Games (and Bowl Game wins...) Conference Championships, Recruiting, Facilities, and the like...And we do tend to get spoiled that all of it doesnt happen at once...So instead of one giant ladder, it's a series of different ladders, that all of them get climbed at different rates. But overall, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the crowd Saturday. Was it a sellout? Not even close...Have we had larger crowds? Most certainly... But my point is this...Anyone who has been around this program, for 20-30 years, can attest to the fact, that you put this game in a time machine to the past, where if we came into a game, Homecoming even, at 3-5, with as many recent losses as we've had, there's no way there wouldve been that many people, (including students!) I was seriously expecting to see a dismal crowd. And to be fair, it didnt hurt that it was beautiful weather, but still.... To me, that's a good "Ladder Rung" we just climbed... Program/year isnt exactly where it could be, but it's still noticable that people are behind this thing. Well done Wren and Company..

  2. He finished with a 39 yard punt average, two of which were soccer style...(for reasons I’ll never understand why). Still he placed two of his three punts inside the 20. And UTEP finished with 1 yard in punt return yards. Statistically it was a good day for The Diesel. Rick

  4. This young man is just awesome to watch. His two TD catches were brilliant and he made them look so easy The move he put on the defender for his first TD was beautiful. That poor DB is still looking for his jock strap. The second one was such a difficult catch to make and he made it look routine. He has really stepped up in Bussey’s absence.

  5. Looks like reppin my UNT gear around Wylie is paying off! - Seriously though, a huge addition for this team.

  6. The defense shouldn’t stop you from going. It’s not like they stop anyone else. (I couldn’t help myself.) Seriously, you should go. If they happen to pull out a W, you’ll regret not being there.

  7. Flying Burger & Seafood, Beauvines steakhouse, Bristers & Log Cabin bbq are decent but nothing spectacular. *There is Free shuttle that runs continuously throughout the game day from Railroad Park (Downtown RSN) to the stadium. Also numerous paid lots close to stadium, there’s a couple on left side on Alabama St across from stadium. Hope that helps.

  11. Really nice offer list. This is a perfect example of the type of players we should go after.

  12. I agree about Adaway and the offense. My concerns about the D are tempered. Yes, we lose Hamilton, Robinson, Muhammad and Harvey from our starting eleven. Honestly, and no disrespect to any of them, but I think we are stacked at the DB position with Gaddie, D Morris, A Morris, Gibbs, Crosby, Murray, Johnson and Sanders at DB. We return the Davises at LB along with Woods, Nixon, Ozougwu, the Murphy twins, Hunt, Jacobson, etc... at LB. We return LeBlanc, Colvin, Novil, Frow, Walker, and Dotson. We need a couple of playmakers to either step up or show up from the JUCO/transfer ranks along the DL and I think we will be stronger at other places next year as opposed to this year because of experience and athletic ability. For instance, if Jevon Murray steps up and plays like he did in HS, he will be a stud at S along with A Morris. The scheme is my concern.

  13. Hey guys..please make the trip to the RSN. A couple years ago we hung out with some classy UNT fans at our tailgate. Yeah Ruston is small college town but has some decent food: Besides Dawghouse, I highly recommend Utility Brewing downtown. Excellent beer & wood fired pizzas, actually very Fam friendly. Also Downtown, Ponchatoulas Cajun & SundownTavern. Safe travels & we look forward to an awesome game.

  17. I rather NT beat SMU than any regular season game unless there is a conference championship involved. However, at this point: I don't understand why any NT fan should be concerned with SMU. There is still plenty to play for, and even if there was not. Support your team, particularly the seniors including Fine; who deserve going out in the best way possible. I relish seeing NT's last 3 and hopefully 4 games.

  23. Adaway doesn't look legit. He is legit. He's a bruiser that runs hard and is not afraid of contact. He split carries with another good RB in Little Rock so his HS numbers never really popped off the page, but he was a man among boys when he was running the ball in HS. He was just more physically developed than the people around him and he didn't play small time HS football.

  24. Saturday was one of the best tailgating turn-outs I've ever seen. I was very pleasantly surprised by both the tailgating and the game attendance. I agree with Adler that we have one of the best followings in G5. Kudos to all involved in coordinating HC activities. Great atmosphere, great weather, great bonfire, great game, cold beer.

  25. Just saying that La Tech's record is deceptive Their best victory is over USM in Ruston. They had to go to ot to beat Rice and their win over UTEP was similar to NT's. I am basing my prediction on NT playing much better and La Tech being overconfident and Fine finding a way to win.

  26. Actually lining up under center and employing a fullback is our solution to fourth and one problems

  27. This might be a sign that the team is going to play loose for the rest of the year and finish strong. Props to Mason, keep it going!

  29. Thankfully, my son and I were able to make our first game this year and had a blast. We will be back for the game after Thanksgiving. I would be hard pressed to miss senior day this year.

  31. Hell Yes!!! I was looking at our offers that were still out last week and wishing we could secure Mitchell, Sumbo, Rausaw and Unokwuru. Need Siggers and our players from the Duncanville area to get into Mitchell's head.

  37. Well, when we get blown out during yet another bowl game, maybe they finally see the big issue here on defense? Can't ignore how poorly that unit has done every bowl, conference champ, big games, and just about the entirety of this year.

  40. Darden’s season TD production has him tied for the third-most touchdown receptions in a single season by a North Texas player. 3 away from setting a single-season record. Also now 6th in school history for career TD receptions.

  41. Western Michigan started 13-0 in 2016 off of primarily players who signed their out of high school. Pretty sure UCF’s recent run was similarly put together. Also, last time I checked I think about 13 to 14 of SMU’s starters this year signed there out of high school. It really isn’t that complicated. You get 25 scholarships every recruiting class. Sign about 17-22 high school kids a year, then use the rest on JUCO and D1 transfers depending on your team needs. A big reason we don’t have a great senior class this season is because we signed so many jucos and D1 transfers early on in he Littrell era. Signing guys like Alec Morris, Bryce English, Darius Turner, and Dee Baulkman in 2016 helped bolster our initial 2-deep, but in retrospect we sure could’ve used those spots at this point on solid high school o-linemen, d-linemen, secondary players, etc.

  43. 1) La Tech wasn’t supposed to beat us in Denton last year. No reason we can’t return the favor. 2) If we win this game we are squarely back in the hunt for the CUSA West. La Tech still has @ Marshall and @ UAB. Southern Miss still has UAB, WKU and @ FAU. 3) It’s a very, very easy there and back trip. If you must make it an overnight trip, Shreveport is right there. There’s no excuse for us not to have 1,000 people there.
