This guy is going to be special. He’s already reminding me of Kemon Hall a little bit. Undersized, but refuses to lose. So glad he’s in Green!

Can we suit him up this Saturday?

I can see it now... "Damnit son, how did you not know that a kickoff is a live ball and you can't let Southern Miss recover it?" "Well coach, I was thinking about whether we should wear the SOW or interlocking NT on our helmets next week...you know that stuff keeps us 18 year olds up at night" Or... "Aune! You fumbled TWICE! You know that ball security is the #1 thing our quarterback has to value. What's going on in your head?!" "Geez coach, cut me some slack. My pants weren't down past my knees and I can't grip a football under these circumstances"

I'll go ahead and say it-- too much time spent on uniforms, not enough on trying to actually win a damn game. Pick a uniform and stick with it. I'm not even that old, but damn...get off my lawn with this stuff.

Thanks. It was a great day. My first NTSU football game and my first date with the young lady who would become my wife. GMG

He just committed to us.

One of many exciting young talented players on this roster. Kudos to Stout for his commitment to getting better every day!

There was a tweet running around that we were only doing throwbacks this year. Glad that got pushed aside. Its nice to have options and these look good at night.

It's the WR from Lawton, Oklahoma Nasir Kemper. His tweet says he is a LB but he is a WR in his hudl video.

I could only wonder. The Little Rock RB Smith?

Seth is a offensive guru (supposedly). Unfortunately defense wins championships.

I think we need all the help we can get on the defensive side.

The TV angle is very hard for us, because conferences have been setup in the last 10 years by the markets they serve. The days of Rice and UH or TCU and SMU being in the same conference are over. The P5 TV money is just gigantic, but the AAC has carved out a nice little niche from the TV money, as well, even if its much smaller than the P5s. But the rest of us are really just getting crumbs. For us, the same problem we always have had continues to be that SMU remains above us in the CFB world. They get so much more money from TV and their alums than we ever will. I am much in favor of the MWC for our program, as I watched what it did for TCU, and I know that we would get more funds from TV out west to help with travel and to play teams people actually care about or have heard of in the MWC. But the MWC hasn't shown even one iota of interest in us and even if they did, our alumni have OVERWHELMINGLY shown they want nothing to do with the MWC because of the old Big West conference from 20+ years ago not allowing us to have our games covered by Sunday newspapers. So, our future remains in the SBCUSA, where we have shown we can compete some, especially in the early days of the Belt, but its also proven to be really, really tough for us on the field, too, obviously.

Seems like we have had better luck on the field when wearing black uniforms despite some folks distaste for them. Some of our best moments were in black. As long as the Lane Train isn’t on the other sideline, we should be fine. Edit: Black practice jerseys worn prior to 2007 do not count.

the way our players are going down, they need to wear bubble wrap.

LB it is. https://247sports.com/Article/Nasir-Kemper-commits-to-UNT-as-LB-in-2021-class-152638490/

Gift is Covid. They didn't tell anyone because they wanted it to be a surprise. Did you go to any of the games and feel sick afterwards?

We all watched the same game, we all saw the good and the bad moments, of which there were plenty of each. I dug a little deeper into the statistics of this performance to try and get some reference. Aune’s passing stat line: 28/47 for 339 yards, 2 TDs/0 INTs For Mean Green QBs this was the second most passing yards ever in a starting debut, behind Vizza’s 383 against Louisiana Lafayette in 2007. Aune averaged 7.2 yards/attempt in this game. Last season Mason Fine averaged 7.2 yards/attempt against FBS competition for the season. Aune threw the ball 47 times, which Fine only attempted as many or more passes 6 times in his 4-year career. The impressive part of that is zero interceptions among those 47 passes. Fine also was pickless in 3 of those 6 games. Something we forget about Aune is that he was officially a walkon. From 2011-2019 we signed 14 quarterbacks to scholarships in those classes. Aune already has more passing yards than 10 of those 14 signed QBs had/have for their entire Mean Green careers. Across Conference USA he is 2nd to Abraham in pass yards per game, which is based on his average over 3 games of which he really has only played about 2 full games worth of action with the rotating. He is tied for the second best TD/INT ratio in CUSA, and his passing efficiency of 147.6 is 6th in the conference, .5 points behind Abraham and with the 1st place guy at FIU only having 13 pass attempts so far. Mason Fine’s passing efficiency was 143.5 last year. Like I said earlier, we all saw the bad moments in the start. Missed passes, slow start, fumbles, etc. But the purpose of this post was just to show how he has stacked up against the guys we have trotted out there and the guys other CUSA schools have. Also to remind ourselves of the context that this was his first start. If this is his starting point, it seems like a good one as far as him being a solid CUSA QB, even if he never becomes an all-CUSA QB.

Be careful, some fans don't want to hear about reality.

This thread shall now be a party thread.

Very useful

Woah! Now I would definitely take a Apogee model

Only if Vito doesn't pick us to not lose.

If Vito were Toby

When I was selecting my new seats due to the COVID precautions I was told we are suppose receive a model of the Stadium. I was asked if they would be mailed, he said they were still working out the kinks. But said they may have us pick up during one of the home game. Said the goal was to hopefully get it figured out by the second game. They must be still working out logistics. Who’s knows though, may have to follow back up.

Really?? I surely thought it was an action shot from a game in the future. /s

But I get that every year watching mean green football..

If you just look from the waist down, you could almost assume we have a team in the Tour de France this year.

You realize this is just for pictures, right?? There aren't even pads in the pants in the picture.

Since the 2018 regular season ended, Littrell is: 3-11 vs FBS Competition Avg score in those losses: Opp: 42 UNT: 24

All 175 lbs to provide immediate help in 2021.

AA will be fine. Comparing him to our few historically good QB's isn't fair to him. IMO...AA will get better and more confident as the season progresses. The offense will put some points on the board. The only major problem with our offense is our defense. You can't play good defense when you continually have some of your best players quarantined..... Somebody on defense has got to step up in order to beat UNC-C. UNT can beat them if that happens....

Let’s not forget Fine’s first start he was just 11-22 for 108 yards against an FCS school. The next week against Florida he was 6-22 for 66 yards. He threw 6 touchdown passes for the whole season. Sure we can say he showed something, but let’s not make it seem like he was good from the get go. I get there’s a huge difference from a 27-year old redshirt sophomore and a 19-year old true freshman, but Aune is well ahead of where Fine was when he took over the starting job. Of course we shouldn’t expect as big of a leap as Fine made, but he’s going to get better with more reps just as every multi-year starting QB should. Even if he doesn’t have the “it” factor.

Sounds like you have a personal vendetta against Bean /s

I'm very sorry you are ill and hope you recover soon. I couldn't find an appropriate tag so I went with a heart.

Wow, thank you for sharing that. I wish you all the best and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Wishing you a speedy recovery with little to no complications.

He didn’t. Do you often stretch the truth like a Nancy Pelosi face lift? Rick

Regardless you love you some fire helmet more than most it seems? Rick
