  1. From head coach at WV, Mich, and AZ, to the OC at Monroe with the prospect of moving up to a HC job at MUTS or UTSA...I stand by my comment.

  5. Congrats Lance! I was at that game in the rain when Lance went OFF! Final game of the season and he set all the records! mayby 5,000 in attendance and we should have shut them out, but let them score late in the 4th for a 59-7 victory! BTW, Lance's 313 yards at 7.8 ypc allowed UNT to cruise on a night when Derek Thompson went 2-7 for 23 yards through the air. I think my group that was in attendance didnt really know how to react to this game, because it had been sooo long since we blew out a division opponent.

  6. I will give credit to CBS on the G5 games they show their announcers don't seem to take the usual smartass swipes at the G5 you see on ESPN games

  7. Dude is a Baylor Grad and is an obvious homer for schools like SMU, so I agree, he is a clown. That being said, we still don't even have a DC so who's to say how much this will change by next season?

  8. I don't know where this worry comes from, except that I think they are gripping onto something that - if you think about it - makes no sense. Look at any other postseason tourney. The "lucky" team is called "cinderella" and makes for gripping stories. Expanding the tourney would bring in more viewership and more money. If you really think about it, you're only worried because you think it means your team will lose.

  9. Oh! I think you're onto something here Letsgiveacheer... There are 5 All-American lists that count towards naming players "Consensus" or "Unanimous" All-Americans: Sporting News, Walter Camp FF, American Football Coaches Assoc, Football Writers of America & the AP. According to the NCAA's standards for receiving "Consensus" status, players must show up on at least 3 of these lists. Jaelon shows up on all 5... HOWEVER, there are only 2 spots for Wide Receivers on the All-American teams, and both Devonta Smith & Elijah Moore show up as 1st Team on 4 out of 5 lists (Devante is 1st team on all 5 lists, obviously, and Jaelon is 1st team on the Football Writers of America list). So Devonta & Elijah get the nods for those 2 "Consensus" spots due to tiebreaker rules (Elijah 4 1st team nods & Jaelon 1 1st Team nod). However, Jaelon's selection as 1st team by FWAA kept Elijah Moore from getting the coveted "Unanimous" distinction. Unless there's something I'm missing, I believe you're correct. Jaelon is NOT a "Consensus" All-American, despite showing up on all 5 lists.

Darden is the Mean Green's first consensus All-American since "Mean" Joe Greene was a consensus first team selection in 1968."

  11. I wanted to puke this morning listening to Reese Davis and others on ESPN where he (an Alabama alum) was talking about how he liked the playoffs with 4 teams and how much he respected the "committee". He was worried if they expanded to let moren teams in and all P5 conference champions what worried him was that what if a team got "lucky" in the conference championship and wasn't really the top team in that conference. Freaking homer. Time for the top 30-40 programs to spin off and form their own 'professional" college football league

  12. How about promote Ekeler and just move on? We need someone to coach LBs and he damned sure can do that. He would likely show more 4-man fronts. He is an experienced coach and was fairly successful here. (Not advocating this just an idea since we want this settled soon.) Then bring in Marcus Trice as ST coach.

  19. Well anyone has to think long and hard about talking the DC job. You are taking over one of the worse defenses in the country. Your HC is in a win or else part of his contract. The longer it takes to find the right guy the harder it will become to find that guy.

  20. Right now, no news is bad news. ULM is making somewhat splashy hires with Bowden and Rodreguez. LA Tech just landed three SEC defensive back transfers. https://twitter.com/brettvito/status/1349460615023251465 And, SMU has added an OU TE to go with their OU QB. https://twitter.com/brettvito/status/1349454986497961992 Like I stated before... while recruiting is improving we are continuing to struggle against the better G5 programs. These kinds of moves will show up on the field next season. Littrell needed a home run DC hire. Now, as other programs continue to put the pieces in place for improvement, Littrell really needs a grand slam at the DC position. We need someone soon that can persuade a few high caliber immediate impact players to transfer or sign with UNT. If thing don't start falling into place soon, we will be facing another losing season before we ever even get to fall camp.

  23. More Speculation: I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that Seth is working on another short yardage running play right up the middle after the running plays on third and fourth down fail. He is being proactive if a fifth down is ever implemented.

  27. Not sure who is trying to defend him, few if any. Next year is going to be played and Littrell is going to be the coach. Therefore, I hope Littrell turns it around and has an unexpectedly good season. NT plays in CUSA not the SEC. Predictions mean next to nothing in this league and next year because of the coronavirus, even less. NT's offense will be fine, the question is can the defense approach mediocre. The one positive is IMO, the defense can't be worse.

  31. I think the price for a quality coordinator goes up every day, we're battling in a market with some more prominent openings and we lost leverage the day it was announced that Bowen wouldn't be back. The better play would have been what Texas did, stay with your guy until you find the guy to replace them. (Hard to know for sure but the earliest SL probably thought about making a change was before the bowl game and the latest the week after) From ESPN Article: Del Conte said the three administrators served as the search committee and that in one of their earliest discussions, Eltife said, "How about that boy Sark?" Both Del Conte and Hartzell followed by saying he was high on their list, too. "Probably the first time I sat there, walked out of that meeting going, 'Holy cow,'" Del Conte said. "We actually agree. We had our guy." No one knew those three were meeting to replace Herman (his job was proclaimed safe) and when negotiating with Sark's folks had the leverage to say: "Look, we like you, we think you'd be an upgrade here, but here's what we're going to pay you, if you don't like it then we'll stick with our guy." - Basically, we don't need a coach but we've got a job for you if you want it, here are the terms. There's no doubt that if they fired Herman before identifying and coming to terms with a replacement then the market and negotiating power would have shifted away from Texas to the candidate, and the market would also adjust with "potential candidates" signing lucrative extensions, all the while driving up the cost of the hire to Texas. Our position now is moving from, we need a coach and it's a great opportunity with nowhere to go but up, to we desperately need a coach and it's good opportunity for you to advance your career. When you don't have Power 5 resources ($$), the economics, leverage, negotiating, timing, etc. matter even more!

  32. Don't retire numbers, just start adding names to the "wall of honor." By the way, it is Haynes not Hayes.

  37. Welcome aboard Carson. Found this tidbit in an SI article: "Linebacker Carson Kropp, who helped Owasso win a Class 6A State Championship in high school is a legacy Cowboys, who has a grandfather that is retired but was a longtime OSU professor. Kropp is on scholarship now."

  38. He looks like a winner to me. 🍻 High School: A team captain who played for Bill Blankenship at Owasso High School … Led the Rams to the 2017 Oklahoma 6A-1 State Championship … Earned all-state honors as a senior, as well as first team all-district honors … Team leader in tackles during his junior and senior seasons … Finished his high school career with a single game high of 18 tackles in the state championship game … Also a talented baseball player who was selected as a Rawlings-Perfect Game Preseason All-American as a senior … 247Sports ranked him as the No. 94 inside linebacker in the country and as the No. 31 overall prospect in the state of Oklahoma.
