  1. just combined right shoulder and left field. :D doesn't exactly set her up well to field her position, does it? i'm sure our coaches can tweak her delivery and help her out.

    The uniqueness of her delivery may help with her effectiveness, but I agree that it does not put her in the position to field her position.

  2. Basically the story is that Shorter played a prank that "went bad," so he had to serve a semester-long suspension. He completed 15 hours at a JUCO to remain academically eligible, and did what he was asked to come back to the team.

    Welcome back, John!

    Good news indeed.

  3. Remember, that the position needs to posted for a full month before Rick can officially offer it to somebody, and we would want that coach to be hired immediately after the season.

    First off, I too hope Dodge is extremely successful this year and for many to come at North Texas.

    But, can someone please explain the above to me? It seems Tech fired Leach and had Tuberville hired in no time. Is this correct and if so, why do we have to post the job for 30 days prior to filling the position?

  4. it's even more impressive that she's doing it while looking in right field. seems like a weird delivery, but i don't watch a lot of softball, maybe it's common to do that.

    No, it is a weird delivery and obviously effective, although I would be concerned about future injuries due to the odd mechanics. Oh, and she would be looking at left field.

    Anyway, I love the comments below the video as she is obviously excited to come to North Texas. If she is throwing in the 60's, this is comparable to a baseball pitcher throwing in the 90's, with the movement she has, we will be looking at a number of no hitters.

  5. The Sun Belt will emerge and then merge. We will be at the forefront of the emergence under the steady guidance of Chico Canales. So much so, in fact, that on second though I think mergers will become talk of the past and conference will fight to gain our admittance in to their leagues.

    After the Chico Canales Show is on full display, and its battle station fully operational, we will be doing the picking and choosing when it comes to conferences, leagues, and divisions. The rest will simply float behind in the cloud of our afterfart.

    Metamucil overdose?

  6. It is obviously a big enough deal (AlamoDome) that BCS teams are scheduling to visit San Antonio and play the non-existent team from UTSA instead of San Marcos up the road with a long time program. I don't know, you tell me what's the difference and why? And why can't Virginia, Ariz, Az St., Colo St, et al visit Denton home/home against our FBS program?

    Because we played in Fouts and UTSA is nothing more than a glorified 1AA at this time. Some of these games will never happen and those that do are done so because it allows these teams visibility in Texas, one of, if not the best, recruiting states in the nation. I bet we can attract a few of these to Denton when the new stadium opens.

  7. We lost our only pass rusher and our best player , I can't see how much more improved we will be.

    Everything starts with the DLine & we didn't add anything to the mix

    I would feel comfortable in stating that Akpunku was statistically our best pass rusher and more than a few have been added to the mix including:

    Bellazin: 3 star DE

    Boutwell: Gray shirt comparable to Jeremy Chapman

    And a few others that I don't recall. Plus Aniyam, Obi, Atkinson, Jackson, Weber, White, Cantly, etc... have had a year to grow in the system and work under Coach Char

  8. secondly, if we were to lose to clemson but rattle off a sunbelt championship, would it fill the stadium for the finale against KSU on the saturday after thanksgiving? i doubt it.

    Agree with your assessment as to the importance of the Rice game, but I have to disagree with the above. If we win the Sun Belt, the KSU game will be packed. Even if we don't win the SBC, the KSU game will have a good crowd based upon KSU has many alumni in DFW, their fans will travel and it is the Fouts Finale.

  9. I picked the bowl game because that is indicative of having a successful season as a whole. Beating Clemson would be a shocker, but Clemson has been known to falter early in the season. Kansas State concerns me because they return their entire offensive line from last year. Considering our struggles along the defensive line, we could be in for a long day, but I'm hoping to send Fouts out with a historical win.

  10. I agree with the "All of the Team" responses and think that this is their year, but individually I would like to see the following:

    I would love to see Draylen Ross have a break-out year just because he has been moved around from TE to D-Line and back to TE, appears to have a great attitude, works hard and is a positive role model for the program.

    Fro the success of the team, I would like to see either Atkinson or Jackson have a break-out year at DT. This would help the entire defense.
