Cr1028

The point was, signing day is not yet here. The rankings today are not the rankings in February. We got 2 freshman all-conference members in January last year. No need to bring out the tar or feathers just yet. Also, the precious recruiting rankings had Augie Dibiase rated above Mason Fine and it turns out Fine was pretty good. Ladarius Hamilton was ranked very low also and he turned out to be a good player too. The recruiting rankings didn't account for Bryce English or Demonte Hood either. I'm always leary of the rankings because people like Geoff Ketchum decide that if a 3-star kid gets an offer from Texas, he really should be a 4-star kid. If Texas rescinds that offer and he signs with UNT, well, turns out, I think he belongs at 3-stars after all. Isadore and Pearson look to be really good competition for Mason Fine going into next year. These guys have a plan and are likely working it. Also, what happens if you are a good recruiter and can't put together a good game plan on Saturday? I'll let you two think it over. Our current DC has an answer though.

January 5, 2016 - Bryce English We'll be alright.

Don't you worry Plumm, we have a Willy good running back still healthy.

I just threw our UNT guys about 10 more votes.

im ok with that because it means we won the game

Reminds me of an Adam Sandler bit.....come on, pull out that hog of yours, I wanna see it, haha

Yes but he also said UNT sold 8k tickets out its "box office" meaning entirety of tickets NT sold through the university. We didn't sell 30k tickets but we had that many fans in the stands. Big difference. Most bought at the door, through the bowl site, or through ticketmaster(as I did last time, not this time).

@PlummMeanGreen, please listen again around the 4:05 mark.

That was all due to play calling and Morris' unwillingness to tuck it and run. I know we have 1 quarterback with a 300 yard passing game this year and it isn't the one who played for Nick Saban.

He is a running back now.

Probably the size and speed of athlete too.

I hope this is sarcasm. If not, 11 guys on the defensive side of the ball would like a word with you.

Dang. I swung and missed. Props to you sir.

He also averaged 7.5 per carry at UTEP. He is only a "scat back/3rd down back" because that is all the coaches let him be. Just like the Cowboys and North Texas' all-time leading rusher.

Yes Jeff Wilson is great but Willie Ivery is just as good when given the reps.

My biggest gripe with the kid. For that reason I'd rather have Shanbour out there over Morris if Fine can't go just to keep the defense honest. I'm not the coach which is why I expect Morris to start. That shoulder injury he suffered is no joke. He can still probably throw but I'm sure it hurts like hell and that is when you end up with errant passes.

If this was Vegas, I'd put money on Morris starting. I don't see how Mason can be able to throw pain-free just yet. He could go out there if really needed but I'd bet Morris gets the nod.

Rumor is he is headed back to UT. The lawsuit has to do with their departed track coach having a relationship with one of her athletes. Her argument is that Applewhite also had a relationship with a student(though it wasn't an athlete, just a student trainer) and as a heterosexual, white, able-bodied male coach, he was treated differently than she was as a disabled, black, gay woman.

Haha, I like your style.

I completely follow your logic and you make a good point. This gives me all the indication I need though. I can't see Mr. Landry's with the deep pockets taking Orlando or Applewhite. He wants a name. They probably left Orlando's and Applewhite's names under consideration so they don't jet to UT before UH's bowl game on the 17th. Reporters like Mark Berman and Duarte down in Houston just parrot whatever the UH company line is, that's all.

I got two in the corner.

I wish him the best. He did some good things with us but sometimes circumstances don't work out. I'm glad he will be close to Carthage and hope that he continues to root for us and his Carthage teammate O'Keeron Rutherford.

I really thought this was cool. Also, found a ranking.

I've heard they are also kicking around the idea of bringing back their former running backs coach as head coach. And not the one from Cibolo either.

I feel no sadness for the programs that lose coaches. I feel for the players and parents that have a used car salesman with a whistle like Tom Herman come into their living room and promise to take care of them for the next several years and leave less than a year later. None of those UH players probably thought he'd leave less than 2 years after taking the UH job. I think the worst was that he knew he was leaving before the Memphis game that he was leaving yet he looked those young men in the eye after the game and lied to them anyway. No integrity. I get that some coaches dance around that question when asked by their players if they are leaving but to look them in the eye and lie to their face knowing you'd be taking your UH-donor provided car to the airport the following day to board a plane for a 1 way trip to Austin is despicable in my view.
