Mean Green 93-98

Yes, I am aware of all that, and remember when they were very good back in the 80's or so. But, as you said, they haven't been very great lately, and had pretty much fallen off the radar until a long-past-his-prime Pitino went there.

On the face of it, St. John's doesn't sound very impressive. Nothing like Rubbin going to Michigan. I looked it up, St. John's actually averaged over 10k a game last season. Many voices have been telling us over the years that we need to pick up our attendance if we want to be able to get to the next level. I don't doubt that at least played some part in losing Aaron to St. John's.

QB transfer from Liberty.

New Mexico should have to pay royalties to North Texas for calling their arena "The Pit."

I already know about him. Deion was on him all year for his lack of work ethic. EDIT: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/from-colorado-to-transfer-portal-is-there-a-path-of-redemption-for-cormani-mcclain/

I think it's pretty clear that Deion wants a revolving door of players every year. And his best players are staying, and at least some of those who entered the portal were encouraged to do so.

You mean Louisiana Tech.

True, but my speculation is better.

Bigger than the Redbud Festival? Bigger than the Storytelling Festival? When did Denton start this?

This matter has been cleared up, if you read the posts that came in the days after I posted this. The reason it would have been humiliating is if Taylor chose UCA over UNT because he saw it as a better opportunity. If UCA is not exactly a powerhouse, that would make UNT something even worse. And again, if you read the insider's post above, Taylor's release had nothing to do with an inability to play here. There's a good chance would have started here from day one.

Thank you. I hate to lose him--he is a far cry from a "developmental high school recruit"--but I understand things a whole lot better now.

Never heard of it. Is this really such a big deal as to cause problems?

This is humiliating.

K.D. Davis comes to mind. I know there are plenty of others, although that is certainly the exception rather than the rule.

You know, looking at the picture I think you're right. I know some time has gone by, but that looks like a different guy. What's the source on this photo?

Congrats to Andrew!

I'm trying to think--prior to Wren, who is the last person to go straight from the A.D. position at NT to another A.D. position at an FBS school?

The Big 12 already turned down Louisville. What makes you think they'd go after Pitt?

Former Rutgers A.D. Tim Pernetti. Not sure what to make of this hire, myself. He sounds okay. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/aac-hires-tim-pernetti-as-new-commissioner-former-rutgers-athletic-director-replaces-mike-aresco/

You do know that high school players are getting NIL deals just as surely as transfer players are, right?

I don't understand the question. Are you saying we can offer better NIL deals than the schools that used to sign this type of player? If not, it seems we'll get less of a sniff than ever.

Yep. The NCAA (rightfully, in this case) fought against NIL tooth and nail, and were forced by politicians to allow it.

Of course he's eligible. As far as I know, anyone who has ever played for North Texas is eligible. The question is, do they have the resume? The fact that Rewbuhn is transferring is a minor strike against him, but I don't see him having a HOF-worthy resume regardless of transferring.
