I just hope he doesn't have us all saying everybody plays the fool in a couple years.    I'm just telling it like it is.

[Grant Gunnell Video]

All I see is bad blocking, receivers who are outclassed by the DB across from them, and an offensive playbook that throws the ball BACKWARDS for some strange reason.  
 

Still looks better than anything we had last year.

I really hope you're right.  Important to remember that Gunnell just had all spring to beat out the guy in front of him and clearly didn't, so let's not act like we are getting some big star.  From October 6, 2019 until today Arizona has won one football game so again I'm just taking this experience with some realistic expectations.

Let’s be honest.  At Memphis he was trying to beat out the QB’s on their roster.  At North Texas he’s trying to overtake…Aune.  

[DRC: Five reasons for pessimism for UNT heading into the 2022 season (Part II of annual series)]

#1- SL has NEVER, not once, proven he can win when it truly matters 

#2- Despite having what seems like 30 different QB's on this roster over the last half decade, we still don't have one that makes you say "yeah, that's the guy!" during games

#3- A WR room that has been full of "potential" for a while now still hasn't come close to matching what we had with Darden, Bussey, and Guyton

#4- While we bring in transfers from FCS and D2 schools, our opponents bring in transfers from the P5 ranks.   You can say until you're blue in the face that people were "productive" at lower levels, but talent is talent is talent (if you don't believe this, watch film of games from years past).  

#5- I can't quite put my finger on the exact reason, but this feels like the least excited I've been for a season in a long time.   Like, less excited than the last few years of Dickey or McCarney eras.

So far we have:

Zach Simmons
Jordan Williams
Shannon Shorter
TB III

You give me that roster (in their college playing days) and any of the following, Josh White, Ryan Woolridge or Javion Hamlet, and I’ll put $10,000 on them to win CUSA this year.

Shannon Shorter has been added as well

They should have an open try out spot for a member of the boards! Let’s get that going! 

Agreed.  And then they should leave them on the bench all game so we have something to gripe about

[I need your help Mean Green Nation]

Admins, feel free to move this but I really wanted to get this in front of the biggest audience possible.  

On June 11th, I will be repelling off of a 6-story tower to raise money for the Children's Advocacy Center of North Texas.   The money raised will support therapy sessions for children who are brave enough to come forward about abuse.   I encourage everyone to click the link below and give!   

Children's Advocacy Center for North Texas, Inc. - Argyle Police Department's fundraiser (networkforgood.com)

Also, if you are local, that same day my police department will be hosting our 2nd Annual Child Safety Fair.   It is free and will include a LOT of activities, information, and giveaways to keep kids safe.

Rod Brown had as many TFLs and Sacks in 8 games as a true freshman last season than Abbe did in 14 games as a senior.

I remember a defense that only needed Cardwell and Booger with one or two spelling them from time to time.

I certainly don’t see Cardwell or Booger (or Abbe, or Pruitt, or Sarge McCoy) on this roster…so maybe we need all the bodies we can get to hope for success by committee

At least the kids we have coming from ACU have some game experience.

Just because they had “P5 talent” out of high school does not make them a FBS caliber player. They could have bad attitude, work ethic, off field issues, or a multitude of other issues that may have caused them to leave the vaunted P5. I’d take good kids from ACU with game experience all day over those P5ers.

Teams that go 0-12 are also full of players with "game experience."

I would reference when athletes leave their respective teams for “greener pastures”. Simply see Lebron leaving Cleveland. 

So, back-to-back-to-back-to-back NBA Finals appearances and two titles in his first excursion away from Cleveland, and another title the second time he left, is what you’re resting your argument on?  
 

Seriously man, do you just hand the keyboard to a monkey with a learning disability and say “Have at it!”??

And just think, the likely starter this year couldn’t start the season over that Kansas xfer OR the guy who transferred in the next year.
