Innocent until proven guilty. Hopefully the legal process gets the real facts. Often times these cases are mistakingly decided, and can be perpetually damaging to the accuser or the perpetrator.

Man, wearing that mask on the “student side” might be a tad warm for awhile too.
I am guessing folks will lower them when they get to their seats. Don’t know “official” policy on that, but who would be there to enforce it except some self-made “mask policeman” sitting near you?
One thing I did learn at the Radio Show last night is that the dept. is hoping to be able to ease up on some restrictions as the season goes along IF people play nice and follow the guidelines....which hopefully keeps the virus away from Apogee and it’s fans. So, the more folks that “play nice together in the sandbox” the better chance we have at seeing more fans, more tailgating, etc., etc.
Also...no march in by the team and band we were told. Will “verify” that at HBU game, but seems appropriate. Why have players slap hands with random folks who may or may not have the virus? Lots of changes...no halftime or pregame band on field, no Cheer Team on field (the only CUSA team without its Cheer team on the field for games), etc. Let’s hope that by Saturday and the HBU game or at least by the SMU some of this changes for the better.
Fingers crosses! Play nice people.
The gameday experience this year will be different, and will have to be fluid. Fanbase needs to be patient as the staff and security will do the best they can with what they've been given, and who knows? It may change a little bit game by game.

The team used to, like clockwork, announce what unis we were wearing early in the week. This week... nada.
I have seen a lot of promotion of the team wearing the throwbacks, but they wore the throwbacks in all the team pics last year too.
Does anyone know what we will actually be wearing on game day?
Who knows with the Covid circumstances, what the impact has been on Nike's factories around the world. Someone mentioned throwbacks - but we will have to see.

You can send them workouts, tell them to eat right, etc... but some won't realize how important those things are until they arrive for camp.
...absolutely. And remember with the whole Covid issue, a lot of summer workouts and the ability to have kids on campus was entirely different than any other year.

While looking through the roster and the various position groups it really stood out to me how many of these guys had at least one P5 school offer them in high school. We can basically put together a starting lineup of guys who had P5 offers, and are 2-3 deep there in some positions. So I did.
This obviously is nothing like what our starting lineup will look like and some of these guys will get or have already been outplayed by guys who didn’t have P5 offers, but it’s encouraging to see so many of these type of players competing for spots. That’s how you build a good roster. The guys who emerge from these competitions will be the real deal.
QB:
RS SO Austin Aune (TCU, Texas Tech, Kansas)
RS FR Will Kuehne (Maryland)
RS FR Amani Gilmore (Kentucky, Tennessee) - Sitting out season due to transfer
RB:
RS JR Tre Siggers (Louisville, Texas Tech)
RS SR Nick Smith (Cal, Purdue)
FR Ikaika Ragsdale (Arizona, Oregon)
WR:
SR Jaelon Darden (Virginia Tech)
SO Deonte Simpson (Northwestern)
RS FR Kealon Jackson (Kansas, West Virginia)
FR Detraveon Brown (Ole Miss, Kentucky, Kansas)
FR Loronzo Thompson (Baylor, Utah)
TE:
RS FR Khatib Lyles (Indiana, Texas Tech, Kansas, Utah)
RS FR Asher Alberding (Kansas)
FR Jake Roberts (Colorado)
Offensive Line:
RS SO Jacob Farrell (OK State, Kansas, TCU, Texas Tech) - Sitting out season due to transfer
Defensive Line:
RS SO Davontae McCrae (Miss State, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri)
FR Jonathan Pickett (Arizona, Arizona State, Vanderbilt, West Virginia)
FR Kortlin Rausaw (Colorado, Iowa State)
Linebackers:
JR KD Davis (Illinois)
RS FR Taylor Jacobs (Texas Tech)
Cornerbacks:
RS SO Jordan Rucker (Purdue)
RS FR Jevin Murray (Louisville, Oregon State)
Safeties:
JR Alex Morris (Indiana, Louisville)
RS SO Jaxon Gibbs (Illinois)
FR Garnett Burke (Kansas)
25 guys with P5 offers out of 85 scholarship spots available is extremely impressive. Especially when you consider 20 of these guys are underclassmen and only 2 are seniors. Really excited to start seeing this type of talent on the field for us.
Excellent breakdown Billy! Exciting to have this many young talented players throughout the roster. This 2020 roster will be the most talented team since Littrell took the job, and filling in another 2020 class like the previous two should put us around the top of C-USA rosters in terms of raw talent.

All three of these guys are certainly key additions. McRae and Grey will be difference makers!

Yikes...this is almost like free agency. Hopefully there will be plenty of clarity in the rules & regulations to preclude "open recruiting" while a student athlete is enrolled at an institution.

Honestly might make more money and will have more responsibilities to build the resume.
Bingo. Quality Control assistants make minimal $ at the FBS level.

Some of you guys really stretch on negative. Here's what I think. It's obvious Seth wants to bring some aspects of the Briles offense. From the timing, my guess is he looked at other options. Maybe Kendall? Maybe Josh Lebby (who was hired at Ole Miss), maybe others. At the end of the day, the best option was O Line coach from Tulsa (Phil Mongtgomery is still known as the best OC Baylor ever had) and Tate Wallis who was the receivers coach of the year in college football while at Baylor. Seth will probably call the offense until one of those guys or Mainord proves they are ready.
As for what I'm expecting, I'm expecting UCF style offense. Josh Heupel is an air raid guy but hired Josh Lebby and integrated some Baylor stuff. With Seth and Josh being close, my best guess is Seth wants to do something similar.
As for the differences, I personally think Briles did run the ball more effectively than Air Raid. Always liked some the wider splits on the line, etc. Not sure how this looks early, but I can follow the logic and think the end product could be explosive.
Bingo! Jeff Lebby's influence at UCF was integral in their offensive performance when combined into Heupel's system. Tate Wallis has the same background (if anyone watched Argyle, they looked like Baylor circa 2014-2015) and Mike Bolesch comes from the same scheme. Should be a nice combination of Baylor + Seth's offense, not too unsimilar to UCF.

Wasn’t Cumbie on our HC list at one time? He knows the area and has coached some great offensive players.
No, that was Doug Meacham.

Briles won't be at Ole Miss unless it's as a position coach. They already have an OC in former UCF OC Jeff Lebby.
Lebby is Briles' brother in law

Let’s put this in perspective: With Gibbs, Odom, Stoops, and others we are talking about seasoned candidates who have coordinated at the P5 level for years, including the College Football Playoff. We all have every right as fans to be disappointed in the 2019 results, and I can assure you no one is more disappointed than our leaders in Wren Baker and Seth Littrell. However, the good news is that we have raised the bar, financially and otherwise to where our AD, head coach, and key donors are willing to step up to the plate to bring in a coordinator or this caliber for a price that is possibly greater than what the previous head coach (McCarney) was making just a few years ago.
If we slow down and put that in perspective, common sense would say we should be encouraged as fans and excited about upgrading the caliber of defensive coordinator at UNT. This is an exciting opportunity to take a major step forward with our program!

Morris is overrated. True, he loves his offense and it sucks almost as much as his defense. They should have never hired him in the first place, just like Bielema who brought an old school offense to the SEC...bad fit. Arkansas would solidify their reputation as a cluster by bringing Petrino back as well. I have heard the top names are Norvell, Leach and possibly Napier at UL-La. The would do well to get Norvell to move a couple hours NW to Fayetteville. I am surprised the Mad Hatter hasn't been mentioned.
They need to do something because they are losing commits left and right. Speaking of losing commts, Kansas just lost two OT's. They are both Midwestern boys, but we should go after them.
How is Norvell different than hiring Morris?

We have never won in black. As far back as the first time we wore black against FAU under Dickey, black means a loss.

Four SLC teams held Abilene Christian to fewer points than we did. And Stephen F. Austin held ACU to the same amount of points (31) that we did in double overtime(DII Tarleton State beat SFA for God’s sakes).
We scored 38 points and still lost to lousy Charlotte, and I post that I want to see our fastest player moved to corner.
What else other than about our defense could I possibly be referring to?
Rick
The original post read a bit broader than the defense. Thank you for the clarification in reference to the defense, that makes total sense.
In your opinion what would the addition of one of the fastest player on the team change on the defense? For the record, the fastest player on the team is a WR, but is not 84.

Bean needs to be moved to corner so he can shut down one side of the field and start building this thing right like it should be.
If we don’t find us a damn defense it won’t matter who plays QB.
Rick
Rick, are you saying that there has been no building since Littrell arrived in December 2015?

Or every other week! Oh wait we play Rice in 2 weeks!
Rice is much better than their record. They have played several quality opponents (including Baylor) very close. That'll be a tough one in Houston.

Littrell or any other head coach is going to hire their own coaches. They may and many probably do go through consultants to find the best available candidates. This is done in part to keep the search confidential, from the public, current staff, and other teams involved.
This type of assistant search is why these guys have high powered agents who have connections and networks throughout the sport to find, contact, and set up interviews with the candidates.

Breaking (Updated follow-up with arrest affidavit information) -- Tate Wallis arrested
in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)

You've got to be kidding - what a naive statement. Of course UNT conducted a background check during the interview process, and I'd bet this was a more scrutinizing one (given the Baylor accusations of the past).
