These were the first round of hires that we find out about awhile back.

I was just logging on to comment on how cheap this bowl is to not even paint the field for the appropriate teams, they have to play with "SMU" in the end zones.
They didn't paint the end zones at the Frisco Bowl either.

There should be no more focus on Denton schools than there is on any other Metroplex school. I want the best players, not a zip code player!
Yes but there is good football in Denton and I'd argue Denton was being recruited worse than the rest of the metroplex (which was not good either).

This is aging horribly.
With Andrew, I would expect nothing less. You football board people just don't get to see it as often as those of us who lurk on the dark side of the basketball board.

Good for him. Would that lower what we owe him?
Yep, I believe they would need to pay him what's considered a normal wage for that position, and then we would only be responsible for the difference.

Aune does make some nonsensical throws, everyone agrees on that.
One thing you can’t ignore is that during his 4 year career Mason Fine’s very best QBR was 56.8 in 2018. Austin Aune had a 68.4 this season which just happened to be higher than Grayson McCall’s 67.7, Austin Reed’s 66.2, Quinn Ewers 65.6, Will Rogers 63.3, and Cam Ward’s 60.4.

Yes watching some of the nonsensical interceptions is maddening but the man is nowhere near as bad a quarterback as some make him out to be.
And thus, why QBR is BS.

His kids must be nearing college age by now, doesn't he need to get a job so he can put them through school?

I bet he goes to Cal with his former OL/QB/OC coach. They just had 2 QBs enter the portal. It's a perfect fit. Plus, he would get to face his former squad the first week.
Our CBs thinking about this

I believe Littrell had a honeymoon period where fans let the man do things his way without too many questions. It wasn't until after a few seasons that people began to evaluate the data and question Littrell's leadership.
As for this recruit, I actually know a little about this situation (Don't ask me how). From what I've heard, Sides is a good kid and has had his sights on UNT for a long time. I believe Sides was set to be a preferred walk on under Littrell's staff. But IWU offered, and he was set to sign (free college is still free college). I guess Morris saw something in him that he felt merited a scholarship. I'm not going to question Morris on this one. It makes sense to me that if we are going to be able to identify under the radar talent, we should see it in our own backyard first. Davis was a solid player for UNT. Hopefully Sides will be too. Time will tell.
If it's important to Morris to recruit the Denton schools (it is), then a good way to open that pipeline is to start bringing in kids from said schools. Perhaps a little stretch, when you can afford to stretch, is a good way to start building those relationships, and building that trust!

Will this be on radio anywhere? I’m probably going to be driving at the time.
With the current state of Mean Green Radio, your best bet will be too listen to the video stream.

Gilbert hire? Did I miss something?
Edit: Never mind. Found it on Footballscoop.com
North Texas: Pete Thamel tweets that Texas director of high school relations Chris Gilbert is expected to become the new assistant head coach / tight ends coach at North Texas.

Warning, some of you are not going to like the group that SMU is going to sign tomorrow. According to the recruiting services, this is probably their best haul ever.
But have you ever considered our approach of *not having a class*?

What would be the benefit of that approach? Not challenging, just curious.
Not throwing their previous school into chaos if they leave right before signing day and all their recruits are suddenly reconsidering?
Just a thought.

He doesn't have to just win, he as to win conference championships and bowl games. That's the unrealistic standard Neal has set.
Winning bowl games against what should be evenly matched teams is unrealistic?

Don’t be surprised if Morris doesn’t keep anyone or bring any former UNT players/coaches back. He has his own network & guys he trusts.
He was already quoted as saying he planned on retaining some. Radio broadcast during halftime.

Just a question, but I saw where attendance was only 12,000 . Any ideas as to why so low? I think we had more last year playing Miami of Ohio on a weeknight in the " MADE UP BOWL".
Last year's team was riding an improbable five game win streak going into the bowl game, and coming off the high of beating undefeated UTSA in the final game of the season. It was actually a weekday game, but weather was great.
This year's team had lost two of the final three games, just got done firing their coach, and it felt like fan apathy was at an all-time high. Compounded by the fact that it was near freezing temperatures for pretty much the whole game, and the game started so late that it ended after midnight local time, I was not surprised at all that attendance was what it was.

Actually, this year was more costly to the University. Wanted to do essentially the same thing as last year, but the Frisco Bowl wouldn’t allow it. There was already a contracted tailgate event between the bowl and Tailgreeter. You might recall that originally the cost was to be $100 per person. The Alumni Association joined forces with Tailgreeter and paid down the per person cost so that guests only had to pay $25 per person (or $75 same day). This cost the Alumni Association more money because much of last year’s event was made possible through alumni donated food, drink, etc.
Well in that case, glad you all did something. And sorry of the bowl to box y'all in like that!

Did they ever replenish the BBQ?
It was like 2 hours before the game and they had run out of barbecue. The bar was solid though and the band was pretty perfect for the event.
It was hit or miss. Luckily Rudy's was around the corner so they restocked in relatively short order every time they ran out.

I wondered if there was some kind of discipline issue with him barely playing in the first half. I don't remember seeing him on the field until late in the 2nd quarter and unless I missed it, I don't think he got a target until the 3rd quarter. He was dressed and on the sideline the entire time, and him being so limited in the first half felt like a major WTF.
He's so much fun and such a disruptive difference maker when he's on the field.
He always seemed to be a great home run threat, but routine passes to him often ended up on the ground.
My assumption was that they just stopped drawing up any plays for him other than deep balls.

If you did not attend the tailgate event last night, you missed the BEST event that the UNT Alumni Associate has ever put together!!!
those whole staff set the bar for big time College Football/sports!!!
Not as good as the ones that they did in Frisco last year, but I understand it was better financially for them to partner with a third party for a "tailgate in a box" type setup, so I'm all for saving the school money.
Next time, just please have a better beer selection!

Logo Hierarchy?
in Mean Green Football
Posted
Not gonna lie, I get a bit of a Southlake Carroll feel from the new logo that has popped up on all the new athletic gear and such.
Maybe it's just Todd Dodge PTSD.
