  1. Is it bad that I kinda want Carthage to lose ? The more they play , the more college coaches will see , the more chance he gets enticed with other new offers ...

    Still have 8 weeks to go till signing day

    I completely share the sentiment.

    At the same time, it isn't like Goree is this hidden gem. He had a big junior year last year for a 3A state power. I hope he realizes that and doesn't fall for the bs that the big schools who come in late will give him.

    Also, he just turned 17 this year. Could you imagine if this was his junior year? Which it could be age wise.

    ha. Someone isn't a fan of Cooley.

    I feel like if you aren't being intentionally mean there is no problem.

    Also feel like if you are an athlete you shouldn't read the boards. Bad for your mental health.

    Lol, good find. I hope these recruits and players realize that fans who criticize players also support them. You should post more in recruiting forum Aztec.

  3. In don't see it as much a slight to McNulty, Berglund or DaJon as the fact that the bar has been raised here. We expect to win 8-9 games every season. from the expectation standpoint we do not have the luxury of having a losing season because we are learning on the job at QB. Look at the results in C-USA this season. The teams without QB's or trying to nurse along young ones struggled mightily. Even Tulane with their outstanding defense struggled because of their issues at QB. It's without a doubt the most important position on the team.

    I think raising the bar is a better way of putting it. I didn't mean it as a slight either.

    Whoever wins the job, I really like the schedule. It's a throw them into the fire game against UT, where they can take some lumps and go out with little to lose like the Georgia game, then a winnable home game against a decent team in SMU, which I think will be much like our Ball State game from this year in terms of a measuring stick. Then we have a pad the stats game for our qb against Nicholls State, kind of like the Idaho game, followed by a tough but winnable road game against Indiana, which stacks up a lot like the Ohio game from this year.

    We can afford to be 1-3 in non-conference while building our new qbs confidence heading into conference play, but I think 2-2 should be what we shoot for with potentially a realistic shot at 3-1. Again, we'll have a pretty good idea of what we're looking at both at qb and as a team next year after the SMU game, maybe the UT game.

  4. Agree. Because of NCAA, I haven't said anything to either family about UNT or where they are going...which drives my wife crazy because she knows I follow football so much. But...

    ...he's a good kid and I am hoping he's on our radar at least as a walk-on. Kickers, as we know well, are streaky (ask Nick Saban as well!), so it never hurts to have options there. We were darn fortunate to have a kid behind Olen this year.

    Yup. A walkon nonetheless, in Zach Paul.

    That Allen team is one of the most dominant high school football teams I've ever seen with maybe the best coaching staff in the state. He's an absolute weapon on special teams. He can kick it deep or kick a high pooch kick and pin the other team.

  5. RB is the easiest position to replace. Andrew Tucker, Zac Whitfield, Carlos Harris and even Blake Dunham (haha) were good RB in high school and could be moved there in emergency.

    I agree. But my original point in all that was that Willie Ivery would be better served at running back for us than receiver, where we have 4 other freshman coming in. But as someone said, he is coming in to play running back so that's good.
  6. State semifinal round. Carthage, led by two of our wide receiver commits Tee Goree and O'Keeron Rutherford, remains as well as DeSoto, with Mean Green commits defensive tackle Shaq Jackson and injured d-end Johnavohn Graham.

    DeSoto vs. Allen, Saturday December 13th, 2 pm at Mesquite Memorial stadium

    - In a rematch of last year's state semifinals, two 14-0 teams fight for a birth in the 5A division 1 state championship game. DeSoto had a short week after surviving against Euless Trinity on Monday, while Allen has had a normal full week to prepare coming of their win on Saturday. Could possibly be a shootout where either who makes a big stop or who has the ball last wins.

    Carthage vs. La Grange, Friday December 12th, 7:30 pm in Mansfield

    - Carthage comes in hot, but will be playing 13-0 La grange, featuring offensive tackle Zach Ledwick, a Texas A&M commit. Winner advances to the 3A division 1 state finals.

  7. The win against ULL last year on national tv. Never seen an atmosphere like the one after that game while an undergrad.

    Honorable mention goes to hosting and hanging tough with k-state for the last game at Fouts.

    That Jimmerson screen and run probably is my favorite UNT football moment. I know that win wasn't quite as significant as the ones we've seen this year, but that play itself has to be my favorite moment.

    The stand was awesome and it's hard to say that isn't my favorite, especially what was on the line. Houston game was electric, seeing them run out that game have me crazy chills.

    Another honorable mention is the 80 yard touchdown run by Brandin Byrd last year against South Alabama. That was one of the most beautifully blocked plays I have ever seen.

    We've had some great moments recently, and I like to think we're in for some more. Especially with the energy and passion that we play with at Fouts.

  8. And that may become a pretty significant issue if Rex Rollins' injury is as serious as has been led on.

    Exactly. Hopefully he's better, but it's kind of plan for the worst and hope for the best sort of thing. We're also only going to have 2 healthy scholarship running backs during spring ball. If I'm Mac and crew, I'm blowing very quick whistles any time Jimmy or Mark Lewis get the ball. Also could be a good chance for a guy like Erick Evans.
  9. Ivery was recruited as a RB, not WR. I would think they will split him out here and there, but his statements reflect that he will run the ball.

    Yup. Also, take into account that we didn't sign any running backs last recruiting class and we may not be able to use any of our few remaining scholarships on a running back. Ivery may be our only running back recruit between the 2013 and 2014 signing classes.
  10. This is very good information -- the shocking thing is how few spots we have left to give. Hopefully we will land the linebacker and get a few defensive linemen to close things out.

    I have NO issue with having to back in Blake Macek, Kenny Buyers, Kaydon Kirby and you know this Fortenberry kid if he is anything close to his bro he will be a keeper. Aaron Wallace has a tremendous upside but he hasn't played in awhile so he will be rusty. Mac loves Caldwell although we didn't get to see a lot of him this year.

    I agree with Vito that the key right now is holding on to what we have and having a good backup plan in case we lose anyone.

    Absolutely agree. Two Freshman all-conference players and honorable mention guys like Buyers are absolutely worth it.

    And yes, the guys we have committed are key. Especially those receivers who had breakout years like Fonzale Davis and Tee Goree. Those two will likely have the big boys knocking on their door saying come play for a Big 12 team.
