  3. UTSA vs. UNT is the Texas Rivalry the Conference Needs

    "UTSA vs. UNT is the Texas Rivalry the Conference Needs

    Strange but true— UTSA vs. UNT is the most heated active college football rivalry in the state of Texas. The Roadrunners turned in an impressive defensive effort to gain a 3-1 series lead over UNT in what has turned into a really fun rivalry. While the Halloween weekend attendance was underwhelming (19,553), the atmosphere in the Alamodome was boisterous as Roadrunner and Mean Green fans jawed with one another as UTSA built their lead.

    Former UNT offensive lineman Mason Y’Barro infamously described UTSA as “soft and unphysical” after their loss to the Roadrunners in 2013 and UTSA sophomore running back Jalen Rhodes sniped back after last night’s win on the post-game radio show, claiming that “we were told they weren’t a physical team and that turned out to be right”. Additionally, varying accusations of Mean Green players urinating on the Alamodome turf have been floating around messages boards and social media this morning. Whether true or not, this rivalry is clearly ratcheting up in intensity with each passing year. Conference USA would be wise to work with the individual schools to brand and promote the rivalry as well as ensuring that it will be broadcast on national television or ESPN3 in coming seasons."

    I second this opinion. I have never called him a diva but I do question his a) desire to attend UNT and b) desire to keep at it with one school regardless of adversity. Honestly, it reminds me a bit of Luke Del Rio on a smaller scale because his dad isn't an NFL coach. Luke transferred to Valor Christian in Colorado for his senior year after his dad was hired by the Broncos. If Valor Christian sounds familiar it's because that's where Christian McCaffrey went. Both Del Rio and Debiase played their senior years of HS football on a team with top talent and they couldn't break through to the recruiting scene. Del Rio is at his third university in as many years. I wouldn't be surprised if DeBiase followed a similar path. It is my opinion that he believes he's greater than UNT and the second he isn't the starter or if he does become the starter, the second he has some success, it is my opinion that he will begin looking elsewhere. Seth Littrell is the only coach who has consistently been recruiting this "kid." I put kid in apostrophes because he is 20 years old and was a high school senior at 19. He was most likely the oldest player on the field most games in high school. He also worked with top QB coaches and still couldn't get the exposure he wanted while playing at a top national HS football program. And while yes, Mason Fine wasn't offered a scholly by anybody but us, it's not due to talent, it's due to size and he was offered POW at the top two Oklahoma schools. We are in C-USA and we know several Florida universities are lacking talent at the QB position. Why have none of them gone after this guy?

    What I think is happening is the coaches are going to make DeBiase earn their trust before being offered a scholarship. I think they looked at him and said "You've bounced around a lot and before we use up a scholarship offer and a precious spot of the 25 players we can sign per class, you are going to have to prove your loyalty." There's certain rules regarding how you must allocate scholarship count when placing a walk-on on scholarship and they are probably waiting until they don't have to "assign" him to a class so after his sophomore year (if I'm not mistaken) he would earn a scholarship. I think that's why he's taking online classes and will most likely be walking on. He needs to earn it first and I think our staff is making him earn it. I'm glad they are doing this because I'm not sure how loyal he is considering his high school history. We have 68 scholarship players. I would hate to waste one on a kid who doesn't want to be here.

    Valor Christian was also the high school of former Mean Green great Brock Berglund.

    Now what I do not know is does this extra practice time not allow our coaches to go out and recruit?  Like does making a bowl game take some recruiting time away?  (Was it designed as an attempt to let the less victorious teams get an early jump on recruiting??)

    The bowl season is a dead period for recruiting, so coaches aren't allowed to make contact with recruits.

    It happened towards the end of the 9:35 segment yesterday.  He said he believes that his good friend Hank is the guy for the job.  He thinks that Hank has great relationships already established in Denton and could help engage the community.  

    Check on the Unticket later today or tomorrow to see if they've posted the show's archive.

    Hide and watch. He'll end up making 1st team CUSA for Tech this coming season.

    As someone who grew up with Texas season tickets I wish nothing but the best for the kid, but he could not stay healthy.  And on top of that, he went from being a starter in 2013 to being on the bench in 2014 when he was healthy.   

    " In 2013, he moved into the starting lineup for seven games and finished fourth on the team with 74 tackles. However, the 2014 season saw Santos struggle to stay healthy or earn playing time behind Steve Edmond, so he only made 11 tackles and no disruptive plays (tackles for loss, sacks, interceptions, or forced fumbles). "
