Oh none of this is about the TCU transfer. This is all about him saying the Bama transfer was something to write home about. Plain and simple the team played better under Mason.
My bad. Yes, the team played better because they leaned on the strength of the offense which was the run game. I'm hopeful next year will be similar with the offensive linemen and running backs we've added. Run the dang ball!

Maybe he could play but my point which I will not waiver from is that the 2016 team played better with Mason at the helm than they did with Alec.
But you realize Alec was a 4 year 3rd string QB or worst while Morris has about 10 starts under his belt, right? Apples to oranges.

Does anyone know if he'll be here for spring camp?
Good question. I'd imagine he's a regular transfer coming in this spring as opposed to a grad transfer like Morris who has to wait for graduation to get that grad transfer waiver.

So Coach Burton is AAC Coach of the Year favorite at this point, right?

Where is CUSA and Sun Belt?
They have zero teams in the top 50. The highest in the Sun Belt is James Madison at 61 and the highest in CUSA is La Tech at 95. For comparison, we're at number 60.

I really do think CMorris can put up big #s in EMorris’ offense. We’ll see if he can stay healthy. But if we need him to scramble & play hero-ball, I don’t know if his knees will allow it.
He’s missing Spring ball.
He’s missing Maclin.
He’s likely going to be playing from behind a lot due to the defense.
I’m just not expecting CMorris to be much better (if at all) than Rogers, and we were not bowl eligible.
I'm also worried about his health. My hope is with the beefed up offensive line and added bulkier running backs that he'll be kept upright more. The offensive line performance regressed last year. It's a miracle Rogers didn't get hurt.
No Maclin for sure but he gets a sophomore Sides to work with. He also played with Blair Conwright at TCU. With the transfer outs, I'd imagine Conwright was going to have a bigger role next year than he did this past season and there should be some familiarity there. Plus, Morris is already going to be close with going to TCU and he's a local kid so he should be able to get unofficial reps with receivers during the spring and/or summer if that's allowed. Just running routes with a few friends.
About playing from behind, isn't that where Rogers biggest moments came? The second halves against Tulane and Memphis? It would be disingenuous to say he efficiently moved the ball against good opponents until those games were out of reach. He made them close and even took the lead against Memphis but man was there some ugly football in competitive games.

Yes. Multiple. The first one that pops into my head, due to their similar injury histories:
Nick Harvey.
I realize I wasn't specifically clear about the P5 transfer being a QB position. Being the QB1 for 10 games and getting PT as one of the 8 corners in a rotation are two completely different things. Morris has Rogers' experience but at the P5 level.

You’re pretty new around here (at least, this handle is).
It makes sense why you would think this way.
I will tell you (with receipts if you want them) that thought has proven to be false outside of 2, yes, only 2 players.
The dudes who tear it up at the lower levels, then bring that work ethic with them up to NT are the ones who do better.
Carry on. Go Mean Green!
This is a very fair statement as it pertains to our history with P5 transfers. My question to you is have we ever had a P5 transfer with as much starting experience as Chandler Morris? He was QB1 leading into 2 seasons and has a good 8 or 9 P5 starts at QB. That has to count for something.

It's been said already but Tony Mitchell for the simple reason that we really need the size and rim protection. Actually, we'd also need his post presence on offense. We've now won 2 games without 2 starting guards. While either Hamlet or Perry would be the best player on this team, they also don't play positions of need for us right now. Comes down to Bell and Mitchell but I give the edge to TM because he's just bigger.

I am in sure we can win it all but I really hope the MWC and the AAC are 3 bid leagues. I guess that means I hope we win it all and Memphis and FAU get the at large bids. Can we go back to that tournament before thanksgiving and have a do over… 🤣
I don't even need to go back to the early season tournament. I just want the Boise State and Fordham wins. We'd have a Quad 1 road win against a premier MWC team and zero Q3/Q4 losses.

Morris should have taken those nil deals and we shouldn't burn any NIL money on an oft injured player when we are poor. It just seems like a UNT move to misallocate NIL funds. I don't know I guess I don't think Whataburger would buy a grill that only turns on 50% of the time. If he's just on scholarship it's a great pickup. It's not a nice outlook of NIL but all of these players are commodities and this has a greater percentage to be a poor investment than a successful one. It doesn't matter at USC or any other school that offered him that amount but we can't even afford to fire the worst defensive coach in college football man. Obviously I want Humpty to prove me wrong and led us to an aac championship, I would be f**king ecstatic.
I think we often exaggerate injury prone when we talk about football players. Most football players get hurt and play hurt. The question with Morris isn't when will he get hurt, the question is how severe will the injury be and if he has to miss time, how much? SMU, Tulane, and UTSA all lost their QB1 to injury at some point this past season. It happens.
Also, about Morris' injuries, he hasn't suffered any season ending injuries the past 2 seasons. When he got hurt in 2022, Max Duggan just took off with the starting job and never gave it back. Morris was only out for about a month.

Funny interesting picture my brother sent me after TT game where Grant was addressing fans. Grant said “This is weird when he noticed game behind him.”
Without knowing what his body language and tone was like, it seems like he misses Denton a bit. Like a quick flashback to happier times.

The fact many think they'll score in the mid to high 60s is interesting.

Followill is the best, and I'm convinced he never takes a day off. It seems he is always at The Pit for a game if the Mavs are on a homestand and not playing that night.
Yup it sure does seem that way. He's a great fan.

This is why I love Mark Followill. I know it's not the DMN but he is the play-by-play announcer of the Dallas Mavericks and loves his Mean Green.
Also several of The Fan radio guys give regular shootouts to the Mean Green since many attended North Texas. Any media attention is great to get.

Depends on what Milroe chooses to do. I believe that Rogers only has 1 year left so he can’t go to Bama and wait behind Milroe, but with Saban leaving, Milroe could very well leave too
Looks like Milroe is staying.

I don't think Rogers is following a coach he never played for to Alabama.

QB Will Rogers is back in the portal. He had committed to Washington after leaving Kansas State.

Sorry, just my opinion, but I hope we do better.
Chandler Rogers beat teams with a combined record of 19-40.
Pavia had 35 total TDs. Not like he wasn't productive.

If it's Pavia, then our recruiting has let me down.
You mean the QB who led New Mexico State to 10 wins includng a win against Auburn on the road where he threw 3 TDs and 0 Interceptions? He'd be a massive get.
Pavia has the *it*.

Now that we have a QB1
in Mean Green Football
Posted · Edited by GMG_Dallas
A little over 10 years ago, I showed up for freshman orientation with absolutely zero knowledge of college athletics. I was always a sports fan but nobody in my family had gone to college so I didn't really know much about it. My orientation leader told our group of wide-eyed incoming freshmen that UNT football was garbage and the only exciting thing about basketball was the incoming one-and-done prospect who I'd later find out was Tony Mitchell. If it's still like that, minus the one-and-done prospect to sell, that will explain why we always get the "by UNT standards" and dead student attendance. How are our orientation leaders selling the athletic programs?
I've caught a few A10 and Missouri Valley basketball games and attendance always looks good, even in some of the bigger basketball arenas. Why is their attendance good but the AAC, CUSA, and Sun Belt basketball programs can't figure it out?
