[DRC (updated with story): Littrell -- Aune remains UNT's starting QB after today's scrimmage]

Aune may start ..... he want finish....Grant will be in.

[DeAndre Torrey signed by Eagles today]

Wish he would of played in the Frisco Classic last Dec..

When your number one offensive threat decides not to play guess what happens??

[Haven't Been Here In A While]

Lose to UTEP we start 1&4....thats not going to get Seth another year with several big conference games coming up. El Paso is make or break for SL. IMO

Not a big SL fan but but I'm hoping for a win in El Paso. It's just more fun winning.

It must be a lonely world to be a SmuT fan.

[SMU is about to shock the nation on NIL]

All that money and they couldn't even keep their last HFC at Smut. Hmmmm.....I venture to say there are cracks the the dam.

No thanks...but having spent two years assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Sector and Del Rio Sector of the US Border Patrol I kind of have a sense of the dire consequences of what's happening there. Just a joke about the disaster of our present policies.

There are few if any AD's that would have fired Littrell after the finish NT had last year.  I would have preferred a coaching change, but IMO Littrell earned another year even with a very disappointing bowl performance. 

Many seem to assume that a new hire is going to be more successful.  Certainly not guaranteed and if history is any indication probably unlikely.

DD obviously didn't consistently win here, he won and should be lauded for it in a new conference with mostly weak teams.  DD killed his own program with lackluster recruiting compounded by his health issues.  

Not sure what you call the modern era, but Rod Rust did pretty well before Fry.  

Littrell is here for next season, and I believe will to have at least a winning season to get any kind of extension.  Eight wins probably get him a new contract, less than seven wins and he is likely gone.  A 7 win season is a coin toss with how NT finished probably the primary factor in a hiring/firing decision.  

 

 

 

7 or 8 wins but one HAS to be a bowl.

[UTEP officials go to Juarez to promote 915 campaign]

Just stand at the border and make all the illegals go to the game before being released back into the public...

[UNT boosters form NIL collective]

NIL will eventually implode. Anytime money becomes involved, especially at this level in what's suppose to be amateur sports, the worst personal traits become dominate in the mad rush to get more money.

Just my opinion

SMU has had one since the 80's.

Where have I heard this before?

[UTEP closing in on sell out for UNT]

Let's see at game time how many show up.

[Dave Campbell's Football Magazine 2022]

That first game will determine SL future.....just my opinion....

[Legalize Cheating]

Expect SmuT to be the top of G5 when it comes to FB and paying players. They have extensive experience.....

 

[Optimistic]

Your Kool Aid must be a little more stout than mine...at least better than 6 wins. But that first game is quickly becoming a pressure game and SL doesn't do good to often in pressure games of late.

When I look at the schedule I see 6 too but if we can somehow beat WKU and UAB (not counting on it), that’s the 8-4 path I’d figure.  FAU and LT will both be tough too. 

UTEP - W

SMU - L

TSU - W

UNLV - W

Memphis - L

FAU - W

LT - W

UTSA - L

WKU - L*

UAB - L*

Rice - W

If that is a correct prediction a bowl win might be hard to come by.

[SMU -ACC?]

Frankly...I don't give a damn where Smut ends up! I'll trade Smut for CSU, AF, Army, LaTech any day just to shut them up!

[SMU pressuring Big 12 to add them?]

When they say DFW they include TCU, North Texas, and pretty much any University in the Metroplex.

[Austin Aune, Jay Maclin and Jake in new threads]

Did they put the name of the player on the back of the jersey?

[SMU tailgating considered elite?]

It's tailgating is elite only in the minds of Smut....

 

[Texas Tech NIL Collective]

Another semi-pro farm team..

 

 

 

[How important is UTEP game in setting direction for the season?]

I said months ago that this game will be a mental marker for which ever team wins. Game is important to both teams.

Sorry..left out he was referring to UCLA.
