[Any free agent signings?]

This is what I pulled from the 257 draft selections in the 2024 draft:  

• G5 (counting UCONN) had 19 draft picks 
• All non P5/G5 conferences had 15 draft picks 
• P5 (including Notre Dame) had 223 draft picks

I didn't think we'd be that low and that level with non-FBS conferences.

I stand by Metzler's in Denton. Great food, reasonably priced and long time supporters of UNT.

That's my pick as well, and I do love 407 BBQ.

You do know we had a running back with that name (in 1987)

In fact he scored our only TD in the playoff loss to NLU.

Did not know that Stan Humphries and Jackie Harris played for ULM or that they used to be Northeast Louisiana, that's pretty cool

[Odd: New Punter and Kicker - Ford]

Gamble Ford  SC

At the Kohl’s National Scholarship Camp, Ford snapped very well throughout the entire weekend. He was consistently around the target and finished with an average snap time of .78 seconds. Ford has a very smooth snapping motion. Continuing to accelerate his hands through his snapping motion, he will see his snapping continue to improve.

I'll be up there the whole weekend, any Tulsa suggestions? I've only been for the Chili Bowl race in January

[I Seem to Bring This Up Every Year]

1 hour ago, GMG_Dallas said:

Seems like an obvious solution but i don't think you can make that change during the season. We're stuck for the immediate future. Same with big athletic TEs who don't fit what they want to do on offense. Many of these kids played multiple positions in HS or would probably be willing to learn a new position if it means getting playing time. Let's not let their size and athleticism go to waste.

JJ Watt was a TE moved to DE who thrived in a 3 man front. That's setting the bar pretty high, but we definitely need good athletes at these positions.  I want to say West Wilson played TE/DE in HS? 

[I Seem to Bring This Up Every Year]

This reminds me, I swear on the sidelines I see Larry Moore (6'6" 275) switch to #97, but I don't pay attention long enough to see if he goes in as a DL or as a TE/6th OL. 

 

Anyone else notice this or do I need new glasses?

Enoch Jackson no longer shows on the roster. Last game played is Cal so he must have been one of the dismissals prior to playing FIU.

I really thought he'd be a huge part of the new 3 man front so definitely surprised here.

[2023 Football Roster Updates]

I figure these additions have been on the roster for a while, but I had not updated in a while. According to the stats none of these guys had playing time. Sucks to lose Brown, but I wonder if it's injury or playing time related.

Rogers will start and the UNT offense will go back to being run-driven, with Earle coming in as a change of pace running option. Defense will give up some big plays and long but quick scoring drives, but also continue to force turnovers with 2 takeaways. 

This will be a long and frustrating game. Smoke Harris will have 200+ yards, but in the end we will prevail. 

 

[***OFFICIAL UNT VS FIU In-Game Discussion***]

I'm so lucky to be paying for Spectrum and ESPN +  so that I can't watch any of the normal programming and get to watch this crap show where I never know for sure what the down and distance are, how much time is left, how many timeouts are left. Constantly calling out the wrong players. Bad camera angles. 

I'm such a lucky guy.
