It's 10AM eastern 9AM Central but for some reason the guy in charge of graphics at Fox has it as 9AM EST on the graphics during the talking head segments.

Huh.  Back in the '90's, a band I was in did a photo shot on that bridge.  We always called it "Old Alton Bridge."  Never heard rumors about this other stuff.

Which band?

[Can Torrey be our Swiss Army Knife or gadget back?]

Have you seen Adaway run? And Johnson is built like a Sherman tank.  Torrey is an undersized scat back. 

I have. Oscar reminds me a bit of Adrian Peterson. He is without a doubt the starter.

However, you stated you knew TWO guys lower on the depth chart than Torrey that are better than him and that its not even close. You've named one: Johnson and said he is built like a Sherman tank. Im not sure that qualifies as making one "better" but ok.

So who is your second, lower on the depth chart, not even close, guy?

Seth has to know playing Torrey isnt the smartest of moves, I can name two guys lower on the depth chart than Torrey who are better than him, and its not even close. 

Okay, name them - and then explain why it is not even close.

I weirdly feel good about this year. Seth has his best coaching staff since he’s been here. Mike Bloesch at OL, Phil Bennett at DC( heard nothing but good things so far) and himself, a proven Power 5 OC.   He’s never had a decent OL coach and a decent DC since his tenure began. Hopefully this is the year.
 

Last year after facing HBU, I knew the defense was garbage. I’m thinking we take a step forward this year and go 7-6.  Who the hell knows though, I might just have my mean green glasses on.

I like the optimism but something that alarms me, aside from not having a QB, is: Of our 113 man roster, 68 of them are Sophomores or younger.

Rare is it that a Freshman, RS Freshman or Sophomore contributes in a meaningful way. (Mason, Jamario, etc being exceptions.) That leaves us with 45 guys who have had meaningful time in the program. (9 of those 45 chose to take the extra year and come back.)

My hope is someone really rises to the top in fall camp for the QB spot. If whoever that is can be at least as good as D. Thompson circa 2013 we may go .500 this season. If not...

Also, what the hell happened that this years senior class is so small?

[Updated: DRC -- UNT finalizes extensions with McCasland, Mitchell (buyout info for McCasland)]

McCasland is the best coach at this university right now, and one of the best in athletics history. Of course Odus Mitchell, Hayden Fry, Bill Blakely, Jimmy Gales and you could say John Hedlund for soccer.

 

You could say John Hedlund for soccer? (He's still here ya know?)

Hedlund is head and shoulders above anyone, in any sport, that has coached at North Texas, at any time. All the dude does is win.  Starts program from scratch - has winning seasons for next 26 years straight. 16 Conference Championships - 8 Runner Up.- 7 NCAA appearances.

[Nice video of Jaelon Darden highlights.]

Im confident he'll be playing on Sundays. I also think he breaks our draft drought. Next man up #9 Mr. Simpson. He showed a few flashes this season.

[Has the Corona Virus infected anyone you know?]

Yes.

My 34 year old neighbor tested positive. Neither her husband nor two children did. She fully recovered and was never hospitalized.

 

 

[UNT-NFL Question]

Cyril Lemon played two seasons with the Saints and is now a coach at Marble Falls. 

Antonio Johnson made the squad at NOLA but was cut and then signed by the Broncos to their practice squad. I believe he lasted one season on there.

Both were FA.

Agree.  I’m thinking if the coaches had a do over at the point we’re down 13-0 and facing 4th and 1 from our own 45 they would feed the guy who would end up with 167 yards on the day rather than attempt a slant.  That was the nail in the coffin call of the game to me.

Heck, maybe even *gasp*, put the QB under center.

True.
Let me tell you a story...
We were getting new windows in our house (still had the original builder grade, single pane windows throughout, so it was time to upgrade).
We called out several different recommended companies, and all of them showed us the same type of tests with their windows that were all virtually the same.   Each of these companies kept talking bad about a different company, always the same one... like they were afraid of them.
So, we called that company.  They came in, did the same tests with the same products but came in $1000's less than the other companies.  The salesman who came, was very matter-of-fact.  He knew he had the right product at the best price for us.  He wasnt worried about what anyone else said about his company.  We signed on with them that day.

I doubt Seth & Co are worried about what Skip or Sonny's crews are saying about us, because they know what they have to offer.

Please feel free to DM me with the name of that company. 1956 Ranch with rice paper windows much like your originals.
