Senior running back DeAndre Torrey entered the media room on Nov. 27 out of breath with a shirt in his hand that read “Bowl Bound” across the front.  

The Mississippi-raised running back was elated, as his 110 yards and three touchdowns versus No. 22 the University of Texas-San Antonio was instrumental in leading North Texas to its sixth win of the season. The game was Torrey’s last in Denton. 

“It’s amazing, we wouldn’t want it any other way,” Torrey said after the upset win. “I know UTSA nearly lost [their] past two games, but we were really hoping they’d win so we’d be the ones that spoiled their season.”

Since his arrival, Torrey has been a driving force for the Mean Green, never playing less than nine games in a season while steadily making his way up North Texas’ offensive leaderboards. In his final season, Torrey had a chance to make history, and he did that against the University of Texas-El Paso.

Torrey joined the 3,000 rushing yard club in his career with 61-yards versus UTEP and broke the 1,000 yard mark for the season versus Florida International University the following week. 

In four seasons, Torrey lies in the top-20 for North Texas in rushing yards (12th, 3,120), touchdowns (7th, 27) and all-purpose yards (9th, 3,324).

I like this paragraph:

Quote

Following the game, Torrey quote tweeted a video of his third touchdown versus UTSA, where he was hit behind the line of scrimmage, but was able to power and juke his way around Roadrunner defenders for a 19-yard touchdown. It was akin to UNT’s season as a whole – hopeless at the start, yet ending in elation.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
