INteresting notes off of the depth chart:

Wow - true freshman Joe Miller 2nd string at NT. Supposedly Miller (6-3, 275) is VERY talented and it will be interesting to see how he fares.

Second wow, 6-2 true fresh Kartey Agbottah is the 2nd string FS after Roderick Cotton. I think we might see some Steve Warren out there behind Aarron Weathers although they have Higgs listed as #2.

At DE notice Ransom is #2 behind Hutcheson. Keep an eye on Mr. Ransom.

At LB, Holman is starting ahead of John Denver's boy Monroe.

4 top receivers are Quinn Muzzy Jackson and Nwigwe. Gotta think they will get Stickler in there some as well. Gawsh we are deep here, Branch will play as well!

Freshman Truman Spencer from Mesquite will be our starting punter...

Beau Davidson is the deep snapper and Eddrick Gilmore is backing him up.

Cobbs is returning kicks along with Muzzy.

Davidson is the starting TE backed up by Harmon. You just know that Chaney will play as well. Nice to have a little depth there.

Starting OLine looks stout. Venegas looks to be the 6th man. Odd to not see any JUCO's there. Can't wait to see Lineberry and May tandem at guard.

My boy Travis Thompson is behind Mendoza. Man Travis will be like a rabid dog on the sidelines. God help the first blue jersey he gets a hold of.

I know the sincere intent and concern here, but college smack board are getting a reputation among the home team coaching staffs as giving the enemy way more injury info that they should have to find out (somehow) on their own.

For instance, NT DT John Doe hurts his ankle 2 days before the Big Game, so we announce it on GMG.com and then the Blue Raiders coaches tell their players to zero in on MG DT John Doe's ankles and take him out.

The MT board on Rivals has a stipulation that no injuries will be discussed and I think we should be doing the same. Just my .02 on this subject.

I heard that PC and JT have weak arms and arm-tackling them might be a good idea. Shhh. Don't tell TMS rolleyes.gif

IF we don't lose any more starters for next year, we have 18 returning. That includes Mr. Lineberry.

On offense we lose Cobbs, May and possibly Lineberry.

I think Venegas is pushing May, Jamario is pushing Cobbs smile.gif and nobody pushing Lineberry-I hope he's back.

On defense we lose Miller, Hutchinson, Covington, Branch.

I don't know what to say about this group. Do we have any bodies left at DT to be pushing Miller? Hutchinson may not be starting by years end.

Don't we have like 9000 DB's on scholarship to be pushing Covington and Branch?

I would have felt a lot better about this season if the DT's had panned out like I had wished. It would have also been a good looking future.

Here's to Sky Pruitt, Monty Stevenson, Chris Miller and Joseph Miller helping us forget T.J. Raymond. Get well soon Issac Thomas!

With our depth at LB I say we invent the new 2-5-4 defense. Holman, Graves Monroe, Mendoza, and Thompson all on the field at once

Ive seen a similar defense used against Texas Tech, i think it was a 2-3-6, but i like the idea of a 2-5-4. All you have to do here is walk two lbs up like stand up d ends (much like the 3-4) and force those big slow o lineman to chase our lbs around the field trying to block them

Jeez we just can't catch a break at DT. First Thomas, then Raymond and now Doe. When will it end?

OK, I will break the code of silence that I requested earlier about NT injuries being reported on this forum but as far as DT Doe goes?

Here's a toe-nail sketch on MG defensive tackle John Doe's situation: It seems that John Doe has broken his toe.

OK, Coach MAC, you read it first on GMG.com! Now have your players stepping on Doe's toes all Saturday night long you Doe-toe hater. blink.gif

GMG!

Good to see that the Mean Green are ranked at the top in something.  Nationally, only Navy and Marshall will start fewer returning starters than us on saturday.  We currently will start 8 including only two on defense.  unsure.gif

Not to jump too far ahead here, but if ANYONE in the sunbelt conference has any hope of knocking us off, they better do it this year.

This team is going to be scary next year.

Tulsa uses a 3-3-5 defense. Two of those safeties come up and play like linebackers in running situations ... essentially a 3-5-3.

It was interesting to watch. They are listed in the ESPN bottom 10 though.

      New commit Creighton transfer post Brock Vice

      This is an interesting pickup for us. This guy doesn’t conform to the typical transfer profile that we should be focusing on: highly productive player at a low-major/D2 or a formerly productive player at high-major/mid-major who needs a change of scenery. Brock Vice has played ZERO real college basketball. But finding a player who can be productive for us at the center position is going to take some creativity. Need to replace Tylor Perry or Jason Edwards? Not fun, but there are LOTS of fast young men 5’9 or taller who can dribble and shoot that the marketplace has undervalued. Ross Hodge can take his pick. There just aren’t very many 18-24 year-old humans who are 6’9 or taller. And the marketplace places a very high price on those who are that tall AND possess any degree of athleticism or basketball skill. Which brings us back to Brock Vice, who redshirted on a VERY good Creighton team that finished 25-10 last season (second-place in the Big East). The starting center on that team was Ryan Kalkbrenner, a 7’1 monster who averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots a game. His backup also put up good numbers in very limited minutes. So Vice hasn’t been a productive college player yet, but atleast he has a good excuse. With both players in front of him on the depth chart eligible to come back to Creighton next season, Vice needs a change of scenery to get his oversized sneakers on the court. He’s 6-10. Can rebound AND shoot. Was an outstanding high school and AAU basketball player. And has enough meat on his bones and athleticism to have been a standout high school football player. This is exactly the kind of kid that Ross should be landing. We did not have a player like this guy on our team last season and it hurt us all year. Welcome to Denton!

      Why would a big brand like this invest so heavily in one school? College sports are so tribal and FedEx wants to serve everyone. Now I am LESS likely to use FedEx.

      Breanna Davis not coming back. She has landed at Abilene Christian. As far as I know, Jaaucklyn Moore is coming back.

      One of the people who went on Twitter to congratulate Brock, and say we've got a good one here....none other than Darrel Ray Dickey

      Oh boo hoo. Who cares?? 32 teams will become so beholden to sports money that they turn into crap institutions that turn out gobs of crap people. Oh wait that already happened. We will have sports teams. Support them in whatever way you can. North Texas saved my life. I'd sort of like for it to retain a soul.
