NT03 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) UNT appears to have lost Perry to TechWord is UNT target Chris Perry, a defensive lineman who spent last season at Miami, is headed to Texas Tech. Perry's former high school coach Hal Wasson told me earlier today that Perry was in Lubbock over the weekend and also visited UNT.Perry would have been a nice get for UNT, which has been a little thin in terms of defensive line recruits in recent years.

NT03 Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Vito didn't say Wasson said it was certain , he just visited. I guess maybe Brett got that vibe from Wasson ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Orleans bowl, or a Jan. 1 bowl? I will be shocked if this guy comes to play here. Edited January 21, 2008 by GoMeanGreen1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Crazy Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Someone needs to tell this guy that Lubbock isn't that close to home either and at that now he'll be far away from home and not have anything to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foutsrouts Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've been there several times over the years, and it's MUCH better than it was 20 years or so ago. But the bottom line is, that place still sux in a major way. Probably the worst 100k plus place to live in the state IMO. At least Waco is only 100 miles from both DFW and Austin.

greenminer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wasn't there a transfer from USC last year saying he wanted to be "closer to home", only he ended up going to Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTPhiKap99 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wasn't there a transfer from USC last year saying he wanted to be "closer to home", only he ended up going to Florida?Yep Emmanuel Moody from Coppell but I think his biggest thing was playing time not really location. I really can't figure out why he choose Florida if he as afraid of the competition at USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GrayEagleOne Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Still not signing day. Let's piss off TTech again.I hate to be a wet blanket but he is a transfer, not a recruit. I lived in Littlefield for a couple of years back in the 60s. To me, Lubbock was like an oasis in the desert. I wouldn't live there, especially during the dust storms in the spring, but it's not as bad as I would think Laredo would be. It's also right in the heart of fishing country; it's 300 miles in any direction. And, it is reachable in less than a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle1855 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 it was a long shot to begin with. no big deal. we didn't lose anything. yeah, it would have been nice, but I can't blame a guy for taking a Big 12 team over a 2-10 Sun Belt team.

ShopMeanGreen Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have lived in Lubbock for the past 11 years. It's not my first choice for prime living conditions but it's not bad either. You can say what you want about Lubbock but I would think the most important part of playing football at Tech is FOOTBALL AT TECH. The atmosphere is great. The fans and entire community is very supportive, the game day atmosphere is very energetic and the local press falls all over them. There is truely not much else out here but when a 200K poulation community puts 45-50K peole in the stands what can you say negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
