There were a couple of good news tidbits to come out of today's Dan McCarney press conference. Here goes:

– The big news that came out of left field is that backup quarterback Brent Osborn is going to graduate this year and will not be back next season. Osborn never played much at UNT, but he is the Mean Green's No. 2 guy with Andrew McNulty spending the year as a redshirt. To me this is just another sign that Brock Berglund is going to make a run at the starting job next year.

I'd ride the year out for the free grad school.

Why when he could go to grad school at a FCS school on scholarship (I don't think he would have a chance to start at a BCS school), get a chance to start, and still be in a grad program?

He doesn't have to sit a year, no matter where he goes.

So he played two years of JUCO, played in a couple of games in 2011, some pointed out that he played in a couple of games this year. How does he have any eligibility left?

Don't forget that Derik Thompson already has his degree and could do the same thing if he decides that he is not going to be the starter next year OR if he decides that it is just time to get on with the rest of his life. We could be losing both our quarterbacks with playing experience before the start of next year. Wouldn't THAT be interesting?

I think Derek likes it here and I believe he has already started graduate school so I'm hoping he will stay but thanks for throwing a new monkey wrench into this Huff lol.

No he can't because he has already started grad school here at UNT. He can't say another school has his grad program and UNT doesn't.

He wasn't given that option.

He wasn't given that option.

Are you saying that he was not going on his free will, but rather thrown out?

How is a guy who can't beat out Derek Thompson going to go to another FBS program and play for a year?

I guess he could get lucky and find the perfect situation at somewhere like UTSA, but serious PT at the FBS level might be difficult to find considering all the splinters he has collected around here the last couple of years. Then again, I guess it's possible that we have not given him a fair chance to show what he can do in a game situation. Either way, I hope it works out.

Well, if he doesn't play again he can be consoled in the fact that he had a career passing rating of 144.14 in the FBS. That may be our highest of anyone who has had more than 20 passing attempts.

Are you implying that he's a gamer?

That is exactly what I'm saying.
