I was told Tony was 1 of 20 college players that got invited.

The "star" system was created and now managed by a group of people who never stepped on a college football field and most on a high school field. One of the best QB's I have ever seen was rated 3 star...barely and NO ONE in Texas except UNT offered him. He is now at Michigan and will be the heir to Denard. Star system is for boosters to measure the success of the football team. Wins are the way the coaches measure the success of a football team.

If McCarney and his staff are as good as Corky Nelson was in identifying and developing "under the radar" talent, then we are going to be much better off than we've been in a long time. I really don't give a damn about the star system. It doesn't rate what is really important....which is a player's gut desire to get better every year.

To me, that's sort of a yes and no. We aren't winning many recruiting battles thus far. We had about five or six three-star recruits last year and none so far this year. Yet, I think that this staff can develop the talent that we are getting far in excess of those in the last ten years. And, who knows? Maybe this 'under the radar' talent is actually better than the so-called experts predict. It carried TCU for several years. So, it's important to get better talent than your competitors but it's more important to develop what you do get.

This is good stuff... I think they are taking the best players available and committing to UNT. I am starting to think that along with a good coaching staff at UNT comes molding your plan of attack to what your strengths are... I am gonna bet that with O line obviously a priority, we might actually have a healthy QB for more games...and have a running game that can compete. Against those bigger programs, depth and wearing down is what causes the smaller programs to wilt if you happen to have some sort of a miracle lead... depth in the o-line might help tremendously with the potential for an upset... obviously we need the same sort of depth up front on the d-line... we'll see... I bet with this type of depth, Chico can do some pretty decent things too... what have we bitched about for the past 8 years, we need to recruit size and speed...well, the size is there...maybe not "top end" type of commits, but this is size and hopefully coachable kids with motivation/work ethic. I trust in DMAC until it is proven we shouldn't at this point. last season bought some serious faith equity... Love the size.

I wonder if maybe they see a player who projects at DT in one of these 4 o line commits all at least 6'5 260+. Given their height, probably not but maybe one of these big bodies can also play DT, that would be great.

The Periodic Table of Elements couldn't have chemistry with Tom.

He was an even better Sheriff. Did you see his staff? It's a wonder his county didn't burn down daily.

I blame the Hip-Hop.

Texas VS Texas A&M ≠ Auburn VS GA Tech. Texas VS Texas A&M ~ Auburn VS Alabama. Could you imagine Auburn VS Alabama going away? Believe it or not, Texas VS Texas A&M is probably bigger than Texas VS Oklahoma... and there is not a school in the SEC that Aggie fans would rather beat more than Texas. That will never, ever change because you have never seen "traditions" before until you've seen the Aggies.

Give that guy a RS and a weightroom and he could very well turn out to be a real monster for us. Looks to have a good motor on him, and he certainly looks impressive on the field as a Junior. Mac & Co. sure are stacking the OL for the future.

I am more interested in % of starts from 2011 returning.

At that time was alumni advisor for the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. As a spirit project the fraternity had volunteered to paint Fouts Field...they painted the walls on the inside plus the steps and the railing.It was the first time it had ever been painted. Anyway, we had the radio on through the stadium speaker system as we painted the stadium (it was the same afternoon as the Tennessee game). We thought Mercer was going to have a heart attack on the radio at the end of the game. When the team got home they thought we had painted the stadium to commemorate the victory vs. the Vols.

Should it be the place of the NCAA to govern over something of this nature? It almost sounds like we're asking the NCAA to police something that really does not have very much to do with college athletics other than a college coach having access to a university's facilities. What if none of the abuses took place on university property and the only link between Sandusky and Penn State was a coach of of the football program during the time the sexual abuse took place -- should the NCAA be involved then? Punish those responsible for the cover up; they didn't follow the law by not reporting the abuses to the authorities. I don't see how or why the NCAA should ever be involved in something like this unless it directly involves a university's student athletes.

Anyone else see this in the pictures about the boards? Only two games at Fouts that season? Wow! Sept 4 - UTA @ Texas Stadium Sept 13 - Drake @ Des Moines, IA Sept 20 - San Diego State @ San Diego, CA Sept 27 - Oklahoma State @ Stillwater, OK Oct 4 - Memphis State @ Memphis, TN Oct 11 - Houston @ Texas Stadium Oct 18 - Mississippi State @ Starkville, MS Oct 25 - Tennessee @ Knoxville, TN Nov 8 - Cal Poly Pomona @ Denton, TX - Fouts! Nov 15 - New Mexico State @ Las Cruces, NM Nov 29 - West Texas State @ Denton, TX - Fouts! Hayden Fry, coach Record: 7-4...7-4 with only two real home games...in November!

Ironically I found one of those exact same schedule cards in a desk I bought at the UNT surplus center. It is now my bookmark

welcome to the Mean Green nation!!

Nice article; they don't stomp on us in print because they don't have to.

Might be my favorite signee thus far. Keep the beef coming, DMac.

I agree. Wichita Falls produces some great talent every year. I'm glad coach Mac is finding guys like this up there.

As an old Wichita Falls boy, it really makes me feel good to see coach Mac and his assistants working that area. There is some great football tradition at the Old High School as well, but Rider High is obviously a place to find some big time talent.

This is 21 minutes of impressiveness http://www.hudl.com/athlete/90478/harrison-sorge

No, but the Osborne Brothers could have been playing Rocky Top. You know, Rock Top Tennesseeeeee................................

Ok, who has a copy of the radio broadcast of this? Any video?

It would be interesting to see what percentage coverage sacks were of total sacks. My guess would be less than 10 percent. Far less.

It's a chicken vs egg argument. We haven't seen any "coverage sacks" lately either.

Did any of the musicians play the banjo theme song to the movie "Deliverance" while our guys were in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee that afternoon kickin' butt, Phil? GMG!

I listened to parts of the game while attending a bluegrass festival in McKinney.

I think everyone who expects TCU to sink in the Big XII are letting their emotions get the best of them. TCU has fielded nationally competitive teams while recruiting to the MWC and CUSA. They've had to turn RB's into dominant DE's (1st round NFL pick DE's). They've consistently done "more with less" as opposed to having "#1" recruiting classes and doing...well, you know. What do you think Patterson and company can do now with Big XII on their patch? Texas would not have beaten Wisconsin two years ago. No longer will UT, Tech, OU or OSU be able to say "TCU can't play for national titles." now TCU can tell kids "If we run the table, we're in."

About the same amount of time that we have not had an impact pass rusher. Coincidence? I think not.

Daughter and I are already signed up. Last year was a blast, Coach Mac is a hoot! Been to every women's clinic since DD started 'em up in the old days as football 101. I think this is the eighth year. GMG!

A 4th year he should have never been given. But I digress...

Rent or Own??

So you girls like to party!?

Try around 3-5.

But the thing I want to point out is that none of the abuses involved a student athlete of the Penn State Athletics program. Yes, school athletic facilities were at Sandusky's disposal and administrators at various levels turned a blind eye including Athletic administrators, but still no student athletes were involved. In the case dealing with the Baylor basketball murder it involved a student athlete, so I feel the NCAA was right to step in and levy penalties. Since some of you are out for blood, what kind of penalty should be levied against Penn State? Should it be just the football program or should the women's volleyball team also be punished?

Mizzou is the biggest winner because they were marginalized in the Big 12. SEC gives them equal fuding and many great television opportunities that were not available in the Big 12. TCU also get very lucky. They won't mind playing second fiddle to Texas and OU, and being pounded by them annually. They're the kid that is just happy to be allowed in the crowd.

That was cold. Just because they are in elementary reading tutorials doesn't mean they are anywhere close to as low the intellect of Philly fans.
