  1. Don't know if he's still there, but North Texas running back great Ja’quay Wilburn was the assistant director there after graduating with a degree in geriatric care. Great kid.
  2. Maybe. He was the 32nd highest ranked pro-style quarterback in the country when he was recruited and signed with TCU's Offensive Coordinator and quarterback guru Justin Fuente. He was drafted by the Yankees, made a sizable fortune in baseball, and has returned to college ball only for the love of the game.
  3. It may have been Chris Weinke at Florida State that was the oldest at 28. I couldn't find a record of anybody older that has scored.
  4. I believe Danny Wuerfffel is the oldest player, at 28, to ever score in Division 1 football. He won the Heisman his final season at Florida. Austin will be 29 at the start of next season. There have been several older players, but none that have scored.
  5. He's starting and he's only a sophomore. He has a lot of football yet to play. He was the backup last season and won the starting job. He was the backup this season and won the starting job. He obviously has dedication, and is finally getting needed repetitions. Please remember how long he has been out of football; his last season as a starter was 2010 at Argyle and North Texas was still playing in Fouts Field.
  6. Actually, as weird as it sounds, yes. The first time he scores next season he will become the oldest player to ever score in NCAA Division 1 football.
  7. Touchdown. UTSA wins 33 - 31
  8. UTSA in position to win in final minute.
  9. So true. James Mitchell in the 2004 Slip-n-Slide game at Arkansas State. A lead so secure that the team is horsing around pond sliding behind the benches.
  10. It's this exact kind of thinking that made us a perfect candidate to be knocked down to 1-AA;basing our future success against a decades old mark from one of our worst seasons when we'd already fired our coach. People didn't go to Fouts because of the experience. Fans were incredibly far from the action on the field. We have a new stadium where all the acceptable seating (All except upper wing) has been sold out multiple times by essentially our own fans. We're either planning for success or preparing for failure. I believe we have the leadership in place to raise the program to a new plateau. And yes, that does include expanding the stadium to attendance levels comparable to the future Big XII schools. .
  11. Kansas State and Oklahoma State are seeing their paychecks drastically reduced and their travel budgets drastically increased. Both recruit northern Texas heavily, have a large local alumni base, and have thousands of fans that travel for their teams. Non-conference games at North Texas would be a logical selection if Apogee had the capacity to host those kinds of crowds. Unfortunately, in recent seasons, those schools have bypassed the metroplex and all it's natural advantages to play games in San Antonio's Alamodome because it can accommodate their fan base.
  12. Sadly, I doubt the rain will affect attendance.
  13. Absolutely not comparable. They're a small school with an enrollment of 20,286 in rural Nowhere, Washington. North Texas is more than twice the size and in the metroplex, and we should certainly strive to outperform schools like that with attendance. WSU only holds on because of conference affiliations and the associated paycheck. Without those, they're Big Sky material. With the move to the American it's time for a giant leap forward for North Texas, and that begins with football. We need to be a natural choice to host P5 (Big XII) level schools. .
  14. But isn't La Tech rekindling it's conference rivalries with it's old Southland foes? Kernals, Beerkats and Jacks? ***Just funnin' with ya Tech fans. You're only gonna be in that crap for one season. Just keep that collar above the muck and there will be a big talon comin' down to rescue you.***
  15. All is well as long as it doesn't inhibit the ability to eventually expand Apogee seating to 50,000. We don't need it yet, but we will. It'll raise North Texas to Big XII capacity levels and create some separation from the Southland/Sunbelt/CUSA schools. The mega-universities are all expanding to the 100,000 seat capacity level and anything under 50,000 is considered kiddy pool.
  16. I think it will take six victories to qualify for a bowl game this year.
  17. Speaking of Ancient Relics of Fouts... The epitome of representing Mean Green Spirit and Pride... For decades there was a huge Green Eagle displayed on the side of Fouts facing Interstate 35. It is long, long gone, but ............................................... the head still exists... amongst my North Texas collectibles.
  18. True. Judging quarterbacks without all the information is something some fans just shouldn't do.
  19. My mama always told me not to judge a quarterback throwing on a timing route until I had thoroughly investigated where his receiver was supposed to be. Substitutes and backups are more prone to route mistakes. With all the injuries, dismissed starter, and position juggling early this season, these talented but inexperienced young receivers have certainly been missing their marks. When you hear "Damn it, he threw it right to the other team!", that is usually what has transpired. Now, if we still had all our original starters, including Darden and Bussey who still had eligibility remaining, things may be quite different.
  20. The Murphy Twins are our version of the Hanson Brothers. (Not the MMMBop ones, the Om! Bop! ones) Maybe not always the most disciplined play, but they are going to knock someone around.
  21. What's amazing about Fouts is that the structure in 2009 looked relatively unchanged from when the Spanish Conquistadors discovered it. Although overgrown with vegetation at the time, the indigenous people told legends about its ancient builders, probably the Clovis Peoples prior to the Younger Dryas impact event.
  22. Kansas 57 - Texas 56 Final-Overtime
  23. even not a spectacular season, could be a spectacular celebration. Win six and that's probably where we go. Let's secure it and make it a GreenOut!
  24. That's why it was deleted. ESPN said "End Of Fourth". I updated several times because that sounded weird, and looking for "Final". Finally ESPN showed 14:50 in fourth.
