There’s a possibility the game is rescheduled, relocated or cancelled if the weather doesn’t allow for travel. https://soonerswire.usatoday.com/2021/08/27/oklahoma-sooners-football-joe-castiglione-tulane-green-wave-hurricane-ida-new-orleans/ Add in the fact that the city is in Covid lockdown and the game likely may have been cancelled anyway. Last year, before the Delta variant, Tulane only let fans into one game, and only a few hundred students attended.

I think the measurement would be performance against their contemporaries, with the assumption that modern defensive backs have the same advancements. So, we'll have to watch this season in order to make that evaluation. Would somebody please revisit this thread after the season so that we can have a fair comparison. I am curious what the opinions will be then, and how they will differ from now.

Is Littrell's receiver recruiting so good that the players with eligibility remaining this year (including Darden and Bussey) are comparable to an all star receiving corps from the preceding 20 years? I hope so, but that's a pretty lofty speculation.

Very sad to hear this news. My Bride and I sat and visited with Erven at his summer basketball tournament in southern Dallas many years ago. He reiterated how much he loved the people that he'd met during his time, and his brother's time, at North Texas. He was a very nice person and I am proud to say that he was my friend.

I hope our athletic department decides to use North Texas uniforms, with North Texas' colors (Green and White), and current North Texas logos. We didn't see current uniforms at a single home game last year, several road games wore played in 'off' colors, and even the bowl game was played in old throwback uniforms. It's no wonder that we have an identity issue.

At the very least, Austin, Milley, and Blinken should be forced to resign. This may not all be their fault, but they are the chosen front people to represent the new Rainbows, Lollipops, and Unicorns diplomacy implemented by the puppeteers that pull the strings for this administration.

Thank you for posting this. It is inspirational to see how a young man strives to not only overcome such a tragic incident, but to excel in so many ways.

Those are some tough teams to beat in recruiting. https://247sports.com/Recruitment/Shawn-Jones-140183/RecruitInterests/

Matthew is an incredibly talented sports writer. I am sorry to hear that he is leaving, but I wish him only the best with his future endeavors with LSU. He's certainly put his heart and soul into his North Texas coverage. There's no doubt he'll always be green and white in his heart, and I look forward to his future contributions when he returns.

Franks and Beans! Franks and Beans! .

I don't know if it'll ever get him a pro football gig, but Raveon is one tough workout monster. Turn your volume to LOUD before starting video. I left the video running for hours just to give him the Sisyphus treatment.

https://247sports.com/Player/Ron-Tatum-46036746/high-school-186708/ Originally a 4 star Army All-American from Oklahoma City. Who knows? He could be looking to play closer to home, and there could also be another school, probably a lower rung P5, tampering with his commitment to UTSA. UTSA will surely let him out of his NLI. Let's see where he goes, and why he goes there.

Heartland College Sports is contending that Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State may be "locked arms" as a package deal. They either go to the Pac 12 together, or together they rebuild the Big 12 Conference as best possible. Something that I thought odd was that those three, and the existing Pac 12 schools, are supposedly more interested in adding Houston than Baylor or TCU as the 16th Pac team. I don't put much faith in any of these editorials having real inside information but I did see this as an interesting scenario. Would Arizona, ASU, Colorado, and Utah want to be paired with these schools in an eastern division and lose many of their USC/UCLA ties? Of course this all falls apart if the BIG preemptively grabs USC and UCLA...but that's another story.

I guess I am one of the few that actually enjoys CUSA-West. I'd like to add a couple, possibly Arkansas State, Louisiana, and Texas State whenever Larry Teis dies, but I enjoy playing our current rivals.

Mandy McManly?

No, you're standing under an oak tree and acorns frequently drop.

Must be true, I saw it on the internet.

It's not true. Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina have a voting block pact to keep any of their in-state rivals from joining the SEC. There may be a lot, a whole lot of ESPN money being offered, but it's never going to be enough to break that pact. Their alumni will never let them sacrifice their "clear supremacy" for an increased paycheck. A&M had no such alliance so they were powerless to keep out Texas. The only consolation for the Aggies is that the SEC will be four divisions of four teams, with Texas paired with Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. A&M will likely be pared with LSU, one of the two Mississippi schools, and one of the two Alabama schools in it's SEC quad.

I'm just goofing with everyone. I have been just about everywhere and seen just about everything in New Mexico, except the ice cave, so I still have at least one reason to go back.

First, OSU (neither Ohio St, Oklahoma St, or Oregon St) is going to be moving to CUSA. For what results from this recent upheaval we'll have to wait and see, as a lot depends on how quickly the Big 12 leftovers find new homes, if they can. They're all trying to immediately find P4 homes. If the leftovers can't relocate on the same schedule as UT & OU, then they'll be forced to backfill the Big 12 with G5 schools like the Big East did. Grab your popcorn as it'll be fun to watch. We're not a candidate for the Big 12, and we won't have a dog in this fight until the end when potentially more regionally based alignments are being formed amongst the non-P4 crowd. It's all good. We're well prepared, and we have the right people steering the ship.

Could happen... Although there is relatively no chance of the Big 12 taking both, it's almost certain that they will add either SMU or Houston. But, then again, the consensus of all the knowledgeable pundits on the AAC message board is that the remaining Big 12 teams are going to quickly come running to the safety of the American Athletic Conference. That too could happen... but probably won't.

That's great. It starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, and aeroplanes, and Lenny Bruce is not afraid. All kidding aside, we'll need to take care of our own business, munch some popcorn, evaluate the situations, and explore potential possibilities. The remaining Big 12 is about to have their media contract decimated, and that's regardless of whichever schools they backfill with. The AAC is going to have it's large, at least by G5 standards, ESPN contract terminated. The conference has relatively little value now that already UConn, and potentially Cincy, UCF, Memphis, and Houston are departing. I am so happy we have Wren and I trust him to make the best decisions.
