  1. Carthel is employed. Who else? I'm curious who you have in mind.
  2. Who are you going to get?
  3. PSA: The www.riderville.com website has a 25% Off Boxing Day sale going on now until 1/10/2021. Roughriders Stuff
  4. This is a very big deal for the program. Shows that it can be done at UNT.
  5. I've had several Fords, and they have been good trucks. Two best trucks I have owned were a 2005 Tundra (had 195K on it when a knucklehead with no insurance ran into me on Mayhill Rd. and totaled it.) and a 2011 F150 which I still drive and is about to click over 100K. Keep the oil changed in any model truck and you should be good to go for a long time. One thing I won't do, as some in the thread have mentioned, is buy another truck that is too long to fit in my garage. The F150's with crew cab and the 6 foot bed is the biggest truck I can get in the garage and close the door. I just carry my lunch in it usually, so don't need anything bigger/with more capacity.
  6. Welcome! You're going to love this kid. Good luck to the Riders. A lot of GMG folks will be watching Rider games this year.
  7. You can't get paid that much and not deliver chances at the conference title and runs at the playoff. And you can't make stubborn, stupid in-game decisions that get you beat regularly. "Texas played 27 games decided by one-score margins under Herman and went 14-13 in those games. No power 5 program played more one-score games during this four-year run. Sixteen of those games were against unranked opponents. The Longhorns were a top-25 team going into 19 of these games and went 10-9. A ranked Texas team lost to an unranked opponent seven times under Herman. Nobody has done this more in the past four years. Herman never lost a game at Texas by 20 or more points, but he only won three Big 12 games by more than 20." That's not going to get it done for $X million per year. OU game "Eyes" "lonely Sam" fiasco, and non-reaction. (Impossible to overstate how much this pissed off the donors. This was the nail in the coffin, IMO.) Legacies (Brockermeyers) going to rival programs. Players quitting during a game and being welcomed back. Boneheaded, stubborn 4th quarter in-game decisions. "Turtle Tom"... 1-4 vs OU 1-3 vs TCU 2-2 vs OK Lite 2-2 vs Iowa State 0-2 vs Maryland Recruiting was going badly and becoming a disaster. He had to go, and the BMD's had their mind made up and were going to make it happen after the OU game stuff, IMO.
  8. Much more backstory to his firing than his bowl record and W-L.
  9. Would be nice to be able to see results without the paywall. Or at least a brief recap.
  10. I thought UNT wanted to win championships?
  11. I agree with him.
  12. Two weeks to flatten the curve. I did read today that the game is sold out. That's a 20k stadium, so I'm wondering if they limited sales to keep everyone "safe" in the stadium.
  13. AZ's AD is responsible for their self-beclownment with the Sumlin hire.
  14. Great class. I feel like most of the pieces are in place for UNT to consistently bring in these types of classes. UNT should dominate CUSA in recruiting. UNT should compete for championships and reach a bowl every year. Again, this is a great class, and next step is to develop it and work on bringing in the next one.
  15. Article is worth it just to read about Tarheels' Storm Duck. Coolest name in the whole piece.
  16. At this point in his life, he's a punk. Hope he gets himself together.
  17. Interesting...
  18. A little bit surprising to me. Hopson hasn't had a losing season at USM until this godforsaken year. This will be their 5th head coach in the last 10 years. I talked to a USM booster a couple years ago about their program, and he definitely gave me the feeling that the USM BMD's are not a patient lot. I just don't know how you don't chalk this year up to an aberration and give the staff a bit of a pass though.
  19. Not a lawyer, but I think for the CARES act to apply, some conditions have to be met: https://guides.sll.texas.gov/covid-19/eviction#s-lg-box-wrapper-29342253 Good luck to your mom.
  20. ...or Phoenix, Arizona?
