I can hook you up.

Legitimate ones, sure. Internet/YouTube fame whores, not so much.

Yeah, he's a knucklehead, and those are good points. I don't condone the guy's behavior at all. At all. I just am really tired of the entire "gotcha" culture that has been fostered by the internet and cell phones, and "concerned citizens". But yeah--he played himself.

Thank goodness someone had the balls to film this and broadcast it to the entire world--instead of maybe talking to him and pointing out that his behavior is unnecessary, cruel, and ineffective--so someone can get their pound of flesh from this kid, and hopefully mark his life and career before it starts. Bravo to you, sir or madam.

Cade needs a redshirt year to develop. The job is Fine's to lose, IMO.

TL;DR most of it. The applicable parts are--in my opinion--the phrases "in the judgement of a moderator or administrator", and "there will be no warning...", etc. I've had a couple of threads shut down that I felt were worthy of debate, and was interested in the opinions of others regarding them, but alas...and you know what? Harry's board, Harry's rules, and I have absolutely no issues with that. So, better to keep politics or opinion out of here, in my case.

KZEW...brings back a lot of memories of summertime. I remember the Zoo's "10th Anniversary" concert. For $3.98, I got to see Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, fhe Fixx, and Eddie Money.

What the hell kind of grammar are you throwing out around here, Harry?

Was out in Abilene this weekend. ACU is serious.

Great read. Thanks for the info and work!

Bumping this because of new thread.

He's from the Bob Stoops mold, with a bit smoother edges.

No way in hell is it excessive, IMO. Can't have too many OL/DL players--which UNT has had major difficulty recruiting in the past.

Good luck to the young man.

Agree.

I know she was popular with Star Wars folks, and she wrote some funny books and probably did other stuff I'm missing, but I never thought Fisher was that big of a celebrity. No offense to her or her fans--just observing.

And as usual, guns are immediately the scapegoat in the article. Have to address the factors causing folks to want to harm others. But it doesn't fit the narrative, of course.

Did you close your eyes and just go with it?

I went with Harrell as well, although I wish I could have picked a few others as co-winners, including some defensive folks. I think the progress made with the QB position this year was night and day improvement, though. Especially impressed with the success UNT had with a true frosh at QB. Impressive.

Interesting. I'm sure there are a lot of wrinkles thrown in now that help complicate things for the defenses trying to stop the option. I'm in 100% agreement with the bolded part above. Make the QB uncomfortable and force him into mistakes/shellshock.

I always get a kick out of folks that say a power running team can't score a lot of points, or come back quickly, or isn't exciting, or whatever excuse is handy at the moment. It's nonsense. Great write up and insight. When I played in HS, we faced lots of option teams. Some ran the wishbone, and we also faced teams (we were one also) who ran a variation of the Houston Veer. The formula was always the same against the option: LB's scrape and fill and tackle the dive back. DE tackles the QB and forces the pitch/forces QB inside. CB/S takes out the pitch man. You want the QB to pitch if possible to encourage turnovers. The headaches come when folks forget or hesitate in their assignment, or take on someone else's assignment.

Me either. And it sucks.
