I may be mistaken, but didn't DD wear a different hat on National TV against NMSU, or did I dream that?

Well, at least FFR got my point. The "great job by our staff" comment is relating to not filling all available scholarships, and then not spending the time on one of our top recruits to really gauge his committment. If they only want to sign 18 kids, fine, but they better make sure they are going to stick. My number one problem is signing a small class and losing the top two rated recruits even before two-a-days begin.

Appropriate name for the first time poster.

My point in TTech not being a good example is that they "signed" 34, lost 11, so they have a class of 23 arriving for Fall practice. North Texas signed 18 and lost their two highest rated players for a whopping total of 16 players, when NT could have signed a full allotment. As others have noted, the margin for error at TTech is much smaller than North Texas. I am glad to have the young men that NT signed playing in Denton, but I have to question our coaching staff for not filling all scholarships available.

I know it happens everywhere and is not just a problem of North Texas, but I do have a problem when two of our highest rated recruits in a class where we didn't even sign all the scholarships we had to offer are gone before fall practice begins. Tech isn't a good example. They "signed" 34 knowing the max is 25, so at least 9 were going elsewhere. At least they still have a relatively full class. Of course I expected this reply from e-bone after I questioned one of his posts in another thread. Touche`

Just curious what your background is/was. Wasn't trying to put you on the defensive. If I'm stating facts then I expect to get that, not with opinion.

Any news?

Think we would have invested all that time recruiting him if we didn't think his heart was in it? That time could have been better spent recruiting someone that wants to play.

This recruiting class has turned into a joke. Our highest rated recruit, Trent Stanley, leaves after the spring because he wasn't quite up to advanced billilng, Eddrick Gilmore, one of our top recruits from last year, can't make the grades and now Tim Patton, our highest rated recruit this year, backs out of of his LOI. Great job by our staff. BTW, doesn't NT have to release Patton from his LOI?

Other than having "people tell me when they experimented with steriods...." what are your references or your educational background to support your views?

Well, I guess Barry Sanders was overrated also. Who knew?

If last year is any indication of opening up the playbook, then we need to either close it or go to the library and check out another copy.

Would they consider having Carlson add some weight and moving him to Tackle?

That video has been out for two years.

This cracked me up.

Laird is hitting .350+ and has always been better than Barajas.

I just asked because, like FFR, I find it interesting that Landis had elevated testosterone levels, whether real or synthetic, in his system one day and then didn't the next. That doesn't add up. All Landis said was that he would prove he is innocent. Guess we ought to give him that chance. Bonds is a sad individual.

Has Landis been proven to be lying?

The best move would be to get rid of Showalter. As stated earlier in this thread, he plays his favorites, Barajas, over more deserving players, Laird and has never develop young players very well.

Leave it to this board to criticize someone for leaving somebody off of their list.

Not allowing sign in. Either the league # or password is wrong.
