Is ESPN360.com a pay site?

Nope. Riley is Felix Jones. Or atleast he gets hurt as much as him.

Another former UNT beat writer, Richard Durrett, is also on ESPNDallas. ESPN is basically cherry-picking all the best sportswriters from newspapers all over the country. If you look at the ESPNDallas staff writers, almost all of them used to work at The Dallas Morning News. This could be the final nail in the coffin of the DMN as the sports section is one of the most profitable sections of the paper.

UNT alum and former Mean Green beat writer Tim MacMahon will be covering the Cowboys and Mavericks for ESPNDallas.com. Congrats to Tim (who some crazy people on here believe was forced out of the DRC by RV several years ago, when in fact, he received a promotion to the DMN). With newspapers dying, ESPNDallas represents a huge opportunity and great career move for Tim. It will be great to see UNT represented on the World Wide Leader. Here is a link to Tim's first column. The more comments his columns generate the better. http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/columns/story?id=4505649

That particular quote from Animal House will always draw someone offsides. How can you not have seen Animal House?

Watching Boise State/Fresno and this Boise RB Jeremy Avery runs like he is the reincarnation of freshman Jamario. Looks just like him running the ball . Think Jamario could have bought a fake social security number and is taking a do-over on his college football career?

Think a faster, quicker version of Ja'Mel Branch.

Dude is walking away from a full college scholarship to join the army? Why not wait until you graduate then join up? The army's biggest selling point to recruits is "hey, we'll help you pay for your college education." Barrett already had that taken care of. Doesn't make any sense.

We're doing pretty good compared vs. the Sun Belt. Poor vs. other Texas schools. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_co...l-tell-you.html

Uh...actually people with strong immune systems are most at-risk. This virus kills via a cytokine storm (overreaction of the body's immune system) which explains its unusually severe nature and the concentrated age profile of its victims. The strong immune systems of young adults ravage the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults cause fewer deaths. My family is taking this flu VERY seriously.

If you are talented, work hard and succeed you get PAID. Nothing could be more fair than that. I wish UNT could pay her more.

None of this would have happened if drugs were legal.

Hey Lonnie, Has Bill Parcells ever considered you for one of his NFL coaching staffs? ... didn't think so. Maybe, just maybe, Todd Dodge knows a little bit more about coaching football than you.

Najeh Davenport broke into a girl's apartment and pooped in her closet. I hope Coker recruits people like that to play at UTSA.

I have lived in Minnesota. High school football there is a joke. They say there are no black people in Minnesota when Prince is on tour. Hard to find skill position athletes there. The best athletes in the state are wrestlers. As funny as it sounds, you can get to Minnesota from Denton without exiting I-35. It is a 12 hour drive straight north. Pretty smart of Minnesota to recruit Texas athletes. Minnesota is a great option for lower level Big 12 recruits who aren't good enough for Texas, OU or A&M but still want to play in front of large crowds.

I guarantee you that there are players on steroids at every D1 football program in the country. Who cares?

Breaking news here... athletes use steroids. I also hear they drink water and breathe air.

Who cares what community college classes the losingest quarterback in UNT history is taking? What are Riley Dodge's thoughts now that he has been cast in a leading role?

SMU was as bad as we were last year, don't you think they would be holding on to these guys if they could play?

If they aren't good enough to play at SMU they aren't good enough to play at UNT.

He is plenty big for a DE in the Sun Belt and his speed would be a much bigger weapon at DE than at LB. This guy is a DE.

DFW is the most overrecruited area in the country. There is nothing about this area that makes the athletes extra special. Yes, there is good high school football here and maybe a DFW Class 5A player is more prepared for D1 than a 2A player from the middle of nowhere, but that advantage disappears once the 2A guy gets in a college program. Why battle with every school in the country for DFW's scrubs? At some point, when are program improves its prestige, we may be able to grab some elite DFW recruits, but we aren't there yet. Hot Toddy just has to do his homework and find players were no one else is looking.

Who cares if Riley is 5'9 1/2? The Sun Belt isn't the NFC East. You think Chase Daniel is any taller than Riley? He's not and he had a hell of a college career in a conference wildly superior to the Belt.

Somebody's been reading Malcolm Gladwell...
