Exactly. These wins are what I meant by saying we're in basketball purgatory. They still count as a win so, as Censored by Laurie said, the BOR and RV can say "look, we have a winning record," so they don't have to fire him. But we obviously aren't a winning team and we get embarrassed every time we play a real D1 team.

Thank you DISD

Cooper Jones back to qb. Let's not sell ourselves short with the competition at qb. Okay, all joking aside, I think Harry hit at the major possibilities on the line, and that's where a move would be most likely. I think Reinhardt said on his twitter that he came in around 280 and is now down to 250-255. Seems like the coaches really want him at tight end. We don't really need any changes at the skill positions, although maybe Tucker or Jarvis move to running back with us having potentially just 2 scholly backs in the spring if Pegram and Rollins are still out. They seem kind of buried at defensive back. How about a trade? Quartaro trades Reinhardt to Nelson for Fleusche.

Apparently Ernie has left at least the SFA and Northwood game pissed. For good reason.

You guys realize that we're the only team that has knocked off Incarnate Word all season, right? #giantslayers

TJ Taylor's scoring ability might save our, and Benford's, tail once more.

He definitely looked much improved from high school in his JUCO tape. A big thing he needed to improve on was his accuracy. His junior year he started a few games while then Senior qb Miles Onyegbule (UT receiver) was injured. Greer completed just 45% of his passes in limited action as a junior. His senior year as a full time starter he had 24 tds but also had 11 picks and only completed 54.5 percent of his passes. Big kid, good arm, good program, but less than stellar completion percentage. Stats are from his rivals page. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Josh-Greer-110407 Some game-by-game stats from his senior year for those interested. http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/josh-greer/S2yYzvTpEeKZ5AAmVebBJg/default.htm In his year of JUCO ball for Navarro he had a very impressive year and showed some improvement, at least statistically, accuracy wise completing 63.5% of his passes. Also cut down on the ints with just 1 all year for a 8:1 td to int ratio. Here's a link to those stats. http://stats.njcaa.org/sports/fball/2013-14/players/joshgreer8vcz If he can continue to improve at the rate that he has then he could definitely be a good one for us.

Avery Fortenberry is grayshirting as well so he counts.

I also wouldn't rule out a tight end moving to d-line, like Chris Loving

9' 2". But that's according to the roster, so you never know how tall he actually is.

Based on our recruits' offer lists and ratings, absolutely.

Pretty sure he has a girlfriend and likes it here and what not. Don't know if that means he is for sure staying, but things like that factor in. But I agree with everything you said. It's just interesting that we'd have 5 qbs and I'm pretty sure Mac has said he only wants 4 qbs on scholarship at a time. Not to mention none of the 5 would be seniors. In the words of Arte Johnson, veeeery interesting

Are you suggesting Benford commit harakiri?

No, he has 3 years to play 3. He is class of 2012. Will come in as a redshirt sophomore.

Congrats Josh! Come along way since playing against him on JV. Yeah, agree with Plumm. Makes you wonder if all 3 of our returning qbs will be back for spring ball. I don't know, not going to speculate. We'll see in spring ball, where josh will have a chance to compete.

So, this was a thing at one point. First game for Benford was a matchup of #1 mid major (Creighton) against #2 mid major (us).

Seriously, don't worry about this.

If the situation of one of them leaving doesn't happen then I bet they'd all have a chance to compete in the spring. Then the odd man/men out would be presented with the idea of a position change.

I think I have been pretty realistic. If he ends to take a sit or be removed so be it but imam not going to go ringing the bells and singing praises because a man loses his job. The man's buyout will hardly prevent him from being able to put food on his family's plate.

Also, take into account that both an offensive and defensive player can wear the same number.

Great write up Zen, great analysis Ben. We have a lot of winnable games next year both on the road and at home. Home games against SMU, Nicholls, USM, UAB, La Tech, and an east division team should set us up nicely to just need to snag a few road wins and have another good record. Also guys, don't forget about Jalen Adams, the receiver from Oklahoma coming in. He turned down some decent offers like Tulsa and Indiana to come to North Texas. 4 guys coming in at receiver and you hope they all pan out, but we've got some options.

Fonzale Davis has said on twitter that he wants to be the successor to Brelan Chancellor and wear #3. Not sure about Goree.

Signed an extension with Bama. Said he never considered Texas. Basically the rumor gave him leverage, which everyone saw coming

I don't blame Georgia fans. They're the number 1 school in one of the top 5 high school football states in the country. Every top school from the top 7 high school football states have won a national championship and made an appearance in at least two since the BCS era has begun except Georgia, which has had 0 appearances. Texas (UT), California (USC), Florida (Miami, Florida, and Florida State), Georgia (UGA), Louisiana (LSU), Ohio (Ohio State), and Alabama (Alabama and Auburn). With those resources and that recruiting base you can't blame the fans for feeling like they have underachieved. Kind of the same deal with Texas. With those resources, that money, and that recruiting base they should be competing for a national championship and they haven't been close in 4 years.

Yeah, but they also got some bad breaks. Offense also shut down once they got up 35-20. They stopped the Allen offense then they got a bad break on Allen's punt. Hate to say they blew it, but they did as a team. Just like they won 14 games as a team. Can't see Allen losing to Pearland, but I couldn't see Trinity losing to Pearland 3 years ago, after they knocked us out of the playoffs my senior year and were 15-0, so you never know.
