It's a game. Make a bold pick, like saying Rico Bussey will get 1,000 yards. Doesn't have to necessarily make sense. Use truthiness and shoot from the hip. I also see about 3-4 wins, but it's a consensus figure - that's why it isn't bold. A bold statement would be to say we are headed to a bowl. But like I said, the point of the thread is to pick a player not wins.

Isn't everything in life clickbait? That bag of Sam's Choice Dorito's knock off. That can of Coors Light. That car loan. Getting involved in a land war in Asia. It LOOKS like it could be good, but alas...

Defense looking a whole lot more appealing past couple days.

Are you saying injury risk or pulling a Blaine Gabbert? Yeah, no way to know about injury risk. Not wanting to get hit? You're right, can't know 100% either. But he works the pocket well, keeps his eyes downfield, throws the ball away when the pocket collapses. There's evidence he's not going to Gabbert completely. Additionally, the wide offensive line splits, two-back sets, and air raid routes are designed to reduce exposure to any hits, really. QBs were releasing the ball 2 to 3 seconds after the snap.

I'd like to know the history between him and Phillip Rivers. UNT QBs? All busts, unless he can take credit for DT.

Some obvious things do come out in practice. McNulty was just as hesitant and indecisive in practices as he was live. Dajon showed the same. Means was very inaccurate. Greer showed a limited arm and/or bad mechanics. Morris does need to improve on the deep ball - he sets his feet a little too far apart at times, losing power and deep ball accuracy. Morris is accurate in the short to intermediate range. Morris can work and climb up the pocket. He's got good vision, and he can read his defensive keys quickly. He's not a scrambler but he can get upfield quickly if he needs to. All of that matters and translates to the field, so we can make an educated guess on how he will fare. Sure you can say that "we don't know what we don't know", but either A) you're wanting to save yourself from disappointment or 2) it safely puts you in a position to either say "I told you so/don't shoot the messenger" or "I'm so glad it worked out for the better". Caution is not an attribute of college football fans that pretend (or portend) to know things.

That's fine and all but 1) It is not a bold prediction 2) It is not a bold prediction regarding a sleeper

At the very least, because our base D has 5 dbs rolling out there, opportunity will be there.

So it should make it easier to pick a player.

Defin'ly. I'll safely take the over on that.

Bump. A lot of new faces, a lot of gone faces. Change your mind?

*In the most Kobe of voices* I wish we knew.

If there is a Acceptable Colloquialisms in Social Media class, sign me up doggone it!

Navy is now AAC

could make a decent inside receiver

Won't be able to make it. Have to be in Sherman that day.

I do believe the department identified this problem in particular and cleaned it out. New hires.

Ok let's recap: Littrell came in December. One UNT commit. Then, signing day came in February after having to hire nearly an entire staff. After that, they are having to recruit an entire 2017 class as well as picking up more 2016 commits. It's going to be a rough couple classes, as is the nature of long-term rebuilding.

iirc, Indiana over the past decade has had a few G5 games in the region. Similar to what Army is doing in CUSA. But these are the kinds of teams we should try to attract. An actual opportunity game like Colorado.

So this should bring up a couple of questions if we're playing AD for a day: How were those 92 G5s able to schedule a Big10, Big12, or ACC school? So part of the answer seems to be geography is playing a key role here. Schools like Texas will never ever ever play Apogee, leaving *maybe* schools like Tech (or another regional mid-to-low level P5 school), for example. Who would we consider a regional mid-level P5, and how do we get them to come here? My second question is, what is Rice, UTEP, UTSA, Texas State, SMU, Houston doing that we aren't to get a P5 in? For all but one or two, it certainly isn't winning. Who are they scheduling and do they went to take a trip here I appreciate the time you took to get this data @MeanGreenMailbox, but I still am left with the question "Why not North Texas?". Everyone else (G5 in Texas) has brought in a P5. Why can't we? Oh and one final question: how in the hell did we get KState, Baylor, Tech, Indiana (did I miss anyone) to come to Fouts and not Apogee (Indiana series already in place)? Let's go back to that strategy.

Though I got them this year, previous two years I didn't. I had to call or email, but they'd send them right away.

So, a reverse back patch, per se.
