I second this.

The festival has both feature length and short films, but their website doesn't have the films that will be there listed yet, so it could just be a short documentary or it could be feature length. If it's a short, I'm wondering if it is this, which has been available to view for a while:

Anyone have any more info on this? I was poking around looking for new articles on Mason and I came across this interesting bit of news. The film festival is in Denton in April. https://www.tulsaworld.com/communities/skiatook/news/osiyo-voices-of-the-cherokee-people-showcasing-special-features-at/article_4f46b2a9-dad3-56a2-8b89-14b396420d5a.html From the article: "The producers of Cherokee Nation’s Emmy award-winning documentary series, “Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People,” have been selected to screen their short films at several major film festivals in 2019. What began as a monthly, 30-minute news magazine-style program in February 2015 has morphed into a weekly show and reshaped the way the tribe shares about its history, language, culture and people. Now Cherokee Nation is sharing those stories as individual short documentaries, competing in film festivals across the globe. The series, and the short documentaries within it, has earned numerous regional, national and international accolades, including five Heartland Regional Emmy awards and most recently Best Short Documentary at the LA Skins Fest, which featured more than 70 Native American, independent productions representing hundreds of reservations, nations and tribal organizations."

Not quite. He came on in Mac's last year and redshirt in 2015. I have no actual info, but my speculation is that the new coaching staff may have not been interested in him or vice versa. From everything I've seen and read, hes a great athlete, so I am disappointed. Reeder likes TEs, so this move really surprises me considering how few we have on the roster unless there was something else behind the scenes that we are unaware of.

I mean it's been a few years.

Doesn't change the fact that they were within a TD of Bama until the end of the 4th quarter.

That's actually a poor example because they almost won that game even without McCoy.

I'm not sure it's entirely fair to criticize the Utah State game with Mason being taken out. You could make the argument that Mason getting injured game shouldn't have mattered that much for a "good team" but "good teams" have trouble adjusting across the board from High School to the NFL when their starting QB goes down. And I think you're probably reading too much into the coaching carousel buzz. And as others have pointed out we have had serious deficiencies in the trenches, especially on the offensive side. It was both sides of the ball in 2016 and 2017, though the dline was much improved last year for the most part. Oline still sorting it out. I think that has more to do with the blowouts than anything else. That being said, the blame is still on Seth and I don't disagree with most of the criticism of his tenure here, but it is still light years from where we've been since Dickey had is run. I inferred it from your post basically saying he hasn't accomplished anything here, which is false. And throughout this post you basically say the same thing. I've even conceded in every post in this thread that he needs to finish seasons strong and that it is disappointing the various issues and poor results we've had in most of the big time games. I'm not saying we need to anoint him king and pay him $20 million a year, but there seems to be a fundamental lack of respect for where we are now versus the ****hole(note: proverbial coaching ****hole, not the university itself, which I of course love) we were wallowing in for a decade before he came here.

Yeah, he's done such a horrible job here bringing us to three bowl games in 3 years and having a solid winning record the past two seasons from when we WENT 1 AND 11 IN 2015. We are not that far removed from that blunder of a season and the turnaround he has orchestrated is nothing short of a damn good job well done, bowl season and end of the season "woes" aside. Next year without Harrell calling plays will an interesting year I think in terms of how we finish games and how we finish the season.

I actually think the writing on this one was fine.

Ummmm...did nobody see this opinion piece posted last week? I generally don't disagree with the criticism, but the title is a very bold proclamation. For positives, the writing is better than most NT Daily articles. Still, I don't like the tone of the article and the assumption of Littrell's departure next year...even if I would agree that it is more likely than not. If there was already a topic on this article I'll delete it, but I didn't see one and I went back a couple of pages. https://www.ntdaily.com/column-as-good-as-gone/

I felt that we underutilized TEs in our pass offense last year. Between the addition of Reeder and Hayes should help in that regard next season.

****

Giggity.

Just got time to read the chalk talk article and see the film they put in of Reeder's offense. I am very excited for this hire. We should have the right skill positions to execute his offense at a high level. Especially considering line play at the FCS level isn't the best and considering our OLine play has been pretty bad by FBS standards, the creativity of Reeder's schemes could really open this puppy up. I'm excited. I'm pretty sure this is a case of it fitting like a glove.

I'm waiting on next week's NT Daily article myself.

Hey Brett, may wanna fix this: "Tommy Mainord is expected to promote Tommy Mainord to co-offensive coordinator, according to the report."

Jeff Wilson went to the combine last year. He couldn't participate in a lot of the drills because he was still recovering from his injury though.

Friendly reminder that this is still on the table(in my mind)...seriously, we gonna have an OC for spring ball or what?

Yeah. It was kinda embarrassing to play them last year /sarcasm.

His family is in the area in Arlington I think. I think it's more about that than anything else

Poona Ford didn't get invited last year and he played last season.

I still think Shane is the better passer. I just don't think he's a good fit for Herman's system. Not that Ehlinger is bad, I like both of them.

Maybe trying to under hype him so they get him cheaper as a UDFA?

Damn, that's a pretty solid upgrade.
