Out of curiosity does anyone know which team had the higher rated recruits?

The stupidity of the wall seems pretty well covered here. I just want to add one more thing. The best way to stop illegal immigration is to quit hiring them! Those of you that built a house. Did you check to make sure everyone on the project was legal? No that would have cost you time and money. Are you hammering on vegetable growers to have certified “Patriot Picked” vegetables to buy at the store. Of course not. That would double the cost of your tomatoes and we can’t have that. The list goes on. Americans are such hypocrites about illegal immigration. Just make it super easy for these hard workers to come legally to do the myriad of jobs that Americans will never do. Then, quit spending billions on a wall that is already in place in the majority of areas it is feasible and needed.

This is all pretty much spot on.

I don't know these people and I don't know the situation. So you can correct me with first hand knowledge and I will be better off for it. That said, I think the family played this brilliantly. Hunter took the unwavering hard-line stance. That allowed the father to come in and negotiate a deal from a position of strength and walk away with twice as much money and better terms than the offer they had less than a year ago. Hunter says he did not know and walks away with no egg on his face. They also managed to set a higher print and raise the basis for the car wash and book store. I bet they are thankful.

I see this as good for football and bad for basketball

Me saying that Trump is a terrible person is not an endorsement of anyone else. Thankfully I am not that simple. I have never met a perfect person and I don't hold anyone, Presidents included, to that standard. What I do know is Trump is unequivocally a terrible person. His life long body of work proves this. If you don't agree with me that is fine but I wonder where exactly do you draw the line.

Using every lesson taught to you as a child as a measuring stick, yes Trump is a terrible person. We can go through all of the examples but you know them. If you vote for him you just don’t care that he is a terrible person.

Side question. What happened to Roosevelt Smart? He was crazy good a couple of seasons ago. Is it something mental or physical that has him out of his game? I’ll hang up and listen…….

Unless it’s Trump! Then cheat all you want and take my vote! Honestly he is doing us all a favor by spreading his greatness around. MAGA!!!

I will be there. Ginger Man after sounds like a good idea.

#offseasonrandomness How old is the fan picture on the front of GMG? It seems it has been many years now that these friendly faces have greeted us when we get our daily GMG fix. Does anyone else wonder where these people are now and how they are doing? Are any of you in the picture, and can shed some light on the subject? How does it feel to see yourself on the front page every time you log in? Yes, it's a slow morning in the office for me.

Without taking a side on the underlying issue I would like to take exception with the thread title. It implies that good guys with a gun ‘saving the day’ is a regular occurrence when in fact it’s rare. Even more rare is to have said good guys with the level of training this man had.

I will be shocked if either are drafted.

For what we pay I am convinced we can find another up and coming coach that can win everything but big games.

My prediction is Seth takes on the OC role.

I really don’t care about missing out on Renfro. You never really know how things will play out. Maybe he will be a star maybe not. I do get perturbed by kids backing out of commitments only because it hurts our recruiting in so much as we move our focus on other positions once that box was checked. Such is life I know.....

ODU sells-out their stadium for almost every game. They also beat a top 25 team last year.

I won’t disagree with any of that but in my observation people, however slightly, don’t care about the game as much.

It’s all relative as every university is struggling with attendance but some are down from much higher numbers. One quick example is Notre Dame sellout streak just ended at 273 games. The second longest streak in the nation. So the question is why do people not like football as much as they used to? Some may say they just don’t like going to games as much anymore but I tend to disagree. I have discussed this with many friends and while the answer is certainly convoluted many think two big factors is penalties and injuries. The game is not the one that was played 30 years ago.

I still support SL because I think he is a fierce competitor that is willing to change until he finds the success he is looking for. He will learn from this season and build on it. On top of that things feel less bleak to me because we have been unlocking the mysterious recruiting box. I have never seen us recruit well, outside of a couple good Darrell Dickey classes, until recently. Now to say something deeply unpopular. Mason Fine is not a big game player. He has racked up amazing stats against lower and equal teams. When it comes to winning the big game not only does the team lay an egg but Mason generally looks pedestrian at best. I think he is a good player and even better human being but I think he shares some blame in the teams big game woes.

My understanding this will be built in the park area between where all the RV's park on game day and the road. Which is why it upsets me on a selfish level. I love parking my trailer there and letting the kids play all day on game day. That said I don't come to enough games to truly be upset but as it currently stands UNT has the best tailgaiting areas of any school. I just hate to see that messed with.

Possible the 17 is only those watching on FB

Only 17 people watching on FB. Can that be right?
