I'm a big guy so it goes without saying there aren't too many dishes I would turn away. Plus it's Texas, so I'd have to imagine there are some damn good BBQ places in the AO.

If you want good BBQ you're going to need to venture down to Fort Worth on your trip

Come to North Texas. The job is, quite literally, yours for the taking and it won't take much to be an upgrade. Mac had this to say about Mini Mac... "“We don’t need to keep moving guys around a

Nah,

Since he's likely coming from DFW, just stop down at Hard 8 in Coppell on the way up to Denton.

If he's driving, bless his heart, then stop somewhere in East TX. Lots of good places to choose from out there: Stanley's in Tyler is probably the best bet.

We're probably planning on flying in. Since I travel for work, I have plenty of miles to use anyhow. So it sounds like Hard 8 is the move!

Thanks.

I imagine this same type of pity party/weeping and gnashing of teeth would have occurred had McCarney allowed Berglund to start a couple of game and turn the ball over six or seven times with his "athletic ability" as well.

To the Berglund/Berglund, Jr. crowd: It doesn't matter what the game plan is if the quarterback won't learn it. And, further, if he's giving the opposing teams 42 points, he's playing for the wrong team.

What McCarney is signaling to HS kids is that he'll happily offer you a scholarship if you are willing to dedicate yourself to the program and put in the work it takes to be a quarterback at this level. Unfortunately for us and Mac, we've had too many who couldn't or wouldn't.

Your just saying that because you love DT...

And other stuff...

If you venture down to Cowtown, Coopers Bbq in the Stockyards right across from Billy Bob's is a little pricey, but worth it. Best beef rib I've ever had. Sirloin is also yums.

I have never eaten at the Hard 8 in Coppel, but the original in Stephenville (bout an hour SW of Fort Worth) has some of the best BBQ in Texas. And get the jalepeno cream corn. Trust me on this.

If the one in Coppel is half as good as the original, it's worth the stop.

I'm talking about the pity party people had here for Berglund, and the one they are having now for Dajon.

This fan base is amazing - they clamor for QBs who show no inclination whatsoever to learn the playbook and the position. They live in the dream world were "athletic" quarterbacks just pull the ball down and run 80 yards.

It's fine against Nicholls State. But, we don't play Nicholls State 12 times a season.

So, get used to having a QB who isn't spotting the opposition 21 points a game and be happy. Sure, it won't be as exciting watching opposing DBs and LBs running back fumbles and interceptions. But, it gives us a better opportunity to win...which I thought was the object of football and other sports.

The bolded is correct. If I'm reading this thread correctly, nobody is clamoring for Dajon specifically. We're just clamoring for ANYONE to step up, or sign up in Feb---but apparently our coaching staff is good with who we've got and aren't taking a QB this year!?? Means or Chumley better be the real freaking deal.

In all reality, our defense is so bad that it really doesn't matter. Any team that is determined to run the ball on us will be able to. It seriously looks like 2005 all over again. Our "experienced" secondary is basically negated every game because our front 7 is just getting dominated.

Before this season I never would have believed that a Mac coached team could field such an awful defense. It is discouraging.

Yes & Yes.

Haven't been to the one in Stephenville.

You guys know we have a kid who could sling the ball around a little bit in high school on the basketball team.

Todd Eaglin - As a senior at The Woodlands Christian Academy, he threw for 3,489 yards and 38 touchdowns, while also running for 1,079 yards and 17 more scores.

Man...football and BBQ. I'm not sure why I haven't already moved to the Lone Star State!

You're gonna need some good Tex-Mex too, but there are so many different opinions... it really depends on what you like. Start up a thread on places to see/eat before you come in. It will hit about 3-4 pages, mostly about different Tex-Mex restaurants & why they're the best/worst.

When we start completing passes to people other than Carlos Harris and opponents, I can see our offensive game plan changing.

Ball distribution was impressive at UAB. But that was the exception and not the norm.

I never have acclimated to the emphasis on beef in Texas BBQ. I don't dislike it, per se, but I still prefer pork, particularly in the rib category. I cannot give you a valid reason for that.

Angelo's has the best pork ribs in town by a mile, that's why I put them ahead of Railhead. Cousins has some really good pulled pork.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Considering what he has done with the resources at his disposal, that is “elite”. He had a 146-24 record as a head coach in junior college with a national championship runner-up season. You don’t think he had elite players? At North Texas, he was the primary recruiter of Zach Simmons and somehow kept a great player at the hardest position to fill in college basketball at North Texas for his entire career. Last year, he somehow convinced the 2nd and 3rd best players from a NIT winner to stay at North Texas despite much higher NIL offers elsewhere. This year, he dipped into the transfer portal again and has assembled a team off to one of the strongest starts in program history. That is elite. What do you think a guy like that could do with an even bigger NIL budget?

      Returning Players, Transfers, or Freshmen?

      Chandler Morris WILL get P4 offers similar to what Chandler Rogers got at Cal (which I heard was $250K). And we won’t be able to offer anything near that. But considering his injury history and less impressive 2nd half of the season (including WAY too many interceptions) I don’t see him getting a “Godfather” $1M+ offer to go start somewhere. And while $250K was probably a lot of money to Rogers, Morris’ dad has made MILLIONS coaching and being a returning starter with the potential to put up even bigger numbers would probably be more valuable to him as this is his third school already and his career trajectory after next season will probably be NFL tryout, get cut, begin well-paid college coaching career under one of his dad’s many connections. But it only takes ONE godfather offer to change his mind and never underestimate the desperation of P4 boosters.

      Running game

      The college game keeps evolving and with change comes opportunity. The head coaching job now is a lot different than when SL was here. Football tactics and strategies continue to evolve too and much of the offensive plays that SL ran to become successful have been figured out by defenses. Considering SL has already been fired from his next job, it is likely his tenure here would have continued to go downhill as well.
