The senior came out of the scrimmage just like he went into it — UNT’s starter.

“Every opportunity Andy Mac is getting right now, he keeps getting better and better,” McCarney said. “He’s going to be hard to beat out. Not impossible, but if he stays healthy and keeps executing like he has this first week he will be hard to beat because he is really sharp.”

McCarney said he has been impressed with Smith’s athleticism but said he is way behind UNT’s other quarterbacks. Smith quickly moved up to share the third line on the depth chart with Connor Means, but he still has a long way to go with the clock ticking down before UNT’s opener.

“We are not just going to throw him in there,” McCarney said. “He has only been here a week. We are not elevating anybody based on hopes or dreams or wishing or hoping or wanting. It’s going to be based on performance each day and consistency in fairness to the guys who have been here. He’s getting a lot of work. He would tell you that.”

Smith wasn’t made available to the media following practice.

Headline should read "McNulty doesn't lose job in scrimmage."

Not sure which is worse, McNulty starting or that he's constantly getting shoved down our throat.

Mac has been getting more and more defiant over the past couple years.  Kinda curious if anything like that went down at Iowa St. because I get the impression that the people up there have very mixed opinions of him.

Mac knows what the fanbase thinks of AM. He wants to win with him so bad so he can point and laugh in everyone's face.  :D

Really?  You think GMG.Com represents the "fan base"?  Heck, about 2/3 of the fan base have never heard go GMG.Com I would hazard to guess.  GMG.Com represents a certain segment of the fan base, no way the majority of the fan base.  Depending upon, of course, how you define what is...is.

Not disputing your thoughts regarding Andy Mac, but I do think Coach Mac has much to much on his plate to care one iota about shoving anyone down anyone's throat.  Mac wants to win...period.  He will start the players he thinks gives the team the best chance of winning.  Fans, of course, have their own opinions.  Often, quite different than the HC for any number of reasons and not always talent related.

I know it is not a popular opinion here, but I am guessing the majority of the fanbase are willing to go with whoever Coach Mac trots out on the field.

i assume most here recall all the crap-ola spewed here regarding the QB situation the year Mr. Thompson was heading into his senior year...how did that end up?  Nine wins including a New Year's Day Bowl victory.  Was Mac shoving DT down folks throats then?  If so...I hope he keeps shoving.  

We will all see soon enough how it works out.

Really? Because I recall last year  there were home games where MiniMac was booed onto the field and chants of "Da-jon" would rise. Just because they're not on GMG.com doesn't mean the collective consensus cannot arrive at a similar conclusion. They/we are not stupid.

In other news, Brett Vito continues to be this fanbase's largest troll.

Considering that this site has over 13,500 registered users (obviously not all fans), I'm not so sure that a pretty hefty percentage of our fan base isn't at least aware of this board. Of course that kind of depends on how we define our fan base, and based on our season ticket sales our "true" fan base numbers leave a lot of room for improvement.

Really?  You guess that a third of the fan base have heard of gomeangreen.com?  Impressive!  Good work Harry and Evan and sometimes Ashton!

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.
