Senior running back Antoinne Jimmerson elected not to travel with UNT to the game at Louisiana Tech on Saturday, interim coach Mike Canales said Monday.

Jimmerson ranks 13th in program history with 1,799 rushing yards, but he has seen his role diminish as sophomore Jeffrey Wilson's role has grown.

Canales said Jimmerson has been dealing with a friend being shot last week and has also not been pleased with his role. He had 5 yards on 12 carries in his last three games.

I wish someone would talk some sense into him. I've been in his shoes. He's going to miss the life. He has less than a month of football left for the rest of his life and when it's over, it's over. There hasn't been a Fall I didn't miss playing and more importantly hanging out with the types of guys that are attracted to football. You don't get a comical cast of characters like this in the real world. He doesn't realize he will even miss the travel, the never ending meetings, the beat downs in practice, the weight room, conditioning, off season early mornings, ass chewings, and I could go on. Anyone who's lucky enough to be in his shoes needs to appreciate every second he has left.

I got my ass kicked around as a scout teamer in high school and rarely ever saw the field, and I miss that to this day.  Well said!

Candidly not to raise the topic of the draft Chico movement but I agree with him. No one should be begged to play football. You are with us or against us. Whether you are happy with your role of not you are playing fbs d1 football a chance most will never get.

Jimmerson is a senior and needs to be a leader no matter what the situation is. However I believe he is done mentally and just counting down the days until its all over.

I haven't seen anything that looks like quit in Canales.  Maybe he's auditioning for a job.  I like what appears to be discipline.  I'm surprised that a scholarship athlete can decide for himself what games he wants to participate in and those he doesn't.

So, he just quit as far as I'm concerned.

I hope they tell him to hit the road and have a nice life.

Character issues abound with this guy.

Maybe he can get a job at Walmart?

He's pissed, who cares? Jimmerson is getting a free education & playing D1 football, something a lot of kids dream of. I'm pissed at him for getting arrested for shoplifting at Dillards his freshman year & getting arrested again this year at 2:00 am, not only embarrassing himself but his family & his teammates. He's had some good highlights here, who can forget the ULL or Rice games? Stick it out and grow up Jim Jim.

      We’d Love To Have You

      You’d be surprised how many people go to every football game but rarely make it to the basketball games. There is a large and loud contingent of fans that want a defensive minded coach. Well.. there’s one right across I35 and I’d bet he would love to have another 250-500 fans a game.

      Offensive Woes

      Yup, it's what army and Tulane did to us too. Defenses have our number and we have to pivot to something else.

      Offensive Woes

      You could have posted #3 and still identified 90% of the issues. The Texas Tech “throw it sideways and hope to get forward” garbage is consistently putting us behind the sticks. It was sooooo clear last night that nUTSAck’s corners knew they could blow plays up by getting around the WR that was trying to block them on the perimeter (and our blocking was also a bit suspect in that regard)

      Caponi fired

      No. You never promote somebody that has two or three successful games as an interim when you need somebody that proves he can do it for a long duration. Retain the best position coaches, let the new DC select replacements for the others... and then get them all recruiting the players that they need for their system. There should be no viable excuses for next season's defense.

      Good. Accountability. MAYBE EM is feeling some heat.
