Well this is very encouraging.

Withers940 · December 28, 2015

UNT has struggled at the position since the departure of Derek Thompson, who ranks second in school history with 7,447 passing yards and was the MVP of the Heart of Dallas Bowl in his final game at the end of the 2013 season.

Was being the MVP of a game featuring UNLV vs UNT something that big to write home about?! Or, to at least mention it a billion times. I like Vito, but he sounds like UNT90 with RV. And this MVP award really isn't that impressive to me. No one, and I mean NO ONE cares about the mvp award of this bottom rung bowl game much less most every othe bowl game. Why is this worth mentioning over and over and over and over again. I never hear about the MVP of any other bowl game but Vito goes off about it like it is some badge of honor. Can you mention any other MVP of a bowl game off the top of your head? So damn annoying!

A lot of people who read Vito's articles probably don't follow NT sports as closely as those on this board do. Repeating things that we already know is more important to the casual reader than to us as they don't have the background information we do.

He's got a point, it was 2 years ago for crying out loud! I think Vito is running out of ideas and new material to write about.

I'm just waiting to see when he mentions that Apogee Stadium cost $78 million dollars.

The MVP should of gone to the Defense because they dominated UNLV that whole game. DT wasnt that great but he has been the best we have had in a long time but for God's sake, Shut the Hell up Vito.

He didn't write the article for GMG regulars.

Hard to believe, I'm sure, but true nevertheless.

Don't need to impress YOU and WE do care! A KID fighting thru his knee issues to perform at that level was very inspiring!

What have YOU done lately?

glick1980 · December 28, 2015

Vito mentioned this as well, "Seldom used backup Josh Greer completed just eight of his 23 passes with two interceptions, including a devastating pick that was returned 65 yards for a touchdown in a 20-17 loss to UTEP to cap the 2015 campaign." I am sure Greer's daddy will be sending Vito a passive-aggressive email at any moment.

Well...there isn't a hell of a lot to talk about right now, huh? I mean...we went 1-11 and haven't even gotten into uniform speculation on the board yet. Haha

Yeah, this time of year generally sucks if you don't have a bowl game. Dead period for recruiting. Ready to start hearing commitments and offers, we are hearing less than I thought we would for only having 5 recruits committed and many recruits making up their mind during the break despite dead period...

"Smith will return next season, but the senior seems like a poor fit for Littrell’s passing offense."

Just so you know Vito, Marquise Williams (UNC's QB) rushed for 867 yards on 141 attempts with 11 touchdowns...soo.....

I think he is trying to say an accurate passer, which Marquise Williams is (61% and higher completion over his career), and DaMarcus Smith is not (46% completion rate). Rushing QB is fine for this offense as long as you can pass accurately and efficiently as well..

A media person told me this when I asked him about why do reporters always bring up the past.

His response "I understand that people hate bringing in the context of the past, but it is drilled into media people. You can't assume people know anything in terms of context."

Future UNT hall of famer Derek Thompson. So...

Does anyone know where this kid is on the Ole Miss depth chart?

It appears he is either co-2nd or 3rd string.

Eagle-96 · December 28, 2015

Right now most 2nd and 3rd string QBs across the nation could immediately start for UNT. P5, G5, FCS, JUCO, pick your level. People, we need to come to grips with the fact that we have a serious serious lack of talent at QB and have had one for a while. THAT is Littrell's most pressing and urgent job. FIND A QB THAT IS COMPETENT. He doesn't need to be all conference or all world. He just needs to be COMPETENT. We don't have that right now.

This includes 2013.

DT was great by comparison to guys like McNulty...but still average

Was hoping someone would pick up on that. Its been pretty dry around here since Hall and Smith. Before that there was a drought between Maher and Hall.

We have run out A LOT of spares in my 20 plus years following the team:

DeepGreen · December 28, 2015

Seriously, and I don't care if he was 2nd or 3rd team, when was the last time an SEC QB considered transferring to UNT?

Can you tell me the MVP of any bowl game this year off the top of your head. It is rather meaningless to keep Mentioning something no one really gives much notice to. Whether he deserves the freaking MVP is irrelevant to my argument that it means little to nothing to most anyone.

What does it matter what I have done lately? Unt athletic wise... No one has done anything lately.

Green Mean · December 28, 2015

If he decides to come he'd only have 1 year left in eligibility. I'll certainly take it but wish we got at least a couple of years on a potentially solid transfer at that position.

MDH · December 28, 2015

I have a few friends that went to Ole Miss that state he was in the running for #1 until Kelly emerged late. I watched him play in a couple games in his career - he would be a huge upgrade to Smith.
